      Editor(s): Edwardes, M.
      Summary: Evaluation in student assignments is compared across the disciplinary groups of Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, Life Sciences, and Physical Science through a genre analysis of the BAWE1 corpus as texts, a multidimensional register analysis of the corpus as text and a frequency analysis of specific amplifiers and attributive adjectives.

      Editor(s): Edwardes, M.
      Summary: This paper questions why research in applied linguistics appears to have substantially failed to influence the growth of state policies for early language learning (ELL) across Europe. It is proposed that a bottom-up process of societal pressure has found a willing partner in a top-down initiative to implement ELL.

      Editor(s): Edwardes, M.
      Summary: A model of intercultural awareness (ICA) is presented based on an empirical study of English language users in Thailand and on theoretical foundations which view the relationship between cultures and languages as liminal, and emergent in intercultural communication. The model attempts to illustrate the relationships between different elements of ICA.
