Can't wait to take some time to savour this.
Really enjoyed listening to you both! I came for the Star Trek and stayed for the new ideas, media, and great chats. ❤️

I was at my Costco (in China) the other day. As you can imagine, they also cater to a certain population. 😀
On the other hand, I love being able to buy Canadian products, and Kirkland branded stuff too.

Thx for reminding me that I need to rediscover Andrew Miller.
Enjoyed some of his books a few years back. Need to re-read and see what I have missed.

I was fortunate enough to be in the audience at AsiaTEFL in Hong Kong in July when Osman Barnawi gave his plenary talk on this.
I hope my university library has this book.

Happy Halloween! We just watched episode 1 and super impressed!! Excellent classic horror. When Mr King says, "I'm gonna scare the hell out of you"... you just accept it. 🤣

It was a year of research and writing well-spent. I sincerely hope that anyone involved in CPD, whether inside or outside of China, will find some inspiration ✌️

We do have 'citation boot camp': foundation academic English courses. Problem is, they are usually only for 'international' students. And they are the programmes that were cut last year.
Very problematic that we assume all domestic students can cite.
ALL students need lessons in academic writing.

Jane Goodall taught us we could position ourselves closer to our research context, and write the results so that the general public (rather than only academics) could understand it. She was criticized for this at first (alongside the shock that she was a woman and young and blonde....).

Unbelievable!!
I have lived in a few non-free, non-democratic nation-states with absolutely no freedom of speech.
What they are saying and doing sounds familiar. It's absolutely chilling.

This was the best dramatic SNW episode (I do love that they lean into the absurdity as well); cried at the end. And it is sitting with me today as I go about my business.
La'an had to shoot. If she hadn't, it would have been hacky. Given her past, it couldn't have been done any other way.
