Italian speakers tend to stress the second component of German morphologically complex words such as compounds and prefix verbs even if the first component is lexically stressed. To improve their prosodic phrasing an automatic pronunciation teaching method was developed based on auditory feedback of prosodically corrected utterances in the learners’ own voices. Basically, the method copies cont...

It describes how, at Lankhills, a residential special school in Hampshire, teaching methods are selected according to the principle that mental activity should result in further activity both abstract and appliedThe schemes of work not only carry into practice Spearman's principle of " noegenesis but any work is rejected if, in spite of superficially satisfactory results, it fails to satisfy th...

The Internet represents a wonderful opportunity to modify the teaching methods, and to redefine our notions of education. The aim of this paper is to present our teaching project, named Web Learning Environment (WLE), which studies the use of the “Net ” and its resources to develop a learning environment. We have involved a classroom (sixteen students, aged 16-17) of a technical institute in It...

Vocational degree earners represent a major portion of the work force in Taiwan. However, the reality of computing education in Taiwan’s vocational schools is that it’s not so practically oriented, revealing much room for improvement. In this context, we conducted a quasi-experiment to examine the effects of applying web-based self-regulated learning, web-based problem-based learning with initi...

This paper provides a brief overview of an implicit training method used for teaching autonomous agents to represent humans in 3D Virtual Worlds without any explicit training efforts being required.

One of the ways of promoting students’ interest in physics is the performance of experiments. This paper is concerned to experiments which could be used in physics classes taught at basic education. A questionnaire was created to determine to what extent basic school physics teachers are willing to incorporate experiments into their teaching method repertoire. The questionnaire underwent a pilo...

Much research in education has been done on the study of different language teaching methods. However, there has been little investigation using computational analysis to compare such methods in terms of readability or complexity progression. In this paper, we make use of existing readability scoring techniques and our own classifiers to analyze the textbooks used in two very different teaching...
