The e-Feedback Evaluation Project (eFeP) | Project blog and website. eFEP team awarded University funding for follow-up scholarship project As part of the New Models of Assessment and Tuition Project, María Fernández-Toro, Concha Furmboroug and Matilde Gallardo were awarded £860 internal funding by the Open University to run a small pilot study to evaluate the potential of ‘feedback on feedback’ (F on F) as a means of improving student engagement with their tutor-marked assignments at the Department of Languages.
This method, which was originally developed for research purposes, yielded promising results in terms of its teaching potential. Therefore it seemed appropriate to consider the practical implementation of the same approach in a real teaching situation in order to transfer the project’s findings into good practice and bridge the gap between research and scholarship. Data collection for the pilot took place between January and July 2014 and the results are currently being processed. eFeP traning event 23rd May 2013 Forthcoming webinar. Students helping Students | LanguageTwin. La lengua ancestral de los eurasiáticos. Los lingüistas están siguiendo estrechamente los pasos de sus colegas los biólogos evolutivos para reconstruir el pasado del lenguaje humano, la forma en que una hipotética habla ancestral fue ramificándose de manera incesante hasta producir la babel actual de 5.000 idiomas irreconciliables.
Investigadores británicos y neozelandeses han hallado ahora sólidas evidencias de que todas las lenguas habladas actualmente en Europa y Asia, desde Lisboa a Pekín, provienen de una sola que se habló en el Mediterráneo hace unos 15.000 años, cuando la última glaciación empezó a remitir y las nuevas tierras emergidas del hielo perpetuo comenzaron a trazar las sendas que conectaron el gigantesco continente entero. La primera teoría evolutiva, de hecho, precedió a Darwin en tres cuartos de siglo y no se refería a las especies biológicas, sino a los lenguajes. The Economist explains: How do you invent a language? MORE than 5m people now hear a few words in Dothraki or Valyrian, the fabricated languages spoken in the television series “Game of Thrones”, each week—more than the number who hear Welsh, Irish Gaelic and Scots Gaelic combined. From the unsung (Babm and Brithenig) to the celebrated (Esperanto and Elvish), constructed languages, in various states of completion, now outnumber the world’s natural tongues.
Fantasy literature, science-fiction films and video games have fuelled a demand for otherworldly tongues—and fans increasingly expect them to be usable. So how do you invent a language from scratch? That depends on its purpose. These days most invented languages are created for artistic or aesthetic purposes, and often borrow features from existing tongues. Esperanto, the most successful invented language, may have as many as 2m speakers.
