The Effect of Serious Mobile Games on Students’ English Vocabulary Acquisition and Attitudes toward English 严肃手机游戏对学生英语词汇习得及英语态度的影响
IF 1.4 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.4018/ijcallt.297203
The main aim of this study was to explore the effect of the serious mobile game Jumo the Jumper on the vocabulary acquisition of primary school English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students and their attitudes toward an EFL course. The main research design of the study was a quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control groups that included pre-test and post-test control groups. Twenty students in the experimental group played the serious mobile game aimed at teaching English vocabulary about the “animals” unit for four weeks, while 20 students in the control group received traditional, curriculum-based tuition. Based on the analysis of the independent sample t-test, the use of the serious mobile game Jumo the Jumper in primary school classrooms had a significant effect on the vocabulary acquisition of the students compared to traditional instruction. On the other hand, the serious mobile game did not have a significant effect on the students’ attitudes toward the EFL course.
本研究的主要目的是探讨严肃手游《Jumo The Jumper》对小学英语学生词汇习得的影响及其对英语课程的态度。本研究的主要研究设计为准实验设计,非等效对照组包括前测组和后测组。实验组的20名学生玩了为期四周的旨在教授“动物”单元英语词汇的严肃手机游戏,而对照组的20名学生则接受了传统的基于课程的教学。独立样本t检验分析表明,在小学课堂上使用严肃手游《Jumo the Jumper》对学生词汇习得的影响显著高于传统教学。另一方面,严肃的手机游戏对学生的英语课程态度没有显著的影响。

The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of what kind of student benefits most from studying under the flipped learning method. A total of 43 Japanese university students studying in a language pedagogy course participated in this quasi-experimental study. Qualitative data was taken from 385 study journal entries and interviews with 15 of the participants. The language (i.e., English or Japanese) used by students in the journals and interviews was used to measure their linguistic self-confidence. The results suggested that students with high linguistic self-confidence perceive the videos used for the flipped class as beneficial for their learning but that they preferred to challenge themselves by reading the textbook without scaffolding from the videos. Students with medium and low linguistic self-confidence, however, indicated that they found the videos were beneficial for increasing their understanding of the content of the textbook and thus participate actively in discussions held during class.
本研究的目的是了解在翻转学习方法下,什么样的学生从学习中获益最多。共有43名日本大学语言教育学专业的学生参与了本准实验研究。定性数据来自385篇研究日志和对15名参与者的访谈。使用学生在期刊和访谈中使用的语言(即英语或日语)来衡量他们的语言自信。结果表明,具有高度语言自信心的学生认为翻转课堂的视频对他们的学习有益,但他们更愿意挑战自己,在没有视频支撑的情况下阅读教科书。而语言自信心中低的学生则表示,视频有助于他们加深对教材内容的理解,从而积极参与课堂讨论。

This study investigated foreign language (FL) teachers’ experiences of the virtual classroom during COVID-19 lockdown. The sample consisted of 405 FL teachers who participated in the survey which aimed to measure FL teachers’ perceptions of TPACK, virtual classroom activities, online self-efficacy, student engagement and encountered obstacles. The findings indicate that teachers working in remote areas practice fewer virtual classroom activities and thus perceive low student online engagement. The article discusses the differences between FL teachers regarding the FL they teach, i.e., differences in student online engagement exist between the FL taught, and differences in virtual classroom activities depend on the FL taught. In addition, school stage predicts FL teachers’ online self-efficacy and the relationship between teachers’ perceptions of TPACK and school size exists.
本研究调查了新冠肺炎封锁期间外语教师在虚拟课堂的体验。样本包括405名外语教师,他们参与了调查,旨在衡量外语教师对TPACK、虚拟课堂活动、在线自我效能感、学生参与度和遇到障碍的看法。研究结果表明,在偏远地区工作的教师较少进行虚拟课堂活动,因此认为学生的在线参与度较低。本文讨论了外语教师在外语教学方面的差异,即所教外语之间存在着学生在线参与度的差异,以及所教外语所导致的虚拟课堂活动的差异。此外,学校阶段对外语教师的网络自我效能感有预测作用,教师对TPACK的感知与学校规模存在关系。

As a response to a call to investigate the fundamental aspects regarding educational theory, research, designing and teaching of language massive open online courses (MOOCs), this study first developed a Community of Inquiry (CoI) observation protocol, to observe the existing teaching, social, and cognitive presences in language MOOCs, and tested its reliability using g-theory analysis. The results showed that the developed observation protocol is reliable, as evidenced by the large proportion of variance attributed to variation across courses rather than across raters. A follow-up d-study suggested that five and 11 raters were enough to reach moderate and substantial reliability coefficients, respectively. The study also identified exemplary practices that reflected high-level CoI presences in language MOOCs. The result not only highlighted the need to conduct observational studies to disentangle the dynamic interchanges that occur in language MOOCs, but also provided practical guidelines to language educators interested in designing and teaching their own MOOCs.
为响应对语言大规模在线开放课程(MOOCs)教育理论、研究、设计和教学等基本方面的研究呼吁,本研究首先开发了一个探究社区(CoI)观察协议,以观察语言大规模在线开放课程(MOOCs)中现有的教学、社会和认知存在,并使用g理论分析来检验其可靠性。结果表明,开发的观测方案是可靠的,因为很大比例的方差归因于不同课程的差异,而不是不同评分者的差异。一项后续研究表明,5名和11名评分者分别足以达到中等和实质性的信度系数。该研究还确定了反映语言mooc中高水平CoI存在的示范实践。这一结果不仅强调了开展观察性研究以解开语言mooc中发生的动态交流的必要性,而且为有意设计和教授自己的mooc的语言教育者提供了实践指导。

Virtual exchange (VE) has been increasingly applied to foreign language education in the last two decades. The pandemic has compelled scholars and practitioners to adopt various forms of VE alongside language teaching and learning. The current study is based on one VE project between university students in Britain and China over a duration of eight weeks in the academic year of 2021-22. It draws on literature in VE relating mostly to English and other European languages, and mainly on the theoretical framework of intercultural communicative competence (ICC). Both quantitative and qualitative data are analysed to investigate how VE impacts the development in knowledge and skills including ICC and how issues can be addressed in the context of teaching Chinese as a foreign language. As we ease out of the challenges caused by the pandemic and other global relations, VE should not just be the contingency replacement of a physical exchange into China, but also become a necessary preparation for a new norm of blended mobility.
近二十年来,虚拟交换在外语教育中得到了越来越多的应用。疫情迫使学者和从业者在语言教学的同时,采用各种形式的英语教学。目前的研究是基于英国和中国的大学生在2021-22学年为期八周的VE项目。它借鉴了与英语和其他欧洲语言有关的VE文献,主要是跨文化交际能力(ICC)的理论框架。本文分析了定量和定性的数据,以探讨汉语教学如何影响包括国际商会在内的知识和技能的发展,以及如何在对外汉语教学的背景下解决这些问题。随着新冠肺炎疫情和其他国际关系带来的挑战逐渐缓解,虚拟交换不应仅仅是替代实体交换进入中国的应急措施,而应成为混合流动新常态的必要准备。

Machine translation (MT) platforms have gained increasing attention in the educational linguistics community. The current article extends past research on instructor beliefs about MT by way of an ecological theoretical framework. The study reports on a large-scale survey (n=165) of FL university-level instructors in the U.S. Findings indicate strong lines being drawn around acceptable MT use (e.g., in relation to text length and skill, policies), an acknowledgement of widespread student use driven by diverse motivations, and the Janus-faced nature of MT's potential threat to the profession. These findings reveal several salient tensions in how MT mediates relationships in language education (e.g., constructions of students, the nature of language and language learning, goals of the profession) that shed new light on the impact of MT technologies on the field. Implications for future research and the development of pedagogical practices anchored in digital literacies conclude the piece.
机器翻译平台越来越受到教育语言学界的关注。本文从生态学的理论框架出发,扩展了以往对教师观的研究。该研究报告了一项针对美国FL大学级别教师的大规模调查(n=165)。调查结果表明,人们对可接受的MT使用(例如,与文本长度和技能、政策有关)有着强烈的界限,承认学生广泛使用MT的动机多种多样,以及MT对职业的潜在威胁的双面性。这些发现揭示了机器翻译如何调解语言教育中的关系的几个突出的紧张关系(例如,学生的结构,语言和语言学习的性质,专业目标),为机器翻译技术对该领域的影响提供了新的视角。对未来研究的影响和以数字素养为基础的教学实践的发展结束了这篇文章。

Exploring EFL Learners' Willingness to Communicate in Multimodal Videoconferences 探讨英语学习者在多模式视频会议中的交流意愿
IF 1.4 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2021-10-01 DOI: 10.4018/ijcallt.2021100106
S. Hung, H. Huang
The current study explored how the participation in multimodal videoconferencing sessions affected one of the affective factors: willingness to communicate (WTC) in second language learning. Participants from the experimental group took part in three 30-minute communication tasks via videoconferencing that included interactions in textual, audio, and visual modes while their counterparts completed the same tasks face-to-face. Instruments included an adapted WTC scale, semi-structured interviews, and learner reflections. The results showed that learners in the experimental group exhibited significantly higher levels of WTC than those in the control group, suggesting that multimodal videoconferencing increased learners' WTC. Next, qualitative findings indicated that learners' WTC in multimodal videoconferences was influenced by the support from multimodal texts and the affordances of multimodal interaction. EFL professionals are recommended to create multimodal environments to not merely foster learners' negotiation of meaning but also promote WTC through diverse patterns of interaction.
本研究探讨了多模态视频会议的参与如何影响第二语言学习中的一个情感因素:交流意愿。实验组的参与者通过视频会议参加三个30分钟的交流任务,包括文本、音频和视觉模式的互动,而他们的对手则面对面完成相同的任务。工具包括改编的WTC量表、半结构化访谈和学习者反思。结果表明,实验组学习者的WTC水平显著高于对照组,说明多模式视频会议提高了学习者的WTC水平。其次,定性研究发现,多模态视频会议中学习者的语言学习能力受到多模态文本支持和多模态互动的支持的影响。建议外语专业人士创造多模式环境,不仅培养学习者的意义协商,而且通过不同的互动模式促进语义协商。

Developing an Online Test to Measure Writing and Speaking Skills Automatically 开发一个在线测试来自动测量写作和口语技能
IF 1.4 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2021-10-01 DOI: 10.4018/ijcallt.2021100105
G. Bateson.
As a result of the Japanese Ministry of Education's recent edict that students' written and spoken English should be assessed in university entrance exams, there is an urgent need for tools to help teachers and students prepare for these exams. Although some commercial tools already exist, they are generally expensive and inflexible. To address these shortcomings, a new open-source, online test for assessing English ability was developed. The test features the automatic grading not only of reading and listening, but also of speaking and writing. Thus, the general English ability of large numbers of students can be checked quickly online, making the test suitable for use in entrance exams and placements tests. It is based around the Moodle LMS and features several new plugins to automatically grade speaking and writing. This paper details plugin development, shows preliminary samples, and explains how test reliability will be verified by comparing students' scores with human-ratings and widely used tests such as IELTS, TOEIC, and CASEC.
由于日本文部科学省最近颁布法令,要求在大学入学考试中评估学生的英语笔头和口语,因此迫切需要一种工具来帮助老师和学生准备这些考试。尽管已经存在一些商业工具,但它们通常都很昂贵且不灵活。为了解决这些缺点,开发了一种新的开源在线英语能力评估测试。该考试不仅具有阅读和听力的自动评分功能,而且具有口语和写作的自动评分功能。因此,大量学生的一般英语能力可以在网上快速检查,使该测试适用于入学考试和实习考试。它是基于Moodle LMS,并具有几个新的插件来自动评分口语和写作。本文详细介绍了插件的开发,展示了初步的样本,并解释了如何通过将学生的分数与人类评分和广泛使用的考试(如雅思、托业和CASEC)进行比较来验证测试的可靠性。

This study explores learners' perceptions of and experiences in a flipped-blended Chinese-as-a-Foreign-Language (CFL) course. Based upon dynamic complex system and social interaction theory for language learning as well as on instructional design approaches, this study examines the seamless integration between the online and face-to-face (FTF) components. Twenty-three first-semester CFL learners participated in the study. Data were collected via student surveys and a semi-formal focus group interview. The findings show that students' perceptions are highly positive and that the seamless integration of the two modes is beneficial and conducive to meeting the learning outcomes. The students also pointed out weaknesses of the design, such as the length of the videos, the need for more interesting writing tasks in the FTF meetings, and the lack of immediate help during the video watching process.
本研究探讨了学习者对汉语作为外语(CFL)课程的认知和体验。基于语言学习的动态复杂系统理论和社会互动理论以及教学设计方法,本研究探讨了在线和面对面(FTF)组件之间的无缝整合。23名第一学期的外语学习者参与了这项研究。数据通过学生调查和半正式的焦点小组访谈收集。研究结果表明,学生的认知是高度积极的,两种模式的无缝融合是有益的,有利于实现学习成果。学生们也指出了设计的弱点,比如视频的长度,在FTF会议中需要更有趣的写作任务,以及在观看视频的过程中缺乏即时帮助。
