@StephZihms yes, the Manchester Phrasebank is GOOD!

Scott Thornberry & UEFAP were also suggested on X but more as glossaries whereas I wondered about a more substantial resource, one about key terms and concepts that have a history & that are contested (see thread at https://twitter.com/pace_ou/status/1785572527139373518).

My need is more along the lines of https://plato.stanford.edu/, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (which has referenced definitional entries).

Something similar for #tleap, that can be referenced.

Is there an authoritative peer reviewed & referenced #OpenAccess dictionary of #tleap (Teaching English for Academic Purposes) with definitions/explanations of common yet slippery concepts eg #AcademicVoice #Criticality #Argument, etc?

At 4pm (UK) on Thursday 25 January, I'm giving a #IOEWritingSeminar on how the theory of #CriticalRealism helps me make sense of #WhatMakesWritingAcademic.

Chaired by my #OpenUniversity colleague Dr Jackie Tuck.

[Just had a flashback to my former life in #tleap (teaching & learning EAP - English for Academic Purposes) and to the 'inspiration' behind #WhatMakesWritingAcademic: my students would NEVER have been allowed (by the other teachers) to get away with writing 'why *things* matter to *people*'🤣 #AcWri]

Hello @annamills, thank you for your work on #AI literacies, pedagogies, and awareness raising. It's helping me, at least, raise awareness within my own academic writing contexts.

Are you aware of any similar and/or specific work - including your own that I'm not aware of - relating to the use of #LLMs and other #ArtificialIntelligence writing technologies in #DoctoralWriting #DoctoralResearch #ResearchWriting?

Who else is doing research on artificial intelligence and academic writing that is policy and ethics-oriented?

Please boost, if you can, as I am hoping to reach #interdisciplinary voices & approaches to this, especially from the so-called #GlobalSouth, namely communities that don't seem to be getting much of a look-in right now on this 'western' concocted concern.

A reminder that English "is just one of the roughly 7000 languages spoken or signed in the world" and that studies in #CognitiveLinguistics have been biased because of this.

Grateful to a cognitive linguistics colleague for sharing this as these kinds of issues generally tend to be raised by socio-linguists & applied-linguists.

Following this thread with interest 🕵🏽‍♀️

Some observations from a non-tech perspective: 1 as a former #tleap tutor (English for Academic Purposes), the learning styles essay (albeit shorter than average EAP assignments) would warrant a high grade; 2 fact-checking in #HigherEducation is an inconsistent practice; 3 who is working on a 'critical literacy of #AI'?

I am looking at #hermeneutics #CriticalDiscourseAnalysis #CriticalRealism but not yet formally doing the research.
