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...

The present study concentrated on the relationship between self-concept and language learning strategies. Participants of the study were 157 students from one University in Shandong, China. Quantitative data was collected through two questionnaires. The first one was the revised Chinese version of self-concept scale modified by Pan (2003) from Marsh’s (1992) SQDII. Another inventory based on Ox...

Bus systems are unstable without considering any control. Thus, we are able to consider some control strategies to alleviate this problem. A holding control strategy is one commonly used real-time control strategy that can improve service quality. This paper develops a mathematical model for a holding control strategy. The objective of this model is to minimize the total cost related to passeng...

This paper explores entrainment of two speaking styles, shouting and hyperarticulation, in an information-driven spoken dialog system. Both styles present difficulties for automatic speech recognition. We describe and evaluate the system’s detection and reaction mechanisms for these speaking styles, which involve deploying appropriate dialog-level strategies. The three strategies tested do indu...

Speaking is one of the problematic aspects language learning for teacher to help them more actively engaged during teaching-learning process. However, studies show that choosing right teaching strategy and media can overcome student’s speaking difficulties. One strategies chosen in this research spoof text storytelling.

The task of automatically transcribing general audio data is very different from those usually confronted by current automatic speech recognition systems. The general goal of our work is to determine the optimal training strategy for recognizing such data. Specifically, we have studied the effects of different speaking environments on a phonetic recognition task using data collected from a radi...

This study investigated the impact of code-switching on speaking ability of Iranian low proficiency EFL learners. Moreover, it was an attempt to show what functions existed behind code-switching strategies used by the EFL learners. To this end, 60 male and female Iranian EFL learners age-ranged between 20 and 30 participated in the study. Data collection instruments which were used were the Int...
