Teaching TW2 using a Data-Driven Learning (DDL) Approach

Curriculum/Syllabus Design Questions

How do we teach the characteristic patterns of research paper writing in 17 different specialist fields?

How do we empower students to be able to identify the characteristic patterns of language use in other text types after graduation?

e.g. email writing, memos, technical reports, proposals, ...

Adopt a Data-Driven Learning (DDL) Approach to technical writing using corpus tools

26

Teaching TW2 using a DDL Approach Definition

A focus on the exploitation of authentic materials

A focus on real, exploratory tasks and activities

A focus on learner-centered activities

A focus on the use and exploitation of tools

(Bernd Rüschoff, 2010)

Authentic materials (corpora): international journal research papers (IEEE, Elsevier, CELL, …)

Tasks/activities (focused on): audience, purpose, organization, flow, style, delivery

Tools: AntConc concordancer (Anthony, L.)

37

2. Getting Started with Text Analysis

It you want to learn to write in a specialist field, you need a large sample of texts that is representative of the target language (i.e., a corpus)

a large sample of (electronic) texts that is representative of the target language

You also need a tool to analyze your sample of texts (i.e., a corpus analysis tool or concordancer)

a software tool designed for text analysis

38

Task 2: Corpus Design

Step 1

Estimate the size of the complete set of top research journal papers

Step 2

Select a subset of journal papers that you expect will represent the complete range of biographies in your field.

Steps 3-5

Download (interesting) research papers from your field

Save as a PDF and TEXT file

Step 6

Save each biography as a TEXT file

39

Task 3: Obtaining a Corpus Analysis Tool (Concordancer)

Part 1

Download AntConc (ver. 3.3.5) from http://www.antlab.sci.waseda.ac.jp/software.html

Part 2

Launch AntConc and open your corpus of biographies into the software from the File menu.

Part 3-5

Check that the program has loaded the files correctly by viewing them with the AntConc File View tool.

(Common character encodings are Latin 1, UTF-8, and Shift-JIS)

40

Task 4: The Organization of Biographies

Part 1: Using the AntConc File View Tool, quickly scan through your corpus and note down the information given in the first lines of the biographies.

What do you notice?

Part 2: What information is usually given in the second lines of the biographies?

Is the second line giving more information about the topic in the first line, or is it describing something different?

Part 3: What other information is given in the biographies?

List the most common information that the authors describe.

Do the authors follow the journal guidelines?

41

Task 5: The Language of Biographies: Educational Background

Part 1: Based on your analysis in Task 4, what subjects and verbs do authors use when describing their educational background?

Part 2:

1. Using the AntConc Concordance Tool, search for the verbs you listed in Part 1.

Note that you can search for strings (word fragments) and do case-sensitive searches using the search options.

What is unusual about the results display?

2) Sort the results by selecting the following KWIC (key word in context) sort options:

Level 1: 0 (target word)

Level 2: 1R (one word to right)

Level 3: 2R (two words to right)

42

Task 6: The Language of Biographies: Current Position

Part 1: Based on your analysis in Task 4, …

What subject do authors usually use when introducing their working experience?

What verbs and verb tenses do authors use when describing their working experience?

Part 2:

1. Using the AntConc Concordance Tool, search for the subjects you listed in Part 1.

Note that you might want to use a case-sensitive search (e.g., to search for "He" instead of "he").

2) Sort the results using the same settings as in the previous task.

What patterns do you notice?

43

Task 7: The Language of Biographies: Research Interests

Part 1: Based on your analysis in Task 4, what subjects do authors usually use when introducing their research interests?

What expressions are used when introducing research interests?

Part 2: 1. Using the AntConc Concordance Tool, search for the expressions

you listed in Part 1. Note that you might want to use a case insensitive search.

Sort the results so that the subjects of the sentences are clearly visible.

(You may need to sort the results using words to the left as well as the right).

2) Were your observations about common subjects correct? What do the results suggest about the gender patterns of researchers in

your field?

3) What other patterns do you notice in the way authors explain their research interests?

44

Task 8: Writing a Biography

Part 1: List up your biographic information in note form. At this stage, you do not need to write in sentences.

Name

Educational background

Work experience

Research interests

Other information

Part 2: Using the information you wrote in part one, write a one-paragraph biography following the conventions of the IEEE.

Teaching mathematics students in TW: Formal vs. Informal Style (intuitive approach)

NARWA corpus showed apparently frequent use of informal expressions It is easy to verify that U and F satisfy the operator equation.

There you can see the precise conditions (algebraic relations between the coefficients of f(x) and g(x)) to get EQT and its infinitesimal generators.

Here, you note that the condition (%%%) above is satisfied.

In conclusion, on the one hand, these works tell us that we cannot only focus on the epidemic thresholds to estimate the corresponding incidences, but should be to make further isolated analysis.

We could see that our method improves the telegraph-diffusion method, which has many spots left

Anyway, we have that EQT is bounded ... Now, the equation.

Vague Language NARWA corpus

"easy" accounts for 0.46% of all adjectives (552 hits)

e.g. "An easy calculation shows ..."

e.g. "It is easy to check that ..."

e.g. "It is easy to deduce that ..."

total adjectives in corpus: 119,687

JEMT corpus

"easy" accounts for 0.04% of all adjectives (52 hits)

e.g. "It is not easy to simulate ratchetting accurately, since ..."

e.g. "These algorithms are easy to implement and are capable of ..."

e.g. "The easy way to explain this result is to ..."

total adjectives in corpus: 137,362

But, "you", "anyway", "see", "now", ... NOT deviant from the 'norm'

Phrasal verb usage NARWA corpus

19% of all verbs appear in phrasal verb patterns

e.g., given by, based on, follows from, given in, defined by, corresponding to, leads to

total verb types: 2,288; total verb tokens: 25,653

1,454 verbs types used in phrasal verb patterns

4,697 verb tokens used in phrasal verb patterns

JEMT corpus

16% of all verbs appear in phrasal verb patterns

e.g., shown in, based on, used in, given by, obtained from, obtained by, used for, associated with

total verb types: 6140; total verb tokens: 210,140

Informal connectives ("And," "But," "So") NARWA corpus

7.6% of connectives follow an informal style

"And" (162 => 1.6%)

"But" (197 => 1.9%)

"So" (405 => 4.0%)

total connectives: 10,020

JEMT corpus

2.4% of connectives follow an informal style

"And" (32 => 0.61%)

Teaching mathematics students in TW: Summary of mathematics writing

At the macro level, mathematics papers ...

can be divided into analytical (theoretical) and experimental studies

follow the introduction, methods, results, discussion (IMRD) model but only in a very general sense

rarely use IMRD section headings

At the micro level, mathematics papers ...

use many informal style features (as do some other science/engineering papers)

"easy", "you", "anyway", "now"

phrasal verbs

informal connectives ("and", "but", "so")

Technical Writing 2 (TW2)

Requests to teachers Teach to the goals of the course

Make sure students read and understand the course syllabus

Make sure students receive a textbook (collect student textbooks from the Teacher's Office in the 2nd week of class)

Make sure that students sign a permission agreement before you collect their report writing

Submit a copy of all students' final papers to the CELESE coordinator (Anthony)

ask students to submit .doc(x) or PDF files to Course N@vi

check the files with the Course N@vi Turnitin plagiarism detector

collect the student report files via Course N@vi

send to <[email protected]>:

the Course N@vi zip file of the student presentation files

the Course N@vi zip file password (in a separate email) 62
