This thesis has focused on the study on teaching vocabulary through constructing sense relations of words. An experimental teaching is carried out to prove the feasibility and effectiveness of a new way of vocabulary teaching-the integrated approach. The higher scores of the experimental class on the immediate tests and the smaller loss of retention on the delayed test appear to indicate that t...

English vocabulary learning and ubiquitous learning have separately received considerable attention in recent years. However, research on English vocabulary learning in ubiquitous learning contexts has been less studied. In this study, we develop a ubiquitous English vocabulary learning (UEVL) system to assist students in experiencing a systematic vocabulary learning process in which ubiquitous...

many textbooks include semantically related words and sometimes teachers add synonyms, antonyms, etc. to the words in order to present new vocabulary items without questioning the possible effects. this study sought to investigate the effect of teaching vocabulary through synonym, semantically unrelated, and hyponym sets based on higa’s (1963) proposed continuum. a total of 120 iranian intermed...

We address the problem of contour-based perceptual grouping using a user-defined vocabulary of simple part models. We train a family of classifiers on the vocabulary, and apply them to a region oversegmentation of the input image to detect closed contours that are consistent with some shape in the vocabulary. Given such a set of consistent cycles, they are both abstracted and categorized throug...
