Oregon State University, US nvjaramillo@hotmail.com This case study examined students’ and their instructor’s perceptions and experiences in a flipped intermediate Spanish course which aimed to leverage class time for more interactive and communicative tasks to increase the use of language. Through student surveys and instructor interviews, this study found contrastive perspectives between the students’ and instructor’s experiences. Results from student surveys showed that their perceptions were lower but positive at the end of the course when compared to the start of the course. In contrast, the instructor had mixed perceptions before and after the course. Discussion of these contrastive perceptions and experiences are presented, as well as of online tasks and classroom activities. In addition, implications are presented in light of increasing our understanding of the affordances that flipped learning offers for language learning, learners’ agency, and instructor’s support.

Hiroshima Bunkyo University, Japan renauddavies29@gmail.com In this exploratory study, the author examines both students’ and teachers’ perceptions of Moxtra, a cross-platform cloud collaboration service, as a blended learning tool in a language course. Participants were 242 first-year students studying General English and 8 teachers at the Bunkyo English Communication Centre (becc) at Hiroshima Bunkyo Women’s University in Japan. Both students and teachers were given an iPad self-efficacy survey along with a Moxtra Perceptions and Attitudes questionnaire with student survey results being followed by principal components analysis. Findings showed positive indicators regarding the potential for Moxtra in a language learning context, not only as a tool to support blended learning, but also as a tool to support teachers in a collaborative working environment. With that said, the results also indicate that for Moxtra to reach its full potential, students need to be inculcated, nurtured and encouraged to engage fully with the application. Similarly, teachers must also be encouraged to utilize Moxtra’s many features with their students in order to benefit from all of its affordances. The study provides both curriculum developers and language instructors with insights into the adoption of Moxtra in an efl context.
日本广岛文教大学renauddavies29@gmail.com在这项探索性研究中,作者考察了学生和教师对跨平台云协作服务Moxtra作为语言课程中混合学习工具的看法。参与者包括242名学习普通英语的一年级学生和8名日本广岛文教女子大学文教英语交流中心的教师。学生和教师都接受了iPad自我效能感调查,以及Moxtra感知和态度问卷,学生调查结果后进行主成分分析。研究结果显示,Moxtra在语言学习环境中的潜力有积极的指标,它不仅是一种支持混合学习的工具,也是一种在协作工作环境中支持教师的工具。话虽如此,研究结果还表明,为了让Moxtra充分发挥其潜力,需要向学生灌输、培养和鼓励他们充分参与申请。同样,也必须鼓励教师与学生一起使用Moxtra的许多功能,以便从其所有可供性中受益。这项研究为课程开发人员和语言教师提供了在英语环境中采用Moxtra的见解。

RACISM AND STEREOTYPE IN GET OUT MOVIE SCRIPT 电影剧本里的种族主义和刻板印象
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-08-22 DOI: 10.15575/call.v1i1.8807
D. Nurhadi
Racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial groups possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group. Continuation of a racism is stereotype. Stereotypes are generalized because one assumes that the stereotype is true for each individual person in the category. Literary works applying this concept in many worked and one of them is film. Therefore, the writer is interested in discussing the mentioned topic with objective of the research: To identify how racism constructed in Get Out movie and to analyze the stereotype of racism appeared in Get Out movie. The method used in this research is sociology of literature, because it is appropriate to analyze literary work which focused on the racism attitude in Get Out movie script. The grand theory for the topic is Racism a Short History by George M. Fredrickson and Stereotype as Explanations by Craig McGarty. While the object of this research is Get Out movie script by Jordan Peele. The result of data analysis show that racism constructed by three elements there are dialog, characterization and plot. And stereotype of racism that appeared in Get Out movie is discrimination, prejudice and violence. From the finding of data analysis, it can be concluded that the result of the research is that Get Out movie have a racism content with suitable features that match with the theory. Therefore, it is clear and not surprising if the work indeed has the impression of “racist”, since most of literary work with racism issue does have that kind of impression to the readers or the spectators.Keywords: racism, sociology of literature, movie script
种族主义是一种信念或意识形态,认为每个种族群体的所有成员都具有该种族特有的特征或能力,特别是为了区分其优于或低于另一个种族群体。种族主义的延续就是刻板印象。刻板印象是普遍化的,因为人们假设刻板印象对类别中的每个人都是正确的。许多文学作品都运用了这一概念,电影就是其中之一。因此,作者有兴趣讨论上述话题,研究的目的是:确定种族主义是如何在《逃出绝命镇》电影中构建的,并分析《逃出绝命镇》电影中出现的种族主义刻板印象。本研究使用的方法是文学社会学,因为它适用于分析《逃出绝命镇》电影剧本中种族主义态度的文学作品。乔治·m·弗雷德里克森的《种族主义的短历史》和克雷格·麦格蒂的《刻板印象的解释》是这个话题的主要理论。而本研究的对象是乔丹·皮尔的电影剧本《逃出绝命镇》。数据分析的结果表明,种族主义是由对话、人物塑造和情节三个要素构成的。而在《逃出绝命镇》中出现的种族主义刻板印象就是歧视、偏见和暴力。从数据分析的发现,可以得出结论,研究的结果是,逃出绝命镇电影有一个种族主义的内容,具有适合的特征,与理论相匹配。因此,如果作品确实有“种族主义”的印象,这是显而易见的,也并不奇怪,因为大多数涉及种族主义问题的文学作品确实给读者或观众留下了这种印象。关键词:种族主义,文学社会学,电影剧本

This study attempts to analyze a fairy tale novel entitled “The Adventure of Pinocchio”, which talks about the story of the irrepressible marionette who longed to become a real boy. This study focuses on revealing the categories of moral value and describing the building children's character implied in this novel. To analyze this novel, the researcher uses two principles theory to find out the objectives of the studies. There are moral values argued by Linda & Eyre and the theory of children’s character building based on Lewis. The method of this study is qualitative research, which means it does not need statistical procedure to analyze the material. This study merely uses “The Adventure of Pinocchio,” a novel by Carlo Collodi, translated into English version by Carol Della Chiesa as the primary data source. At the same time, the secondary data sources are taken from other literary books and related references to support and complete the primary data. As a result, the researcher finds that some elements of moral values such as love and affection, sensitivity and not-selfish, bravery, self-discipline, and moderation occurred in the content of the novel. Meanwhile, building children's character can be implied through “The Adventure of Pinocchio's” fairy tale: honesty, responsible, regard, respect, and compassionated.
本研究试图分析童话小说《匹诺曹历险记》,它讲述了一个渴望成为一个真正的男孩的木偶的故事。本研究的重点是揭示这部小说所隐含的道德价值范畴和描述儿童性格的塑造。为了分析这部小说,研究者使用了两个原则理论来找出研究的目的。有《琳达与爱》所主张的道德价值观,也有以刘易斯为基础的儿童性格塑造理论。本研究的方法是定性研究,这意味着它不需要统计程序来分析材料。本研究仅以卡洛·科洛迪的小说《匹诺曹历险记》为主要数据来源,由卡罗尔·德拉·基耶萨翻译成英文版。同时,辅助数据源取自其他文学书籍和相关参考文献,以支持和完善主要数据。因此,研究者发现,在小说的内容中出现了爱与亲情、敏感与不自私、勇敢、自律、节制等道德价值观的元素。同时,通过《匹诺曹历险记》的童话故事,可以暗示孩子们的性格塑造:诚实、负责、关心、尊重、同情。

Enhancing peer feedback practices through screencasts in blended academic writing courses 在混合学术写作课程中通过放映加强同行反馈实践
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-04-30 DOI: 10.29140/JALTCALL.V15N1.158
Brad Irwin
The case study presented in this paper investigates the roles that the Moodle workshop activity module and peer feedback screencast training have on the development of formative peer feedback practices in low level English academic writing classes. The development of 26 first-year Japanese students’ peer feedback practices were tracked over 6 separate feedback sessions. The findings indicate that without training, students produced vague and unhelpful peer feedback. However, the intuitive structure of the Moodle workshop module and screencast feedback training sessions helped develop the skills necessary to offer critically evaluative feedback that proved useful for essay revision. Further findings show that although students were initially reluctant to offer feedback written in English, their use of the target language increased with adequate practice. Finally, student perceptions of their own abilities point to a highly significant relationship between screencast feedback training and improvement in peer feedback practices. These results suggest that the combination of the Moodle workshop activity module and feedback training screencasts facilitate effective peer feedback practices even in low level L2 academic writing courses.
本文的案例研究探讨了Moodle研讨会活动模块和同伴反馈视频培训在低水平英语学术写作课形成性同伴反馈实践的发展中所起的作用。26名一年级日本学生的同伴反馈实践的发展在6个单独的反馈会议上进行了跟踪。研究结果表明,没有经过培训的学生会给出模糊且无益的同伴反馈。然而,Moodle研讨会模块的直观结构和视频反馈培训课程帮助培养了提供批判性评估反馈的必要技能,这些反馈被证明对论文修改很有用。进一步的研究表明,尽管学生最初不愿意用英语提供书面反馈,但经过充分的练习,他们对目标语言的使用有所增加。最后,学生对自己能力的认知表明,在视频反馈培训和同伴反馈实践的改进之间存在着高度显著的关系。这些结果表明,Moodle研讨会活动模块和反馈培训视频的结合,即使在低水平的第二语言学术写作课程中,也能促进有效的同伴反馈实践。

Balancing old and new: Integrating competency-based learning into CALL teacher education 新旧平衡:将基于能力的学习融入CALL教师教育
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-04-30 DOI: 10.29140/JALTCALL.V15N1.156
J. Egbert, Seyed Abdollah Shahrokni
Washington State University, United States s.shahrokni@wsu.edu The idea of competency-based, or mastery, learning has been around for decades, but it has recently been receiving more global attention as a foundation for English language teaching and learning. Because technology use can be integral to the attainment of competency, language teachers who use computerassisted language learning (call) in their classrooms should be aware of the principles and practices that can lead to competency. This paper argues that, for this to happen, call teacher educators and other professional development providers need to use a competency approach to make sure that the teachers in their classrooms are as prepared as they can be to engage their English language learners (ells) actively in mastering language, content, and technology. After presenting this position, the paper provides a detailed definition and description of competency-based learning and suggests ways that it can be integrated into call teacher education. An outline of some of the benefits and challenges of this approach in teacher education completes the discussion in this paper.
美国华盛顿州立大学s.shahrokni@wsu.edu基于能力或掌握的学习理念已经存在了几十年,但作为英语教学的基础,它最近受到了越来越多的全球关注。由于技术的使用是获得能力的一个组成部分,在课堂上使用计算机辅助语言学习(call)的语言教师应该意识到可以获得能力的原则和实践。本文认为,要做到这一点,呼叫教师教育工作者和其他专业发展提供者需要使用能力方法,以确保课堂上的教师尽可能做好准备,让英语学习者积极掌握语言、内容和技术。在阐述了这一立场之后,本文对基于能力的学习进行了详细的定义和描述,并提出了将其纳入呼叫教师教育的方法。概述了这种方法在教师教育中的一些好处和挑战,完成了本文的讨论。

Using ALC Press Inc.’s NetAcademy next as the main resource in lower-level university English CALL classes in Japan: A case study 运用ALC出版社的NetAcademy next作为日本大学低级英语口语课堂的主要资源:个案研究
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-04-05 DOI: 10.29140/JALTCALL.V15N1.157
G. A. Stewart
In this article, the researcher reports the results of a case study. The focus was on the development of a “regular class” format (a standard lesson plan) for teachers of lower-level English learners whose English CALL courses incorporate ALC Press Inc.’s NetAcademy Next as the main resource. He draws on the relevant literature to outline what a class for lower-level English learners should aim to provide (including chunk-based reading, reading aloud, repetition, etc.), and introduces the “regular class” format and a handout to complement it. He then provides feedback from the learners. Ninety-four learners in the researcher’s Spring, 2018 CALL classes completed an end-of-course questionnaire. Results indicate that a majority of the learners: (1) were satisfied with the course (mean=4.191 (/5 = Strongly agree), mode=4.000); (2) did not find the course too difficult (2.862 (/5 = Difficult), mode=3.000); and (3) felt more motivated to study and improve their English as a result of taking the course (mean=4.021 (/5), mode=4.000).
在这篇文章中,研究者报告了一个案例研究的结果。重点是为低水平英语学习者的教师开发一种“常规课堂”格式(标准课程计划),这些英语学习者的英语CALL课程以ALC Press Inc.的NetAcademy Next为主要资源。他借鉴了相关文献,概述了低水平英语学习者应该提供的课程(包括基于块的阅读、大声朗读、重复等),并介绍了“常规课程”的形式和一份讲义作为补充。然后他提供学习者的反馈。在研究人员2018年春季的CALL课程中,94名学习者完成了一份课程结束时的问卷调查。结果表明,大多数学习者对课程满意(均值=4.191(/5 =非常同意),众数=4.000);(2)不觉得课程太难(2.862(/5 =难),mode=3.000);(3)参加课程后更有动力学习和提高英语水平(均值=4.021(/5),众数=4.000)。

Building on research on the development of reading and use of technology for language learning, this multiple-case study explored English as a second language (ESL) students’ perceptions of using a social bookmarking Web 2.0 tool for the development of reading from an ecological perspective. Five students in a community college ESL course in the northeastern part of the USA participated in the study. The data sources included interviews, observations, e-journals, and artifacts. Thorough within-case and cross-case analysis of data revealed a number of Diigo affordances which ESL students found beneficial for their development of reading, role of context and mode, participants’ collaborative stance, and various aspects of influence Diigo had on ESL students’ development of reading. The findings and discussion of the study highlight the role of social bookmarking tools in raising ESL students’ motivation and engagement in reading. The study offers suggestions for further research and implications for practice.
基于对阅读发展和语言学习技术使用的研究,这项多案例研究从生态学的角度探讨了英语作为第二语言(ESL)学生对使用社交书签Web 2.0工具发展阅读的看法。美国东北部一所社区大学ESL课程的五名学生参与了这项研究。数据来源包括访谈、观察、电子期刊和人工制品。对数据进行全面的案例内和跨案例分析,揭示了许多Diigo启示,ESL学生发现这些启示有利于他们的阅读发展、语境和模式的作用、参与者的合作立场,以及Diigo对ESL学生阅读发展的各个方面的影响。这项研究的发现和讨论强调了社交书签工具在提高ESL学生阅读动机和参与度方面的作用。该研究为进一步研究提供了建议,并对实践产生了启示。

One of the most significant recent developments in CALL concerns the use of 3D multiplayer games and virtual worlds. An increasing volume of research suggests that implementations of these platforms can provide a range of affordances for language learning, including positive effects on motivation and opportunities for meaningful and authentic learner interaction. However, in both Japan and around the world, despite the wide range of positive findings reported in the literature, adoption of these platforms in language classrooms appears to be largely nonexistent. Bachnik (2003) reported on many of the institutional, cultural, and practical obstacles to the adoption of computer technology in education in Japan, however this analysis predated several important technological developments. We provide an up-to-date review of research on the use of games and virtual worlds in language learning, review the conclusions of Bachnik, and report on the results of a recent survey and series of interviews with university language teachers in Japan. Analysis provides insight into the continuing challenges of adopting technology in language teaching and on the types of virtual platforms that may ultimately see wide adoption.
CALL最近最重要的发展之一涉及3D多人游戏和虚拟世界的使用。越来越多的研究表明,这些平台的实现可以为语言学习提供一系列可供性,包括对动机的积极影响以及有意义和真实的学习者互动的机会。然而,在日本和世界各地,尽管文献中报道了广泛的积极发现,但在语言课堂上采用这些平台似乎基本上不存在。Bachnik(2003)报告了日本在教育中采用计算机技术的许多体制、文化和实践障碍,但这一分析早于几项重要的技术发展。我们提供了关于在语言学习中使用游戏和虚拟世界的最新研究综述,回顾了Bachnik的结论,并报告了最近对日本大学语言教师的调查和一系列采访的结果。分析深入了解了在语言教学中采用技术的持续挑战,以及最终可能被广泛采用的虚拟平台类型。
