Universities are chopping languages programs because we now have AI and auto-translate. Should you believe the hype? theconversation.com/your-united-...

Students using AI as a way of “correcting” their writing is a direct consequence of instructors prioritizing prescriptivist conventions over supporting students in developing unique authorial voices. How about we use this as a chance to shift our priorities?

You made it 😊 @yvettes.bsky.social welcome 🤗

Welcome to the club @ajscrim.bsky.social 😊

CFP for the PPTELL conference 2024 now opens!

Language on the Move is now on BlueSky - thanks to @jaetakeuchi.bsky.social!

Linguistic injustice is a structural design feature of society. Given this, the only path to linguistic justice is through a radical dismantling, reimagining, and rebuilding of entire structures. There is no linguistic justice within inherently unjust structures.

Language can be a feature, but it's always about more than just language

Finally made it thanks to @lauraskh.bsky.social 😉
