A new method is provided to produce the moving analogy target whose motion speed, track, contrast and size can be varied. The video signal transformed by video switching card is used to test the performances of the electronic box of TV tracking equipment. These performances include minimal tracking contrast, minimal size of tracking target, maximal tracking speed and capture time.展开更多

Through sufficient cooperative duration andexposure to their target language learning, their interest and motivation of translation majors were noticeably inspired. This programis sure to be very effective for foreign language learning, if the two principles are followed: principle of reciprocity and self-initia-tive.展开更多
This essay mainly talks about usage of L1 and L2 from various perspectives.Throughout the article some knowledge related to fields of L1 and L2 will be mentioned.
The comparison of the two versions of The story of An Hour done by Yanxuejun and Ge Lin respectively presents how important accarate idiomatic and vivid language is in course of translation.

An addressee is a mental image existing in the mind of an addresser during the creative process. Having defined its parameters, a translator has an opportunity to deliver the thought of an addresser to an addressee as accurately as possible and to select the means of expression that are clear to an addressee. The type of an addressee correlates with ＂the relation to the new＂.展开更多

Suggestions are then provided with regard to the teaching of ＂language-and-culture＂ for Chinese college students from a realistic perspective of current world uses of English.展开更多

On the other hand, language is inseparable from culture. Without the proper knowledge and understanding of the target language culture, one can never rally master it. So, to reduce the negative language transfer, the L2 learners should strengthen the target language culture study throughout their whole lingual development.展开更多

An experiment has been designed to test the pronunciation of targeted consonants of the voca-tional college students, who are English majors with Cantonese as native language but are also exposed to Mandarin for a long time. Re-sults show that the sounds that do not exist in native language are easily pronounced incorrectly. The phonological system the subjectsdevelop to substitute the targeted consonants is quite different from that of the L1 Cantonese learners from Hong Kong and is also variedfrom that of the L1 Mandarin learners from other province of China's Mainland. It confirms that the L1 Cantonese learners of English inGuangdong Province do have a unique phonological system in their interlanguage and that special attention should be paid by teachersduring the teaching of English pronunciation.展开更多

The aim was to investigate the literacy developmental trends across the years and establish which of the two variables, word identification skills or target language oral proficiency influenced reading comprehension performance. The results indicated that word identification skills independently influenced reading comprehension performance in both standard 2 and standard 3 classes, but target language oral skills did not. Further, the analysis of invented spelling task performance revealed evidence of transfer of alphabetic coding skills of first language to English orthography. The spelling errors reflected letter-sound patterns not found in English orthography. Analysis of the miscues in the spelling task revealed that children rely on first language phonological processes to spell target language unfamiliar words as long the languages have a common alphabetic system.展开更多
