LANGUAGE ATTRITION AND EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES by YU Zhonggen Pdf

Starting from studies on language attrition, this book goes deeper into the area of educational technologies. Considering that language attrition might be a reverse process of language acquisition, proper use of educational technologies could promote language acquisition but slow down or diminish language attrition. This book attempts to combine the threshold hypothesis and regression hypothesis with use of educational technologies so that language attrition could be hindered. Chinese Mandarin Attrition among Tertiary Students in Malaysia was identified to pave a solid way for researches on both threshold hypothesis and regression hypothesis. Language attrition in terms of mandarin Chinese, the threshold and regression hypotheses were also discussed in this monograph. This book also covers topics related to educational technologies such as clickers, QQ, multimedia, together with blended learning and indicators of satisfaction. This book includes in-depth reviews of literature and plentiful data to support the studies, which is worth reading. Readers will acquire something new in the fields of language attrition and educational technologies since few studies have been conducted combining these both areas.

Policies, Practices, and Protocols for the Implementation of Technology Into Language Learning by El Shaban, Abir,Abobaker, Reima Pdf

Many research studies show that the use of technology inside and outside classrooms makes teaching and learning more engaging and motivating. Technology can provide learners with endless opportunities and can improve the learning experience, simplify access to educational resources, enhance autonomous learning, meet individual learning needs, and prepare the learners for future career success when using it to foster 21st-century skills. However, the range and number of technologies currently available can yield challenges for educators if they do not know how to effectively integrate them into their teaching pedagogy. Policies, Practices, and Protocols for the Implementation of Technology Into Language Learning discusses the skills necessary for successful technology use in education and examines technology tools that assist in teaching different languages with a focus on English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Covering a range of topics such as reading, writing, and integrated language skills, this book is ideal for instructors, policymakers, administrators, researchers, practitioners, academicians, and students.

E-Collaboration Technologies and Strategies for Competitive Advantage Amid Challenging Times by Zhao, Jingyuan,Richards, Joseph Pdf

E-collaboration is a tool that breaks the boundaries of activities within and between organizations. E-collaboration technologies are making it easier than ever for people to work together no matter where they happen to be. Succeeding with collaboration at a level where it represents a competitive advantage requires a broad approach. Internal social networks can circumvent bureaucratic boundaries and facilitate information sharing activities among individuals across hierarchies and divisions or departments. This allows organizations to acquire resources or competencies from external sources that otherwise would be difficult or expensive to access. Accordingly, organizations focus more on their own areas of competence and gain a competitive advantage by acquiring richer content and better solutions in a creative and cost-effective way. Challenging times can provide new opportunities that need to be detected at the right time. There must be many other sources of competitive advantages which should support the main source of competitive value. Competitive advantage may be gained if the organization is able to find sources of competitive advantage in time of economic crises. Organizations have rapidly deployed technology solutions, such as collaboration tools and cloud computing, which enable their employees to work remotely and continue these organizational operations, especially during times of crisis. E-Collaboration Technologies and Strategies for Competitive Advantage Amid Challenging Times focuses on e-collaboration technologies, strategies, and solutions from a perspective of organizational competitive advantage, including e-collaboration technologies’ situation and solutions, innovation systems, competition and strategies, marketing, and growth capabilities. The book presents a full understanding on e-collaboration technologies, strategies, and solutions in organizations, and provides insight for how to develop e-collaboration technologies, strategies, and solutions more generally so as to simultaneously leverage potential benefit and guard against potential risk, promoting organizational competitive advantage amid challenging times. This book is ideally intended for policymakers, government officials, corporate heads of firms, managers, managing directors, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students seeking information on the e-collaboration technologies being employed in businesses in times of crisis.

Face[t]s of First Language Loss by Sandra G. Kouritzin Pdf

This book contributes to the understanding of first-language loss in both immigrant and indigenous communities in (at least) three ways. First, it provides insight into the process of language loss and the factors contributing to it. Second, it attempts to define, from an insider perspective, what it means to "lose" a language. Third, it analyzes the perceived consequences of first language loss in terms of social, academic, emotional, and economic factors--an approach previously lacking in research on language loss. Most studies of first language loss are impersonal, even when they tell emotional stories. This polyphonic book about language loss and imperfect learning of heritage languages tells the inside story. Easy to read and yet academic, it gives voice to five different storytellers who relate the histories of their first language loss and analyzes themes from 21 life-history case studies of adults who had lost their first languages while learning English. The stories in this book make a compelling argument that heritage languages should be preserved, that ESL should be about developing bilinguals not English monolinguals. Important reading for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in ESL and bilingual education, multicultural education, cultural studies, and sociology, this book will also interest qualitative researchers as an example of a unique form of both doing and writing research.

Since the prototype of clicker device was created and developed in 1990’s at Pennsylvania State University, there have been numerous arguments on its effectiveness. This book reveals a clear picture of studies on clickers and paves a solid foundation for future studies on the use of technologies in education. It is concluded that satisfaction is positively correlated with interaction, self-efficacy and self-regulation in clickers-aided EFL class without statistically significant gender differences. Learner attitude, technology anxiety, teachers’ prompt feedback, flexibility of Clickers-aided EFL Flipped Class perceive usefulness and ease of technology and exert significant influence on learner satisfaction. The flipped business English writing classroom brings about better academic achievements and causes more satisfaction than the traditional one. Males are significantly more satisfied and achieved higher with Clickers-aided EFL Flipped Class than females. Videos, initial EFL proficiency, learner attitudes and motivation could exert significant influence on EFL proficiency and learner satisfaction.
