This study investigated adaptive behaviour of learners with severe intellectual disabilities with the view of trying to mirror their problems in the acquisition of adaptive behaviour. Respondents comprised teachers of learners with severe intellectual disabilities. The survey used a modified form of the critical incident technique. The purpose of the study was, therefore, to analyse the nature ...

Background Inclusive education requires that the framework within which education is delivered should be broad enough to accommodate equally the needs and circumstances of every learner in the society. This includes learners with disabilities like dyslexia who have been excluded from the formal education system. This article reports the findings of a qualitative study that explored and describe...

This study investigates the development of morphology in the interlanguage of English learners of Xhosa. A quasi-longitudinal research design is used to trace development in the oral interlanguage of six learners of Xhosa for a period of eight months. The elicitation tasks employed range from fairly unstructured conversation tasks to highly structured sentence-manipulation tasks. The learners h...

The main objective of the current study is to investigate L2 Japanese learners’ ability to segment complex sentences from aural input. Elementaryand early intermediate-level L2 learners in general have not developed the ability to use syntactic cues to interpret the meaning of sentences they hear. In the case of Japanese, recognition of inflectional morphemes is crucial for the accurate segment...

In this research, we propose a Social Learning Management System (SLMS) enabling real-time and reliable feedback for incorrect answers by learners using a social network service (SNS). The proposed system increases the accuracy of learners’ assessment results by using a confidence scale and a variety of social feedback that is created and shared through learners’ personal SNS connections. The s...

Boosting is a kind of ensemble methods which produce a strong learner that is capable of making very accurate predictions by combining rough and moderately inaccurate learners (which are called as base learners or weak learners). In particular, Boosting sequentially trains a series of base learners by using a base learning algorithm, where the training examples wrongly predicted by a base learn...

This paper examines the application and impacts of Mobile learning in providing sustainable distance learning in the case of developing countries having multiethnic social environment. The sustainability is conditioned by the structure of learners and well as the teaching community. This paper explains these issues among the distance learners who hailed from multiethnic background. The differen...

This demonstration will illustrate an interactive immersive computer game, POMY, designed to help Korean speakers learn English. This system allows learners to exercise their visual and aural senses, receiving a full immersion experience to increase their memory and concentration abilities to a greatest extent. In POMY, learners can have free conversations with game characters and receive corre...

E-learning system utilizing learners’ characteristics which is recognized through learning processes with Open Simulator for overcoming week points is proposed. Through dialogs with avatars in the Open Simulator, it is possible to understand learners’ week points. Using learners’ characteristics, most appropriate subjects and achievement tests are provided by the proposed e-learning system. Exp...
