Interests: linguistics; language acquisition (especially phonology and comprehension-based language learning); child development. Those were also my degrees. I've worked in the UK and Japan.

Currently a CZ administrator. I also help look after the social media accounts. I've been here since 2006 and have edited quite a bit.

-I am a linguist specialising in acquisition of second language [[phonology]] and [[comprehension approach|comprehension-based language learning]]. Following a BA in [[linguistics]] (Manchester) and an MA in [[language acquisition]] (Durham), I lectured part-time at the universities of York and Durham in the [[United Kingdom|UK]]. Currently I teach linguistics and [[English language|English]] at [[Mie University]] in [[Japan]].

+Currently a [[CZ:Bureaucrat|CZ administrator]]. I also help look after the social media accounts. I've been here since 2006 and have [[User:John_Stephenson/Contributions|edited]] quite a bit.
-==Constabulary==
-Since 1st August 2007 I have been a '[[CZ:Constabulary_Home|constable]]' on Citizendium - an administrator or 'sysop' who helps out in cases such as behavioural disputes, pages to be deleted, and applications to be approved. To get help with these sorts of problems it is best to email [mailto:constables@citizendium.org constables@citizendium.org] in the first instance, but where I am involved, feel free to [[:Special:Emailuser/John_Stephenson|contact me]]. I'm in Japan, so am more likely to be on-line between about 0200 and 0900 UTC (GMT), which is 2100-0400 EST.
-Note that constables who are also significant contributors to an article [[CZ:Policy_Outline#Checks_on_Constables|can't intervene in a dispute about it, nor adjudicate in any case where they are personally involved]], so for [[Special:Contributions/John_Stephenson|articles I've edited or discussed content]], another constable is necessary.
-===Getting around and maintaining Citizendium===
-I make use of the workgroup boxes (see below) to navigate around Citizendium, as well as the links in the left menu. I recommend the 'toolbox', particularly '[[:Special:Specialpages|Special Pages]]'. This brings you to a list of things in much need of maintenance, such as [[:Special:Deadendpages|dead-end]] and [[:Special:Uncategorizedpages|uncategorized pages]]. I've found that people creating inappropriate articles can get their work on the wiki for some time by not categorising articles so they don't show up in workgroup lists and other CZ groupings, such as '[[:Category:Internal_Articles|internal articles]]'.

I am mostly responsible for the original information on many of the [[:Category:Linguistics Workgroup|Linguistics Workgroup]] pages, and have also been trying to get linguists and departments to [[Linguistics/links|link to Linguistics]].
