An influential theoretical perspective differentiates in humans an explicit, rule-based system of category learning from an implicit system that slowly associates different regions of perceptual space with different response outputs. This perspective was extended for the 1st time to the category learning of nonhuman primates. Humans (Homo sapiens) and macaques (Macaca mulatta) learned categorie...

A large number of students with and without disabilities—including at-risk—are currently learning online through synchronous and/or asynchronous instruction. As such, it is important for educators to be equipped evidence-based practices—or at the minimum research-based practices—that can adapted or modified teach online, including area mathematics. This article discusses how adapt implement exp...

Research consistently shows that adults engaged in tutored acquisition benefit from explicit instruction several linguistic domains. For preschool children, it is often assumed such does not make a difference. In the present study, we investigated whether affected young learners acquiring morpho-syntactic element. A total of 103 Dutch-speaking kindergartners (M = 5;7) received training miniatur...

The aim of this study was to improve students’ reading comprehension using explicit instruction. Two-cycles classroom action research applied in conducting study. involved fourty-eight (48) 8th grade students a private junior high school Denpasar, Bali. In the process collecting data, researcher administered pre-test and post-test find difference on before after being taught instruction method....

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of metacognitive strategy instruction intervention on reducing language listening anxiety of Iranian EFL learners in the light of 2 listening metacognitive strategy instruction models of Integrated Experiential Learning Task (IELT) (Goh, 2010) and Metacognitive pedagogical Sequence (MPS) (Vandergrift, 2004). Participants were 63 B1 level learners who...

this experimental study examined the effectiveness of using focused and unfocused tasks on iranianintermediate efl learners’ performance in producing noun, adjective, and adverb clauses. in addition,the aim of this study was to explore the effects of form-focused instruction and the feedback studentsreceived from their teacher after doing focused grammar tasks. data consisted of the scores ofth...

The current study used the Space Fortress game (Donchin, 1989) to study the effects of training and instruction in acquisition of complex skills. The game requires flexible coordination of perceptual, cognitive and motor components in a dynamically changing environment. We examined whether effective instruction can be developed for such a task in the same way that instruction is developed for a...

A sizeable body of research into instructed pragmatics roots from the noticing hypothesis: comparing im- plicit and explicit instruction. It is only recently that other theories, including the output hypothesis, have been researched as possible explanations of interlanguage pragmatic development. Pursuing the same line of research, the present study addressed the impact of collaborative o...
