This summer semester I'm very excited to teach a brand-new seminar on "Open Science practices in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition" @UniKoeln! ☀️

Some 20 B.A. and M.A. students studying #linguistics or a Romance language (+ one post-doc) signed up for this rather experimental course, many of whom had never heard of #OpenScience before. For this course, I've ditched the University's learning management system (ILIAS) and opted for a maximally open way to share teaching materials as I go along: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/os-linguistics2025/.

Students are also required to attend at least two #ReproducibiliTea in the #HumaniTeas session and to co-author a blog post about one session. Very curious to see how things will pan out! 🤓

The first couple of blog posts by my students about #ReproducibiliTea in the Humaniteas are now online!

Julia reported on the Library Night with the motto "Gaming", as part of which we played a collaborative discussion game on tackling research-related ethical dilemma and Kathrin reported (in German) about Martine Grice's session on diamond #OpenAcces publishing: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/os-linguistics2025/posts.html. #OpenScience

How had I not seen this before??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx71U3u--qU. Pure #academic comedy gold!

And, in case you were wondering, watching this in my working hours is totally justified: I am prepping the #OpenAccess session of my #OpenScience for #linguistics seminar. 😇

In my #OpenScience for #linguistics class today, we spoke about #AcademicPublishing. I got the conversation started with one of Dr. Glaucomflecken's fabulous sketches (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukAkG6c_N4M) and the students had prepared for the session by reading or watching one of the following: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/os-linguistics2025/prep4.html.

They found many aspects of the system shocking and several mentioned that they wished they had learnt about these things earlier. I was astonished at how often I ended up answering their "why" questions with the word "prestige" - just like in the comedy sketch that we watched at the beginning!

The final group task proved to be quite challenging, but I think it was a valuable exercise that I would certainly do again: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/os-linguistics2025/task2.html.
