It makes complex linguistic theory and academic practices accessible for enabling students. It involves not only an overall style of teaching, but also a creative use of the metaphor of cupcakes, along with peer-learning activities, which scaffold students’ disciplinary knowledge and academic literacies. This, in turn, helps students improve their self-efficacy in the tertiary environment, enabling them to reach their academic potential. After the philosophy was formalised in the course, student engagement, satisfaction and retention improved, as did the quality of students’ assessed work. This paper demonstrates how an innovative and student-focused teaching practice can effectively promote student engagement and academic success.]]> Wed 29 Apr 2020 13:51:02 AEST ]]> Social and historical factors contributing to language shift among German heritage-language migrants in Australia: an overview https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36419 Wed 29 Apr 2020 12:13:03 AEST ]]> Hey, it’s what all the cool kids are talking about, okay?

This paper contributes to the investigation of how, and to what extent, English elements become morphologically embedded into German by analyzing the English-German hybrid formations from a corpus of everyday spoken German (42,429 types and 1,280,773 tokens) and the texts appearing in the Spiegel newsmagazine from the year 2000 (287,301 types and 5,202,583 tokens). General findings indicate that the most common form of hybridization is the compounding of English specifiers with German heads and much less the attachment of German morphemes (both derivational affixes and semi-affixes) to English stems in both spoken and written texts. These forms of hybridization demonstrate both the productive word formation processes of German as well as its contact-induced lexical enrichment beyond the mere direct borrowing of loanwords. However, when analyzed separately, the most frequently-occurring specifiers and heads were anglicisms. A slight preference for German affixation (affixes and semi-affixes) was found in the spoken corpus with the Spiegel corpus containing more English semi-affixes.]]> Tue 01 Sep 2020 09:47:47 AEST ]]> Measuring the academic literacies beliefs and researcher identity of research students https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28425 Mon 08 Jul 2019 14:08:49 AEST ]]> To -s or not to -s?
