In this article, authors talk about the relevance of the training of foreign students in verbal-nominal combinations in different spheres of functioning. It is important for language adaptation. Language adaptation depends on how students know the system of language and the feature of language expression of sense. Verbal-nominal combinations are used in different spheres therefore they can be s...

The oral communication course for English majors at the National University of Malaysia includes testing designed by faculty and coordinated with the curriculum. This practice iz based on the ideas that a te ther who has been actively involved in curriculum design is in a good position to design a test for that curriculum, and that teacher-made tests have a beneficial backwash effect on student...

In view of the separation learning and application in foreign language teaching China, a Production-Oriented Approach theory (POA theory) integrating is proposed. The takes unit tasks with potential communicative value as target, students selectively learn input materials under guidance teachers, finally achieve effective output complete tasks. This paper tries to apply POA Advanced English Tea...

Many tasks in AI require the collaboration of multiple agents. Typically, the communication protocol between agents is manually specified and not altered during training. In this paper we explore a simple neural model, called CommNN, that uses continuous communication for fully cooperative tasks. The model consists of multiple agents and the communication between them is learned alongside their...

Active perspective-taking (PT) has been argued to improve performance on social coordination tasks (Galinsky, Wang, & Ku, 2005). In most such tasks individuals are free to use any natural form of communication, making it difficult to differentiate between the effects of the empathic and cognitive aspects of PT. The Experimental Semiotics research paradigm (Galantucci & Garrod, 2011) provides so...

Knowledge management is crucial in engineering tasks in advanced manufacturing industries. Human-centred design of knowledge management applications requires a profound insight into the tasks of engineers and their need for support. In this paper we describe the iterative approach of the modelling of user tasks and needs and defining functional specifications, using a mix of methods such as Use...

The study was conducted with the aim of examining the rate of foreign language anxiety in male and female language learners. FLCAS (Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale) was administered to two groups of male and female learners. The mean scores of FLCAS indicated a significant difference with females having considerably higher levels of anxiety than males. From 38 female learners,...

Previous research has shown that chimpanzees exploit the behavior of humans and conspecifics more readily in a competitive than a cooperative context. However, it is unknown whether bonobos, who outperform chimpanzees in some cooperative tasks, also show greater cognitive flexibility in competitive contexts. Here we tested the cooperative-competitive hypothesis further by comparing bonobos and ...
