Mind the gap: task design and technology in novice language teachers’ practice

CALL communities and culture – short papers from EUROCALL 2016, 2016

Teachers have been shown to confuse tasks with exercises or activities. The interactive Technologies in Language Teaching (iTILT) projects revealed that when it comes to IWB use the focus often shifts from interactive teaching to interactive technology. To better prepare novice EFL teachers for their future teaching practice, an 'IWB for TLBT' training programme introduced the affordances of IWBs. Our analysis of how (un)successful they were at marrying TBLT and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) operationalised TBLT criteria from Nunan ( ) and Erlam ( ). Supporting evidence of the participants' aptitude in TBLT practice is provided by a traditional, non-IWBoriented task each individual had designed earlier. Combining both elements in the analysis, our study answers the question: to what extent are pre-service teachers able to design a TBLT environment involving modern technology that adheres to iTILT principles and current theories of TBLT methodology?

Judgmental evaluation of the CEFR by stakeholders in language testing

Given its widespread use and the debates surrounding it, a deeper analysis was required regarding their experiences when applying the CEFR in their daily practice of language testing, their perceptions on possible improvements and priorities. One hundred eighty-eight users, representing several groups of stakeholders, attended a conference on the topic and participated in discussion groups. These discussion groups were nourished by data obtained by a pre-conference survey and followed by a voting process on priorities for improving the Framework. The results show that the respondents have a positive attitude towards the CEFR. They use it for several purposes and consider its usefulness, authenticity and applicability as positive aspects. The degree of detail and practicality are assessed less positively. The most important recommendation for improvement lies in further fine-tuning and in improving practice and implementation.

Toward Transdisciplinarity in Computer-Assisted Language Learning

Scholars tracking the development of such enterprises in other domains have developed generally accepted terminology distinguishing concepts of multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity along a continuum from lesser to greater integration, coherence, and synthesis. We begin with an overview of the three preceding concepts with particular attention to interdisciplinarity in contemporary CALL. We then explore the notion of transdisciplinarity as an emerging theme in applied linguistics, arguably the field most closely related to CALL. In the following section, we look at theoretical options that are less connected to single disciplinary positions and represent the interdisciplinary state of the field and its movement toward transdisciplinarity. We expand on the basic notion of CALL as a potential transdisciplinary...

Evaluating automatic speech recognition-based language learning systems: a case study

Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2016

Evaluating automatic speech recognition-based language learning systems: a case study The purpose... more Evaluating automatic speech recognition-based language learning systems: a case study The purpose of this research was to evaluate a prototype of an automatic speech recognition (ASR)-based language learning system that provides feedback on different aspects of speaking performance (pronunciation, morphology and syntax) to students of Dutch as a second language. We carried out usability reviews, expert reviews and user tests to gain insight into the potential of this prototype and the possible ways in which it could be further adapted or improved, with a view to developing specific language learning products. The evaluation revealed that domain experts and users (teachers and students) are generally positive about the system and intend to use it if they get the opportunity. In addition, recommendations have been made which range from specific changes and additions to the system to more general statements about the pedagogical and technological issues involved. These recommendations can be useful to improve this prototype and to develop other ASR-based systems, which can be deployed either as language courseware or as research tools to investigate design hypotheses and language acquisition processes.

Therefore we have investigated to what extent language proficiency can be measured by computer. We created an adaptive model based on the following two principles. First we ranged the test items on a difficulty scale, using the ponderation and calibration of their distinctive features. Secondly, the test places the examinees on a proficiency scale. Therefore we developed a model based on probability and information theory. The first module of the ATLAS test is currently in use and assesses Approximately 15,000 civil servants for selection and promotion yearly.
