This study explored the effect of contrastive phrase resynthesis instruction ongaining the teachability hypothesis stages in self-paced versus time-constrained oralproduction and recognition. Three groups (i.e., 23 learners) of high beginner femalelearners in an English language institute were randomly selected from a cohort oflearners. One group received contrastive metalinguistic instruction ...

this article reports on the findings of a study that investigated the impact of manipulating task performance conditions on listening task performance by learners of english as a foreign language (efl). the study was designed to explore the effects of changing complexity dimensions on listening task performance and to achieve two aims: to see how listening comprehension task performance was aff...

Researchers interested in performance in complex and dynamic situations have focused on how individuals predict their opponent(s) potential courses of action (i.e., during assessment) and generate potential options about how to respond (i.e., during intervention). When generating predictive options, previous research supports the use of cognitive mechanisms that are consistent with Long Term Wo...

Abstract: Avella et al. (2006) [Avella, P., D’Auria, B., Salerno, S. (2006). A LP-based heuristic for a time-constrained routing problem. European Journal of Operational Research 173:120-124] investigate a timeconstrained routing (TCR) problem. The core of the proposed solution approach is a large-scale linear program (LP) that grows both rowand column-wise when new variables are introduced. Th...

When analyzing the reliability of a time-constrained distributed software, the Markov state space is often used. However, many evaluation methods are not fast and the size of Markov state space is very large. In this paper, we propose an approach for the reliability analysis of distributed software with time constraint. The approach proposed is based on the principle of distributed program reli...

A real-time active database system (RTADBS) has to provide capabilities for timely trigger of timeconstrained transactions and at the same time to process them, concurrently with others transactions, in a real-time manner. Mostly, triggered transactions are critical transactions. It is highly important to commit them. Committing a triggered transaction requires meeting the deadline constraints ...

one of the major criticisms leveled at task-based language teaching (tblt), despite its countless merits, is developing fluency at the cost of accuracy. the post-task stage affords a number of options to counteract this downside through task repetition and task recycling. these two options are considered to positively affect learners' oral performance in terms of fluency, accuracy, and complexi...
