    Abstract ; The contribution analyses how the late medieval Harðar saga uses place-names as literary devices. It proposes that toponyms are employed not only to locate plot elements, but also for purposes of subversion, the dropping of keywords then taken up by the narrative in an often grotesque and ironic fashion, the creation of an (again, typically ironic) subtext, and the evocation of physical topographies and their visual appearance in the context of accounts of travels. Thus, the contribution argues that place-names are a central part of the storyteller’s toolkit which can provide important pointers for how to read the saga. ; Abstract ; Der Beitrag analysiert, wie die spätmittelalterliche Harðar saga Ortsnamen als literarische Ausdrucksmittel verwendet. Dabei wird vorgeschlagen, dass Toponyme nicht nur herangezogen werden, um die Schauplätze von Elementen der Sagahandlung zu lokalisieren, sondern auch zu Zwecken der Subversion, als insbesondere in ironischer und grotesker Weise verwendete Stichwortgeber für die Entwicklung von einzelnen Episoden der Saga, zur Schaffung eines (erneut typischerweise ironischen) Subtexts, und zur Evozierung des visuellen Erscheinungsbilds der physischen Topographie im Rahmen von Reisebeschreibungen. Damit erweisen sich Ortsnamen als ein zentraler Teil des »Werkzeugkastens« des Erzählers, der für eine Interpretation der Saga wichtige Anhaltspunkte geben kann.

    In the age of cloud computing and machine learning, innovative writing technologies appear to offer promising new ways of influencing thought processes and higher-order cognition of writers. These new tools support writers by helping them manage the complex interrelation between thinking, language use, communication, and text production. We will offer a short synopsis of the principal technological solutions and picture what their pedagogical impact on the teaching and learning of writing might be. Then, we will give three different examples of how new tools try to support the thinking behind writing.

    Although all members of EATAW will have their own thoughts on digitalization and, recently, more publications are devoted to this topic, we miss coherent discourses and feel that other contexts (mainly from the IT disciplines) have taken the lead in these discussions. For future EATAW conferences, we suggest placing a strong emphasis on digitalization and would like to discuss which aspects of it should be stressed most. For a first step, it would be great to initiate an exchange on hot issues in teaching and research related to digitalization and explore ideas for future collaboration. Christian Rapp and Otto Kruse will give an introduction to the session and explain the idea of it with a short input about some problems connected to the challenges of new digital tools for the teaching of writing and the question of whether and how much writing teachers should take over control and ownership of the new technology or leave it to the IT and E-Learning disciplines. Kalli Benetos will talk about the need for researchers and educators to put DESIGN and intent before technology in adopting more design-based research approaches to drive technology development and uses, instead of being led by "market forces". Chris Anson will address the following question: What are the consequences - ethical, developmental, rhetorical, and interpersonal - of having computers “read” and evaluate student writing?

    Keynote ; This keynote uses the case of collaborative professional text production to discuss the concept of linguistic practice from both theoretical and practical perspectives. By drawing on large corpora of real-life data and applying the multi-method approach of progression analysis, practices are identified that allow for flexible planning in the dynamic system of text production. Findings show that key features of the text production practices under investigation, as well as of the writing phases they dominate, scale up. This means that the patterns found in both practices and phases recur in similar forms throughout the various levels and time frames of text production. They are manifested during the split seconds it takes to make stylistic decisions as well as over the days, weeks and months of organizational document cycling. This understanding of scalability reaches far beyond former concepts of planning in text production research. In conclusion, it appears text production research conducted in real-life contexts sharpens theoretical approaches to linguistic practices on one hand, and contributes to sustainably solving practical problems on the other.

    This chapter extends the scope of the term ‘seamless learning’ to include writing as one of the most prominent learning activities in education. The seamless learning concept is used to analyse the ongoing flow of digital innovation with respect to the changing instructional and intellectual positioning of writing in its various contexts. The term ‘seams’ is interpreted as frictions or barriers in the writer’s experience, and the concept of ‘seamlessness’ refers to coherence in the practice and learning of writing. In order to understand the impact of digitisation on writing, this chapter recaps on the major development steps of digital writing technology, before offering an example of an integrated learning platform for the writing of academic theses which intends to offer students a seamless writing experience. The results indicate that the term seamlessness in the context of writing should not be directly associated with mobile learning or to the ubiquitous learning opportunities which are qualities that writing technologies have already offered for some time. Other more recent technological changes have provided considerably greater impact on what the authors term as ‘seamless writing’.

    This article examines the research and creative process of creating a short animated documentary about the relevance of Shakespeare for digital natives in Singapore. The film mixes animation and live action interviews in various forms to tell its story. The project offers new insights in three ways: First, by uncovering new facts about Shakespeare perception in Singapore. Secondly, by closely examining the specific role of animated layers in the context of adding, enhancing and altering the recorded live action footage for the emerging documentary. Thirdly, by proposing a taxonomy for the animated strategies used.

    We present a review of technologies designed to support writing instruction in higher and secondary education that was carried out by an international team of researchers within the European Literacy Network (funded by COST Action IS1401; www.is1401eln.eu/en/working-groups/working-group-3/). The review covers tools to support both native and non-native writers and focuses primarily on instructional affordances, thus broadening the scope of previous research in this field that was organised according to technological specifications. In this vein, Allen, Jacovina, and McNamara (2015) proposed a distinction between Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE), Essay Scoring (ES) and Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). Our review shows that, with technology enhanced learning becoming more ubiquitous and widespread, new technologies and tools catering to a broader range of pedagogical settings and approaches are emerging. Method Data collection was done through an extensive literature and database search in six European languages and an online survey sent out to the expert community via mailing lists. Of the 89 tools that were collected in this way, we retained 44 tools for further analysis, after applying exclusion criteria (e.g., appropriate target group, emphasis on writing activities). For a comprehensive and systematic overview, a coding framework consisting of 40 qualitative and quantitative descriptors was developed. Next to general information about e.g. supported languages and technological specifications, the descriptors cover features related to writing processes, pedagogical approaches, feedback modalities and interaction support. Results In this presentation, we will briefly outline the major results of our analysis. Next to expanding the existing classification by adding other forms of learning technology, e.g., interactive tutorials, the results uncover an imbalance. While automated support for revision on the micro-level targeting factual knowledge is well represented, tools that support the development ...

    This presentation reports on the creation of a bilingual academic phrasebook (or two corresponding phrasebooks in English and German), which is based on two corpora of 20,000 English and 16,000 German documents, as a work in progress. Built on the Manchester Phrasebank methodology, the present project focuses on collecting phrases and examining connections between the two languages. What we refer to as a phrasebook is a collection of expressions used to perform the most important speech acts in academic papers. As an inventory of frequently used expressions in research articles and theses, the collection is a representation of the functional aspects of academic language and, as such, may be viewed as a rhetoric for academic texts. In the presentation, we describe how phrases are selected and organized along the IMRD sequence in order to correspond with the composition process. We also outline a theoretical framework grounded in genre theory, rhetoric and linguistics to provide the basis for the phrasebook’s planned pedagogical uses, as well as lay some foundations for this branch of research. In addition, we demonstrate how the phrases may be used to support authors in a digital learning environment called Thesis Writer, in which the phrases are available to writers when their papers demand certain speech acts. The most important part of our presentation will be a reflection on the parallelism of German and English expressions, with a brief overview of some of the similarities and differences in frequencies found when comparing the two languages. While the phrasebook is a key component in the structure of Thesis Writer, our intention is to make it available as a separate digital tool to be used independently. Concluding, we summarize our experience thus far with the uses and limitations of academic phrases in the teaching of academic writing, both in L1 and L2.

    The implementation of internationalisation strategies by higher education policymakers has led to a steady increase in English-taught programmes (Wächter & Maiworm 2014). The recognition of English as an economic (Ehrenreich 2010) and academic (Ljosland 2011) lingua franca also applies to Engineering, where the proficient use of English is highly valued (Minsch et al. 2017), and practical skills, such as the writing of technical reports, are expected outcomes from engineering students' university level education (Karras et al., 2015: 8-13). In spite of its importance, the placement testing of writing skills, regrettably, tends to be avoided on the grounds that it is too time-consuming. This is especially true when large numbers of new students are involved. However, advancements in computerized text analysis in the form of Automated Essay Scoring (AES) show great promise in responding to this need. This paper describes the design, results and further development of an AES tool and CEFR-level prediction algorithm that was created and experimentally implemented at a major University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland as part of an online English placement test for first-year engineering students. In line with current research in AES, the algorithm was developed employing a prediction-accuracy pseudo-black box approach (see Vanhove et al. 2019, Yannakoudakis 2013) using a small training corpus of texts with known CEFR levels (N=50). The tool's advantages will also be discussed. Written and run entirely in an R environment (R Core Team 2017, version 3.4.3) using the koRpus package (Michalke 2017) as the tool's workhorse, the user has complete control over the tool's implementation, and can integrate it with other advanced text analyses possible in R (e.g., text mining, word embedding). The algorithm requires a minimum of resources, is simple to use and is cost-effective. As the tool can handle bulk grading of large numbers of texts, it is ideal for placement testing. Further, the AES algorithm is efficient. In ...

    This paper presents a review of the technologies designed to support writing instruction in secondary and higher education. The review covers tools to support first and second language writers and focuses on instructional affordances based on their technological specifications. Previous studies in this field centred on Automated Writing Evaluation, Automated Essay Scoring and the rarer Intelligent Tutoring Systems, addressing mainly essay writing needs in US secondary school instruction. With technology-enhanced learning becoming more ubiquitous and widespread, new technologies and tools catering to a broader range of genres, pedagogical settings, and approaches are emerging. We present a systematic analysis of 44 tools across 26 quantitative and qualitative features related to writing processes, pedagogical approaches, feedback modalities and technological specifications. The results uncover an imbalance of available tools with regard to supported languages, genres, and pedagogical focus. While a considerable number of tools support argumentative essay writing in English, other academic writing genres (e.g., research articles) and other languages are under-represented. With regard to the pedagogical focus, automated support for revising on the micro-level targeting factual knowledge (e.g., grammar, spelling, word frequencies) is well represented, whereas tools that support the development of writing strategies and encourage self-monitoring to improve macrolevel text quality (e.g., argumentative structure, rhetorical moves) are infrequent. By mapping the state of the art and specifying direction for further research and development, this review is of interest to researchers, policymakers, tool developers, and practitioners of writing instruction in higher and secondary education institutions.

    Abstract: The largely unregulated early years of Canadian radio were vital to development of broadcasting policy. The Report of the Royal Commission on Radio Broadcasting in 1929 and American broadcasting both changed the direction of Canadian broadcasting, but were mitigated by the early, largely unregulated years. Broadcasters operated initially as small, independent, and local broadcasters, then, national networks developed in stages during the 1920s and 1930s. The late adoption of radio broadcasting policy to build a national network in Canada allowed other practices to take root in the wake of other examples, in particular, American commercial broadcasting. By 1929 when the Aird Report recommended a national network, the potential impact of the report was shaped by the path of early broadcasting and the shifts forced on Canada by American broadcasting and policy. Eventually Canada forged its own course that pulled in both directions, permitting both private commercial networks and publi

    Abstract: This article examines the privatization of telegraphy in the British Empire from the perspective of Gibraltar, an overseas territory in the Mediterranean. While the history of international telegraphy is typically written from a world-systems perspective, this article presents a key methodological critique of the use of collections spread across many institutions and colonies: archival satellites are not simply reducible to parts of a scattered whole, as archival collections are themselves curations of socially-positioned understandings of Empire. This is especially true of the "girdle round the world" that was British telegraphy. At a meta-historical level, individual archival collections of the global British telegraphy system can be read as histories of colonial administrators' geographically- and socially-situated perspectives on Empire - namely through what archives have, and have not, preserved. I demonstrate how the documents about telegraphy collected and maintained in the
