Description
As a linguist and language educator, I find it essential to translate research outcomes into classroom implementation. In this sharing, I first briefly describe an unsuccessful and a successful FDS proposal, exploring why one works and why the other does not, potentially due to applicability.I will also report on the progress of my current project, "Teaching Undergraduate Social Sciences and Business Writing: Integrating the Reader’s Perspective and Data-driven Teaching and Learning Approach". This initiative seeks to utilise students' previous work to enhance data-driven language instruction. I explicate the process of formulating discipline-specific language guides for written assessments and the development of workshops to promote practical engagement with web-based corpus tools for discovery and self-guided learning.
The presentation concludes with a reflection on present challenges and a call for collaboration with subject-specific lecturers. The objectives of this collaboration include: (i) broadening the development of teaching and learning (T&L) materials across various disciplines, and (ii) promoting the use of corpus tools among colleagues to analyse student-written data, thereby enabling an empirical evaluation of their performance and learning needs.
