Learning Programming Languages through Corrective Feedback and Game-Based Concept Visualisation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In this paper, we address common issues faced by students in programming courses by combining implicit and explicit corrective feedback to provide real-time assistance in coding tasks and introducing a novel gamebased concept visualisation technique to allow students to visually obtain knowledge of coding concepts and execution state. The mapping between game actions and source code forms an implicit example-based environment allowing concepts and feedback to be more clearly conveyed than in e-learning systems, integrated development environment (IDE), or through static course materials. An experimental evaluation of a prototype system confirmed the potential of this approach for programming education by scoring highly in terms of both user satisfaction and its potential pedagogical capability.

The Relationship between Frequency of Oral Corrective Feedback and Identity Processing Style among Iranian EFL Teachers
is believed that identity has great[s1] impact on almost every aspect of human psychological and social growth. Oral corrective feedback, on the other hand, is found to have a profound influence on learning. In this regard, this study attempted to examine any probable relationship between identity processing styles and the frequency of oral corrective feedback techniques. The participants inclu...

The Role of Corrective Feedback and Learning Styles on EFL Students’ Acquisition of Grammatical Structures
The role of oral corrective feedback has been investigated by SLA researchers from various perspectives. Focusing on Iranian EFL context, the present study aimed to explore the role of receiving corrective feedback in the learning of English grammatical structures. It also probed the association between the type of corrective feedback and EFL learners’ learning styles. This was an experimental ...

With the latest paradigm shift in SLA from Cognitivism to Sociocultural Theory (SCT), more studies are carried out to investigate the efficacy of Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) through a social and cultural lens. A more recent offspring of SCT is Activity Theory which provides an explanatory framework for scrutinizing an activity in a social setting. The present study aimed at investigating ...

This study investigated the effects of prompts as corrective feedback strategy on teaching /θ/ and /ð/ sounds to Iranian EFL learners. To achieve this objective, after 30 students studying English at a language institute took a placement test, the intermediate-level students were selected based on their scores on this test. They were randomly assigned to one experimental group and one control g...
