Retrieval tasks provide learners with an opportunity to focus both on meaning and on form. There are four different retrieval directions. The present study aimed to identify the optimal direction of recall type retrievals during reading and to investigate the outcomes of each one. Forty-eight intermediate EFL learners took part in the study. One of the experimental groups was provided with the ...

When reading on paper, readers often write notes, fold corners or insert bookmarks without apparent conscious effort. Research into digital reading has discovered that electronic tools are far less intuitive, require significantly more attention, and are much less used. This paper introduces “The Digital Reading Desk” – a document reading interface that enhances existing digital reading interac...

We consider the setting of hiding information through the use of multiple databases that do not interact with one another. In this setting, there are k 2 \databases" which can be accessed by some \users". Users do not keep any state information, but wish to access O(n) bits of \data". Previously, in this setting solutions for retrieval of data in the eecient manner were given, where a user achi...

In an eye-tracking experiment with late second language (L2) learners, the present study probed into the relationship between eye-movement (EM) measures and the processing and storage outcomes of reading span tasks (RST) to determine whether EM patterns actually reflect working memory (WM) functions in the L2. Additionally, it examined the relationship between WM capacity as indexed by EMs and ...

Tablet PCs have become a powerful instructional device for students to read and write stories (Robin, 2008). To assist young learners to cultivate efficient learning strategies in the early ages, students in the current study were guided to read three authentic online storybooks and then write their own digital stories with the Android applications. The study aims to investigate Taiwanese eleme...

Repeated Reading (re-read), which means to read a sentence twice to get a better understanding, has been applied to machine reading tasks. But there have not been rigorous evaluations showing its exact contribution to natural language processing. In this paper, we design four tasks, each representing a different class of NLP tasks: (1) part-of-speech tagging, (2) sentiment analysis, (3) semanti...
