Vocabulary acquisition in both L1 and L2 has depended on the opinion of associative language learning to help recognize elucidate procedures lexical development mind learners. To date, studies this area have delivered relatively controversial findings. The current study revisited certain corresponding issues order gain insight into restoration words mental lexicon. Moreover, it also strived und...

Screen media usage has greatly increased in recent years, even for children. Screen media can be very useful, and has been shown to be an effective tool for learning in children older than two years of age (Kirkorian, Wartella, & Anderson, 2008). However, children under the age of two experience what is called the video deficit effect; that is, they do not learn from screen media (Linebarger & ...

abstract the present study aims at analyzing efl learners’ attitudes towards motivating factors in learning vocab-ulary. a mixed-methods approach was used to conduct the study. in the qualitative analysis, iranian efl learners’ attitudes towards learning vocabulary were investigated through a semi-structured interview en-compassing 36 participants. subsequently, a 56-item ‘motivation for voca...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of blended learning and multimedia software on iranian esp students' vocabulary learning. to this end, 120 iranian esp learners were assigned to two groups: the experimental and control groups. the experimental group received instructions through multimedia software while the control group received traditional instructions. the data were c...

This study analyzes the individual and combined effect of room reverberation and increased vocal effort on automatic speech recognition. Robustness of several state-of-the-art front-end feature extraction strategies and normalizations to these sources of speech signal variability is evaluated in the context of large and small vocabulary recognition tasks on American English and Czech speech cor...

By far the sexiest piece of software associated with ASR is the large-vocabulary decoder. Since this course is nothing if not about being sexy, this assignment will deal with various aspects of large-vocabulary decoding. In the first portions of this lab, we will investigate the various steps involved in building static decoding graphs as will be needed by our decoder. In the second half of the...

In this paper we focus on the challenging task of noise robustness for large vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) systems in non-stationary noise environments. We have extended our Model-Based Feature Enhancement (MBFE) algorithm – that we earlier successfully applied to small vocabulary CSR in the AURORA-2 framework – to cope with the new demands that are imposed by the large vocab...
