reconfigurable instruction set processors allow customization for an application domain by extending the core instruction set architecture. extracting appropriate custom instructions is an important phase for implementing an application on a reconfigurable instruction set processor. a custom instruction (ci) is usually extracted from critical portions of applications and implemented on a reconf...

the present study investigated the potential of implementing reading strategy instruction in raising learner readers' awareness of reading strategies,  extending the range of strategies they employed and enhancing their reading comprehension ability. to conduct the study, 90 female pre-university students majoring in natural sciences were selected based on a convenient sampling procedure. after...

The completion mode (individual, collaborative) of the tasks and the conditions under which these modes are performed have been reported to play an important role in language learning. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of employing text editing tasks performed both individually and collaboratively, on the achievement of English grammar under explicit and implicit learning condi...

the aim of the current study was to examine the effect of metacognitive instruction on efl learners’ metacognitive awareness of listening strategies, listening comprehension, and oral language proficiency. fifty students of two upper-intermediate english courses participated in the study and were sampled as the experimental and control groups. for sixteen weeks the experimental group participat...

Empathy-based skill development can help engineering students work towards professional expectations regarding ethical duties. However, there is a lack of explicit, holistic pedagogical approaches toempathy education in engineering. In BME161, first-year biomedical design course, received explicit and implicit instruction focused on empathy ethics. Students were also expected to use empathy-bas...

Contemporary assistance systems support a broad variety of tasks. When they provide information or instruction, the way do it has an implicit and often not directly graspable impact on user. System design forces static roles onto user, which can have negative side effects when system errors occur unique previously unknown situations need to be tackled. We propose adjustable augmented reality-ba...

Intertextual understanding is a complex cognitive process that involves linguistic and skills together with the application of appropriate learning strategies, in order to understand implicit meaning text. To foster intertextual among learner as habit thinking, present study made use meta-cognitive due their pedagogical benefits demonstrated previous studies. Based on experimental research, aim...
