To be fair, your progress depends on many things e.g. the time you put into daily, the effort you make to use the language outside the app, whether you also need to learn a different script, whether you have the full app for interactional learning etc.

Such fun to be recognized as leading Australian researcher in the field "general" 😅
Oddly appropriate for my research that sits (often uneasily) between linguistics, education, sociology, discourse studies, and more.

Teachers truly know students and how they learn. Does AI? Teachers and AI: Can AI truly address all of the considerations essential to the inherently human and relational nature of teaching?

Not trusting GenAI blindly is even more important when it comes to teaching linguistically and culturally diverse classes. #Langsky

Harleen had to sit tests 'on repeat' to study in Australia. It's about to get harder Under the federal government's migration review unveiled this week, minimum English language requirements for students and graduate visas will be increased from next year.

Language is more than a proficiency test score. Meaningful change in the #highereducation experience of #internationalstudents should involve institutional language support & building skills and paths to employment. In SBSNews re changes to Aus migration strategy
