Framed in a cognitive approach to task-supported L2 vocabulary learning, the present study used a pedagogical approach to investigate the relative effectiveness of tasks with different involvement loads on the vocabulary knowledge of Iranian EFL learners. The goal was to investigate the way that the construct of involvement load is related to the Input Hypothesis (Krashen, 1985) and the Output ...

This technical report describes CHERI ISAv3, the third version of the This report describes the CHERI Instruction-Set Architecture (ISA) and design. The purpose of this tutorial was to introduce the computer architecture Pydgin is a framework for rapidly developing instruction-set simulators (ISSs) from a but is particularly well-suited for exploring the hardware/software abstraction. The Intel...

The field of second or world language teaching has undergone many shifts and trends over the last few decades. Numerous methods have come and gone. We have seen the Audiolingual Method, cognitivebased approaches, the Total Physical Response (TPR), the Natural Approach, and many others (for a detailed description of these methods and approaches, see Richards and Rodgers 2001). In addition, the p...

We present an approach for learning complex procedural tasks from human demonstration. Our main innovation is to view the interaction between the human and the robot as a mixed-initiative collaboration. Our work utilizes hierarchical task networks to enable the robot to learn complex procedural tasks. Our contribution is to integrate hierarchical task networks and collaborative discourse theory...

The importance of teachers in the success of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) is unquestionable. However, designing a teacher course on TBLT raises many questions concerning ‘what’ and ‘how’ it can be implemented. Can teachers’ professional development be promoted through Task-Based Instruction (TBI)? This paper explores this question by examining the design and implementation of an online c...

This study was designated to examine the effectiveness of Computer-based intervention (CBI) on high school students’ reading performance and self-efficacy. Fifty high school students from 2 resource rooms were recruited. The students in the experimental group (CBI group) received training on the Kurzweil 3000 by the classroom teacher and the researcher and use the Kurzweil to do homework/course...

Our combined task and instruction static scheduling algorithm implemented in the COINS compiler uses an Integer Linear Programming model to find a schedule for a program on a symmetric multiprocessor system-on-chip. We compare our work to state of the art approaches and on average we find a speedup as high as 1.49 compared to a static task scheduling approach without instruction scheduling. Dep...
