Why Languages Aren't As Arbitrary As They Look

A study of more than 1,900 languages suggests that word forms are shaped by a universal balancing act between efficiency & avoiding confusion.

When English Becomes a Barrier to Knowledge

Scientific expertise may be universal, but access to science is not: new research reveals the hidden language tax paid by non-native English-speaking researchers.

#ELT #TldrELT #AppliedLinguistics #EnglishForAcademicPurposes #AcademicWriting…
When English Becomes a Barrier to Knowledge
For decades, English has served as the global lingua franca of science. The benefits are obvious: researchers from different countries can communicate, collaborate & share findings through a common language. But every lingua franca creates winners & losers. For many researchers around the world, English is not merely the language in which they communicate their science. It's an additional hurdle they must clear before their science can even be evaluated.

The Elastic Clock in Your Head

Time may be one of the most important classroom variables we almost never think about, yet research suggests our experience of it is constantly being reshaped by attention, emotion & context.
