With self-migrating computations, the main challenge is the extraction and subsequent restoration of the computation's state during migration. This is very diicult when the navigational statement may be placed anywhere in the code and hence many systems place the burden of state capture on the application programmer. We describe an intermediate approach, where the use of navigational statements...

Native Language Identification (NLI), which tries to identify the native language (L1) of a second language learner based on their writings, is helpful for advancing second language learning and authorship profiling in forensic linguistics. With the availability of relevant data resources, much work has been done to explore the native language of a foreign language learner. In this report, we p...

In view of native/nonnative language teacher dichotomy, different characteristics have been assigned to these 2 groups. The dichotomy has been the source of different actions and measures to clarify the positive and negative points of being (non)native teachers. In recent years, many researchers have revisited this dichotomy. The challenge to the dichotomy can be a source of motivation to explo...

In the transition from childhood to adolescence, teens are engaged in defining who they are and finding a place in the wide world creates insecurity. Digital natives are growing up as part of digital generation where technology is ubiquitous in a young person’s life. One online technology commonly used by digital natives are virtual worlds. Increasingly, they have come to rely on this digital m...

Previous approaches to the task of native language identification (Koppel et al., 2005) have been limited to small, within-corpus evaluations. Because these are restrictive and unreliable, we apply cross-corpus evaluation to the task. We demonstrate the efficacy of lexical features, which had previously been avoided due to the within-corpus topic confounds, and provide a detailed evaluation of ...

Thanks to technology-pervaded learning environments, digital natives can experiment new engaging ways of learning together at school. In particular, large displays with multi-touch technology hold new opportunities for the learning process, through the dialogic interaction between students and the simultaneous physical interaction with the screen. Our research suggests the use of a context-awar...

This is the first reported case of native valve endocarditis caused by Engyodontium album. This fungus, rarely seen as a human pathogen, is separated from Tritirachium species by its lack of pigmentation and from Beauveria species by the presence of conidiogenous cells in whorls.

The MERLIN corpus is a written learner corpus for Czech, German, and Italian that has been designed to illustrate the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) with authentic learner data. The corpus contains 2,290 learner texts produced in standardized language certifications covering CEFR levels A1–C1. The MERLIN annotation scheme includes a wide range of language characteri...
