The Use of Language Corpora and Concordancing Software to Improve Grammatical Competence in Teaching English as a Foreign Language

In classes of English as a foreign language, an important feature for developing the grammatical competence of the students is to provide them with a sufficient amount of language samples. This is done in order to allow the learners to gain more insight into the language structure and use, on the basis of which they can come to generalisations and formulate rules of grammar. Corpus-based language teaching and learning equips learners with knowledge and skills that can be used for this purpose. The advantage of using language corpora as teaching and learning materials is that they provide examples of authentic language. The chosen or built corpus is usually large enough to enable the learner to find a sufficient number of examples of a word or phrase in a context which is presented in an electronic form. As language corpora offer some obvious didactic advantages, they are becoming more and more popular among foreign language teachers and learners. The corpus is usually subjected to a concordance analysis which means using analytical software （a concordancer） to find the occurrences of a particular word or phrase in a text or in a compilation of texts. The aim of this paper is to present the possibilities which the use of a language corpus in combination with concordancing software give to teachers in their designing of language learning tasks After some brief theoretical foundations about the usefulness of concordancing, the paper presents the author＇s experience in the application of these tools in the classroom

Influence of Software Modeling and Design on Domain-Specific Abstract Thinking: Student’s Perspective

Software engineering has been taught at many institutions as individual course for many years. Recently, many higher education institutions offer a BSc degree in Software Engineering. Software engineers are required, especially at the small enterprises, to play many roles, and sometimes simultaneously. Beside the technical and managerial skills, software engineers should have additional intellectual skills such as domain-specific abstract thinking. Therefore, software engineering curriculum should help the students to build and improve their skills to meet the labor market needs. This study aims to explore the perceptions of software engineering students on the influence of learning software modeling and design on their domain-specific abstract thinking. Also, we explore the role of the course project in improving their domain-specific abstract thinking. The study results have shown that, most of the surveyed students believe that learning and practicing modeling and design concepts contribute to their ability to think abstractly on specific domain. However, this finding is influenced by the students’ lack of the comprehension of some modeling and design aspects (e.g., generalization). We believe that, such aspects should be introduced to the students at early levels of software engineering curriculum, which certainly will improve their ability to think abstractly on specific domain.
