  En los últimos años es frecuente la impartición de la educación física (EF) en lengua inglesa, lo que puede influir sobre las percepciones que los alumnos[1] tienen sobre dicha asignatura. En el presente estudio se analizó el efecto de una metodología bilingüe, el code-switching, sobre la percepción de la comunicación docente y la motivación. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 94 estudiantes de entre 12 y 14 años (M= 13.76; DT=.86). El grupo experimental (n=46) estuvo formado por dos grupos pertenecientes a formas diferentes de implantación del bilingüismo (programa y sección) y el grupo control (n= 47) por dos grupos equivalentes a los anteriores. Previo a la intervención, se realizaron entrevistas a profesorado de EF; los cuestionarios pre y post fueron administrados al alumnado al inicio y al fin de la misma. Tras la intervención se hallaron diferencias en la motivación intrínseca de uno de los grupos experimentales. Los resultados sugieren que la percepción de la comunicación docente por parte de los alumnos no difiere en función de que la clase se imparta íntegramente en inglés o utilizando el code-switching. Se discuten las implicaciones educativas de estos hallazgos.  Abstract. Over the last few years, the teaching of PE in English language has become frequent which could influence the perceptions that students have about this subject. In the present study the effect of a bilingual methodology, code-switching, on perceptions of teaching communication and motivation was analyzed. The sample was composed by 94 students aging from 12 to 14 (M=13,76; SD= .86). Experimental group (n=46) was formed by two classes with different bilingual programs (programa and sección) and control group (n=47), by other two equivalent groups. After the intervention significant differences in intrinsic motivation were found in one of the experimental groups. The findings suggest that the perceptions of teaching communication do not differ between students taught completely in English and students taught through code-switching. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

Ensayo Clínico

Objetivo: Describir el efecto de una dosis de ejercicio gradual y progresiva de bajo impacto cardiovascular sobre el autoconcepto físico en un grupo de adultos mayores.Métodos: Ensayo Clínico Aleatorizado y Controlado con intervención simple ciego en dos grupos equivalentes (experimental y control), bajo un modelo de mediciones repetidas. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 20 sujetos por grupo. Se seleccionaron adultos mayores de 60 a 70 años, de ambos sexos, sin riesgo cardiaco; se excluyeron adultos mayores con patologías que pudieran causar limitaciones en la funcionalidad músculo-esquelética o cardiopulmonar. La intervención consistió en la realización de ejercicio de forma gradual y progresiva, 3 veces por semana durante 10 semanas. El indicador para evaluar el autoconcepto físico fue el Instrumento de Auto descripción (SDQ), con un patrón de respuesta tipo Likert.Resultados: Ingresaron 45 sujetos, grupo control 22 adultos (edad 66.6±6.14) y grupo experimental 23 adultos (edad 67.0±7.19); completaron el programa 38 adultos. En ambos grupos predominaron las mujeres (66.7%), nivel socioeconómico medio (73.3%) y escolaridad básica (44.6%). No existió diferencia significativa entre los grupos antes de la intervención, en contraste, después de la intervención existió diferencia significativa entre grupos, lo que resultó en un incremento del autoconcepto físico en el grupo experimental y un descenso del autoconcepto físico en el grupo control.Conclusión: La intervención de ejercicio controlado, gradual, progresivo y de bajo impacto cardiovascular, de tres sesiones por semana durante 10 semanas probó ser efectiva para aumentar el autoconcepto físico en el grupo experimental de adultos. Objective: To describe the effect of a dose of gradual and progressive exercise of low cardiovascular impact on physical self- concept in a group of seniors. Methods: Randomized, controlled clinical trial with a blinded experiment in two equivalent groups (experimental one and control one), under a repeated model of measures. The sample consisted of 20 individuals per group. Male and female seniors from 60 to 70 years old with no heart risk, were selected. Seniors with pathologies that could cause limitations on the musculoskeletal function cardiopulmonary functionality were excluded. The intervention consisted of performing exercise gradually and progressively, 3 times a week for 10 weeks. The indicator for assessing physical self-concept was the Self-Description Questionnaire (SDQ), with a Likert response pattern.Results: 45 individuals were taken; control group 22 adults (age 66.6 ± 6.14) and experimental group 23 adults (age 67.0 ± 7.19); 38 adults completed the program. In both groups, women predominated (66.7%), medium socioeconomic level (73.3%) and basic schooling (44.6%). There was no significant difference between the groups before the intervention, in contrast, after the intervention there was a significant difference between them, which resulted in an increase in physical self-concept in the experimental group and a decrease in physical self-concept in the control group.Conclusion: The intervention of controlled, gradual, progressive and low cardiovascular impact exercise of three sessions per week for 10 weeks proved to be effective in increasing physical self-concept in the experimental group of adults.

Purpose Developing attention-aware systems and interfaces based on eye tracking technology could revolutionize mainstream human–computer interaction to make the interaction between human beings and computers more intuitive, effective and immersive than can be achieved traditionally using a computer mouse. This paper aims to propose an eye-controlled interactive reading system (ECIRS) that uses human eyes instead of the traditional mouse to control digital text to support screen-based digital reading. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a quasi-experimental design to examine the effects of an experimental group and a control group of learners who, respectively, used the ECIRS and a mouse-controlled interactive reading system (MCIRS) to conduct their reading of two types of English-language text online – pure text and Q&A-type articles on reading comprehension, cognitive load, technology acceptance, and reading behavioural characteristics. Additionally, the effects of learners with field-independent (FI) and field-dependence (FD) cognitive styles who, respectively, used the ECIRS and MCIRS to conduct their reading of two types of English-language text online – pure text and Q&A-type articles on reading comprehension are also examined. Findings Analytical results reveal that the reading comprehension of learners in the experimental group significantly exceeded those in the control group for the Q&A article, but the difference was insignificant for the pure text article. Moreover, the ECIRS improved the reading comprehension of field-independent learners more than it did that of field-dependent learners. Moreover, neither the cognitive loads of the two groups nor their acceptance of the technology differed significantly, whereas the reading time of the experimental group significantly exceeded that of the control group. Interestingly, for all articles, the control group of learners read mostly from top to bottom without repetition, whereas most of the learners in the experimental group read most paragraphs more than once. Clearly, the proposed ECIRS supports deeper digital reading than does the MCIRS. Originality/value This study proposes an emerging ECIRS that can automatically provide supplementary information to a reader and control a reading text based on a reader’s eye movement to replace the widely used mouse-controlled reading system on a computer screen to effectively support digital reading for English language learning. The implications of this study are that the highly interactive reading patterns of digital text with ECIRS support increase motivation and willingness to learn while giving learners a more intuitive and natural reading experience as well as reading an article online with ECIRS support guides learners’ attention in deeper digital reading than does the MCIRS because of simultaneously integrating perceptual and cognitive processes of selection, awareness and control based on human eye movement.

The study aimed at investigating the effect of using WhatsApp-based learning activities on developing idiom knowledge among Saudi university English as a foreign language (EFL) students compared to conventional method. It also examined the students’ perceptions towards the application of WhatsApp in idiom-learning. The rationale for conducting this study is to provide students with useful learning tools that may improve their idiomatic knowledge and also help them to practice English idioms anytime and anywhere outside the classroom. It also aimed to help teachers to streamline EFL instruction, making it more efficient, effective, and user-friendly. As such, the main research questions are what is the effect of WhatsApp-based learning activities on developing university female EFL students? and what are Saudi female EFL students’ perceptions on learning idioms using WhatsApp?. To answer these questions, 70 EFL female students in the Department of English Language and literature at Imam Mohammad ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU) involved in the study. They were assigned into two groups; experimental group, who was taught English idioms via WhatsApp-based learning activities, and control group, who was taught English idioms conventionally in classroom. Two instruments were used to collect the data; a pre-post idioms achievement test and a post-study questionnaire. The findings demonstrated that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in idioms achievement post-test. Moreover, the results showed that the majority of the experimental group had a positive perception towards learning English idioms via WhatsApp.
