I am a linguist specialising in acquisition of second language phonology and comprehension-based language learning. Following a BA in linguistics (Manchester) and an MA in language acquisition (Durham), I lectured part-time at the universities of York and Durham in the UK. Currently I teach linguistics and English at Mie University in Japan.

Citizendium contributions

My recent Citizendium edits - look here to see what I've been working on (or just see if I know what I'm talking about). I am mostly responsible for the original information on many of the Linguistics Workgroup pages, and have also been trying to get linguists and departments to link to Linguistics.
Linguistics articles I've created: the Syllable, Language acquisition, English language, the Comprehension approach (also created on Wikipedia), Sue Savage-Rumbaugh (sourced from Wikipedia, but much originally mine anyway), Contact language, Comparative linguistics, Japanese English (renamed and rewritten from the Wikipedia original), Romansh language, Grammar, Creolistics and Martha Young-Scholten (the last two not found elsewhere). I've also rewritten the Linguistics template and created one for language acquisition.
Other articles I've created: Grand Hotel (Scarborough) and Members' Lobby (both originally created on Wikipedia), Tony Blair, Yorkshire, Giant Panda, People's Republic of China, Penguin, Red Dwarf (science fiction series), Chip (food), Chris Higgins, Reaction of penguins to aircraft and Penguins in the northern hemisphere (the last four not on Wikipedia). I also wrote the first versions of Penguins in popular culture and Penguin (word), which were moved from the Penguin article.
Articles which I intend to make a significant contribution to include Linguistics, Language, Second language acquisition, Monitor Theory, the Critical Period Hypothesis, Applied linguistics, Phonology, Phonetics, Japanese language, Creole language and Singapore English. I rewrote the German language page, but don't intend to go back to it much.
I'm also responsible for importing the England, Scarborough, York, Craig Charles, Norman Lovett, Danny John-Jules, red dwarf (star), Stephen Krashen and Doctor Who articles (the latter divided into both new and 'classic').

Getting around and maintaining Citizendium

I make use of the workgroup boxes (see below) to navigate around Citizendium, as well as the links in the left menu. I recommend the 'toolbox', particularly 'Special Pages'. This brings you to a list of things in much need of maintenance, such as uncategorized pages. I've found that people creating inappropriate articles can get their work on the wiki for some time, by not categorising them so they doesn't show up in workgroup lists and other CZ groupings such as 'internal articles'.

Workgroups I've contributed to

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.
