This book was released on 2006 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this research was to discern the effects of computer assisted English instruction on English language preparatory students' attitudes towards computers and English in a Turkish-medium high school with an intensive English program. A quasi-experimental time series research design, also called "before-after" or "repeated measures" design, was used in this research. As a sample, one group of students (20 female and 10 male) was randomly assigned. The research had two phases: traditional English instruction and computer assisted English instruction (CAEI). The instruments for data collection were a Scale for Attitudes Towards English and a Scale for Attitudes Towards Computers, which were given three times at intervals of two weeks. According to the findings, the students' scores of attitude towards computers and English after CAEI increased significantly. However, the correlations between the increases in the students' attitude scores, their gender, and their monthly income were found to be insignificant. This research design is advised for researchers to see the variation and trend of measurements, in particular contexts in time. (Contains 6 figures and 9 tables.)

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, National University of Modern Languages, Islamabad, language: English, abstract: This study is primarily concerned with the students’ attitudes towards computer-assisted language learning. Its main purpose is to investigate what the students’ attitudes are towards computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in different higher secondary schools and colleges where English language is being taught in addition to the courses of English included in the prescribed syllabus. The study has been carried out in different schools in Karachi where English language is being taught in addition to their prescribed syllabus of general studies. The participants are students from different educational settings. The main topics discussed are the attitudes of students towards Computer-Assisted Language Learning. Both negative as well as positive attitudes of the students have been discussed in this this study. Finally, factors affecting students’ attitudes and the relationships among computer-assisted learning, computer-assisted language learning and foreign language learning are also explored within the scope of the study. The findings demonstrate that most of the students have positive attitudes towards computer-assisted learning, computer assisted language learning and foreign language learning. Moreover, students’ attitudes towards computer assisted language learning, and foreign language learning are, indeed, interrelated.

Download or read book Languages for Specific Purposes in Theory and Practice written by Amazat K. Akbarov and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Languages for Specific Purposes in Theory and Practice is a collection of essays which will appeal to teachers of modern languages no matter the level of instruction. The essays highlight the latest developments of Foreign Language Teaching in the Balkan countries, Eastern and Western Europe and the Middle East. The field of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) is one of the richest areas of second language research and practice because increasing globalization and changing technologies spawn new modes of intercultural connection and new occasions for second language use. Languages for Specific Purposes in Theory and Practice compasses this burgeoning field by presenting new research and commentary from some of the field’s leading practitioners. This book surveys the approaches and methods in foreign language teaching, such as grammar translation, language evaluation, communication competence, critical thinking skills, communicative language teaching, and the natural approach. Teachers and teachers-in-training will discover in this book a comprehensive survey and analysis of the major and minor teaching methods used around the world. It is addressed to a wide audience that includes Language for Specific Purposes teachers and researchers, although the contents will also be relevant to applied linguists working in other fields. This book contains research studies as well as educational experiences and proposals, presented from different perspectives and backgrounds (both geographical and cultural), all of which are theoretically grounded and with a clear and sound rationale. Readers will find a variety of educational projects and research studies situated in specific educational contexts and in particular geographical locations.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attitudes of 90 enlisted personnel toward Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) were measured before and after they received instruction presented by CAI. The attitude pretest and posttest were administered on line. The instructional material was divided into four lesson segments, each followed by a review (test) segment. Students who failed to reach the criterion score for any review segment repeated the corresponding lesson segment. A criterion test was administered at the end of the last segment. Measures of student performance used during the course of the instruction were: (a) the total score on the criterion test (total score); (b) the number of errors made during the lesson and review segments (errors); (c) the percentage of responses made during the lesson and review segments that were incorrect (percent errors); (d) the time required to complete the lesson and review segments (time); and (e) the number of review segments failed (review failures). The attitudes pretest did not correlate significantly with any of the performance measures. A significant correlation was obtained between attitude posttest and percent errors (r = -.22). Attitude change was correlated with total score (r = .28), errors (r = -.19), and percent errors (r = -.25). Attitude and attitude change were not related to student ability. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gives a comprehensive overview of the field including historical and interdisciplinary perspectives. Looks at the relationship between the theory and application of Computer-Assisted Language Learning. Describes how the computer is conceptualized as both tutor and tool, and discusses the implications for computer programming, language teaching, and learning. So far the development of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has been fragmented. The points of departure for CALL projects have been enormously varied, and when the projects have been written up, they rarely refer to those that have gone before. Michael Levy addresses this shortcoming, setting CALL work into a context, both historical and interdisciplinary. He is the first person in the field to consider CALL as a body of work. He also aims to identify themes and patterns of development that relate contemporary CALL to earlier projects. The author goes on to explore how CALL practitioners have conceptualized the use of the computer in language teaching and learning. He achieves this through a detailed review of the literature, and through the results of an international CALL Survey, where key CALL practitioners from 18 countries respond to questions on aspects of CALL materials development. Drawn from this rich source of information on actual CALL practice, Michael Levy analyses and expands on a tutor-tool framework. He shows this to be of value for a better understanding of methodology, integration of CALL into the curriculum, the role of the teacher and learner, and evaluation.
