There is growing evidence that dyslexia may involve difficulty with implicit learning, which hinder learners to acquire spelling skills in a foreign language through instruction. Paradoxically, this exactly how Dutch students learn English at school. This research aims determine if implementing explicit instruction, based on direct comparison between L1 and L2 spelling, facilitates the developm...

Predication facilitates high-bandwidth fetch and large static scheduling regions, but has typically been too complex to implement comprehensively in out-of-order microarchitectures. This paper describes dataflow predication, which provides per-instruction predication in a dataflow ISA, low predication computation overheads similar to VLIW ISAs, and low complexity out-of-order issue. A twobit fi...

COLLEGE SCIENCE TEACHING It is well established that a major barrier to learning are the misconceptions that students bring with them into the classroom or that develop during the course of instruction (Committee on Undergraduate Science Education 1997). Conventional teaching strategies, even those that directly address identified misconceptions, often fail to change students’ deeply held ideas...

This study set out to explore whether different input enhancement tasks as implicit instruction techniques had any significant impact on the intake of causative verbs in English as a foreign language among Iranian EFL learners. For this purpose, three intact classes consisting of 75 male and female intermediate L2 learners were randomly divided into three conditions: simultaneous grammar consci...
