Contrary to rad-hydro predictions, the National Ignition Facility has not achieved ignition. Recent experimental evidence suggests that plasma kinetic effects may play an important role during Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) capsules’ implosion. Consequently, kinetic models and simulations may be needed to understand better experimental results and design ICF targets. We present a new, optima...

BACKGROUND The factors that affect referral for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) have been widely studied. Implicit in this work is the assumption that patient health status should determine priority for surgery. However, specification of patient health status lacks a strong theoretical framework. This study employs the WHO model of health outcomes, the International Classification of Functioning...

Asabasis for a systematic approach to investigating the effects ofwritten corrective feedback, this article presents a typology of the different types available to teachers and researchers. The typology distinguishes two sets of options relating to (1) strategies for providing feedback ( for example, direct, indirect, or metalinguistic feedback) and (2) the students’ response to the feedback ( ...

This paper introduces a formal view of the semantics and pragmatics of corrective feedback in dialogues between adults and children. The goal of this research is to give a formal account of language coordination in dialogue, and semantic coordination in particular. Accounting for semantic coordination requires (1) a semantics, i.e. an architecture allowing for dynamic meanings and meaning updat...

The current observational and descriptive study makes an attempt to present the interactional discourse patterns of corrective feedback (CF) and uptake occuring in a communicative adolescent EFL class. Using Lyster and Ranta’s corrective discourse model (1997), this study intends to investigate, describe, and analyze the discourse patterns of corrective feedback utilized by an Iranian teacher a...

In this paper, a case-based reasoner uses International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health framework of WHO (ICF codes) and medical expressions to create keyword association profiles. Dementia Case-based Learning Assistant System (DePicT Dementia CLASS) finds significant references and learning materials by utilizing the profile of word association strengths according to the ...

The rise in popularity of the communicative approach in language teaching since the late 1970s primarily focusing on language for meaningful interaction and for accomplishing tasks rather than on learning rules has intensified debate among teachers and researchers on corrective feedback or error correction in second language learning. The concept of corrective feedback has been under analysis f...

Corrective feedback is crucial for students to improve their speaking skill. The as important the way of delivering it students. Lecturers need acknowledge students’ preferences on corrective feedback, so will be useful improvement. This study aims at investigating (1) amount that think most and its reason, (2) types reason. utilizes mixed method. Both close-ended open-ended questionnaire are u...

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...
