This paper explores how cross-institutional Peer Observation of Teaching (PoT) provided a stru ctured opportunity for professional conversations by which observers and observees shared developed their perspectives on teaching experience skills. Such offer opportunities both parties to gain perspective practices that may have been taken granted. Participants from three Higher Education institutions engaged in cross-disciplinary PoT, followed facilitated reflective conversations. captures the...
The interaction between CALL and Endangered Languages (EL) is an under-researched under-exploited field. It perhaps no surprise that this should be the case as in EL context has to address additional requirements deal with extra constraints over above those prevail mainstream CALL. This article introduces topic of lists two classifications for (Terralingua, 2000; UNESCO, 1993). outlines why a language becomes endangered it important save ELs. identifies special situation. These determine...
Assessment is a central feature of teaching and learning. It both complex challenging in ordinary times, these aspects are magnified an online learning environment. Given its role, it crucial that design purpose rigorous robust. This paper presents justification for using interactive oral assessment as online, innovative, authentic approach prepares students professional life, combats plagiarism promotes academic integrity. shares findings through four brief case study examples assessments...
This article presents an overview of a strategic partnership undertaken by the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) and Érudit Consortium (Érudit) to support move towards open access for francophone scholarly journals. CRKN have had relationship through traditional commercial subscription model since 2008. In 2014, two organizations recognized need new that would address major challenges: fragility not-for-profit publishing environment increasing pressure from libraries funding...
In the rapidly changing scholarly communications landscape, article processing charges (APCs) have emerged as a complex issue with many implications for libraries. This explores role of library consortia in relation to based on results survey international consortia. The issues, challenges, and risks identified by respondents are discussed, well some potential larger libraries’ consortia's involvement this area.
Digital game-based language learning (DGBLL) has become an increasingly popular topic in the field of digital educational games. DGBLL can provide learners with enjoyable gaming experience as well enhancing their experience. The need for engaging approaches to teaching and minority or endangered languages also led greater interest application approaches. In this paper, we introduce a game (DEG) designed promote student engagement context language. order evaluate user experience, employ...
The phrase ‘software design’ is not one that arouses the interest of many CALL practitioners, particularly those from a humanities background. However, software design essentials are simply logical ways going about designing system. fundamentals include modularity, anticipation change, generality and an incremental approach. While researchers developers might consider as something required for large-scale projects, it relevant useful all types projects. Colpaert's model incorporates...
Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) researchers face many challenges in developing effective, high-quality CALL. CALL research has a very strong focus on the Most Commonly Taught Languages (MCLTs), particularly English. working with Less (LCTLs) further constraints. LCTLs can range from languages large speaker and online presence to those fewer speakers less resources. Suitable effective pedagogical approaches may not be available for learner needs also different. In case of...
This paper considers the additional uses of CALL in Endangered Language (EL) context. It briefly reviews ELs and reports on for general. then extra ELs; these include changing negative attitudes towards language, arousing interest language contributing to maintenance documentation. In order demonstrate benefits an EL, three examples are presented. Each discussed this could be considered a different scale Fishman (1991) Scale EL. The first application is program Irish primary school children....
Learning a language is challenging and it important that learners be kept motivated throughout the process. Many Irish primary school children are not particularly to learn there few computer assisted learning (CALL) resources available them. WordBricks an app enables construct only grammatically correct sentences. It leverages visual paradigm has Scratch-like interface. was originally developed for English, more recently been expanded cater Irish. This article investigates if using both...
Teaching introductory programming modules in higher education is highly challenging. In particular, it hard to motivate novices if there a lack of tutoring support and also difficult assess their progress when large class. Automated assessment feedback systems help this scenario. The use automated teaching the learning process. This paper discusses these which enable academics assess, grade students programming. We mainly concentrate on whether them understand basic concepts improve skills....
There are many CALL resources available today but often they need to be adapted for level or culture. practitioners would like reuse currently existing material rather than reinvent the wheel, this is not possible. Thus, end up building material, both language content and software, from scratch. This inefficient in terms of practitioners’ time as Felix (1999) points out, there no point ‘doing badly’ what has already been done well. Why can’t we exists? Often hard-wired software cannot...
In this paper, we present a game with purpose (GWAP) (Von Ahn 2006). The aim of the is to promote language learning and ‘noticing’ (Skehan, 2013). has been designed for Irish, but framework could be used other languages. Irish minority which means that L2 learners have limited opportunities exposure language, additionally, there are also (digital) resources available. This research incorporates development, pedagogy ICALL materials development. paper will focus on development as bottleneck...
This paper looks at the use of Natural Language Pro cessing (NLP) resources in primary school education Ireland. It shows how two Irish NLP resources, Finite State Transducer Morphological Engine (IFSTME) (Ui Dhonnchadha, 2002) and Gramadoir (Scannell, 2005) were used as underlying engines for Computer Assisted Learning (CALL) Irish. The IFSTME was to supply verb conjugation information a Verb Checker Component CALL resource, while engine Writing Co mponent. outlines motivation behind develo...
This study offers an efficient formative assessment strategy that may be used to encourage learning and improve students programming comprehension. In addition traditional teaching sessions, the a series of quizzes on fundamental programming, utilising adaptive model for program comprehension as technique. A non-adaptive assessment, both based multiple-choice questions, are provided enrolled in 2023 introductory course. investigated how effectively these assessments assisted understanding,...
