As increasing numbers of Chinese language learners choose to learn English online, there is a need to investigate popular websites and their language learning designs. This paper reports on the first stage of a study that analyzed the pedagogical, linguistic, and content features of 25 Chinese English Language Learning (ELL) websites ranked according to their value and importance to users. The website ranking was undertaken using a system known as PageRank. The aim of the study was to identify the features characterizing popular sites as opposed to those of less popular sites for the purpose of producing a framework for ELL website design in the Chinese context. The study found that a pedagogical focus with developmental instructional materials accommodating diverse proficiency levels was a major contributor to website popularity. Chinese language use for translations and teaching directives and intermediate level English for learning materials were also significant features. Content topics included Anglophone/Western and non-Anglophone/Eastern contexts. Overall, popular websites were distinguished by their mediation of access to and scaffolded support for ELL.  相似文献

如何将计算机引入石油工程课程设计教学环节之中,是一个重要而且亟待解决的问题。本文建立了"任务驱动、合作学习、目标分解、阶段考核"为特色的钻井工程课程设计体系,以典型设计案例为参照,将信息管理系统技术和工程计算技术相结合,研制开发了一个面向对象的钻井工程课程设计辅助教学系统。实践表明,该系统的应用可以减轻教师的辅导工作量,提高学生自主学习的积极性,增强开展钻井工程课程设计的主动性,可以方便学生收集资料、整理数据,同时减少手工计算的工作量,有助于提高学生的学习效率,培养学生的设计能力。  相似文献   

语言测试中主观题评分员效应研究综述     

田文燕  鄢家利 《五邑大学学报(社会科学版)》2011,13(2):80-83,95

主观题是语言测试中的重要组成部分。主观题可以弥补标准化试题的不足,但又存在评分依赖于评分员主观印象的问题,这导致评分员自身的不稳定性和评分员之间的差异。借鉴、利用三大测量理论和计算机辅助评分,可以优化主观题评分质量,提高其精准性和有效性。  相似文献   

Computer-Assisted Learning in Elementary Reading: A Randomized Control Trial     

Lisa Cassidy Shannon  Mary Koenig Styers  Stephanie Baird Wilkerson  Elizabeth Peery 《学校用计算机》2015,32(1):20-34

This study evaluated the efficacy of Accelerated Reader, a computer-based learning program, at improving student reading. Accelerated Reader is a progress-monitoring, assessment, and practice tool that supports classroom instruction and guides independent reading. Researchers used a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the program with 344 first- through fourth-grade students in three schools in a large Midwestern U.S. city. The results of hierarchical linear modelling analyses indicated that the computer-assisted learning program had a statistically significant positive impact on student reading gains when compared with traditional reading instruction alone. The impact corresponded to a moderate effect size (d = 0.38).  相似文献
