Many people often struggle to master the pronunciation of foreign languages without much success. One of the reasons why L2 learners are not successful is because teaching pronunciation in the classroom is usually marginalized. With the advent of computers, this problem may partially have been overcome, due to the fact that many different types of systems and software for autonomous learning ha...

While Learners enjoy the sense of presence and rich visualization in 3D Immersive Virtual Learning Environments, they require more interactivity and pedagogical guidance. Intelligent Pedagogical Agents, IPAs, which are autonomous and intelligent software entities can provide such demands if they are employed in the VLE. They provide interactivity (dialogues), increase motivation and engagement,...

Portable multimedia devices shape the intensity of intercultural contacts not only through content consumption but also through content creation. Enabling learners to participate in content exchange via the Web 2.0 paradigm (audiences as both media consumers and media creators) can be employed to create new forms of acquiring knowledge. This study demonstrates an application of m-learning in a ...

Using Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) to develop learner autonomy is a challenging task in the context of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). A new, double channel model for developing learner autonomy is proposed. This provides the basis for an experimental study, which investigates the impact of an autonomous learning platform (ALP). Both self-directed learning and social...

Autonomous is the individual capacity to take responsibility for their own learning activities. adapted method that learners use obtain needs and goals, determine most current method, assess activity. This research aims at identifying students’ autonomous strategies in academic speaking class. There were 20 students from English Education Department involved gather data. study employed a quanti...

This study set out to examine the effect of explicit consciousness-raising of autonomous learning activities on a group of students’ General English achievement test scores following a mixed methods design. At the beginning of the study, four intact classes were selected based on their availability, of which one class was assigned to the experimental group and the others to the control groups, ...

In this paper, questionnaires regarding the influence of learners’ autonomous learning ability on performance in online were designed, and mediating role played by deep orientation effect was analyzed. The results revealed that overall Cronbach’s α coefficient questionnaire 0.884, KMO value 0.817, corresponding P 0.000, manifesting good reliability validity questionnaire. could be obviously inf...
