L2 learners’ multiple intelligences (MI) profile plays a central role in theirperformance on different aspects of language learning, one of which is the use oflanguage learning strategies (LLSs). Gaining insights into the relationship betweenMI and LLSs makes L2 teachers better understand their learners’ strengths andweaknesses in the use of such strategies and lets them guide the learners bett...

After moving away from the psychometric and the integrative language testing paradigms toward the communicative language testing paradigm, experts in writing and assessment have been concerned with creating conditions under which learners can experience and display writing in an authentic way so that their writings will tally the ones in non-test situations. As an alternative assessment option,...

Current approaches to language pedagogy recognize the fact that ESL learners need explicit help to improve the grammatical accuracy of their writing. This research investigates the utility of an online resource intended to improve advanced-level ESL learners’ writing by increasing their grammatical awareness and ability to correct the grammatical errors in their own writing. This classroom-base...

Seven activities to engage systems thinking are described, then discussed in a dialogue format. The seven activities involve the creation and discussion of (1) sets in contrast to systems, (2) a simple device to mix colored waters, (3) harmony in music, (4) storytelling, (5) playing in contrast to designing a game, (6) a language game, and (7) a strategy that selects in contrast to combines. Di...

We present a full implementation of the parareal algorithm—an integration technique to solve di erential equations in parallel— in the Julia programming language for a fully general, rst-order, initial-value problem. Our implementation accepts both coarse and ne integrators as functional arguments. We use Euler’s method and another Runge-Kutta integration technique as the integrators in our exp...

the application of critical pedagogy in educational contexts has received adequate research attention over the last decades. the main focus of this strand of research has, however, been on raising awareness of the educators. nevertheless, little is known about the consequences of the violation of critical pedagogy principles from efl teacher trainers’ perspectives. to begin to address this gap ...

This study aimed at providing learners with an opportunity not only to bring together their core and disciplinary knowledge to acquire major skills of learning English as a foreign language (EFL), and the intellectual challenge of these issues at the interface of media, language and religion, but also help the materials generators to produce suitable types of content to be delivered through the...

One of the typical problems of Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the explosive property of the parser and this is aggravated in an Intelligent Language Tutoring System (ILTS) because the grammar is unconstrained and admits even more analyses. NLP applications frequently incorporate techniques for selecting a preferred parse. Computational criteria, however, are insufficient for a pedagogic s...
