Danielle S. McNamara; Laura K. Allen; Scott A. Crossley; Mihai Dascalu; Cecile A. Perret – Grantee Submission, 2017
Language is of central importance to the field of education because it is a conduit for communicating and understanding information. Therefore, researchers in the field of learning analytics can benefit from methods developed to analyze language both accurately and efficiently. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques can provide such an…

Li Qian; Sarimah Shamsudin – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2023
The pervasive use of information and computer technology in second or foreign language learning has led researchers to explore the ideal tasks for technological environments to facilitate second language (L2) learning. This study intended to contribute new knowledge to this area by examining the effects of the task complexity manipulated along the…

Hafour, Marwa F.; Al-Rashidy, Al-Shaimaa M. – JALT CALL Journal, 2020
This study examined the impact of storyboarding-based collaborative narrative writing using Google Docs on EFL learners' writing fluency, syntactic complexity, and overall performance. For this purpose, a cohort of 30 EFL college learners was selected and exposed to a nine-week intervention where they collaboratively wrote storyboarding-based…

Park, Youngmin; Oh, Rosa – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2018
Improving reading fluency in English is a challenging task for English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) students. It is particularly hard for those whose first languages are linguistically distant from English, for example, Korea, Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian languages. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether digitally reformatted…

Crossley, Scott; Barnes, Tiffany; Lynch, Collin; McNamara, Danielle S. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
This study takes a novel approach toward understanding success in a math course by examining the linguistic features and affect of students' language production within a blended (with both on-line and traditional face to face instruction) undergraduate course (n=158) on discrete mathematics. Three linear effects models were compared: (a) a…

Tsesmeli, Styliani N.; Tsirozi, Theologia – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2015
The case-study aims to examine the effectiveness of training of morphological structure on the spelling of compounds by a spelling-disabled primary school student. The experimental design of the intervention was based on the word-pair paradigm and included a pre-test, a training program and a post-test (n = 50 pairs). The Training Program aimed to…

Morgado, Leonel; Cruz, Maria; Kahn, Ken – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2010
A common problem in computer programming use for education in general, not simply as a technical skill, is that children and teachers find themselves constrained by what is possible through limited expertise in computer programming techniques. This is particularly noticeable at the preliterate level, where constructs tend to be limited to…

Petersen, Kenneth A. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Interaction research on recasts has been largely confined to examining the effects of recasts delivered in an oral, face-to-face modality. The challenge of creating task conditions in a written interactive mode, in which the dynamism and immediacy of recasts can be brought to bear on L2 development, has been a formidable obstacle to advancing the…

Chen, Jui-Fa; Lin, Wei-Chuan; Jian, Chih-Yu; Hung, Ching-Chung – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2008
Considering the popularity of the Internet, an automatic interactive feedback system for Elearning websites is becoming increasingly desirable. However, computers still have problems understanding natural languages, especially the Chinese language, firstly because the Chinese language has no space to segment lexical entries (its segmentation…

Ditcharoen, Nadh; Naruedomkul, Kanlaya; Cercone, Nick – Computers & Education, 2010
Learning a second language is very difficult, especially, for the disabled; the disability may be a barrier to learn and to utilize information written in text form. We present the SignMT, Thai sign to Thai machine translation system, which is able to translate from Thai sign language into Thai text. In the translation process, SignMT takes into…

Ahmad, K.; And Others – Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing Bulletin, 1978
Some of the problems facing undergraduates learning Russian can be dealt with effectively by using an online computer. A Russian numerals drill program (RUNEX) is described which aims to help the student in tackling the morphological arbitrariness and some aspects of the syntax of the Russian numerals. Paradigms are given for the numerals five,…

Chiu, Chi-Yen; Savignon, Sandra J. – CALICO Journal, 2006
This paper reports the findings of a case study that explores the relationship between feedback and revision in the online teaching of two EFL adult writers. The model of feedback adopted was one of content-based feedback followed by form-focused feedback in a series of multidraft compositions. A quantitative analysis of minimal terminal units…

Ornan, Uzzi – Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing Bulletin, 1978
The ability of the computer to generate output not included in the input may be used for linguistic as well as for computational input. The ability to accept linguistic data and process it according to a certain program seems to be a promising field for investigation. Progress in this field may strengthen the assumption that the computer can be…
