task-based language teaching in iran: a mixed study through constructing and validating a new questionnaire based on theoretical, sociocultural, and educational frameworks

جنبه های گوناگونی از زندگی در ایران را از جمله سبک زندگی، علم و امکانات فنی و تکنولوژیکی می توان کم یا بیش وارداتی در نظر گرفت. زبان انگلیسی و روش تدریس آن نیز از این قاعده مثتسنی نیست. با این حال گاهی سوال پیش می آید که آیا یک روش خاص با زیر ساخت های نظری، فرهنگی اجتماعی و آموزشی جامعه ایرانی سازگاری دارد یا خیر. این تحقیق بر اساس روش های ترکیبی انجام شده است.پرسش نامه ای نیز برای زبان آموزان ...

Applying mean shift and motion detection approaches to hand tracking in sign language

Hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. In this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. This method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. The mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. Several...

A Review of Theoretical Frameworks and Approaches

Theoretical Approaches to IS Research

Theory is generally considered to be the bedrock of academic research. It is the foundation upon which scientific research is organized and built. In particular, IS research draws heavily on theory from a variety of disciplines—over 85 theories have been widely used in IS research.1 IS research has developed or appropriated theories to examine central disciplinary themes such as IS development,...

Earlier Garvin had already divided universals into absolute and potential ones, the former uncontested cornerstones of linguistic theory, the latter commonly accepted generalizations among experienced professionals. The 'universals' to be discussed here are of the latter type: tried and tested p...
