Intelligent Positioning

The purpose is to minimize color overflow and color patch generation in intelligent images and promote the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) intelligent image-positioning studio classroom in English teaching. Here, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm is introduced to extract and classify features for intelligent images. Then, the extracted features can position images in real-time. Afterward, the performance of the CNN algorithm is verified through training. Subsequently, two classes in senior high school are selected for experiments, and the influences of IoT intelligent image-positioning studio classroom on students’ performance in the experimental class and control class are analyzed and compared. The results show that the introduction of the CNN algorithm can optimize the intelligent image, accelerate the image classification, reduce color overflow, brighten edge color, and reduce color patches, facilitating intelligent image editing and dissemination. The feasibility analysis proves the effectiveness of the IoT intelligent image-positioning studio classroom, which is in line with students’ language learning rules and interests and can involve students in classroom activities and encourage self-learning. Meanwhile, interaction and cooperation can help students master learning strategies efficiently. The experimental class taught with the IoT intelligent positioning studio has made significant progress in academic performance, especially, in the post-test. In short, the CNN algorithm can promote IoT technologies and is feasible in English teaching.

This study described and examined on the current English language learning strategies used by Indonesian Students English Education Department enrolled at State Islamic University of Sultan SyarifKasim Riau in Indonesia. The subjects of the study were (99) male and female students still studying for their Undergraduate degree in English Education Department. The study investigates the frequency of strategies use among these students according to gender and proficiency variables. Proficiency is reflected by students’ learning level (i.e., sophomore, junior, senior), self-reported proficiency in English (i.e., the students’ university average in English courses) and language self-efficacy (i.e,. how good the students perceived themselves as English learners). The collecting data used Questionnaire adopted from Oxford (1990a), Mohammad Amin Embi (1996) danPolitzer (1993), interview lecturers about the language learning strategies used by students. The results of this study showed that State Islamic University of Sultan SyarifKasim, English Education Department used learning strategies with high to medium frequency, and that the highest rank (79.6%) was for Metacognitive strategies while the lowest (63%) was for compensation strategies and the others used cognitive, memory, affective and social. In general, the results showed that gender and proficiency had no significant differences on the use of strategies. Based on these findings, the researcher recommends that more training should be given in using Cognitive, Memory, Affective, social and Compensation strategies by embedding them into regular classroom activities or teaching and learning process

Traditional Grammar

The article focuses on the new language teaching and learning strategies offered by the use of corpora-based method. It gives an insight into how a corpus-based research incorporated into English grammar classroom activities not only clarifies the debatable aspects of traditional grammar rules but challenges students to launch their own language investigation, enlarging their professional scope and contributing to the development of their general and linguistic competences. The background for the pedagogical experiment was the need for a shift in the teacher–student model of interaction. To prove the benefits of semi-independent student’s research, the article covers four research cases performed by 3rd year students at Moscow State Linguistic University under the guidance of their English grammar lecturers. While working at their respective tasks, the students tried their hand at a proper piece of scientific study and mastered their skills at a new research instrument. Corpus data obtained, they worked in cooperation with their lecturers to arrive at conclusions reviving textbook materials. Thus, the rules and tendencies verified were no longer offered to the class as ready-made answers. The results of the experiment foreground the positive effect of students’ getting access to novel technologies transforming the traditional roles assigned in class.

This study explored the effectiveness of an autonomous learning support program implemented with 23 Japanese college students to promote self-instructed English learning outside the classroom. The program incorporated the following five learning activities: language learning strategies, setting goals, making plans, reflecting and self-evaluating, and receiving feedback from an English teacher, all of which have been considered significant elements of autonomous learning (Benson, 2011; Holec, 1981). At the end of the program, an original questionnaire was administered to the students. English proficiency test scores and evaluation sheets recorded by their teachers were also collected. Analyses of the data showed that: (1) the program had positive impacts on out-of-class learning, such as increasing student motivation, clarifying learning goals, increasing study time, and improving English proficiency; and (2) the students were likely to have difficulties following their study plans when they had less contact with their teachers and classmates. 外国語教育では様々な自律学習支援が教員によって実施されている。本論では日本人EFL大学生23名を対象とした教室外での自律学習支援プログラムの有効性を調査した。プログラムでは先行研究に基づいて、(A)英語学習方略の紹介、(B)学習目標の設定、(C)学習計画の作成、(D)学習の反省と自己評価、(E)教員によるフィードバックの5つの活動を実践した。プログラム終了後、参加者に質問紙を配布し、各活動の有用性や自身の自律学習の変化について尋ねた。さらに教員による学習者評価シートや英語能力テストスコアのデータも収集した。分析の結果、本プログラムの有効性として、参加者の学習意欲の向上、学習目標の明確化、学習時間の増加、英語能力の向上が示唆された。一方、計画的学習の遂行は、教員やクラスメートとの接触が少ない時期に計画の遂行度が低いことが確認された。
