Included studies can be categorized into the following topics: learning style models, learning style detection methods, considering learning styles in ...

Reading, as the major channel to obtain linguistic knowledge, has long been paid much attention to in foreign language teaching and learning. With the deeper research on reading process, both reading theories and reading teaching methods have been improved a lot. In this thesis, the writer carried out an experiment with the lexical cohesion theory applied in English reading class so as to find ...

The problem of how a teacher and a learner can cooperate in the process of learning concepts from examples in order to minimize the required sample size without “coding tricks” has been widely addressed, yet without achieving teaching and learning protocols that meet what seems intuitively an optimal choice for selecting samples in teaching. We introduce the model of subset teaching sets, based...

A visual method for adding fractions is introduced. The similarities between this and another method are studied. A formal definition is introduced in an intuitive and visual way. The multiplication is discussed as well as analogies between addition and multiplication with union and intersection of two sets. A final discussion on the philosophy of the method and a comparison with another method...

This study explored the effects of online academic help-seeking (OAHS) and flipped learning (FL) on students’ development of involvement, self-efficacy, and self-directed learning. A quasi-experiment was conducted to investigate whether students’ involvement, self-efficacy, and self-directed learning increases over time with intervention by OAHS, FL, and their combination. Three classes of firs...

Purpose –The purpose of this paper is to see if there are different types of case studies and if so, their impact on teaching and learning. Desjg /methodology/approach – Literature review with discussion. Findings – There are different types of case studies and their impact on teaching and learning is significant. The traditional case study is out dated, but the new more enhanced one, based on ...

This study investigates the relationships among service encounter, service value, patient satisfaction, and word-of-mouth (WOM) intention from the viewpoint of interactive marketing. Data were collected using a questionnaire survey. A total of 372 questionnaires were obtained and 350 of these questionnaires were valid (94.09%), and a structural equation model was used to analyze the data. This ...

Recognising continuous speech in a second language is often unexpectedly difficult, as the operation of segmenting speech is so attuned to native-language structure. We report the initial steps in development of a novel training method for secondlanguage listening, focusing on speech segmentation and employing a task designed for studying this: word-spotting. Listeners detect real words in sequ...
