ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the speech-language-hearing therapists’ perception of structured tests proposed by current Chilean regulations assess and diagnose language in children. Methods: a questionnaire their three (the Test Auditory Comprehension Language, revised Phonological Simplification Processes Assessment Screening Spanish Grammar). Differences were contrasted with Friedman test, po...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of deductive instruction of grammar with input enhancement and without using input enhancement. It also explored the effectiveness of inductive instruction of grammar with input enhancement and without input enhancement among Iranian EFL learners. The participants were female intermediate-level students who were studying English a...

Many ESL students need to improve writing skills to pass various language tests; thus, writing teachers need to read many compositions and provide feedback. To help ESL teachers reduce their teaching load and to give students faster feedback, various English grammar checkers have been developed. Few of these PC-based grammar checkers, however, are widely available to ESL learners. As the Intern...

In line with the recommendation that syntactic complexity-focused instruction should be provided to EFL learners at university level, present study modified traditional teaching content of English grammar in China into a syllabus. We examined translations by 52 first-year undergraduate students enrolled an Grammar course pre- and post-tests determine whether explicit syntactically complex struc...

This study aims to improve speaking skills in second semester students of the English education program by using youtube videos. The method used this research is descriptive qualitative. subjects are Education Study Program for 2021/2022 academic year. Data collection techniques were observation, interviews, tests, and documentation. Aspects assessment divided into five aspects, namely Fluency,...

This study investigates the effect of formative exams and communicative grammar teaching strategies on students’ oral response-ability. research had a 2x2 factorial experimental design where 80 third-year university students were assigned using multistage cluster probability random sampling. The data analyzed two-way covariance analysis (ANCOVA) to test hypotheses. outcomes demonstrated that ta...

This paper describes a structure-sharing method for the representation of complex phrase types in a parser for PATR-[I, a unification-based grammar formalism. In parsers for unification-based grammar formalisms, complex phrase types are derived by incremental refinement of rite phrase types defined in grammar rules and lexical entries. In a naive implementation, a new phrase type is built by co...

The present paper deals with the description of computer testing of the functional generative description (proposed by P. Sgall). Illustrations are given of the system of programmes for testing the generative component of the grammar, and some aspects of notation necessitated by the specific requirements of computer testing are pointed out. 1. The problem whether a particular generative grammar...

This paper examines the usefulness of corpus-derived probabilistic grammars as a basis for the automatic construction of grammars optimised for a given parsing task. Initially, a probabilistic context-free grammar (PCFG) is derived by a straightforward derivation technique from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Corpus, and a baseline is established by testing the resulting grammar on four different...
