Exploratory Practice: understanding classroom life with a Youth and Adult Education group and their teacher

In this research, intelligibility was built regarding the teaching-learning process of English language for a Youth and Adult Education group and their teacher and the influence that the reflective process has on the construction of beliefs about learning languages and about learning itself. In this article we will reveal the details of how the reflective process was brought to a group of students and their teacher during such research, in addition to reporting relevant aspects of the opportunity that the researcher had to experience with the research participants the ethical, collaborative and inclusive proposal for the research of Exploratory Practice, creating a discursive space so that the research participants could intensify or enrich their understandings about life in the classroom. The proposal of this work, which is in line with the scope of Applied Linguistics, although it aims at building local understandings, can help teachers in the area of English language teaching to reflect on their practices, as well as encouraging them to listen and look more in tune with their students when they encounter teaching situations in which they do not have the learning return they expect from them.

Optimizing semantic error detection through weighted federated machine learning: A comprehensive approach

Recently, the improvement of network technology and the spread of digital documents have made the technology for automatically correcting English texts very important. In English language processing, finding and fixing mistakes in the meaning of words is a very interesting and important job. It is also important to fix wrong data in cleaning data. Usually, systems that find errors need the user to set up rules or statistical information. To build a good system for finding mistakes in meaning, it must be able to spot errors and odd details. Many things can make the meaning of a sentence unclear. Therefore, this study suggests using a system that finds semantic errors with the help of weighted federated machine learning (SED-WFML). This system also connects to the web ontology's classes and features that are important for the area of knowledge in natural language processing (NLP) text documents. This helps identify correct and incorrect sentences in the document, which can be used for many purposes like checking documents automatically, translating, and more. During its training and checking stages, the new model identified correct and incorrect sentences with an accuracy of 95.6% and 94.8%, respectively, which is better than earlier methods.

CHALLENGES TODAY IN PROCESS IMPROVEMENT LANGUAGE TRAINING IN THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE

Today’s challenges require Ukrainian servicemen and soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to be fluent in English, since the instructions for using foreign-made weapons, as well as the process of education and training to use these weapons are carried out in English.
 The main goal of this work is to determine promising methods and forms of language training in military structures, both out of the official activities and in the course of independent work.
 Today, the ranks of the Armed Forces face two urgent tasks that need to be solved:
 
 the first task is the urgent acquision of the English language by servicemen and senior staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for training in the use of foreign-made weapons;
 the second task is the improvement and modernization of the English language learning process in Higher Military Educational Institutions in order to increase the level of English language proficiency.
 
 The problem of first training was the insufficient command of the English language by the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the training.
 The solution of the second problem is not as critical in time as the solution of the first problem, therefore, currently, various programs, distance courses are being developed, and innovative teaching methods are being implemented in order to improve the improvement process of English language by students of higher educational institutions and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. An important issue on the agenda is the introduction of the latest forms and methods of teaching a foreign language and special techniques and methods of teaching.
 Studying a foreign language will provide an opportunity for various branches of the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to freely and professionally conduct a dialogue with representatives of various professions and partner countries from the NATO military-political alliance.

Innovations in Urdu Sentiment Analysis Using Machine and Deep Learning Techniques for Two-Class Classification of Symmetric Datasets

Many investigations have performed sentiment analysis to gauge public opinions in various languages, including English, French, Chinese, and others. The most spoken language in South Asia is Urdu. However, less work has been carried out on Urdu, as Roman Urdu is also used in social media (Urdu written in English alphabets); therefore, it is easy to use it in English language processing software. Lots of data in Urdu, as well as in Roman Urdu, are posted on social media sites such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. This research focused on the collection of pure Urdu Language data and the preprocessing of the data, applying feature extraction, and innovative methods to perform sentiment analysis. After reviewing previous efforts, machine learning and deep learning algorithms were applied to the data. The obtained results were compared, and hybrid methods were also recommended in this research, enabling new avenues to conduct Urdu language data sentiment analysis.

Unburdening the Pedagogy of the Oppressed: A Case Study of ELT Classrooms at University Level in South Punjab

Recently, the concept of Critical thinking got much significance in the teaching and learning process. Thinking creatively and critically in the English language beckons our representation in different domains of development as well. The present study is aimed to investigate the on-going teaching-learning process of English Language Teaching at University Level in South Punjab from the perspective of critical thinking. The theoretical insights have been taken from Freire’s Banking concept of education in his seminal work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed (2018). The findings of the study reveal that our ELT classrooms are lacking the creativity and critical thinking at large. Further in our classrooms, the Banking Model of teaching is being practiced where a student remains passive and the teacher is considered as the ultimate source of knowledge. It points out that our teaching and learning process is moving on some faulty lines which need revisions and amendments. It is suggested that the Problem Posing Model of teaching and learning may be adopted in our ELT Classrooms so that our graduates at the university level may think critically and independently.

The Use of Social Media in Facilitating the Teaching and Learning Process: A Case Study of Undergraduates at University of Bisha in Saudi Arabia

The study explores the use of social media in accelerating the teaching and learning process of English language. It was conducted in the Girls college of Al Namas, University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia. The electronic questionnaire consisted of multiple closed questions to acquire both qualitative and quantitative results. The participants are undergraduate students of the English Department of the above-mentioned college. The data was analyzed using pie chart and histogram. During the period of teaching English language, we, as lecturers, noticed that the students are very efficient in the use of modern technology, but unfortunately, they do not use them in the target language, instead they use all the social media networks in their mother tongue, i.e, Arabic. This way even being coherent to the modern technology they do not use it to improve their second language skill. Their disposition of using Arabic language everywhere and everything creates a big hindrance for them to avail the benefits of social media networks in learning English language. Through this paper we tried to motivate the students to enhance their capabilities to utilize social media network in boosting their English language skills. At the same time, we have tried to make the English language as an interesting subject to facilitate the teaching and learning process.

Do Monolingual and Bilingual Speakers Differ in Language Processing? Evidence from Behavior and ERPs

The present study was designed to empirically examine the effects of bilingualism on language processing. Participants consisted of 20 English monolingual and 20 Spanish-English bilingual speakers. All participants were required to complete an English language processing task consisting of categorically related versus unrelated word pairs, and behavioral and electrophysiological data were recorded and analyzed. Overall, results yielded a congruency effect indicating that participants were more accurate in identifying incongruent word pairs than congruent word pairs. There were significant interactions between congruency and bilingualism on behavioral and electrophysiological variables, and monolingual participants outperformed their bilingual counterparts on accuracy and reaction time measures. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Teaching EFL Speaking to the Students at the Tertiary Level: A study at the Private Universities in Bangladesh

Primarily, communication takes place through speech. Hence, in the teaching-learning process of English language, teaching speaking skill has attracted the greatest level of interest. Teaching speaking English has been established as a professional and academic field at all levels, especially at the tertiary level in Bangladesh. However, the nature of teaching speaking has undergone some considerable changes in recent years. The study tried to focus on the effectiveness of the methods followed by the English language teachers and the appropriateness of the materials used by the teachers while teaching EFL speaking to the students at the tertiary level in the private universities of Bangladesh. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with 6 English teachers teaching English at the private universities located in Dhaka city. The study shows that teaching speaking to the students studying at the tertiary level is really a challenging task. Challenges mainly lie in inappropriate curriculums, unavailability of teaching materials, lack of research, traditional classroom environment and so on.

EFL Teachers’ Attitude toward Code Switching: A Turkish Setting

Code switching, that is, the alternative use by bilinguals of two or more languages in the same discourse, has been the focus of attention in regard with foreign language learning and teaching. The fact, however, is that the reasons foreign language teachers utilize this strategy is not the same, and various kinds and manners of code switching have been noticed. What’s more, it can be employed for a whole range of different instructional cognitive, affective, and behavioral purposes. Different skills and components of language can be fostered through the application of code switching in case the proper meticulous care and attention is given to the tasks. In terms of affective variables, it can remove students’ emotional barriers such as anxiety, lack of self confidence and weak self esteem in the act of language learning. In this study, an effort was made to see functions, manner, reasons, and contributions of Code-switching to the process of English language teaching from teachers’ point of view. To this end, 20 teachers from the two Turkish universities responded to interviews questions on Code Switching. The analysis of the answers showed some commonalties and differences in their attitudes towards the inclusion of this concept in language teaching classes.

LDC-1

During the 1970s, a number of systems providing limited English-language processing capabilities were developed to permit computer access by casual or untrained users. The authors interest is in adapting and extending techniques developed for these systems, especially those used in database query systems and their own English-language programming language system (NLC), for use in office environments. This paper describes the layered domain class system LDC, a state-of-the-art natural language processor whose major goals are (1) to provide english-language retrieval capabilities for medium-sized office domains that have been stored on the computer as text-edited files, as opposed to more restrictive database structure; and (2) to eliminate the need to call in the system designer when extensions into new domains are desired, without sacrificing the depth or reliability of the interface. In this paper the authors (a) provide an overview of LDC, including sample inputs; (b) briefly discuss the role of each module of the system, with special attention to provisions for users to adapt the system to deal with new types of data; and (c) consider the relation of our system to other formal and natural language interfaces that are in use or under development. 77 references.

A top-down language analyzer

Parsing is the process which matches a given input against prestored possibilities (a grammar) to discover the structure of acceptable candidates. It is relevant to both natural and artificial languages--both English and command or query languages. Although parsing is necessary to computer processing of all languages, and the parser described in this paper (PARSYN) is a general-purpose top-down parser, the focus of this paper is its applicability as a computationally efficient processor of natural language. In natural language, a grammar is taken to cover a subset of the language; parsing proceeds both top-down looking for constituents and bottom-up replacing the words by syntactic categories for processing. Since procedural formulation is equivalent to an ATN, complete computational coverage of all natural language parsers can be obtained with template processing and an ATN. PARSYN is a computational accelerator for parsing which provides this coverage. The algorithm of PARSYN is a Recursive Transition Network (RTN) with interrupt capability; the combination can serve as an ATN or template processor. Yet, PARSYN is simple enough to be attached to a microprocessor based English-language processing system ( — BE—, “microBE”, for micro-processor-Based English). It is flexible enough to provide pattern-matching, template processing and parsing all with the same formulation, bringing these facilities to the micro-system level efficiently and economically.
