This paper studies the influence of learner’s affective states on the well established EEG-mental engagement index during a problem solving task. The electrical activity of the human brain, known as electroencephalography or EEG was registered according to an acquisition protocol in a learning environment specifically constructed for emotional elicitation. Data were gathered from 35 healthy sub...

One of the theories accounting for pragmatic development of L2 learners is Vygotsky’s (1978) sociocultural  theory.  This  study  investigated  the  development  of  EFL  learners'  pragmatic competence through the lens of an important concept of Vygotsky’s theory, i.e.  the  zone  of proximal  development.  The  study  was  conducted  to  answer  two  questions.  The  first  question was wheth...

Learners are often getting uncertainty by the flow of information and have trouble in selecting the material to learn that satisfies their requirements and interests. It is the fact that the learners 'learning interest, and behaviour changes over the time and subject to subject. It is very important, thus, to know learner preferences and what problem he/she faces during the programme. In t...

Nowadays, instructional technologies are the enabler for educators to have more choices in course planning, course design, and lecturing. These technologies not only strengthen the communication between instructors and learners, but also let the learners get an easily access their course materials at anytime and from anywhere. As a result, many educational institutes, including formal universit...

We have implemented ubiquitous computing technology in a primary school setting to support rich classroom activities particularly in the field of early literacy. After initial tests have corroborated the benefit of this technology with respect to attaining curricular goals and to better supporting learner-centred classroom methodologies, we are now exploring specific intelligent support mechani...

Social presence in education pertains to the connectedness students have with one another and is highly indicative of course satisfaction performance. Further, social fosters motivation promotes opportunities for collaboration, therefore, considered a critical factor influencing second language acquisition. In context emergency remote online courses due Covid-19, this study investigates role re...

An extensive analysis of the college teaching literature (over 350 items) suggests that the perspective of perhaps the most highly effective college teachers has yet to be conceptualized, at least within a comprehensive developmental framework. This paper articulates that perspective-called here Systemocentrism (or teacher/learner-centeredness). The perspective b two distinctive elements-attent...

A learner corpus is a useful resource for developing automatic assessment techniques for implementation in a computer-assisted language learning system. However, presently, learner corpora are only helpful in terms of evaluating the accuracy of learner output (speaking and writing). Therefore, the present study proposes a learner corpus annotated with evaluation results regarding the accuracy a...
