Learning And Performance

AbstractWe suggest there is somewhat more potential than Christiansen & Chater (C&C) allow for genetic adaptations specific to language. Our uniquely cooperative social system requires sophisticated language skills. Learning and performance of some culturally transmitted elements in animals is genetically based, and we give examples of features of human language that evolve slowly enough that genetic adaptations to them may arise.

The paper outlines a framework for the development of reading that shows it is heavily dependent upon spoken language processes. Within this view, reading difficulties can follow from difficulties with speech processing (decoding problems) or from broader language processing impairments (comprehension problems). The paper describes the literacy development of children at high-risk of reading failure and shows how their reading outcome depends on the interaction of the phonological and language skills they bring to the task of reading. Findings have implications for the development of theoretically motivated reading interventions. The evaluation of such interventions is described.

The Given

The given article is dedicated to the significance of“Empty outline” and “Four corners” techniques in teaching synonyms and antonyms of English Lexicology practical classes as a foreign language environment that helps individuals and groups become more effective in process. Thepurposeof this issue is therefore justified by the fact that it is an attempt to somehow compensate for the deficiency of interest to the teaching ways of synonyms and antonyms inlexicology as a subsystem of the English vocabulary. As currently teaching theory in integration with practice demands to apply very effective innovative methods in order to increase students’ communicative language skills. Learning synonyms and antonyms through interactive methods or strategies can give the audience or reader a better understanding of the speaker's exact intentions. The truth is, and the research shows, students need multiple and various exposures to a word before they fully comprehend different meaning of that word and can apply it. So, teaching synonyms to students through new interactive techniques undoubtedly stimulate their interest in learning the semantic field of the English languages.

The emergence of newer educational technologies provides opportunities for computer-assisted language learning practitioners and software developers to capitalize on the affordances for the second language (L2) learning purposes. This article explored and brought together the reported affordances and challenges of virtual reality to teach the L2 receptive and productive skills by reviewing seventy-five peer-reviewed articles published from 2010 to 2020. The results revealed an imbalanced trend of research on language skills learning by virtual reality tools and affordances in favor of listening and speaking skills compared to reading and writing skills. The obtained data were tabularized in terms of language skills. The results were visualized by hierarchical database formats. Pedagogical implications of the study inform teachers about affordances available to teach L2 skills in educational virtual reality environments toward a more digitally enhanced L2 pedagogy. Theoretical implications of the study inform researchers about the challenges that need to be addressed.

This paper aims to express efforts to use comparative literary works as a medium in language learning, and at the same time as a means for the formation of the character of learners. The benefits of comparative literature, among others: (1) as the basis of the study of cross-cultural literary works, (2) as the basis or basis of language skills learning (Sprachfertigkeiten) namely: listening (Hӧrverstӓndnis-Sprechfertigkeit), reading-writing (Leseverstӓndnis-Schreibfertigkeit), (3) as a means of strengthening character education. As the basis for cross-cultural text studies, comparative literary works can be used to compare cultures between nations. As the basis of language learning, comparative literary works, has a uniqueness that is not possessed by other linguistic teaching materials, because the language of literary works has a connotative characteristic (figurative), contains majas, and prioritizes the characteristics of narrative discourse. Language in literary works prioritizes its main function, which is communicative function and suitable to be used to teach language skills. Furthermore, as a means of strengthening character education, literary works are worthful, which can be used to provide value strengthening for learners as the future generation of the nation.
