Students’ Preference of Speaking Activities in Online ESP Classes

This study aims to find out the students’ preferences for online classroom activities in English for Specific Purpose (ESP) speaking skills and the benefits that the students get from their preferred activities. Eighty-five students of the Psychology Department ranging from 17 to 22 years old, were proportionally selected to involve filling in the questionnaire and 10 students were interviewed. The findings show that there were several online learning activities both in synchronous or asynchronous mode including conducting a discussion by using video conference (zoom, google meet, etc.), conducting online task or quizzes, making a self-introduction video, conducting asynchronous discussion through learning platforms (canvas/LMS, google classroom, Edmodo, etc.), watching a Youtube video, making video project about a topic, and making a video about digital storytelling. Yet, the most favourable ofthe students’ preferences of online classroom activities in ESP speaking skills is discussion activities by using video conferences such as Zoom and Google Meet (Mean=3.3). Those activities were beneficial for students to improve students’ vocabulary, creativity, and speaking skills as well. In conclusion, t he use of video conferencing such as Zoom and Google Meet was considthe most preferable learning activities for speaking skills, followed by quizzes, watching Youtube, and other online learning activities. The students perceived that online speaking activities could improve their speaking skills. In addition, the implication of the study will be further discussed as well.

The emerging phenomenon of L2 vlogging on Bilibili: characteristics, engagement, and informal language learning

The rise of digital technology has provided new opportunities for language learning, extending beyond traditional classroom instruction. Video projects have emerged as an effective tool in foreign language education, yet research on self-initiated and regulated video production for language learning is scarce. This study investigates the phenomenon of vlogging in Spanish as a second language on the Chinese video sharing platform Bilibili, by analyzing 134 Chinese-produced Spanish-language vlogs. The study aims to understand the vlogs’ characteristics, the vloggers’ profile, and the ways they utilize the genre for learning Spanish. Through qualitative virtual ethnography, the study uncovers the presence and learning engagement of Spanish L2 vlogs on Bilibili. The results reveal a diverse range of vlogs, including daily life experiences and adaptations of popular YouTube trends, primarily produced by university students with advanced editing skills. Vloggers incorporate knowledge from both formal education (e.g., the Spanish textbook widely used in China, Español Moderno) and informal contexts. In addition to practicing oral Spanish, L2 vloggers use various forms of writing, including Spanish subtitles and Chinese translation, and mobilize multimodal resources, such as danmu comments for overlaying corrections. Vloggers also adopt discursive strategies for community interaction, such as self-deprecating metalanguage, feedback solicitation, and metalinguistic reflections. The study highlights the potential of video-sharing platforms like Bilibili as tools for language learning, reveals different learning styles in digital environments (self-supervised and interaction-oriented learning), and indicates the direction of integrating daily vlogs and multilingual subtitles into language curricula, emphasizing students’ agency, self-directed digital learning, and transmedia literacy development.

ART TECHNOLOGIES OF CREATIVE PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

The article substantiates the relevance of studying the problem of using modern art technologies in the digital educational space. The purpose of the article is to consider art technologies as a tool for the creative development of the individual in the educational process. The content of the article reveals the creative potential of art technologies and the features of their use for the creative development of the individual based on the gaming paradigm. The art technologies of virtual and augmented reality are characterized: interactive longread, hologram, media testing, virtual performance, insta-series, insta-marathon. The significance of art technologies as a means of the psychological impact of digital art on the activation of artistic representations and imagination, unconscious processes and creative self-expression of the individual is highlighted. It is noted that the performance of creative tasks during the game in conjunction with technological solutions of digital art (creation of video projection, hologram, computer graphics, sound palette, installations, editing, special effects) contributes to the formation of original ideas, the ability to model images in three-dimensional art space. The conclusions emphasize that the use of art technologies in the process of creative development of the individual ensures the mastery of competencies in creating artistic images and their transformation in virtual and augmented reality, in establishing communicative interaction in a multi-channel game format, understanding the value meaning of works of modern creativity and artistic values ​​of high aesthetics.

Island Design Camps—Interactive Video Projections as Extended Realities

Over the course of seven years during ten events, the author explored real-time interactive audiovisual projections, using ad hoc and portable projections and audio systems. This was done in the specific location of Cockatoo Island in the waters of a part of Sydney Harbour, Australia. The island offers a unique combination of the remnants of a shipyard industrial precinct, other buildings, and increasingly restored natural environment. The project explored real-time audiovisual responses through projected overlays reminiscing the rich history and past events, interactively resonating with the current landscape and built environment. This included the maritime industrial history, as well as other historical layers such as convict barracks, school, and the significance of the location for Australia’s original inhabitants before colonisation by the British started in 1788. But most prominently, the recent use of the island for large scale art projects (such as the Outpost street art festival in 2011, and over a decade of use as part of the Sydney Biennale of Art, and the use of the island for film sets). This was a rich source of image material collected by the author and used to extend and reflect on current realities. By using the projections, overlaying and extending the present reality with historical data in the form of sounds and video, dialogues were facilitated and a conflation of past and present explored. The main activity were the VideoWalks, where the author, using a custom built portable audiovisual projection system and a bank of audiovisual material was able to re-place sound and video of previous events in the present context, in some instances whilst delivering a performative lecture on the way. The explorations are part of the author’s Traces project, exploring traces and remnants of past events and how these can inform design approaches. The project over the years also developed an element of recursion, by using footage of an earlier projection into the current, the footage of which was then used in the next event, and so on—up to five layers of extended reality.

An Innovative Well-Child Video Project to Teach Developmental Surveillance and Anticipatory Guidance.

Learning to implement developmental surveillance and anticipatory guidance are critical components of clinical nursing education. The purpose of the Well-Child Video Project was to provide nursing students opportunities to develop confidence in providing early childhood health supervision. The faculty team curated more than 100 video clips of children age 0 to 6 years demonstrating key developmental milestones. Nurse practitioner students (N = 33) enrolled in an online course participated in a collaborative learning activity and completed pre- and post-assignment surveys assessing their level of confidence and evaluating their engagement. Students reported increased confidence in their ability to perform developmental surveillance and deliver anticipatory guidance following the clinical learning activity. Students (93.75%) agreed that the video strategy enhanced their learning. The Well-Child Video Project served as a cost-effective, easily accessible, user-friendly digital resource for designing innovative learning activities to increase student engagement in practicing developmental surveillance and anticipatory guidance.

ViSTORY: Effective Video Storyboard Generation with Visual Keyframes using Discrete Cosine Transform

Nowadays, multimedia content utility is increasing rapidly. Multimedia search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc., are available just a click away to all users. There are around 500-600 hours of video uploads per unit of time to the Internet. So, among other types of multimedia content, such as text and images, video is the most complicated content for indexing, browsing, and retrieval. Videos give more scope for implementation because of their complex and unstructured nature. This paper proposes a new method of video storyboard generation with keyframe extraction in spatial and frequency domains using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for video summarization. It discusses the empirical appraisal of video visual keyframes with t-test analysis in comparison with spatial and frequency domains, resulting in a quick response to customer demands by providing static storyboards. This study proposes a new performance measure as matching frames by analyzing input videos and the standard benchmarks video dataset, i.e., Open Video Project (OVP) and SumMe. Among all the keyframe extraction techniques, DCT gives higher accuracy and a better matching rate.

Black Vibrations: Techno as Queer Insurrectionist Sonics

This conversation is excerpted from a panel which followed Black Vibrations, a performance by DeForrest Brown Jr. and madison moore at the Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU (ICA at VCU, Richmond, Virginia) on 25 March 2022. Black Vibrations was the first of the ICA’s Test Pattern series, inspired by the legacy of visionary public-access TV programs and alternative video movements in the US. The series invites artists to turn the ICA auditorium into an experimental production studio for week-long residencies, during which they collaborate with members of the local community to create a live performance and internet broadcast. Black Vibrations considered the history of Detroit techno, and the potential of ‘vibrational technologies’ as an instrument and a weapon. madison moore presented a DJ set as a performative lecture, while Deforrest Brown Jr. performed live using tablets and other haptic technology, building upon his work as a cultural theorist and his musical output under the moniker Speaker Music. The performance transformed the ICA’s auditorium into a club environment, complete with subwoofers, dancefloor, hazers, and flashing lights. Video projections pulled from the archives of the Detroit Historical Society – b-roll of assembly lines, auto trades shows, and early ‘80s computer classes – as well as late-night footage from WGPR Detroit, America’s first Black-owned TV station, which helped to launch techno with the popular programs The Scene and The New Dance Show. Following the performance, DeForrest and madison were joined by scholar Alexander Ghedi Weheliye for a discussion about techno: its Black and working class origins, its connection to Queer dance music innovators, and the connection between protest and the dancefloor.

Performance Space and Stage Technologies: A Comparative Perspective on Theatre History ed. by Nawata Yuji and Hans Joachim Dethlefs

Reviewed by: Performance Space and Stage Technologies: A Comparative Perspective on Theatre History ed. by Nawata Yuji and Hans Joachim Dethlefs Pascale Aebischer (bio) Performance Space and Stage Technologies: A Comparative Perspective on Theatre History Edited by Nawata Yuji and Hans Joachim Dethlefs. Bielefeld: transcript Verlag, 2022. Pp. 176. Nawata Yuji and Hans Joachim Dethlefs's edited collection arises from "Towards a Global History of Culture," a research project based at Chuo University in Tokyo. In March 2020, the project was forced to pivot from in-person exchanges at a symposium to the alternative format of this volume. Consequently, until the final chapter in which Nawata seeks to offer categorizations and sketch out the global circulation of "cultural techniques," the book offers a starting point for comparison rather than an overarching comparative argument. As someone trained in early modern studies, I found Ishida Yuichi's analysis of the role of central perspective in Catholic churches (with a focus on Italy) particularly illuminating: the discussion of altar pieces and how they related to theatrical set designs and the creation of a "theatrum sacrum" as a place for seeing God's miracles struck me as an important context for understanding the connection between spiritual values and perspectival set designs in secular performance spaces. This was also one of the few chapters that seemed to pick up implicitly, if not explicitly, on another contribution to the volume: preceded, as it is, by Dethlefs's chapter on the early modern German reception of Vitruvius's and Serlio's architectural tracts regarding theatre design, Ishida's argument seemed to offer a possible answer to why Walter Hermann Ryff (the subject of Dethlefs's contribution) was so suspicious of perspectival design in the theatre. That comparative connection, however, is never actually articulated within the volume and it is the reader who has to do the work of joining the dots. Other chapters open up windows into fields, periods, and cultures with which I had little prior acquaintance: Seo Tatsuiko's essay on the theatrical elements of a Chinese novel, The Tale of Li Wa, set in Tang dynasty (ninth century) Chang'an, intricately maps the urban landscape of the novel before, in a surprise twist, suggesting that there is a global "four quadrant structure of love drama" that is "universal." Mitsuma Yasuyuki's consideration of semicircular theatre in ancient Babylon springs a similar surprise in the sudden turn from a scene analysis of the presentation of Crassus's head to the reading out of letters. However, there is little in this chapter to link it either to stage technologies or the semicircularity of the theatre advertised in the title. Three chapters focused on entertainment culture leading up to and around the turn of the twentieth century are connected by little more than rough simultaneity: Hioki Takayuki's investigation of stage machinery and special effects in Kabuki theatre is fascinating in the detailed insight it affords [End Page 588] into the staging of historical shipwrecks. It is worlds apart from Itoda Soichiro's investigation of the legislation that changed what could be defined as "theatre" in Berlin between 1870 and 1890 and, consequently, the expansion and subsequent decline of the theatre industry in the German capital. The section closes with Enomoto Yosuko's exploration of the Lyceum Theatre in Shanghai and its role in "expressing to the Chinese what Western art was" (p. 125). The book's final section contains two essays alongside Nawata's conclusion. Ito Masaru's essay on the Leningrad School's approach to theatre spaces is concerned exclusively with the theoretical writing in the 1920s of A. Gvozdev, the head of the Department of Theatre History at the Institute of Art History in Leningrad. Kai Van Eikels's discussion of projection technology stretches from Piscator via Peter Brook to the more recent work of Robert Lepage, the Japanese collective Dumb Type, and Frank Castorf's staging of Erniedrigte und Beleidigte in 2001, in which video projections of actors who remained inaccessible to the audience frustrated the audience's desire to see the actors' "laboring-for-the-audience" (p. 155). The book thus offers an eclectic selection of essays that offer valuable insights into...

Utilizing Tiktok In Project-Based Learning At Intermediate English-Speaking Class

Intermediate English Speaking expected the students to be able to use vocabulary that is relevant to the material and fully participated in casual conversation including describing an object. In the 21st century, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration or 4Cs skills should be mastered by students. So, the lecturer uses Project Based Learning as the method suggested by the government, together with TikTok, the popular application among the students, which can facilitate them to achieve their goals. This paper will present the implementation of Project Based Learning in the Intermediate English Speaking class of English Department, FKIP, Palangka Raya University, and the utilization of the TikTok application as the tool for creating the project. This paper also describes the improvement of students’ speaking abilities in their video projects. The implementation of PBL in the Intermediate English Speaking classroom by utilizing TikTok is a great combination in increasing students speaking ability.

Practising Japanese Speaking Skills Using Project-Based Learning Model in Online Learning for Senior High School

Implementing learning conducted online during the COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers to be extra creative in using learning models in the learning process, especially in learning Japanese. This research aimed to determine the use of the project-based learning model in training students' speaking skills with an introductory video project as a final assignment and (2) to determine students' responses to learning with a self-introduction video final project to practice speaking skills. The research approach in this study used a qualitative research approach. The research location was the Senior High School of Kawung 1 Surabaya. The subjects in this research were class X students of Senior High School of Kawung 1 Surabaya. The object of this study was a video of introducing oneself and others in Japanese. The data sources in this research were the results of self-introduction video assessment rubrics and questionnaire results. The results of this research indicated that the final project of making a video on learning to speak using the Project Based Learning model was able to train students to speak Japanese fluently, as evidenced by the scores obtained by the students on average, a score of 21. The response given by the participants in giving the final task of making a self-introduction video in practicing speaking skills using the Project Based Learning model was at high criteria, obtained from distributing questionnaires, showing that the average was 24.7 and the highest score was number 29 and the lowest score was at number 21.

Écrans motiles éd. par Sylvain Campeau

Reviewed by: Écrans motiles éd. par Sylvain Campeau Catherine Gaughan Campeau, Sylvain, éd. Écrans motiles. PU de Montréal, 2021. ISBN 978-2-7606-4452-6. Pp. 278. Écrans motiles is a compelling investigation that delves into the complex nature of video projections and installations as well as the various screens and monitors associated with the art form. Written in French and divided into eleven chapters, each one focusing on a particular artist and their aesthetic approach in an attempt to better understand the creative process, the figure of the screen in their works remains the central focus of the book. With a background in poetry and art criticism, Sylvain Campeau explores video projections by well-established as well as lesser-known artists based in Quebec, the United States, and Canada, such as Mireille Baril, Stan Douglas, Milutin Gubash, and Jacynthe Carrier. Looking at the distinction between movie screens, flat screens, and TV screens and their proliferation today, the book considers the relationship between the image and the spectator and moves beyond more traditional visual studies focused on TV and cinema. Original and thought-provoking, the analyses recognize the contribution of artists like Stan Brakhage and Maya Deren while citing exhibits and examples from more contemporary works. Moreover, the stunning stills throughout offer a better understanding of the various artists and their works, particularly the elements of the mise en scène and the context of the installations, and convey the versatility of video projections as an art form. With a fascinating conclusion entitled "Le continuum-image," which highlights some of the exciting new aesthetic challenges ahead, the book reveals insight into what the future might hold for the medium. Écrans motiles will provide a keen reference point for a vastly unexplored field of study while offering insight into the diverse and dynamic nature of video projection and its wide-ranging artistic practices.

Defining orienting language in the genetic counseling process.

We defined orienting language in genetic counseling sessions as 'language intended to direct focus to a particular aspect of the counseling process; a physical, emotional, or cognitive space; or an outcome'. This is a concept expanding on the idea of 'orientation' statements in the genetic counseling literature. We propose that orienting language is an important component of effective communication in the genetic counseling process. Our goals were to document the presence of orienting language in genetic counseling sessions with practicing genetic counselors and simulated clients, categorize types of orienting language, and evaluate the purpose of this language. A sample of Genetic Counseling Video Project videotape transcripts was evaluated through consensus coding for orienting language. Orienting language was found to be abundant in the dataset evaluated. Each excerpt was coded for orienting language Strategies and Purpose. The six categories of Strategy codes identified were Logical Consistency, Providing Context, Guidance, Structuring the Session, Anchoring, and Procedural. The six categories of Purpose codes were Counselee Understanding, Guidance, Engagement, Promoting Effective Counselor/Counselee Interactions, Counselee Adaptation, and Relationship Building. Results support our expanded definition of orienting language, which was similar in both cancer and prenatal specialties and across years of counselor experience. Orienting language acts as a series of signposts to help clients navigate the sometimes complex and unfamiliar territory of a genetic counseling session. The introduction of this term into the genetic counseling literature allows its use by genetic counselors to be further evaluated and potentially incorporated into genetic counselor training.

From sport to science: the acoustics of a pool transformed into an auditorium

The re-use of an abandoned building is probably among the most sustainable choice we can do in the built environment. A dismissed public building has been donated to the University of Foggia, Italy, due to the demand of facilities that the different departments requested for their academic meetings and events. The original building was provided with a swimming pool on the ground floor, to be 50 m long and 3 m deep. The architects in charge to apply the change of use have designed the realization of an auditorium within the original pool. The project consists of the installation of the audience seats on a 10% sloped stalls area, having a rectangular plan layout. The short dimension headwall, that is 3 m high, has been designed to allocate a screen for image and video projection. Before any change, a campaign of acoustic measurements has been undertaken in order to assess the existing conditions of the room, having a volume size of 4000 m3. The results from the first survey highlight that the main acoustic parameters were significantly outside the optimal range for an auditorium. This paper presents a parametric investigation of some mitigation solutions applied to lower the reverberation time and to increase the speech intelligibility (and the STI). The addition of absorbing surface areas allowed the users to effectively make use of this facility. A second campaign of measurements carried out after the realization of the acoustic design have been compared with the predictions, to finally tune the retrofitted room

Psychometric evaluation of critical incident video instruments for nursing education

Abstract The Critical Incident Video (CIV) Project is a mixed method longitudinal study that uses CIVs to prepare nursing faculty members to address common teaching challenges. CIVs are short videos that present unresolved teaching challenges. Given the lack of specific instruments for evaluating the usefulness of CIVs, the aim of this phase of the project was to develop and test two instruments measuring the pedagogical effects of CIVs. The CIV Preparation and Confidence Scale (CIVPCS©) and the CIV Simulation Experience Scale (CIVSES©) were assessed for validity and reliability. Using a Delphi method, a convenience sample of 23 nurse educators provided feedback enhancing the validity and clarity of the CIVPCS©. Reliability of the CIVPCS© was determined using Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest method. No changes were recommended for the CIVSES©. Findings from the assessment of these newly developed CIV instruments are reported and implications for faculty development are discussed.
