Does 'Notice' Prompt Noticing? Raising Awareness in Language Learning with an Open Learner Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Open learner models (OLM) are learner models that are accessible to the learner they represent. Many examples now exist, often with the aim of prompting learner reflection on their knowledge. In language learning, this relates to research on noticing and awareness-raising. We here introduce an open learner model to investigate the potential of OLMs to facilitate noticing. Results suggest that an OLM could be a useful way of helping students to notice language features, with all students noticing some of the features tested, a result that was maintained in a delayed post-test one week after the experimental session.

Interaction Preferences and Learning in an Inspectable Learner Model for Language
We present an inspectable learner model to prompt noticing in language learning, considering interaction preferences. Four patterns of model inspection were seen, but most students viewed the same information. Most improved their knowledge during a session, retaining knowledge in a one week delayed post-test.

The practice of ‘writing to learn’ has been propounded as fast-tracking the dynamic process of noticing problems in L2 writing. However, a marked melioration in learners’ attempted output requires a form of corrective feedback, among which modeling has proven to bear vigorous input enhancement effects. The present study attempted to inspect what EFL learners notice throughout their own output a...

This paper considers the issue of 'noticing' in second language acquisition, and argues for the potential of handheld devices to: (i) support language learners in noticing and recording noticed features 'on the spot', to help them develop their second language system; (ii) help language teachers better understand the specific difficulties of individuals or those from a particular language backg...
