connor et al. (2008) mention “specifying textual requirements of genres” (p.12) as one of the reasons which have motivated researchers in the analysis of writing. members of each genre should be able to produce and retrieve these textual requirements appropriately to be considered communicatively proficient. one of the textual requirements of genres is regularities of specific forms and content...

although story mapping strategy has been shown to be beneficial in many reading comprehension classes, the benefits of this technique have not been thoroughly investigated in l2 writing research. the small number of previous studies (e.g., li, 2007; brunner, 2010) have found the potential benefits of using story mapping strategy on students’ writing performance, but they did not focus on differ...

Researchers and scholars have been attracted by the idea of using integrated writing task along with independent writing task to best assess the EFL learners’ writing competence. This study was conducted to compare the writing performance of EFL students in integrated and independent writing tasks. It also aimed to find out if writing performance varies with task types. A number of thirty Irani...

The ability to write effectively is becoming progressively important and instruction in writing is assuming an increasing role in second and foreign language education. Students’ writing abilities have been tested through various writing tasks. Independent tasks of writing or writing-only tasks have been utilized to test students’ writing ability; however, they have been criticized for their la...

Owing to the significance of unit-testing in software development life-cycle, there are several existing approaches on automating the generation of conventional unit tests. However, these approaches often fail to generate a set of test cases that can ensure a high code coverage and manually writing such test cases is a labor-intensive task. To address these preceding issues with conventional un...

The transient behavior of the fundamental amplitude of the photorefractive space-charge field is derived without restrictions within the band transport model. The two-wave mixing pulse excitation regime is simulated in different ranges of the main parameters, especially in the region where the nonlinear processes become important. The formation and decay of the field are analyzed, and for diffe...

Historically, predictive human performance modeling has been successful at predicting the task execution time of skilled users on a desktop computer. More recent work has predicted novice behavior in web searches. This paper reports on a collaborative effort between industry and academia to expand the scope of predictive modeling to the mobile phone domain, both skilled and novice behavior, and...
