Lexitronics

Take a look at the September 2009 issue of the Reading Matrix online journal at: http://www.readingmatrix.com/current.html, where you can view and download John and Steve’s article on the development of eReaders. (http://www.readingmatrix.com/articles/sept_2009/eldridge_neufeld.pdf).

The Write Like an Academic  and Lexiclil Teacher Development Courses are now up and running and open officially as of today at: http://lexitronics.org/.  We’ll post more information over the next few days, but in the meantime feel free to take a look….

Just a reminder that there are two new papers out in draft at the moment from Lexitronics, the first about the development of the Write Like an Academic course at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/19997437/Write-Like-An-Academic-Designing-an-Online-Advanced-Writing-  and the second about our Lexiclil Teacher Development course at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/19938162/Towards-a-Lexical-Framework-for-CLIL 

Steve and John spent an interesting couple of days exploring CLIL and all things lexical at the new English School of Kyrenia this August. A busy summer for Steve, since he has been delivering a course in instructional technology in Cesme, Turkey. Meanwhile Nilgun is off to the Middle Eastern Technical University, Ankara, Turkey shortly, to present a keynote address on how the Write Like an Academic Course was put together. She’ll be accompanied by her PhD supervisor, Gulsen Musayeva.

Just a note that the Lexitronics MOODLE now has a new address at: http://lexitronics.org

At the moment we’re just tidying up the site, in preparation for the launch of the new online Write Like an Academic Course for postgraduate students and researchers, and the LexiCLIL teacher training course. Both products should be up and running within the next couple of weeks.
