This collects various papers, reviews etc I have written,
mostly about teaching methods, Second Language Acquisition (SLA) or
writing systems, that have either appeared in obscure places or not at all
or a long time ago (some may appear eventually in revised forms), but which I feel are worth
making available to a wider audience, plus papers in progress. References to straightforward published books and articles can be
found in Publications
List. The texts may differ
marginally from the published form and also some tables/phonetics symbols
etc may not have transferred well to the web. Other extensive materials on
SLA and language teaching can be found in SLA
Topics, on
writing in Writing System
Topics.
