 The tool presented in this work allows the teacher to create objective questions in order to get a formative evaluation having as its main goal to track the development of the student in the learning process. The aim of the tool is to create a dependence among test questions, building a tree of questions where the teacher can verify the “path” followed by the student during the test, getting ...

Feedback is powerful but variable. This study investigates which forms of feedback are more predictive improvement to students’ essays, using Turnitin Studio –a computer augmented system capture teacher and computer-generated comments. The used a sample 3,204 high school university students who submitted their received comments, then resubmitted for final grading. major finding was the importan...

this paper investigates learner-initiated responses to english language teachers’ referential questions and learner initiatives after teachers’ feedback moves in meaning-focused question-answer sequences to analyze how interactional practices of language teachers, their initiation and feedback moves, facilitate learner initiatives. classroom discourse research has largely neglected learner init...

This paper presents a survey of language teachers’ and their students’ attitudes and practice concerning the use of corrective feedback in pronunciation training. The aim of the study is to identify feedback strategies that can be used successfully in a computer assisted pronunciation training system with a virtual tutor giving articulatory instructions and feedback. The study was carried out u...

This research seeks to analyse and propose a solution to support classroom-based teaching in the Department of Chocó, Colombia, which is located in a rural area and has been the subject of many social projects for the development of its people. Due to the disparities in different regions of the country, the education sector is forced to look for new working environments that are suitable for ru...

Feedback connections are required so that the teacher signal on the output neurons can modify weights during supervised learning. Relaxation methods are needed for learning static patterns with full-time feedback connections. Feedback network learning techniques have not achieved wide popularity because of the still greater computational efficiency of back-propagation. We show by simulation tha...

We studied a group of immigrants who were following regular, teacher-fronted Dutch classes, and who were assigned to three groups using either a) DutchCAPT, a Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system with Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) that provides feedback on a number of Dutch speech sounds that are problematic for L2 learners, b) a CAPT system without feedback, c) no CAPT s...

The benefits of formative assessment and the provision of quick feedback to the learners are unquestionable. A lot of effort needs however to be devoted by the teacher in order to assess the learner’s status and providing quality and valuable feedback when actually implementing these techniques in real-world situations during active learning activities. The aim of this work is to offer teachers...
