What I learned at KUT:Always design
Make a thing as good as it can be.
Ask: is this the best way?
And what does ‘best’ mean?

How can we test language learning?
The teacher is the servant
of the learner
Learn from our students
Shouldn’t that be true?
The learneris the client
of the teacher
Learn from our students
The learner pays the teacher, right?
The teacher should do what?
Help the learner to feel he’s learning.
Learn from our students
The teacher should do what?
Help the learner to forget she’s learning.

Thinking in English:

Pattern recognition
Design discovery #1
I think we should get a new car, because our car is getting old.
I don’t agree. Our car is running fine.
That’s true, but the tires are bald and the paint is faded. It looks bad.
You’re right, but we can get new tires and a paint job, cheaply.
I guess you’re right. We should save money and get a new car when we need one.

PhD writing:

Design discovery #2
PhD writing:
Readabilityis the key.
Design discovery #2
PhD writing:
Uncodedgrammarfeedback.-no learning

Editor marks
PhD writing:
Codedreadabilityfeedback.-big learning
Design discovery #2agr mistake with subject-verb agreement
awk A phrase or sentence is awkward (awkward = not smooth)
cas This language is casual, not formal.
comb Combine sentences.
conj This is a conjunction (don’t start a sentence with it).
gr grammar mistake
non-std this phrasing is not standard
par mistake with parallel structure
red redundant (some information has been repeated, e.g. The temperature was also recorded as well.
ref pronoun reference problem (what is the reference? is it correct form?)
rep repetitive
rephr Rephrase this.
run-on This is a run-on sentence; it's too long to be readable.
sp spelling mistake
S-V The subject and verb in a sentence do not agree in some way.
tense You have used the wrong verb tense (past/present/future) e.g. Yesterday I am going to Tokushima.
vag This phrasing is vague or ambiguous.
voice Change from the passive voice to active voice, or vice versa. e.g. The ball was hit by the batter. ('voice' means change to “The batter hit the ball.”)
windy This writing is run-on, it could and should be much shorter.
word Find a better word for your meaning.
Add something here (often an article).
verb
Add a verb here.

Design discovery #2Hunter’s 2-page system
PhD presentation:
Powerpointis not the key.
Design discovery #3
PhD presentation:
Argumentis the key.
Design discovery #3
PhD presentation:
Argumentis difficult to write.
Design discovery #3
For mapping approaches to summarizing and argument, graphics software and mapping software in general are preferable to pencil and paper because of ease of revision and restructuring. Among those software, Cmap Tools freeware has the further distinct advantage that it forces the user to specify the relations between links and thus reveals rhetorical structure or orchestration (or their absence) that is not visually apparent in text.
What structure can you see?
Argumentis easy to map.
Argumentis easy to map.

Many ways to show information
