Education Management Experience and Projects

1. Curriculum Design and Development Projects 2015-pres I manage a team of 40 Educational Designers and media technologist responsible for rolling out university wide e-learning technologies, learning and teaching policies and course design frameworks across 10 campuses for predominantly on-line and distance education learning. Overseeing a university-wide course design process and software tool, CourseSpace, which is changing the culture of learning and teaching at the University.

2008-2012 I managed a four-year project of curriculum reform at the Defence Force School of Languages consisting of an organisation restructure of 85 teaching professional and support staff and a redesign and redevelopment of the suite of offerings in a configuration that would be within the framework of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF). The redesign required primary research on the genres used in the defence workplace as part of the needs analysis process. The project has involved identifying, mapping and analysing the features of the following Defence genres: Operational Directive, Situational Report, Commander’s Intent, Commander’s Guidance, Warning Order, Mission Analysis and Debriefs. This research informed the design process for the new competency-based, criterion-referenced, language for specific purpose courses in the Australian Defence Force that span tactical, operational, strategic and diplomatic contexts.

2. Computer aided language learning (CALL) software development Throughout my language teaching career I have managed, designed, developed and piloted computer aided language learning packages, using my linguistic, pedagogical and curriculum skills and knowledge to advantage in the creation of each package. The packages are as follows: 2011-2012

7 July, 2016 5

Acted as Subject Matter Expert (curriculum content and linguistics advice) on the Alelo TI Simulator- Tetum prototype project, providing scenarios, curriculum and assessment frameworks based on the ADF Adaptive Campaigning approach to modern warfare. Recent output:

(2012) Integration of Social Simulations into a Task-based Blended Training Curriculum, Land Warfare Conference Proceedings, Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) 29 Oct-2 Nov, 2012, Melbourne, Australia.

1995-2000 Originator, Project Coordinator and content SME on the University of Wollongong CALL project, Academic Writing: a language-based approach, An interactive CD-ROM to teach academic writing, published in Mac and PC versions by Gonichi Language Services, Wollongong, Australia ISBN 0-646-39545-9. The package was developed using Macromedia and was partially funded by an Apple University Development Grant. Outputs include:

1. The package was awarded the 2001 winner of the Tertiary Technology Showcase Category in the Australian Awards for Excellence in Educational Publishing,

Academic Writing uses the power of technology to help students master and succeed in writing at university. The key feature of the CD-ROM is the way that students can access and analyse existing writing work samples to learn new skills” (Australian Awards for Excellence in Educational Publishing 2001).

2. The CD-ROM was written up in the Autumn 2001 issue of Wheels of the Mind p.11 http://auc.uow.edu.au/Wheels+for+the+Mind and was peer reviewed as follows,

This package is a rare combination of sound language theory, intelligent instructional design and elegant navigational devices. From past experience with EAP students, I have no doubt of its value in providing a wealth of examples of academic writing and a variety of ways of examining and interacting with them. In my current teaching I can see a number of applications with first year undergraduate education students in raising their awareness of the features of academic writing and in developing some understanding of genre. It would also provide excellent additional practice for student teachers taking a subject that introduces them to the concepts of functional grammar. In short, this team has produced a rich resource that meets a number of needs for support and practice in the study of language as well as in academic writing. (was reviewed by Dr. Margaret Allan, Snr. Lecturer in language Education, James Cook University in Australian Language Matters, 2000, p. 17).

3. The CD-ROM contributed to my 2003 Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to Teaching and Learning (Arts).

4. Research Projects I have managed numerous team-based research projects consisting of colleagues, specialists, technicians, research assistants and postgraduate students in the disciplines of descriptive and applied linguistics such as in language education, including Computer Aided Language Learning (CALL); curriculum and community, including academic English, language course curricula and assessment; media discourse and environmental discourse. Examples include

I. The News Project

The News Project was an initiative to enable multilingual research on media discourse. This project consisted of 11 researchers across Australia and overseas, aiming to investigate the ideologies behind 'reporter' voice in news articles in varieties of English, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Swedish, Vietnamese and Greek. Linguistic analyses of journalistic discourse using the Systemic Functional (SF) model of language was primarily undertaken on English language media discourse only. No analysis of LOTE media discourse had been undertaken. The News Project addressed this research gap. Outcomes of the News Project include:

1. E.A. Thomson and P.R.R. White (eds.) (2008), Communicating Conflict, Continuum, London; 2. E.A. Thomson, P.R.R. White and P. Kitley (2008) “Objectivity” and the “hard news” report

7. An introductory workshop on linguistic methods of enquiry into journalistic discourse and three follow workshops with team members as their individual projects progress. Funding (totally $3,200) was sought and received for the workshops which were held in 2004, 2005 and 2006;

II. The Attitudes Project

This project aimed to investigate the correlation between attitudes, social practices and behaviour. It investigated how our construal of the world in language offers an insight into how we relate to and impact the world and our environment. Outcomes of the Attitudes Project include:

1. Tran, T.H.V. & Thomson, E.A. (in progress) ‘The politics of blame: a linguistic study of stakeholder discourse patterns in the postgraduate quality debate in Vietnam’.

attitudes towards the quality of postgraduate education in Vietnam – completed 2011.

III. Mapping the Genres of Japanese Project:

This project aims to map the genres of Japanese, particularly those in the workplace and those found in the education system. Essentially, it is a new field of inquiry which brings Systemic Functional Linguistics to bear on Japanese language. The Mapping Genres project seeks to identify, describe and provide reference material for teachers of Japanese as a Second/Foreign Language in order to better tailor curricula to the vocational needs of students. This project brings together researchers and postgraduate students in Australia and Japan who have a common interest in mapping genres in Japanese. Outcomes of the Mapping Genres Project so far include:
