It includes"1+2+3" curriculum model, which advocates"Student centered"teaching method and setting up optional courses so that students will at tain the set goal smoothly.

The Effectiveness of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning(MALL)Applications on the Spoken English Assessments in China’s Universities

The increased ownership of mobile phone users and the advancement of mobile applications enlarge the practicality and popularity of use for learning purposes among Chinese university students.However,even if innovative functions of these applications are increasingly reported in relevant research in the education field,little research has been in the application of spoken English language.This paper examined the effect of using a Mobile-Assisted Language Learning(MALL)application“IELTS Liulishuo”(speaking English fluently in the IELTS test)as a unit of analysis to improve the English-speaking production of university students in China.The measurement of this mobile application in its effectiveness of validity and reliability is through the use of seven dimensional criteria.Although some technical and pedagogical issues challenge adoptions of MALL in some less-developed regions in China,the study showed positive effects of using a MALL oral English assessment application characterised with Automatic Speech Recognition(ASR)system on the improvement of complexity,accuracy,and fluency of English learners in China’s colleges.

Starting Small,right or wrong?:Age and Second Language Acquisition

Lots of factors are affecting second language acquisition,of which age is a hotly debated one.Some researchers do believe that age has a central effect on the acquisition of both first and second languages and there is a critical(Lenneberg,1967) or sensitive period in language acquisition,while others think that no adequate evidence of starting early contributes to the proficiency of the target language.Here I will list some of the hypotheses related to age and second language acquisition and find out whether it is true that children acquire more than adults in second language.

Learner Autonomy in the National English Language Curricula for Chinese Universities 1978-2007:A Historical Analysis

This historical study investigates the concept of learner autonomy in the national English language curricula for Chinese universities.It seeks to understand the meaning of learner autonomy in China and the intentionality of promoting this concept through the curricula from 1978 to 2007.By adopting Quentin Skinner’s intentionalist approach to analyzing the history of ideas,this study conducted a systematic document analysis of three national curricula in relation to their linguistic and practical contexts constituted of 169 Chinese academic articles in total.The study revealed that learner autonomy mainly referred to students’motivation and ability to work hard on their own outside the classroom in the Chinese context.Importing this concept,however,caused ideological confusion and exacerbated the disempowerment of teachers within the dynamics of China’s English language education at the tertiary level.The study raises awareness for borrowing concepts across different cultural contexts and has implications for research,policymaking,teacher development,and pedagogical practice in second language education in China.

Intelligent Agent Based Mapping of Software Requirement Specification to Design Model

Automatically mapping a requirement specification to design model in Software Engineering is an open complex problem. Existing methods use a complex manual process that use the knowledge from the requirement specification/modeling and the design, and try to find a good match between them. The key task done by designers is to convert a natural language based requirement specification (or corresponding UML based representation) into a predominantly computer language based design model—thus the process is very complex as there is a very large gap between our natural language and computer language. Moreover, this is not just a simple language conversion, but rather a complex knowledge conversion that can lead to meaningful design implementation. In this paper, we describe an automated method to map Requirement Model to Design Model and thus automate/partially automate the Structured Design (SD) process. We believe, this is the first logical step in mapping a more complex requirement specification to design model. We call it IRTDM (Intelligent Agent based requirement model to design model mapping). The main theme of IRTDM is to use some AI (Artificial Intelligence) based algorithms, semantic representation using Ontology or Predicate Logic, design structures using some well known design framework and Machine Learning algorithms for learning over time. Semantics help convert natural language based requirement specification (and associated UML representation) into high level design model followed by mapping to design structures. AI method can also be used to convert high level design structures into lower level design which then can be refined further by some manual and/or semi automated process. We emphasize that automation is one of the key ways to minimize the software cost, and is very important for all, especially, for the “Design for the Bottom 90% People” or BOP (Base of the Pyramid People).

基于领域知识图谱和对比学习的汉越跨境民族文本检索方法

汉越跨境民族文本检索是一类面向领域的跨语言检索任务,旨在以一种语言作为问题查询,检索出另一种语言对应的民族、宗教、文化习俗等跨境民族文档.但在汉越跨境民族文本检索任务中存在大量不常见的领域实体,实体表达形式多样,且中文和越南语两种语言领域实体没有直接对应关系,导致跨语言领域词对齐和语义对齐困难,进而影响汉越跨境民族文本检索模型性能.基于此,提出一种基于领域知识图谱和对比学习的汉越跨境民族文本检索方法.首先,利用多头注意力机制将汉越跨境民族领域知识图谱融入查询和文档,丰富查询和文档中不常见的跨境民族领域实体信息;然后,引入对比学习来解决跨语言查询和文档的语义表征对齐困难问题;最后,将融入知识图谱的查询和文档表征之间的相似度计算作为相关性分数.实验表明,提出的方法和基线模型相比,性能提高了4.1%.

The Critique of Bley-Vroman's Logical Problems

The article focuses on some points of view in disagreement with Bley-Vroman's. In the author's opinion, different from the L1 learning, UG is not or partially accessible to the adult foreign language learners. Some evidence is exposed to support the author's hypothesis. The author will illustrate this from the following aspects: the concept of UG, the relation of L2 learning and problem-solving, UG accessibility, critical period, comprehensible input and interlanguage.
