Why LIKE? (Language-Integrated Knowledge Education)
• Human knowledge fundamentally mediated by specialized uses of language– STEM, social sciences, humanities, professional
fields
• “thinking is a form of communication … learning is modifying and extending one’s discourse (Sfard, 2007)

• What terminology is specific to your field or course of study?
• What phrases and collocations (words that co-occur) do you notice in textbooks, research articles, lectures, and other materials?
• What high-frequency language patterns seem most relevant for – writing meticulous lab reports– documenting computer code or architectural renderings– presenting compelling business plans– producing abstracts for literature conferences– engaging in post-structural analysis of the public sphere?
