Matthews, Blair – Research-publishing.net, 2019
Language classrooms are complex systems, but theory often simplifies these processes making researching effectiveness difficult. Assemblage theory -- a theory of complexity in the social sciences -- allows us to examine complexity in the language classroom. In this paper, I present an account of the language classroom that captures the complexity,…

Zadorozhnyy, Artem; Yu, Baohua – Research-publishing.net, 2021
An extensive number of studies acknowledge the transformed nature of literacies by building on the complexity of multimodal semiotic repertoires and available digital resources (Reinhardt & Thorne, 2019; Toffoli, 2020). The exposure to such resources and tools makes digital literacies dynamic as environments provide students with opportunities…

Kliesch, Maria; Pfenninger, Simone E. – Modern Language Journal, 2021
The question of cognition in second language (L2) acquisition later in life is of importance inasmuch as L2 learning is largely mediated by domain-general cognitive capacities. While a number of these capacities have been shown to decline with age, individual differences in cognition increase over the lifespan. This microdevelopment study…

Yong, Lou – International Education Studies, 2020
Embedded system is an interdisciplinary, profound foundation and practice-oriented course; at present, in the traditional teaching mode, embedded systems in colleges and universities generally have problems such as disconnected theory and practice, outdated assessment methods, and low enthusiasm of students. Arming to cultivate compound embedded…

Marek, Michael W. – Online Submission, 2014
There is much research in the scholarly literature about using technology to support language learning, and particularly English as a Foreign Language, but the technology is rarely integrated into the curriculum, largely because the research is the product of the pressure on faculty to publish. The author explores curriculum integration, based on…

Marek, Michael W.; Wu, Wen-Chi Vivian – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2014
This conceptual, interdisciplinary inquiry explores Complex Dynamic Systems as the concept relates to the internal and external environmental factors affecting computer assisted language learning (CALL). Based on the results obtained by de Rosnay ["World Futures: The Journal of General Evolution", 67(4/5), 304-315 (2011)], who observed…

Looi, Chee-Kit; So, Hyo-Jeong; Toh, Yancy; Chen, Wenli – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2011
In recent years there has been a proliferation of research findings on CSCL at the micro and macro levels, but few compelling examples of how CSCL research has impacted actual classroom practices at the meso-level have emerged. This paper critically examines the impact of adopting a systemic approach to innovative education reforms at the macro,…

Laverty, David M.; Milliken, Jonny; Milford, Matthew; Cregan, Michael – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2012
This paper presents a new laboratory-based module for embedded systems teaching, which addresses the current lack of consideration for the link between hardware development, software implementation, course content and student evaluation in a laboratory environment. The course introduces second year undergraduate students to the interface between…

Anthony, Anika Ball – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2012
Technology implementation research indicates that teachers' beliefs and knowledge, as well as a host of institutional factors, can influence technology integration. Drawing on third-generation activity theory, this article conceptualizes technology implementation as a network of planning and integration activities carried out by technology…

Heift, Trude – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2008
This article describes challenges and benefits of modeling learner variability in Computer-Assisted Language Learning. We discuss the learner model of "E-Tutor," a learner model that addresses learner variability by focusing on certain aspects and/or features of the learner's interlanguage. Moreover, we introduce the concept of phrase descriptors,…

Charp, Sylvia; And Others – 1971
The systems approach involves defining the system, analyzing the context setting criteria, designing and choosing alternatives using prediction models. The approach can be applied to training (a conceptual model is presented) but further research is needed to develop predictive models. Instructional technology is becoming a reality in the forms of…
