Introduction to the Linking Second Languages Research and Practice Series
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Linking Second Languages Research and Practice is a joint project between the Canadian Association of Second Language Teachers and the Canadian Modern Language Review. As part of a continued effort to offer pedagogical support, this project was developed in view of making L2 research more accessible and relevant to language educators. The series features six CMLR articles on classroom pedagogy (4 FSL and 2 ESL) and six corresponding Teachers Guides, developed by Dr Callie Mady of Nipissing University. The Guides help educators put into practice some of the research findings published in the Canadian Modern Languages Review. These guides aim to promote reflection on teaching by providing a summary of each article in an interview format with the researcher(s), offering suggestions for practical implications gleaned from each article, giving thought-provoking after-reading questions, and suggesting other articles for further reading. The articles and videos appear in the language they were released.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
