This article explains each of these principles in detail.

The Language Learning Journal, Mar 2014
The relationship between language pedagogy and the content and language integrated learning (CLIL... more The relationship between language pedagogy and the content and language integrated learning (CLIL) classroom is a key issue for research into CLIL. In the Netherlands, as in other European contexts, non-native speakers of a target language with a non-language teaching background teach CLIL content lessons. Whilst CLIL teachers teaching their subject through the L2 are expected to support language learning in their lessons, little is known about these teachers' knowledge of language pedagogy. This article reports on a small-scale research project in a Dutch CLIL context, which explores experienced CLIL subject teachers' practical knowledge base regarding the actions and activities for language learning in their lessons. The study draws on recent educational research which focuses on teacher knowledge of the learning processes in their classrooms. It takes Long's (2009) methodological principles (MPs) for effective language teaching as the point of reference for describing the teachers' knowledge about pedagogy supporting language learning in their CLIL lessons.

The second section looks at vocabulary in CLIL in detail. A third section of this article discusses a model for thinking about language demands in contrast to cognitive demands, and which can be used to evaluate the demands of a particular text used as lesson input.

Schizoanalysis by Jason Skeet
This article argues for the importance of Gilles Deleuze's work for contemporary literary studies... more This article argues for the importance of Gilles Deleuze's work for contemporary literary studies, and specifically for poetics, an application of Deleuze's philosophy that has yet to be adequately explored. Deleuze's own method of reading is examined for its engagement with the problem of reading, an engagement that made possible what Deleuze terms, in his collaborative work with Félix Guattari, schizoanalysis. Schizoanalysis is synonymous, this essay argues, with what can be thought of as Deleuzian poetics. Schizoanalysis is examined in detail and three central schizoanalytic questions are identified: these questions provide a stimulus and guide to staging encounters between Deleuze's work and contemporary poetry. Finally, comments on Deleuze and Guattari's brief reading of Allen Ginsberg's poem 'Kaddish' are offered as a demonstration of a schizoanalytic reading, that is, of a Deleuzian poetics.

Deleuze Studies, Nov 2013

An exploration of its innovative verbal and syntactic procedures can add to an understanding of Woolf's importance for the philosophical thought of Gilles Deleuze (and his sometime collaborator Félix Guattari). In A Thousand Plateaus, The Waves is used to exemplify an ontology of becoming. However, in their reference to The Waves, Deleuze and Guattari only draw attention to what they term the ‘vibrations, shifting borderlines’ between and across characters in the novel. Given Deleuze's considerations of style, it is perhaps surprising that he never took up this idea in terms of how these movements also take place at the level of language in the novel, as the explorations in this essay of four different linguistic procedures from The Waves show. When Woolf completed writing The Waves, she wrote in her diary that she had ‘netted that fin in the waste of water’. By investigating the multiple, and often discordant, associations of this image of netting a fin, various connections between Woolf's linguistic procedures and Deleuze's philosophy can be configured, particularly in terms of the approach to language put forward in A Thousand Plateaus. Reading Woolf alongside Deleuze in this way reveals how ontology becomes intimately bound up with a problem of language.

An inhuman time, accessed through the technology of film and, specifically, post-Second World War cinematic expression – a cinema that was, according to Deleuze, symptomatic of a paradigm shift in Western culture. So it is that Virginia Woolf's 1926 essay The Cinema was a portent of the cultural developments that Deleuze was later to explore. This connection – Woolf plus Deleuze – also raises the question as to why does a philosopher who is always allotted a place in the canon of post-structuralism make frequent selections from Modernism to illustrate his ideas? In what follows, and by way of responding to this question, I shall link Deleuze's concept of the outside to what is, I argue, a consonance between Woolf's and Deleuze's ideas on cinema. A cluster of Deleuzian ideas related to his cinema work – the brain as a screen or interval, the time-image and becoming – will be discussed alongside a reading of Woolf's novel The Waves, showing how this work built on Woolf's own uses of cinema and how Deleuze's use of cinema may be transposed to the study of a text. I will suggest that what is at stake in this attraction between Woolf and Deleuze via the cinema – and by extension, the philosopher's references to other writers – is an engagement with two other questions: what is experimental and what is vitalism?
