Our overview on subtitling and language learning is based on a fact and a question. The internationalisation of media and the development of Communication and Information technology (ICT) is bound to change our relationship to languages. But how can we improve our command of foreign languages? Memories and experiences of the classroom are not always positive. On the other hand, in today's world, we cannot avoid reading on screens. Since the beginning of the 1980 ’s, several studies have been carried out on the possible use of intralingual subtitles for language acquisition. We first review the types of studies and the scope of some of them, before considering specific empirical studies dealing with different language competences (vocabulary, listening comprehension, language transfer). Finally, we suggest new research topics, regarding the use of subtitling in natural and institutional language learning settings.

The Way

Stereotypes are often based on concepts of mentalities and ‘images of the self’ and the ‘other’. This is the way they appear in language. In modern didactics of foreign language the focus is mostly set on cultural contrast. Meanwhile a more profound analysis and reflexion on stereotypes is lacking. This piece of work intends to illustrate, based on practical examples (in German as a foreign language), how the use of literature can contribute to a critical and productive work and discussion on stereotypes. Recent research on intercultural didactics of foreign languages as well as empirical studies are applied in this part of a model concept of teaching literature through dialogue and interaction. Students learn to comment thoughtfully on ‘self’ and ‘foreign’ imagery. It is, from here on, a didactical proposal for different intercultural settings.

General Opinion

In this review five computer programs will be discussed: Vocabulary and Grammar (E. Franken), Dutch for Foreigners (G. Ruijl), Grammar of Dutch as a Second Language (S. de Vos), Edittraining ( . de Graauw and M. Stortelder), and a Dictionary of Dutch as a Second Language (M. Jagtman and M. Klijn). They were developed especially for Dutch as a second language. The programs are meant to be aids for different areas of language learning such as vocabulary, grammar and listening comprehension. Our general opinion about these programs is that they have not reached a mature level yet. The programs have problems concerning the functionality of the exercises and the amount and type of feedback given. Another problem is the fact that the programs do not integrate the different language skills. A positive aspect, on the other hand, is that the programs give the student and the teachers the possibilities for differentiation and self-education. The conclusion is, therefore, that these programs for Dutch as a second language need to be seriously improved, if we want the programs to be a true aid in language learning.

This brief concluding section summarizes the implications of analyzing Intralatino’a lives for Latino/a Studies. It identifies future research topics that can be framed as inter- and intralatino/a studies. Moving away from the limitations of Latinidad as a pan-ethnic signifier, the book exhorts readers to engage the horizontal hierarchies that inform social interactions and constructions of the other in Latino USA.

This paper discusses the findings of two empirical studies which investigated how students of English used two English learners’ dictionaries on CD-ROM. The outcome of these studies will indicate in what way such dictionaries can serve as reference and language learning tools. It is argued that an English learner’s dictionary on CD-ROM could be much more than an ‘ordinary’ reference work because it includes facilities that are not available in book form, such as audio and visual elements, exercises and games. The studies suggest, however, that a number of changes in content and design will have to be made in order to make such dictionaries more effective and beneficial to their users. Learners, on the other hand, may need to acquire special skills in order to benefit from all the information an English learner’s dictionary on CD-ROM contains.

L2 Vocabulary

AbstractThis article reviews the literature of multimedia glosses in computer assisted language learning (CALL) and their effects on L2 vocabulary acquisition during the past seventeen years. Several studies have touched on this area to examine the potential of multimedia in a CALL environment in aiding L2 vocabulary acquisition. In this review, the researchers investigate the studies that deal with different modes of multimedia annotations in a CALL environment. This article reviews the empirical studies of multimedia glosses in reading as well as in listening comprehension activities and discusses the factors under which these studies have been conducted and their impact on L2 vocabulary acquisition. The study aims to understand how multimedia glosses have been used in the past to support second language vocabulary acquisition and also to explore any evidence regarding how multimedia glosses in a CALL environment can enhance the acquisition of L2 vocabulary. Only empirical studies (18 studies published in international refereed journals and conference) have been reviewed exclusively. The article discusses the findings of the reviewed studies and recommends future research.

Correcting students’ language errors is always importance during teaching because of its significance for analyzing those errors and trying to provide students and teachers with adequate techniques and strategies to avoid or at least minimize the number of errors committed while practicing the foreign languages. This article will focus mainly on different ways in which an interest in language learner has revealed different aspects of the language learning process and suggested different ways of treating errors in our teaching. The objectives of the paper are mainly to understand the origins of an interest in errors that learners made and the related development of the concept of interlanguage , to appreciate the significance of learner error and how it might affect our methodology and to realize some of the causes of errors including positive and negative transfer. Furthermore, the article will explain the concept of systematic variability in learner language in order to become aware of some of the causes and significances of variability.

The Impact

The metacognitive listening strategy has an important role in the process of enhancing English listening comprehension. This article reviewed six empirical studies related to the impact of metacognitive listening strategy use while learners tried to improve their listening comprehension in different environments. The findings showed that learners used some metacognitive listening strategies to help them to comprehend the listening text tasks. It also indicated that various factors affect learners’ successful learning on their listening comprehension improvement. It can be concluded that the metacognitive listening strategy has had a positive impact while they are used regularly in the language learning process.

This chapter is an investigation into the effects of communication and Information Technology, the computer in particular, on our society and individual evaluating how computers may affect our life. A few thousand years ago Aristotle said that human beings are a social species. The omnipresent information and communication technology (ICT), on the other hand, has the power to disintegrate the conventional human communities into isolated individuals determining the potential problems that may influence our culture and social lives. This chapter discusses the changes that might have occurred in the society since the improvement of the Information Technology. Therefore, this discussion is an introductory investigation into such influence of ICT and its consequences on human societies.

Similar Stage

The study of Taiwan’s economy began to flourish in the 1960s right up until in the late 1980s. Most early publications discussed the larger issues or macro aspects of economic development during this time. After the 1990s, most publications on Taiwan’s economy covered other applied fields in micro aspects of the economy. The shift of research focus is probably due to: decelerated economic growth; the rising of new research topics due to socioeconomic and political developments such as environmental, labour and health economics; the availability of statistical data; and the advancement of applied econometrics for empirical studies. This article contends that future study of the Taiwanese economy will be more fruitful if the country is compared with other countries at a similar stage of development—in other words, if it is looked at from a comparative perspective.
