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...

The rate of technological progression seems to have encouraged teachers and researchers to reassess their pedagogic beliefs in an attempt to maintain their control over the learning process and the influx of authentic materials. With regard to the field of language teaching, technology seems to be demanding a re-examination of pedagogies in order to find ways of making use of current technology...

The paper describes a learner corpus of Czech, currently under development. The corpus captures Czech as used by nonnative speakers. We discuss its structure, the layered annotation of errors and the annotation process.

In this paper, we propose to integrate the self esteem component within learning process. The goal was to introduce a new strategy to enhance learner self esteem while interacting with a tutoring system. This approach is based on a subliminal, non consciously perceived, self esteem conditioning priming method. We conducted an experimental study to measure the effect of this strategy on particip...

Interaction in distance education processes; It has a very important place the learner's academic performance, attitude and motivation, participation lesson acquisition of instructional goals behaviors. According to data obtained as result analysis this study, which interaction synchronous asynchronous processes was investigated by qualitative meta-synthesis method; In processes, themes emerged...

Fill-in-the-blank items are commonly featured in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) systems. An item displays a sentence with a blank, and often proposes a number of choices for filling it. These choices should include one correct answer and several plausible distractors. We describe a system that, given an English corpus, automatically generates distractors to produce items for preposi...
