This document discusses challenges and opportunities in flipped writing classrooms based on a preliminary study. It summarizes the flipped classroom model and reviews literature on the approach. The study examined a writing course for English education majors in Korea that used video lectures for content delivery outside of class. Student perceptions were generally positive toward videos but less so for quizzes. They preferred engaging in-class activities. The teacher was satisfied with increased class time but saw room for improving video content and integrating quizzes better. Suggested changes included shortening videos, adding examples, and demonstrating concepts more in activities.

The Flipped Classroom: Getting StartedPeter Pappas
I recently gave a webinar on getting started with the flipped classroom. Lots of good questions - seems like many teachers see the value in using "flipping" to redefine their classrooms. They recognize that the traditional classroom was filled with a lot of lower-order, information transmission that can be off loaded to "homework" via content-rich websites and videos. That frees up more classroom time as a center for student interaction, production and reflection.
While some may think flipping is all about watching videos, it's really about creating more time for in-class student collaboration, inquiry, and interaction. It's also is a powerful catalyst for transforming the teacher from content transmission to instructional designer and changing students from passive consumers of information into active learners taking a more collaborative and self-directed role in their learning.
In this webinar I address the opportunities and challenges, introduce some fundamentals and offer suggestions for getting started in a feasible way. I suspect that before long, flipping will no longer be as a fad, but simply another way point in the transition to learning environments that blend the best of face-to-face and online learning.
Top Opportunities for Flipped Classroom Platform Innovation
Flipping the classroom is a fast-growing trend in education. At Useagility, we believe that the best digital product strategy starts with uncovering unmet user needs and gathering insights that drive innovation.
We recently conducted an independent study to better understand how educators are using technology to flip their classrooms and to explore gaps and unmet needs. Research shows clear opportunities for eLearning companies seeking to improve their platforms and grow business through improved support of flipped learning.
1. Most are not using a single platform, which makes it harder. Teachers are darn resourceful. On average instructors are using at least three separate (often free) tools to create flipped lesson assignments and to deliver them for students to use. It’s not seamless and not integrated with other systems.
2. Lack of feedback loop to inform instructors. One of the biggest gaps for instructors is not knowing which students actually watched the lessons. Instructors want more insight into what students do or don’t understand before they come to class.
3. Student-side experience can be difficult. In most cases, there isn’t a centralized place for students to find lessons and homework for different classes. This creates a burden for parents and lowers student completion. In addition, video lessons are usually accompanied by a note worksheet or sample problems. Student need multiple technologies - which are not currently integrated - to complete the work.

Bringing together internal and external students on Blackboard - Brett Fyfiel...Blackboard APAC
With the recent redevelopment of postgraduate courses in project management for the School of Civil Engineering and the Built Environment, new challenges were faced to make units more inclusive of a variety of enrolment preferences. The short term ambitions for the courses included developing units that are delivered both facetoface, and entirely online and have the potential to be scaled to meet the growing demand for continuing professional education. To ensure that students could join either facetoface or online offerings of the same units, the implementation team brought internal and external cohorts together on the same unit sites on Blackboard. The units are currently under evaluation but some early learnings may provide insight into new approaches to blended learning, and how these approaches have facilitated new ways of teaching and learning through tentative academic culture change.

[Abstract]
Recent characterization of mobile learning recognizes that it enables learning
environments that transcend physical settings, emphasizing the “mobility” of
learning in context. With mobile learning, the learning environment is no
longer fixed to one particular location (e.g., physical classroom) or digital
context (e.g., e-learning portal), but moves to wherever the learner is, hence
enabling the surroundings to transform into the learning environment. Indeed,
this perspective presents many opportunities for supporting the learning of
languages which is often contextual. This talk reviews the various research
efforts in the field mobile-assisted language learning. A productive framework
for informing the design of language learning is the notion of seamless
learning which refers to the synergistic integration of the learning experiences
across a range of dimensions, such as spanning formal and informal learning
contexts, individual and social learning, and across time, location and learning
media. The basic premise of seamless learning is that it is not feasible nor
productive to equip learners with all the knowledge and skills they need
based on specific snapshots of an episodic time frame, location, scenario or
setting, which is what happens in much of formal education or instruction.
Designing for seamless learning requires enabling and supporting learners to
be self-directed – to learn whenever they are curious and to seamlessly switch
between the different contexts. Learning can be facilitated or scaffolded by
teachers, peers or others in one context; yet at other times it could be
student-initiated, impromptu, and emergent. Thus, in the design of seamless
language learning, we tap on the enablement and the coherence of
continuous learning activities in different contexts. Such an advanced language
learning model is congruent with the sociocultural perspective and the
communicative approach of language learning, where learner autonomy,
contextualization, social interactions and learner reflection are foregrounded. We conclude the talk with posing some promising research directions in
Mobile- Assisted Seamless Language Learning.
ICT promote autonomy among ESL/EFL learners: myth or reality?engedukamall
Thang, S. M. (2014, September). ICT promote autonomy among ESL/EFL learners: myth or reality?. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014, Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
There is this general belief that the introduction of Information
Communication Technologies (ICT) into classrooms will foster autonomy
among English as a Second language (ESL) and English as a Foreign language
(EFL) learners and this has led to its rapid proliferation in English language
classrooms in most Asian countries. However, to what extent this claim is true
needs to be carefully investigated and the factors leading to its successful
adoption which culminates in autonomy among ESL/ EFL learners and factors
that resulted in failure in adoption need to be identified and deliberated.
There must be an awareness that that the implementation of technology is
not a “panacea for all ills” and its presence will not magically lead to a boost
in student learning or achievement. Despite the plethora of research
undertaken on effects of ICT on ESL/EFL learners there is still a lot that needs
to be learned as most studies undertaken tend to explore the short-term
effects of ICT on language learning and fail to consider the long term effects.
Autonomy cannot be achieved in a short period of time. Hence there is a need
to look into the long term effects which many research studies fail to do.
According to Holec, (1981) autonomous learning has to do with a person’s
ability to take full responsibility of his or her own learning. That includes the
ability to decide what, when, how and for how long learning should take
place. This involves defining goals and objectives, selecting appropriate
materials, techniques and approaches, and finally evaluating outcomes. How
can ICT help students acquire such skills and what are the teachers’ roles in
the process? This paper will attempt to provide a balance view on the effects
of ICT on language learning and the promotion of autonomy through a review
of relevant literature and research studies. Finally, it will answer the question
posed in the title and in the process offers suggestions on how autonomy can
be successful promoted and fostered in an online environment through the use
of technology. Possible methods that can possibly contribute to the successful
promotion of autonomy in online environment include providing: (1) stimulating and interesting online materials; (2) online programs to develop self-regulated
learning strategies; (3) scaffolding in the form of instruction on resources to use
and guidelines on appropriate path to choose; (4) regular assessment tasks for
students to measure their own progress on an ongoing basis. In addition,
online platforms that offer opportunities for sharing of information and
undertaking of group activities or projects are also good avenues to develop
autonomy. Studies that implement such approaches well as others will be
reviewed and discussed.

영어 교과는 다른 교과에 비해 개별 영어 수준 차가 큰 학습자들이 한 교실에
모여있기 때문에 이를 고려한 영어 교수가 요구된다. 이를 위하여 교육부에서는
수준별 교육의 일환으로 영어능력별 분반 수업과 학습활동 책의 개발 등의 방안을
제시하였으나, 크게 실효를 거두지 못하였다. 특히, 지역에 따라서는 소수의 하위권
학생들뿐만 아니라 다수의 중위권 학생들조차도 국가교육과정을 토대로 한 영어
교과서가 매우 어렵다고 인식하고 있는 것이 현실이어서 기존 교과서로 수업을 해야
하는 일선 교사들의 어려움이 크다. 그러나 운영상의 문제점과 효과에 대한 회의적
시각 등의 이유로 수준별 수업을 하는 학급수도 점차 줄고 있는 실정이며, 학습자
수준이 다양한 교실에서 한 교재로 수업을 진행하는 어려움을 해결하고 국가교육과정
수준의 고등학교 영어실력을 갖추지 못한 학습자들을 위한 보조교재의 개발이
시급하다.
이러한 문제점의 해결안으로 선행 연구에서 디지털교과서를 활용하는 방안이
제시된 바 있으며 (한종임 2014), 국가에서도 21 세기 교육정책으로 스마트교육 환경
조성 및 디지털 교과서 개발 추진전략 계획을 발표한 바 있다 (교육부 2011). 그러면
새롭게 개발될 디지털 교과서에 있어 하위권 영어학습자를 도와줄 수 있는
교수학습기능(scaffolding)은 과연 어떠해야 하는가? 디지털교과서의 학습 기능들은
하위권 학습자들이 교실 수업을 따라가는 데에 효과적인 도움을 줄 수 있는가?
따라서 본 연구의 목적은 앞으로 설계될 국가 영어교육과정의 디지털교과서에
하위학습자를 위한 교수학습 기능은 어떠해야 하며 실제 수업시간에 잘 활용될 수
있는 스캐폴딩 기능은 어떻게 설계되어야 하는가를 알아보고자 하는 데 있다.

Autonomous Learners' Communication in Practice: Single and Dual Language Virt...engedukamall
Hagley, E. (2014, September). Autonomous Learners' Communication in Practice: Single and Dual Language Virtual Exchange. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014, Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
There are many reasons people choose to learn a foreign language. Chief among
them is to communicate with people from other countries. The U.S in particular,
but also many other countries, are putting considerable effort into linking their
students with students in other countries so they can communicate using the
power of the Internet. By doing so they are breaking down cultural and social
barriers that impede communication and mutual understanding, which are the
building blocks of successful economic development and peace. The English
language, in particular, gives learners the opportunity to participate in online
exchanges, as it is the language which is generally spoken around the world.
However, autonomous learners often can't safely find others who want to practice
with them. Of course there are options available such as Facebook and Skype but
these can be problematic, with privacy and safety issues abounding. Language
teachers want to offer their students a safe and reliable place to use their English
in real world situations, not just with classmates, but with people from other
countries too. How can they do this? With the advent of the WWW it is much
easier to accomplish.
This presentation will outline two means of opening up the standard classroom to
the world and giving autonomous learners the ability to use the language they
are studying in a number of real world settings. The first method is via Single
Language Virtual Exchange (SLVE). This is where all students participating in the
exchange are English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students and thus learn English
only. They use it to interact with students in other countries who are also
studying EFL. Examples outlined in this presentation include students in Japan
collaborating with students in Vietnam and Colombia. The model used, the many
benefits, along with some problems and a number of outcomes of the exchanges,
will be presented and discussed.
The second means of Telecollaboration to be described is the Dual Language
Virtual Exchange (DLVE). EFL students in Japan work on projects with Japanese as a Foreign Language (JFL) students in the U.S and Australia. This type of exchange
could, of course, be used in the respective countries with Korean or Chinese as a
Foreign Language students too. As with SLVE, DLVE has both benefits and
limitations, which will also be discussed.

[초록]
본 연구는 영어 말하기 자동채점 프로그램의 개발을 통해 학교현장에서의 현
실적인 말하기 평가의 부담을 덜어주기 위해 2년간의 연구 프로젝트로 진행되었
다. 이를 위해 1차년도 연구에서는 말하기 자동채점 프로그램의 프로토타입을 개
발하였다. 2차년 연구에서는 이를 바탕으로 영어 말하기 자동채점 프로그램 음성
인식기의 인식률을 개선하여 영어 말하기 자동채점 프로그램의 성능을 향상시키
고 채점 기준을 상세화하며 추가적인 자동채점의 채점 자질을 발굴하여 자동채점
의 채점 알고리듬을 개선하고자 하였으며, 끝으로 영어 말하기 자동채점 프로그
램의 개선된 성능을 검증하고자 하였다.
먼저, 음성인식 고도화를 위하여 음성인식 시스템을 구성하는
사전처리(Preprocessing) 작업, 음향 모델링(Acoustic Modeling), 발음
사전(Phoneme Dictionary), 언어 모델링(Language Modeling) 그리고 발화
검증(Utterance Verification)에 최적화된 여러 기능을 적용하였다. 또한
자동채점의 최적화에 사용될 기준점수의 신뢰성 확보를 위해서 2인 채점
평균값을 기준점수로 활용하기 보다는 5인 채점 최빈값 및 평균값을 기준점수로
적용하며 총체적 채점을 시범적으로 적용해 보았다. 채점 자질 추가 선정을
위하여 신호처리 자질, 음성인식 자질 그리고 언어 이해 자질별로 새로운 자질을
적용하였고, 채점 자질의 복잡한 속성을 기계 채점이 일부 반영하지 못하는
한계를 보완하고 인간 채점자의 채점 경향에 최대한 근접하기 위해 채점
전문가를 대상으로 채점 자질 가중치 부여를 실시하였다. 마지막으로, 말하기
기계 채점 고도화를 위하여 최대 엔트로피(Maximum Entropy, ME) 방식과 다중
회귀(Multiple Regression, MR) 방식과 더불어 최근 데이터 마이닝과 패턴 인식
분야에서 많이 쓰이는 서포트벡터머신(Support Vector Machine, SVM) 방식을
새롭게 적용하였다.
연구결과를 살펴보면, 먼저 기준점수를 최빈값으로 대체하였을 효과는
미미했다. 엄격성 면에서도 자동채점이 인간채점보다 엄격하게 채점하는 경향을
보였다. 또한 분석적 채점 결과와 비교해 보았을 때, 총체적 채점 결과가 전체적으로 신뢰도가 높았으며 전체 신뢰도 역시 양호한 결과를 미루어 볼 때,
앞으로의 영어 말하기 자동채점 프로그램의 방식은 총체적 채점 방식에 맞춰
개발할 때 보다 향상된 결과가 예상되며 일선 학교에

본 연구는 실제성을 포함하는 교수·학습 자료와 학습자가 지각하는 사회적 거
리감이 아동의 영어 학습 태도에 미치는 영향을 실험을 통해 살펴본 것으로 학습
자의 영어 수업 만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인들을 검토하였다.
실제성 있는 자료의 단점 중의 하나는 자료의 선정과 수정에 교사의 시간과 노
력이 많이 요구된다는 점이다. 이를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 교사의 시간과
노력의 투입을 최소화하여 준비한 실제 소품과 교사와 학생들이 함께 제작한 동
영상, 그리고 실제성 높은 과업을 제시하였다.
본 연구의 실험은 초등학교 4학년 영어 교과서 한 단원 4차시 영어 수업 시간
동안 진행되었다. 통제집단에는 그림카드, 달러 PPT, 교과서 제공 CD-ROM 동영
상, 교과서에서 제시한 사고 팔기 활동을, 실험집단에는 그림카드에 해당하는 컵,
모자, 인형 등의 실제 소품과 달러 지폐, 교사와 학생이 출연한 동영상, 실제 학습
자 자신의 물건과 돈을 사용한 벼룩시장을 제시하였다. 실험 결과, 그림카드에 비
해 실제 소품에 대해 학생들의 흥미도가 높았으며, 달러 지폐에 대한 흥미도 또
한 달러 PPT에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. 교사와 학생이 등장하는 동영상에 대한
흥미도 역시 교과서 CD-ROM 동영상에 비해 높게 나타났으며 동영상 인물에 대
해 사회적 거리감과 동영상에 대한 흥미도 간에는 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 친구,
담임교사, 연예인을 대상으로 한 사회적 거리감에 대한 학습자들의 지각은 동영
상 비교에서 나타난 사회적 거리감과 유사하게 집단 내 인물에 대한 거리감이 집
단 외 인물에 대한 거리감보다 가깝다고 응답한 반면, 그들의 사진을 넣은 PPT
읽기 학습 자료에 대해서는 유의한 차이는 아니지만 연예인 사진에 가장 높은 흥
미를 보였다. 이는 교과서 CD-ROM동영상과 교사가 제작한 동영상에 대한 흥미
도 비교와는 다른 결과로, 연예인이라는 신기성이 사회적 거리감이라는 요인보다
아동의 교수·학습 자료에 대한 흥미에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있음을 보여준다. 즉
사회적 거리감뿐만 아니라 신기성 또한 학습자들의 흥미를 유발할 수 있는 요소

상응하는 방식(자기 주도적 학습자가 자기 주도 방식, 외부 주도적 학습자가 외부
제시 방식)으로, 14 명은 본인의 학습 선호와 반대 방식(자기 주도적 학습자가
외부 제시 방식, 외부 주도적 학습자가 자기 주도 방식)으로 영어 어휘를
학습하였다. 어휘 암기 프로그램이 초등 영어 학습자의 어휘 암기 수에 미치는
영향을 살펴보기 위하여 집단별로 시간차 간격을 둔 2 회의 사전 및 사후 평가의
평균과 표준편차를 비교하였고 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 예상과는
다르게 영어 어휘 능력 향상에는 어휘 암기 프로그램의 유형보다는 학습자의
학습 선호가 중요한 역할을 하였으며, 상응 집단이 반대 집단보다 더 많은
어휘를 암기하였다. 이 결과 역시 예상과 다르게, 반대 집단에서 두 번째 시도의
사전 평가의 결과가 최종 어휘 학습 결과에 대해 유의미한 예측력을 보였다. 본
연구는 영어 학습자의 학습 선호 방식에 따른 멀티미디어 기반 영어 어휘 암기
프로그램을 개발하여 그 효과를 비교한 것으로 이는 새로운 시도이자, 개인차
기반 후속 연구들의 초석이 될 수 있으리라 기대된다.
Tooltip-type, Frame-type, and Concordance Glossing in L2 Readingengedukamall
Lee, J. (2014, September). Tooltip-type, frame-type, and concordance glossing in L2 reading. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014, Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
This study investigated the effects of three different types of electronic textual
glossing, namely tooltip-type, frame-type, and concordance glossing, on
foreign language (FL) vocabulary acquisition. The present study was primarily
driven by Nation’s (2009) introduction to the different types of glossing
available for enhancing FL vocabulary learning in computer-assisted learning
environments, and his suggestion that these glossing types be compared in
terms of their effectiveness. While the first two glossing types both provide
the definitions of glossed words but are different from each other in terms of
their user interface designs. In the case of tooltip-type glossing, a pop-up box
showing the definition of a glossed word temporarily appears when a reader
hovers the mouse cursor over the glossed word, and it disappears when he
or she moves the cursor away from the word. This glossing format is
designed in such a way that it would not obscure any surrounding contexts
around the glossed word. On the other hand, in the frame-type glossing, the
definition appears in the bottom frame of the screen when a reader clicks the
glossed word. In the concordance glossing, the glossing device is equipped
with concordance sentences involving the glossed words, through which a
reader is given three authentic sentences from two authoritative reference
corpora (“British National Corpus” and “Brown”) in the frame-type format. A
total of 83 university students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL)
participated in the study. They completed a computer-based reading task, a
reading comprehension test, meaning recall vocabulary tests at three different
points in time, and a post-reading questionnaire. Our findings showed that
the intermediate EFL learners were affected not by a difference in terms of
glossing formats, but by the type of information provided, with tooltip-type
and frame-type glossing bringing about more positive outcomes in terms of
vocabulary learning. On the other hand, these glossing types were found to make no difference in terms of students’ reading comprehension. The findings
further revealed that the tooltip-type and frame-type groups made greater
gains of target vocabulary, while the three groups all experienced a similar
amount of cognitive load, and that these groups consequently rated their
respective glossing more positively than the concordance group.

Lee, C. (2014, September). Usage of the definite article represented from online self-correction: In the context of Korean EFL learners’ compositions. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014. Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
This study is a quantitative analysis of definite article usage by Korean
Learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This paper aims to
investigate errors in the usage of the definite article. The correct usages of
the definite article are a complex matter and for the purposes of this study
we shall be investigating only the following cases;
a) ‘the’ + modifier + noun b) ‘the’ + noun
This paper will look to determine if the deletion rate of the English
definite article is higher if the definite article precede a ‘modifier + noun’,
rather than directly preceding a noun. In addition, this paper will explore
cases where the definite article has been added incorrectly
-Research questions:
1.Is the deletion rate of the English definite article, higher when preceding
a modifier + noun, or when directly preceding a noun?
2. Is the rate of retention higher than that of deletion?
3. Where has the definite article been added incorrectly and what are the
possible reasons for this?
-Research Methods: Data was collected from ninety students enrolled in
first grade of Science & Mathematics High School. Students were supposed to
write on ‘Korean food’ and self-corrected several times via online before the
submission.
-Findings: The result of RQ 1 shows that the deletion rate is higher when
the definite article precedes a modifier + noun – almost 50% higher than
when the definite article directly precedes a noun. The result of RQ2 is that
overall retention rate of sample group is 82.01% and overall deletion rate of
sample group is 17.91%. The result of RQ3 is there were five cases where
the definite article had been added unnecessarily and incorrectly.
Exploring the Effect of the Self-Directed English Learning on the English Spe...engedukamall
Kim, J. (2014, September). Exploring the Effect of the Self-Directed English Learning on the English Speaking Test Scores of Korean College Students. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014, Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
Most Korean adult learners of English desire to achieve a high level of
English speaking proficiency because they value communicative competence in
their various work places. To obtain this goal, Self-Directed English Learning
(SDEL) supported through multimedia has great potential to help English
learners manage their learning process. This presentation explored the effect
of the capability of Korean college students to utilize SDEL on their English
speaking proficiency. Both the English speaking test and the SDEL
Questionnaire were administered by means of computer and mobile
technologies.
At the beginning of the spring of 2014, 90 students responded to the
online SDEL Questionnaire at a university in Daejeon, Korea. They also took
the computer based English Speaking and Writing Test (ESWT). The pertinent
information of these participants is as follows: 37 males and 53 females, ages
ranging from 20 to 30 years old, all possessing diverse English levels, and all
of whom were TESOL majors.
The questionnaire was developed by means of the Google Docs survey.
The ten features of self-directedness are: (1) interpersonal ability, (2)
self-esteem, (3) self-confidence, (4) anxiety with English, (5) goals, (6)
motivation, (7) self-directedness, (8) information process ability, (9)
self-understanding, and (10) overall level. They were measured using seven
scales. Most students filled out the online questionnaire with their
smartphones. In addition, the learners were required to practice their English
speaking using two multimedia English programs. These were DynEd and
Reading Assistant. DynEd is a conversation program or application, while
Reading Assistant is an online read aloud program. The students were
required to study English with the speaking programs for up to 200 hours as part of their graduation requirement as stipulated by their department. The
seven scoring criteria of the ESWT include (1) task completion, (2) coherence,
(3) pronunciation, (4) fluency, (5) language use, (6) grammar, and (7) overall
scores. They were rated using five scales including 0.5 units. Two raters rated
the speech samples after receiving appropriate rater training. [....]
Receptive and Productive Vocabulary Teaching through Online with Different Le...engedukamall
Yang, J., Hyeong, Y., Kim, S., & Munkhochir, G. (2014,September). Receptive and productive vocabulary teaching through online with different levels and conditions for elementary school students. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014, Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
This study aims to identify the differences between the retention test types
(receptive and productive) and the mean differences between the immediate
and delayed retention tests by learning conditions (receptive and productive
learning) through online; furthermore, to compare the results of the
immediate and delayed retention tests based on the learning conditions
among the three proficiency level groups (beginner, intermediate, and
advanced). It will examine the followings: 1) which learning condition is more
effective for the both retention test types among the three level groups, and
2) the differences between the immediate and delayed tests for the two
learning conditions based on the retention test types. Research Questions: 1.
Is there any difference between test types (receptive and productive retention
tests) and learning conditions (receptive and productive learning) through
online? 2. Is there any mean difference between the immediate and delayed
retention tests by learning conditions? 3. Is there any difference among the
three proficiency level groups (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) to each
learning condition (receptive and productive learning) based on the test types
(immediate and delayed receptive retention test and productive retention
test)?
Research Methods: The study was conducted among 35 elementary school
students in the sixth grade. They were provided the task on studying new
vocabulary through using the school website that consists of receptive and
productive words. Then they were supposed to take the immediate and
delayed tests. For the immediate test, they studied for ten minutes then were
tested on the words productively and receptively. For the delayed test, they
were given the receptive and productive tests after two weeks without being
noticed the test.
Findings: First, productive learning condition has a positive significant influence on the both test types (receptive and productive). Second, the
students showed better performance on the immediate receptive and
productive retention tests when they were tested on the productive words.
However, they received a little higher score in the delayed test due to the
possibility of reviewing on the websites. Third, the three proficiency level
students showed better improvements on the immediate receptive and
productive retention tests in the productive learning condition.
The Effects of BAND(Mobile Social Network Service) on the English Writing Abi...engedukamall
An, H., & Sung, E. (2014, September). The Effects of BAND(Mobile Social Network Service) on the English Writing Abilities and Affective Domains of Korean Elementary School Students. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014, Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
The use of SNS (Social Network Service) for writing activities has become a
popular contemporary practice. SNS can provide students with flexible time
schedule and allow instructors to send instant feedback. There has been
previous research on English teaching using game applications, words, short
messages, and communication styles (Hui, 2012;Kim, 2013; Park, 2013; Yoon,
2014). However, there has been no study exploring the effects of English
diaries using private SNS. This study investigates the effects of BAND(mobile
SNS)-based English diaries on the writing abilities of Korean elementary school
students, focusing on fluency and accuracy. In addition, this study examines
whether the affective domains (i.e. interest and self-confidence) are also
influenced by BAND-based English diaries.
The subjects of this study were 50 sixth graders from a public elementary
school in the city Kwangju. The students were divided into two groups. An
experimental group consisted of 25 students who kept writing BAND-based
diaries, and a control group was composed of 25 students who kept writing
paper-based diaries. The students in the experimental group didn’t have to be
afraid of writing in public because BAND is a private SNS unlike the other
SNS.
A pre-writing test was administrated before the eight week experiment
began, and a post-writing test was done upon its completion. During the
experiment, both the experimental and control groups kept English diaries
once a week for 8 weeks. The teacher proposed a writing topic for the
English diaries every Monday or students could choose the topic by
themselves. The control group received feedback on paper while the experimental group received feedback through the ‘Band’.
In order to analyze the data in terms of fluency, we contrasted the number
of words and sentences in both pre and post tests. Regarding accuracy,
grammatical errors were counted on pre and post tests and calculated into
percentages. The following graphs show the results of pre and post tests in
regards to the number of words and sentences.
The results revealed that the experimental group showed more progress in
terms of fluency than the control group. The students were often able to
communicate with the teacher and were highly motivated by the instant
feedback they received through BAND. However, there were no significant
differences in accuracy between the two groups. The students in the
experimental group seemed to focus on fluency when they wrote their diaries
and also got more content- based feedback than formal feedback from the
teacher. [....]

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. The Time Is Right to Flip
Educational culture, methods, and technology are intersecting to drive interest in what has
come to be called the “Flipped Classroom”.
• Theory and practice collide: Many in the field are
promoting more communicative and networked
approaches to learning. However, expectations
are still largely transmission oriented.
• Flipped learning addresses both of these
concerns.
3. What is the Flipped Classroom?
Difference from previous methods utilizing front-loading of
content
• Promotion of digital technology to
o create,
o deliver,
o consume, and
o assess understanding of
content outside of class.
• This makes flipped teaching a truly 21st Century approach.
4. What is the Flipped Classroom?
Modern development of the idea
• Walvoord & Anderson (1998)
o General idea
• Lage, Platt, & Treglia (2000)
o “Inverting” the classroom
• Baker (2000)
o The “classroom flip”
• Kahn (2006)
o Kahn Academy
• Bergman & Sams (2007)
o Modelled (and evangelized) the flipped classroom with their high school science students in
Colorado.
5. What is the Flipped Classroom?
Lecture-type content
• Recordings (audio/video), Interactive content, Interpersonal communication…
Assessment (motivation)
• Assessment to gauge understanding of the content.
• Motivation to view/participate in the content delivery
Classroom Q&A
Mini-Lectures / Just-in-time learning
Engagement with the content in ways that foster higher-order processing

7. Why Did I Do It?
Torn between student/institution expectations and personal theory of
learning
Frustrated with a perceived lack of time to “cover everything”
• Large amount of material
• Roughly 2 usable class hrs/wk
Desire to focus on student engagement with the content during class
time.

Educational culture, methods, and technology are intersecting to drive interest in what has come to be called the “Flipped Classroom”.
Theory and practice collide: Many in the field of language education are promoting more communicative and networked approaches to learning. However, expectations are still largely transmission oriented.
Flipped learning addresses both of these concerns.
I view this largely as a compromise that can work to change classroom practice and maybe even change the public perception of knowledge and how we learn.
Difference from previous front-loading of content
What differentiates flipped teaching is the promotion of technology to create, deliver, consume, and assess understanding of content outside of class. This makes flipped teaching a truly 21st Century approach.
Walvoord & Anderson (1998) – Promoted a similar approach that included the use of technology to “gain first-exposure” learning outside of class and then used the classroom to focus on higher-order thinking skills (Bloom: application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation)
Lage, Platt, & Treglia (2000) – Termed it “Inverting” the classroom. Focused on addressing learning styles. Addressed the fact that this approach could be a compromise for constraints imposed by some teachers by institutions (society).
Baker (2000) – Termed it the “classroom flip”. Focused on helping teachers "become the guide on the side" instead of the "sage on the stage.“ Really emphasized the role of technology, particularly CMS/LMS for managing “homework”, to free time for active learning activities and collaboration.
Sal Kahn (2006) – His role is less theoretical, but more practical. His YouTube collection of simple, short, focused math tutorials eventually became the foundation for the Kahn Academy. His example was widely discussed in both teaching and research circles. His videos were criticized for propagating the transmission model of instruction, yet many saw this as one way to provide the lectures that so many expected while freeing class time for students to engage the content.
Bergman & Sams (2007) modelled (and evangelized) the flipped classroom with their high school science students in Colorado. They are probably the most frequently used examples in blogs and teaching magazines (practice-oriented discussions). They later published a book to further promote their model and experiences (Sams & Bergman, 2012).
I designed the courses much like Baker (2000) suggested and Bergman & Sams (2012) did.

Students indicated that they liked the videos and, in fact, wished that more would be provided. They preferred videos that had both PowerPoint slides and the professor’s talking head (webcam) to those that had slides only. Not surprisingly, they generally preferred shorter videos to longer videos. Some students expressed frustration if they could not view the videos on their mobile devices (knovio was not mobile ready). They disliked the quizzes and felt that they should not have had to take them prior to discussing the topics in class. They appreciated the time spent writing and discussing topics in class as it both helped them to better understand the concepts and it reduced the time necessary outside of class to write their essays.
“…classroom activities such as brainstorming, peer-editing, and discussion are very helpful to students to make their own ideas and develop writing skill.”
“Classroom activities were really good. I could talk and share some ideas with various people, which was so good. “
“I liked the natural conversation or discussion between others during the activities. I think activities help speaking and also they motivate learning. “

As the professor/researcher, I had a different perspective. My concern with the videos was in the ease of use and functionality that the programs provided. Of the four, Present.me was clearly the best for my purposes. The program was easy to learn, it recorded both PowerPoint slides and my webcam video, the quality of the video was excellent, and it was mobile ready.
I was perplexed and disappointed with the students’ performance on the quizzes. I designed the quizzes to be simple in that they were based on information in the video and most questions could have been answered with information from the PowerPoints. The scores for those who attempted the quizzes were not problematic, but over 30% of the quizzes were not attempted. When asked, students indicated that they either forgot to do it, did not have time to do it, or did not know that they had to do it. From our interactions in class, I noted that these were often the students who seemed less prepared, less knowledgeable of the video content.
I was satisfied with the classroom activities. By moving much of the lecturing to video, the classes had much more time to engage in writing-related activities and I was able to have more one-on-one time with students who were struggling. This is something I would not have had time for if I had to lecture. Since we did have more time to do activities during class, I sometimes found that I was under-prepared or that I did not have adequate activities for the content focus.
Based on student and teacher experiences, the there are a number of instructional design changes that will take place in future classes.
Videos will be shorter. This will be accomplished by making more videos that focus on fewer elements in each.
I still think that quick quizzes are a good way to encourage students to watch the video lectures and to assess their understanding of the content prior to coming to class. It is clear, however, I must find a better way to push students to both view the videos and take the quizzes.
Lastly, more/better activities need to be developed for classes. In particular, I found that we had too few writing samples, too few opportunities to correct negative examples, and too few opportunities to write for the instructional objectives of the day.
