@knzw783 @YSuzuki_SLAer Agreed… when in doubt, spell it out!

@YSuzuki_SLAer /áɪeseleɪ/ here...

Dear SLA colleagues, How do you pronounce the acronym ISLA? (I'm writing a ISLA textbook in Japanese and not completely sure which one)

@BronsonHui @kzmontgomery Or “how on earth did I acquire so much crap?!”

@kzmontgomery I know how that feels. Your life boils down to two suitcases per person. Safe travel

Remind me never to move again.

@nikebasketball @CaitlinClark22 It’s a great day to be a woman from Iowa ☄️

Just out on SSLA FV: Using CFA to handle emergent variables underlying an L2 construct? Alamer, Schuberth & Henseler suggest you try confirmatory composite analysis bit.ly/493Uhkc

Now that I have my own office, I’ve got a practical question for the senior scholars … how do you manage to not leave behind traces of food and coffee all over your desk??

The number of people facing “catastrophic” levels of food hunger in Gaza is 4 times higher than observed in “the rest of the world”, according to the latest IPC @WFP report. WFP predicts a famine if conditions persist: wfp.org/news/gaza-grap…

@TarjamaMENA "You clean up nice!"

Widely used by Arabic-speaking people across the region, “Na’eeman” is a unique #Arabic word that expresses a polite compliment or well-wishing to somebody who has had a shower, bath, haircut, or shave. Share with us what you think is an accurate English #transcreation of it!

MY NEW DEPARTMENT MADE GOODIE BAGS FOR US!!! #ucdenver

@MelissaBaralt @FIUCASE As an Arabic teacher and textbook writer, I would love to see what comes out of this!

I introduce you all to Dr. Noha Elsakka! My most heartfelt congratulations to Noha for successfully defending her dissertation today @FIUCASE . She (1) completed a rigorous needs analysis to create a fully task-based Arabic beginning-level language curriculum w 64 target tasks,

@BronsonHui Heck yeah, I am SO EXCITED for this paper! Look at my academic brother, all grown up 🥹

Response-time differences are common measures in SLA, but they are also notoriously unreliable. We tested a mixed-effects modeling approach to estimating the reliability of these measures with open data sets and simulations. doi.org/10.1017/S02722…

@LanierLingvista @shannon_d_quinn Thank you @LanierLingvista! @shannon_d_quinn, would love to learn more from you about this approach / genre!

@LizzHuntley Have you talked to @shannon_d_quinn about what she does with VKontakte for Russian? More for output than input, but social media as genre nevertheless.

L2 teacher friends: what are your fav social media accounts to show students examples of authentic language? Interested in examples from ALL languages, esp. non-prestigious registers (i.e. West African French, Puerto Rican Spanish) not typically covered in world lang textbooks

We should normalize just how good PhD students are. You already have a bachelors (maybe a masters too). You’re already highly qualified, and now you’re researching something that very few people IN THE WORLD can do. You’re literally one of the best in the world in your field.

@MattLaoshi The data decided that they would like to be a lava lamp once my dissertation is done

@LizzHuntley But actually what happened?! Does the item level data spread nicely to the floor and ceiling too??

Too honest?

@martinianoet We’re moving to Denver next year, come visit us!

I'm sure I'm missing many of the "passed/stopped here", but not too bad for a 5-year period living in this country. I definitely need to explore the Rocky Mountains!

@lopez_wd @pauljchristine I feel so seen!

@lopez_wd Oh shit... I'm definitely spouse A and @pauljchristine is spouse B...

It's the first day of your family's vacation. Are you the "we finally have time to talk about the serious things" spouse or the "why in god's name would we bring up hard stuff during vacation spouse"? every couple has one of each
