With the advent of the big data age, more and more resources about foreign language learning are put on the Web and open to the public, which brings trouble on the foreign language learners in acquiring these unfamiliar learning resources effectively and efficiently. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a method of organizing the learning resources in the form of knowledge flow network and...

In advanced industrial applications, computational visual attention models (CVAMs) could predict very similarly to actual human allocation. This has been used as a important component of technology in driver assistance systems (ADAS). Given that the biological inspiration driving-related CVAMs be obtained from skilled drivers complex driving conditions, which driver’s is constantly directed at ...

Opportunities for incidental vocabulary acquisition were explored in a 121,000-word corpus of teacher talk addressed to advanced adult learners of English as a second language (ESL) in a communicatively-oriented conversation class. In contrast to previous studies that relied on short excerpts, the corpus contained all of the teacher speech the learners were exposed to during a 9-week session. L...

The current study was an attempt to investigate the effect of performing Focus on Form (FoF), Focus on Meaning (FoM), and Focus on Forms (FoFs) instructions on the development of collocational knowledge among Iranian intermediate EFL learners, and to explore any significant difference on the achievement of the participants' collocational knowledge among three groups. In so doing, 107 female int...

Virtual learning communities encourage members to learn and contribute knowledge. However, knowledge sharing requires mutual-trust collaboration between learners and the contribution of quality knowledge. This task cannot be accomplished by simply storing learning content in repositories. It requires a mechanism to help learners find relevant learning content as well as knowledgeable collaborat...

Computation is an increasing for doing scientific research. It is expec engineers will need to engage and unders in order to work effectively with comput technologies, and methodologies. Towar leverage our previous work with SugarA learners to test their knowledge of applying engineering concepts. Applied c designing multidisciplinary systems inclu mechanical, fluidic, and thermal compo this me...

This paper describes a computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) in a ubiquitous computing environment. In the environment called CLUE, the learners provide and share individual knowledge and discuss about them. This paper focuses on knowledge awareness map and its design, implementation and evaluation. The map visualizes the relationship between the shared knowledge and the current and ...

This study tested the impact of implicit and explicit knowledge of grammar on learners’ use of oral communication strategies (OCSs) and the interface of OCSs and oral fluency. The study was performed on 24 male and 36 female Iranian university students of English Translation studying at Payame Nour Universities of Lar, Khonj, and Evaz chosen based on availability and ease of access. The data we...

This paper describes a computer supported ubiquitous learning (CSUL), called CLUE, the learners provide their own knowledge about the language learning in their everyday life, share them in the community and discuss about them. This paper focuses on knowledge awareness map and its design, implementation and evaluation. The map visualizes the relationship between the shared knowledge and the cur...

This paper introduces a domain-independent open learner model with multiple simple views on individual learner model data. Learners can also compare their knowledge level to their peer group, and to instructor expectations for different stages of their course. The aim is to help learners identify their knowledge, difficulties and misconceptions; prompt reflection on their knowledge and learning...
