This collects various papers, reviews etc I have written, mostly about teaching methods, CALL, 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 & 60s at the end. | |
