Mobile-assisted Language Learning(MALL) Exploration: Implementation in Extensive Reading subject for English Education study Program

With the relatively low habit of reading, Indonesia created the urgent condition. The same problem actually happen in Universitas Muhammadiyah Sampit, especially in English educcation study program.Remebering how crucial reading in development of Language, the concrete way out deriving the will of reading of students is needed. One of the way out in UMSA bring the bright perspectively in both side, even students and lecturer in the class. This study aims to find out Description of Using MALL in the instructional process. The focus of this study is the extensive reading lecture in English Education Study Program in UMSA. The researchers use a type of qualitative research which is Case Study. Then, the instruments of this study were Interview and Documentation. Primary data were collected merely through interview; however, it has been taken deeply on the collecting data. The secondary data in this study are sources related to the problems in the object of this paper. The implementation of the MALL in this study was using Wattpad mobile apps as teaching media. Findings consists of the use, the features and the assessment of Wattpad as the learning medium in the class. The reason the supporting lecturer chose to use Wattpad was based on the needs of students in the Extensive Reading class. With Wattpad students can explore various uploaded literary works concluding on building and creating reading materials independently. In addition, students can collaborate with other students in building their knowledge and solving problems together.

How Students Consume Online Lectures: Not Everything Needs to be a Video

As students and technology change, the way teachers teach must, at least to some extent, change too. One change that is evident in both students and technology is an increase in the use of instructional videos. Traditional-aged college students today have grown up in an age where streaming videos from various formats including free social media and paid formal services have become a standard way to consume information. To that end, there are growing expectations on faculty to meet students where they are and create our own videos for delivering course content. The goal of this study is to examine how effective recorded videos are, in comparison to written lectures, at delivering course content and helping students be successful. Specifically, this study presented students with two different options for receiving lecture content in first- and second-year political science courses at a suburban, midwestern, community college. Students could receive lecture material by either reading lecture notes or by watching videos of the instructor going over the notes–or both. By using both quantitative and qualitative measures, this study examined how students consumed lecture material and compared the differences between their academic outcomes and perceptions of both the course and their instructor.

The Dilemma and Outlet for the Teaching of English Intensive Reading in the New Media Era

In the new media era where impetuous atmosphere and “shallow reading” prevail, the value of traditional English intensive reading was seriously underestimated. It is mainly manifested in the surface structure of the teacher’s explanation, students’ scarce awareness about intensive reading, and the disconnection between practice and the content of the teaching and in intensive reading lectures is disconnected classes. The key to solving the problem is that teachers guide students to pay attention to the accumulation of information, use new media resources to strengthen the effects of reading input, and use the combination of multiple input pathways to improve the traditional and single intensive teaching mode, and cultivate students’ awareness of intensive reading.

French sinology development (13‒21 centuries): historical aspect

French sinology takes a special place in the history of the sinological studies development. It was France that became the first country where the transformation of missionary sinology, which was common among a limited circle of researchers (mainly in a religious sphere), into the academic scientific discipline, which had already been taught and studied at a professional level in academic institutions, occurred. The Parisian type of sinology used to dominate the entire world for a long time, including such powerful centers of Chinese studies as Germany, Great Britain, the USA, and China itself. The conducted historiographical analysis of the topic allows pointing out the insufficient coverage by the local researchers of the evolution of French sinology historical development as a whole process that had lasted for almost 800 years. This fact prompted the authors to reveal the mentioned topic. The purpose of the article is to investigate the historical development of French sinology during the 13th–21st centuries. In the course of the work, both general scientific methods and special ones were used, among which the priority was given to historical, chronological and problem-thematic methods. The analytical method and methods of grouping and typology were also applied, that made it possible to present the material in a logically complete manner. In order to form a complete picture of sinology development in France, the authors singled out and analyzed three historical periods covering the entire history of Chinese studies development, starting from its birth and flourishment to the process of stagnation. Thus, within the time limits of the first period, the process a peculiar scientific base of knowledge about China accumulating, as well as the development of missionary sinology, was investigated, and it was proved that it became a kind of bridge between the protosinological stage and academic sinology, which secularized the achievements of its predecessors in the 19th century and turned into a scientific academic discipline. Within the time limits of the second period, the scientific achievements of a whole galaxy of French scholars were analyzed, namely, Edouard Chavannes, Marcel Granet, Henri Paul Gaston Maspero, and others, and it was concluded that the Sinological school in France was at the peak of its development, and the views of its representatives gained priority among sinologists all over the world. Regarding the third period, the authors express the opinion that modern French sinology has lost its leading position in the scientific world, and the search for the latest methodological approaches and methods (primarily multidisciplinary with the use of digital technologies) is primarily an attempt to achieve parity with the leading centers of Chinese studies. Factual research material can be used for further study of the history of sinology development, as well as for writing generalising papers on Chinese studies, reading lecture courses, special courses and special seminars.

DUAL EDUCATION AS A MEAN OF ENSURING PROPER QUALITY OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN MODERN UKRAINE

Formulation of the problem. Qualitative training of teachers, in particular, teachers of mathematics, has always been and is the primary task of a pedagogical university. Currently, in pedagogical universities of Ukraine, master's training takes place in the traditional way, which involves reading lectures, conducting practical, laboratory and seminar classes, as well as practice at school. However, the traditional master's training scheme cannot be adequately provided always, because a significant part of students forced to work at school, and therefore do not attend the required number of lectures and practical classes, and practice at school is reduced to "practicing" it at the workplace. One of the effective ways to solve this problem is to create an effective system of qualitative combination of theoretical and practical training of future teachers with professional activities even during their studies at the university. Materials and methods. To achieve the goal of the work, we use the theoretical method of analyzing methodological literature on the researched problem. We also use some empirical methods: surveying students regarding their employment, observing the educational process of teacher training in pedagogical universities, analyzing the educational achievements of future mathematics teachers in the field of their theoretical and practical training. In this article, we also use a set of methods of scientific knowledge: comparative analysis to clarify different views on the problem; systematization and generalization in order to draw conclusions and formulate recommendations regarding directions for improving the methodology of training future mathematics teachers; summarizing the pedagogical experience and observations of the authors. Results. To reduce the main shortcomings of the traditional forms and methods of training future specialists, to overcome the gap between the teacher training program at the university and the current requirements of school practice, and to increase the quality indicators of the training of qualified personnel, taking into account the requirements of employers, with the aim of acquiring education seekers experience in the practical application of practical skills and their social and professional adaptation to the conditions of real practical activity is possible, in our opinion, by introducing a dual form of education. Solving the problem is envisaged through the implementation of a set of measures to modernize the structure, content, technologies and methods of training mathematics teachers, including the development and implementation of mutually beneficial partnership models between higher education institutions, employers and students, aimed at increasing the effectiveness of practical training of future teachers for the practical application of acquired knowledge and skills, their social and professional adaptation in the conditions of real professional activity. Conclusions. We are aware that the dual form of education is not the only way to overcome the crisis of mathematics teacher training in Ukraine. However, in our opinion, it is this form that allows to harmoniously combine the theoretical and practical training of the future teacher, will contribute to the establishment of mechanisms of close interaction between institutions of higher education that prepare teachers and institutions of general secondary education to take into account the needs of schools and the requirements of employers for professional teacher training. The introduction of a dual form of education will help to change the attitude towards one's own profession among teachers themselves, since the process of passing on experience from a teacher-mentor to a student ensures awareness of the necessity of one's own profession both for the entire society and for the next generations of teachers.

Is there order in the mess? A single paper meta-analysis approach to identification of predictors of success in learning analytics

ABSTRACT Predictors of student academic success do not always replicate well across different learning designs, subject areas, or educational institutions. This suggests that characteristics of a particular discipline and learning design have to be carefully considered when creating predictive models in order to scale up learning analytics. This study aimed to examine if and to what extent frequently used predictors of study success are portable across a homogenous set of courses. The research was conducted in an integrated blended problem-based curriculum with trace data (n = 2,385 students) from 50 different course offerings across four academic years. We applied the statistical method of single paper meta-analysis to combine correlations of several indicators with students’ success. Total activity and the forum indicators exhibited the highest prediction intervals, where the former represented proxies of the overall engagement with online tasks, and the latter with online collaborative learning activities. Indicators of lecture reading (frequency of lecture view) showed statistically insignificant prediction intervals and, therefore, are less likely to be portable across course offerings. The findings show moderate amounts of variability both within iterations of the same course and across courses. The results suggest that the use of the meta-analytic statistical method for the examination of study success indicators across courses with similar learning design and subject area can offer valuable quantitative means for the identification of predictors that reasonably well replicate and consequently can be reliably portable in the future.

Critical Reading Skills of the Descriptive Genre Through E-Learning

It has been found that in reading lectures, students at Bung Hatta University had difficulty understanding the text because they did not know about the genre of the text. This is because students study theory more than they practice reading. The purpose of this research was to describe the critical reading ability of Indonesian Language Education (Pindo) FKIP students at Bung Hatta University by applying the descriptive text genre. Theories proposed by Akaaya, Haromi and Akin were employed. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The research subjects were 23 students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program, FKIP Bung Hatta University, Padang, class of 2020/2021.

An Analysis of the English Language Needs of Customer Contact and Secretarial Operation Coordination Trainees: Some Selected Technical and Vocational Colleges in Ethiopia

This study is mainly conducted to find out the English language needs of Customer Contact and Secretarial Operation Coordination Level IV trainees. To achieve this objective, purposive sampling technique was used to select content area teachers while comprehensive sampling technique was used to include trainees and English language teachers. A survey research was the design of this study. To this end, questionnaire and interview were employed to collect data. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis were used in the study. The findings of the study showed that writing, speaking, reading and listening skills are prioritized by trainees according to their order. In the area of micro skills, listening to lectures to take notes and listening to class discussions were showed as highly needed micro-skills. With regard to speaking activities, asking and answering questions and participating in whole class discussion were highly needed speaking micro-skills. Reading reference books and reading lecture notes, writing different project works like term papers, assignments and sample personal and business letters were identified as the most important speaking and writing micro-skills. Vocabulary was found more important than grammar. Most trainees reported that they find asking and answering questions and writing different project works like term papers and assignments, sample personal and business letters difficult. The reason for this might be because the courses offered are inefficient to help them develop these skills. Disparity was also found between their language problems and the courses they take. Finally, based on these findings, recommendations were also forwarded.

Little-known pages of the history of the development of international legal thought: Ludwig Jacob (1759–1827)

This article explores the contribution to the development of international law science by the outstanding German philosopher and economist Ludwig Kondratievich Jacob (Ludwig Heinrich von Jacob) (1759–1827), who for some time worked as a professor of diplomacy and political economy at Kharkiv University. L. Jacob's contribution to the development of the science of international law is not limited to reading lectures on positive international law, which was taught at the Department of Diplomacy and Political Economy in the first decades of Kharkiv University. L. K. Jacob prepared and published a series of textbooks on logic, grammar, psychology, aesthetics, rhetoric, political economy and law under the general title «Philosophy Course for High Schools of the Russian Empire», the seventh part of which was devoted to the problems of natural law, including international law. International Law Jacob interpreted it as part of natural law, which determines relations between independent states. Among the fundamental rights of the nation he distinguishes: 1) the right to independence, which includes the right to take possession of things that did not belong to anyone (it is clear that the author here justifies the right to take over the so-called res nullius, which was widely used in international law at the time, 2) the right to independence from any other nation; 3) the right to formal equality with any other nation. Considerable attention in his textbook L. K. Jakob attributes the right to international treaties, though he sees no distinction between treaties that nation conclude with other nations and with foreign individuals. Some emphasis is also placed on diplomatic law in the textbook. In the work of L. К. Jakob quite comprehensive doctrine of the right to war, which, again, is quite typical for proponents of natural law in the science of international law, is based on the identification of relations between independent nations (states) with relations between individuals in the natural state. His international legal doctrine is literally imbued with the ideas of the humanization of war – he strongly opposes treachery and the use of such means of war, which cause the enemy extreme pain, requires respect for the rights of prisoners of war.On the last pages of his textbook L. K. Jacob is installing an application in which he proposes the idea of uniting the independent states into a confederation, provided that each of them maintains complete independence in their internal affairs. In this project it is easy to see the impact of the ideas of the treatise «To Eternal Peace» by I. Kant, a consistent follower of the philosophical doctrine of which L. K. Jacob performed in his philosophical writings.

Al-Farabi in the studies of French philosophers

In this article we are talking about the study of philosophy of al-Farabi in the studies of French researchers. The aim of the article is to study and consider the views of French researchers on the philosophical system of al-Farabi from the scientific and philosophical point of view. French researchers like Etienne Gilson, Baron Carra de Vaux, Henry Corbin, Alain de Libera, Philippe Vallat and others have an attractive study of the philosophy of al-Farabi. The study of the point of view of French philosophers shows that they basically consider al-Farabi to be a religious thinker and a representative of Sufism. They affirm in their studies that al-Farabi was not just a follower of Aristotle, but a philosopher, with a doctrine that is not only different from Aristotle’s teachings, but is also against it with his mystical inspirations. They also show that the goal of al-Farabi’s philosophy is to reconcile the teachings of Plato and Aristotle and by this way thinker wants to reconcile the philosophy with religion. In the process of research, the author used analytical, historical, systemic and comparative methods of analysis, which contributed to a comprehensive study of the problem. The results of the research are theoretical, methodological and scientifically practical, as they make it possible to understand the interpretation by modern French scientists of the philosophical views of al-Farabi on the problem of God, creation, world, soul, intellect, etc. The main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used in subsequent studies of the problems of ontology and gnoseology in eastern and western peripatetism. The results of the study can also be used in reading lectures and special courses on the history of philosophy. Key words: philosophy, Sufism, theologian, theology, French philosophers, mysticism, religion, thinker.

МОТИВЫ «РАЗУМНОГО БЫТИЯ» Н. А. ЗАБОЛОЦКОГО В ПЕРЕВОДАХ НА АНГЛИЙСКИЙ ЯЗЫК

Foreign readers’ interest in N. Zabolotsky’s creative heritage that increased in the last decades of the XX century stipulates relevance of this work, the purpose of which is to reveal how successfully the “details” of the poetic universe created by Zabolotsky were represented in translations of his poems into English. The main task is to determine the degree of accuracy of translation of Zabolotsky’s word usage and the features of his worldview into English, particularly in those poems, which are associated with the image or motives of “Reason”. The conducted research has shown that the theme of “reasonable being” is very difficult for translators. Misunderstanding of the fundamental bases of the poet’s creative work leads to appearance of semantic, stylistic and other inaccuracies in translations. The materials of the article can be used for reading lectures and special courses on translation, as well as in the practice of translating poetic texts from Russian into English.

Automatic Summarization of Lecture Slides for Enhanced Student PreviewTechnical Report and User Study

This paper is an extension of research originally reported in [1] . Here, we propose a novel method for summarizing lecture slides to enhance students’ preview efficiency and understanding of the content. Students are often asked to prepare for a class by reading lecture materials. However, because the attention span of students is limited, this is not always beneficial. We surveyed 326 students regarding the preview of lecture materials, revealing a preference for summarized materials to preview. Therefore, we developed an automatic summarization method for condensing original lecture materials into a summarized set. Our proposed approach utilizes image and text processing to extract important pages from lecture materials, optimizing selection of pages in accordance with a specified preview time. We applied the proposed summarization method to a set of lecture slides. In an experiment with 372 students, we compared the effectiveness of the summarized slides and the original materials in terms of quiz scores, preview achievement ratio, and time spent previewing. We found that students who previewed the summarized slides achieved better scores on pre-lecture quizzes, even though they spent less time previewing the material.

THE SEMANTICS OF YELLOW COLOR TERMS IN CHINESE AND RUSSIAN LINGUOCULTURES

The article considers the importance of yellow color in Chinese and Russian linguocultures. It is known that the vocabulary of color designations as elements of a specific language dictionary is a special microsystem, its description has a significant cultural value. In a comparative study of vocabulary, which denotes color, it is possible to see the fixation of a special kind of sign memory of each linguoculture to be compared. Unlike comparing the grammatical structure of languages, the lexical comparative description of this group of units allows us to see a significant number of coinciding or convergent elements characterizing universal cognitive processes. The relevance of the proposed article is determined by a comparative analysis of the lexical class of color markings by the example of a specific primary color of two unrelated languages. The aim of the study is to compare the semantic volume of color identification in yellow in Chinese and Russian linguocultures. The method of research was the work of Russian linguists N.B. Bakhilina, Т.М. Vasilyeva, T.I. Vendina, 1. Guriev, I.V. Dvoretsky, V.G. Kulpina, F.N. Novikov, S.G. Ter-Minasova, T.Yu. Svetlichnaya. The novelty of the work is the reference to the vocabulary of color designation in Russian and Chinese in a comparative aspect. In the work a complex method of investigation is used, methods such as dexryptic, contextual, statistical, comparative are used. The sources of the research were the work of Russian and Chinese linguists, Russian and Chinese dictionaries, art and journalistic texts in Russian and Chinese. The results and material of the research can be used in reading lecture courses on the lexicology of Russian and Chinese languages, as well as in special courses on the problems of the relationship between language and thinking, and the cultural peculiarities of Russian and Chinese color lexicon.
