Text clustering and topic learning are two closely related tasks. In this paper, we show that the topics can be learnt without the absolute need of an exact categorization. In particular, the experiments performed on two real case studies with a vocabulary based on bigram features lead to extracting readable topics that cover most of the documents. Precision at 10 is up to 74% for a dataset of ...

this study has examined the effect of semantic mapping on learning vocabulary across genders. the researchers selected 120 intermediate students after the administration of a standard proficiency test. a vocabulary test was also used to measure the students’ vocabulary knowledge. the experimental group received semantic mapping in the pre-reading stage, butthe control group did not receive this...

Vocabulary learning has been traditionally considered central to second language learning. It may take place either intentionally, by means of deliberate attempts commit factual information memory, or incidentally, as a consequence other cognitive processes involving comprehension. Video games, which have extensively employed in educational contexts understand lexical development foreign langua...
