Using AI is bad scholarship; passing it off as your own work is academic misconduct.

Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia
βOur duty as educators is the cultivation of critical thinking and intellectual honesty, and it is not our role either to police or promote cheating, nor to normalise our students' and mentees' avoidance of deep thought.β

So wichtig darauf hinzuweisen, dass fΓΌr die Anwendung einer Fremdsprache die Kenntnis von Lexis und Syntax nicht ausreicht, sondern die Kompetenz, in welchen kommunikativen Situationen z.Bsp. bestimmte WΓΆrter oder grammatikalische Varianten angewandt werden, essentiell ist #Pragmatik #pragmatics π

As a learner of Italian as Lx, I really struggle with grasping sentences e.g. i figlii - not knowing whether it is just the sons or sons AND daughters. The one that still baffles me the most: the eradication of la nonna in i nonni.
I would definitely appreciate the schwa in learning contexts!

Just today I accidentally opened a folder full with material I used for a presentation but never turned to a paper. Data is from 11 years ago, so no point in thinking of publishing it. I was a bit sad about it today because it was good work but well, that's life π€·ββοΈ

Der franzΓΆsische Teil ist landschaftlich sehr schΓΆn und der deutsche Teil mit dem hΓΆchsten Berg Belgiens ist ebenfalls eine Reise wert. Wenn man historisch interessiert ist (1.WK), dann ist Ypern zu empfehlen. Dass man mit der StraΓenbahn die ganze KΓΌste abfahren kann, ist echt auch ein Erlebnis!

Kann hier meine derzeitige Fremdsprachenerwerbserfahrung einbringen. Das generische Maskulinum erschwert das Erfassen des Sinns nicht unwesentlich (sind jetzt SΓΆhne oder alle Kinder/ GroΓvΓ€ter oder die GroΓeltern gemeint?) Gendern kein Problem beim Erwerb, sondern vereinfacht fΓΌr mich Sinnerfassung
