My PhD student @curly_KeLi is looking for Chinese heritage language families in England, with a child aged 12-16, who might be interested in participating in her fieldwork. If you are interested, please contact her directly - RT appreciated :) :)

@vmurphyox Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉!

I’m honoured and privileged to take on this role in such an esteemed department and with such brilliant colleagues!

Remote assembly this morning hosted by @CityofTreesMcr at Seymour Park Primary school in Old Trafford- learning what trees do for us @KhawlaBadwan @samyia_ambreen @CYPTreescapes

@ZJAyres What nonsense! People in all sorts of situations do PhDs. I had 3 kids and a full time academic job but my lovely supervisor (Elena Lieven) supported me all the (rather long) way. Never give up!

@MissKAllen89 Sage Publications - or just google! Please don’t use Amazon though!!!

@GeeMacrory Where can I buy this?!

At last. Published by Sage. I’ve tried to counter the narrative that language acquisition is about the monolingual acquisition of English……

@valleseco @BBCNews It could be worse - years ago when my daughter worked for a phone holiday company someone asked about going to ‘one biza’

I wish people on @BBCNews would stop saying "Eye-biza"!!! The two i's have the same sound!

This is class. A serious message delivered with a light tone. “Day and night we kept our arses at home and fought the spread of the virus”.

@ian_cushing @baal_lkale Excellent talk! Thank you for the references 😊

Really enjoyed talking at #BAAL2020 and now listening to the other papers. I didn't quite get to the 'references' slide - here they are fo anyone interested...

@dugganjr Only just saw this! I don’t see a problem with this - on the contrary it could be good for him

@GeeMacrory Hi Gee, hope you're okay. I wanted to ask you about SEN/D and bilingual early years settings. It's about my son Max. He has Down's Syndrome as his nursery is English/Spanish and we're just wondering if it's a good idea for him.

Call for papers! NALDIC online conference 21st November: 'Multilingual Britain - successes, challenges & future directions' Submission deadline 18th September. @satealorg

@Kit_Yates_Maths Haha so Tim Yates!

Nothing like my northern dad for keeping my feet on the ground. Me: (Excitedly) Dad, did you hear me on the six O’clock news. Pallab Ghosh picked up the story. Dad: Yes, I heard it. I think you need to work on your breathing. Sounded like you were running out of breath. #Grounded

A big shout out to the Cheese Hamlet Didsbury for fantastic delivery service!!!

@catbeaumont @TPEassist Appalling

@KhawlaBadwan I couldn’t agree more - in the early days I had one that nearly made me give up!

It's frustrating how some reviewers hide behind anonymity and find it OK to provide rude, unprofessional reviews. sciencemag.org/news/2019/12/r…

baal.org.uk/what-we-do/ann… We need a host for BAAL2021. Please share and discuss the idea with friends and colleagues in #appliedlinguistics contact me at glenn.hadikin@port.ac.uk for further details or to discuss a potential bid. #language #linguistics

Couldn’t agree more! All our daughters did what they were interested in.

And now for return trip Heidelberg to Manchester after a few days teaching SLA to lovely German students!

@arndthen Congratulations ! And great to meet you at BAAL! 🎉🎉🎉

@catbeaumont I know....as a teacher I refused to do it!
