The innovation of computer and the application of Internet, multimedia and other information technology contribute to the introduction of 3 Plus 1 Foreign Language Teaching Model which integrates theory, practice and network technology into foreign language course. This integration implements the principles of Constructivism theory, educational ecology, and the balanced ecosystem of foreign lan...

Syntactic parsing is a fundamental problem in computational linguistics and natural language processing. Traditional approaches to parsing are highly complex and problem specific. Recently, Sutskever et al. (2014) presented a task-agnostic method for learning to map input sequences to output sequences that achieved strong results on a large scale machine translation problem. In this work, we sh...

the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the perceived social self-efficacy of the students of english and their foreign language classroom anxiety. the required data were gathered through the application of the original versions of two standard questionnaires: smith and betz’s (2000) 25-item scale of perceived social self-efficacy (spsse) and horwitz, horwitz and...

The design of computational systems to support foreign language instruction needs to be grounded on what we know about human learning, language processing, and humancomputer interaction. Principles derived from these fields can be tested and quantified in the context of specific tutoring systems. Evaluation of the pedagogical impact of particular principles can best be achieved by comparing two...

Language and gesture are highly interdependent systems that reciprocally influence each other. For example, performing a gesture when learning a word or a phrase enhances its retrieval compared to pure verbal learning. Although the enhancing effects of co-speech gestures on memory are known to be robust, the underlying neural mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we summarize the results of behav...

A number of studies have accounted the integral role of foreign/second language learning and learner strategy use. However, a few of these studies have considered the relationships between strategic competence and its use and foreign language performance (FLP). This study applied structural equation modeling to deeply investigate the relationships between test takers’ strategy use and their per...
