Reference excerpt

Neomy Storch (born 1954) is an Australian linguist. She is currently an associate professor of applied linguistics at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Her research focuses on second language acquisition with a special focus on second language writing. She is noted for her work on second language acquisition, collaborative writing, and academic writing.

Career Storch obtained her Bachelor of Economics degree at the Monash University in 1976. In 1995 she obtained her Master of Arts degree and in 2001 a PhD at the University of Melbourne. Since 2010, she has been a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Second Language Writing. In 2023 and 2024, Dr. Storch was the most cited Australian researcher in the field of Foreign Language Learning Storch retired from full-time teaching at the end of 2023, but continues to work at the University of Melbourne as an honorary fellow, working as a PhD supervisor for several candidates.

Publications Storch's work has been published in the Journal of Second Language Writing, Language Learning, TESOL Quarterly, Language Teaching Research, Language Testing, System and Studies in Second Language Acquisition. In 2013 her first book, entitled Collaborative Writing in L2 Classrooms on collaborative writing was published by Multilingual Matters.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Neomy Storch

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Neomy Storch claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Neomy Storch before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Neomy Storch ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Neomy Storch

In research: Neomy Storch appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Neomy Storch in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Neomy Storch is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1950 births, Applied linguists, Australian women linguists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Neomy Storch outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
