An extract from this morning’s conversation is here: CEMP conversation Tom Stacey
Tom Stacey shared an article about second language acquisition and related this to his own PHD research into coding as language acquisition.
He also talked about the practice-based element of his research, of which this robot is an example. 
Next week – on Friday 5th July, at 11.30 – 12.30, in the CEMP office, our final CEMP conversation of the academic year will take place.
We’ll be discussing two related items:
(1) Marketa Zezulkova’s book chapter on a holistic approach to media literacy education: Marketa Book Chapter
(2) Richard Wallis’s recently published article, co-authored with David Buckingham, on the construction of media literacy within the policy context of the Communications Act: European Journal of Communication-2013-Wallis-0267323113483605
It should be a cracker, and,as always, all colleagues are very welcome to join us, in the current CEMP office, for the last time!
