Medical writing activities which may have a context and seem to be engaging may be perceived as demotivating by the students of medicine. This opinion was confirmed by the learners' responses to the open-ended question given to them prior to this study. In their responses students evaluated the writing section of English course negatively. The negative views about the writing course posed a pro...

This paper describes a collaborative experiment in an early learners’ classroom, equipped with special software and hardware to support the acquisition of initial reading and writing skills. This ‘Computer-integrated Classroom’ originated from the EU project NIMIS. Here, a new method to teach ‘reading through writing’ is supported by a specific software tool (T) in the general framework of the ...

This work is introducing a new movement sonification method called ́SoundScript ́ to support the acquisition of character writing by children. SoundScript creates ́sound traces ́ from the writing trace in real-time during the process of handwriting. The structural correlation of both – optic and acoustic – traces leads to an integrated audio-visual perception of writing with the expected stimulat...

Three-dimensional direct-write lithography can be used to pattern waveguides into diffusion photopolymer using low-power CW lasers as an alternative to femtosecond writing in glass. We show that polymer chemistry permits significant control of waveguide shape. © 2005, Optical Society of America OCIS Codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices, (160.2900) Holographic recording materials, (130.31...

We report the latest efforts of the Writing in the Context of Knowledge (WiCK) project in investigating the use of Semantic Web technologies in a business-type environment, where authors create and re-use knowledge-rich documents. To date, we have integrated an established commercial off-the-shelf office production environment with knowledge Web services to assist authors in carrying out tasks ...

In this paper, we present the first experiments using neural network models for the task of error detection in learner writing. We perform a systematic comparison of alternative compositional architectures and propose a framework for error detection based on bidirectional LSTMs. Experiments on the CoNLL-14 shared task dataset show the model is able to outperform other participants on detecting ...

AbstractThe study is aimed at improving the students’ writing ability in using Group Discussion and Cooperative Integrated Reading Composition (CIRC) models of Learning Strategy. The employs Collaborative Classroom Action Research design. subjects are 5 students fourth semester English Department Kutai Kartanegara University 2021-2022. result this shows that strategy with effective ability. In ...

An integrated planar Bragg filter is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. X-couplers and Bragg gratings, operating as photonic Hilbert transformer and flat-top band gap reflectors, are incorporated. Optical signals reflected from these two gratings interference with each other are suitable for single sideband suppression. The device is fabricated by Direct UV grating writing technology in ...

Grammatical error correction has been an active research area in the field of Natural Language Processing. In this paper, we integrated four distinct learning-based modules to correct determiner and preposition errors in leaners’ writing. Each module focuses on a particular type of error. Our modules were tested in well-formed data and learners’ writing. The results show that our system achieve...
