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. My straightforward published books and articles
are listed in Publications
List. The texts here may differ
marginally from the published form and also some tables/phonetics symbols
etc may not have transferred well to the web; they are unedited (tempting
as it is!) except for formatting. Other materials on
SLA and language teaching can be found in SLA
Topics, on
writing in Writing System
Topics.
Note:
I am currently backfilling by adding odd papers from the 70s & 80s at
the end.
