Check out our chapter in Studies in Language Testing. Lots of useful work in this series for #tleap and assessment folk
Volume 56 of the Studies in Language Testing series includes a chapter from me and @EdTedC about teachers working in #tleap assessment roles.
Lots of other interesting case studies in the volume, too.

LLMs exhibit covert racism through dialect prejudice, showing even more negative biases against AAE speakers than humans: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

It appears its finally out now. Working with all the chapter authors has been a great pleasure, especially my co-editor @LaetitiaM19 - this volume should be of interest to #tleap @baleap
bloomsbury.com/uk/practition… I co-edited this volume with @LaetitiaM19. We wrote a chapter on socio-analysis of the field of EAP. Some excellent contributions from around the world by @BeeBond1 @Namali_T @tanzela @MichelleJoube18 @PhDgirlSA @IwonaPringle @sarahtee7

Remember when we were all a bit worried about *20* universities on The List?
😰 58.
@qm_ucu have created a live web page of all the closures and redundancies in UK Higher Education. There’s currently over 20 Uni’s and the list is growing by the day. qmucu.org/qmul-transformatio…

Rob is right - universities shouldn’t be doing this. My university has a partnership and let their perfectly good EAP dept waste away, leaving the embedded college the only place for me to get FT work locally. And this week I’m facing redundancy after working here just over 1 yr.
Low key reporting of a recent case of HE privatisation. How will low paid and insecure teaching contracts lead to the promised 'world class' teaching?

This role includes 20% scholarship time and so offers the potential for a realistic pathway to Education Track professorship within a few years.
