EUROCALL 2013: Improving revision success with written feedback using an onli...Juhana Nieminen
The effectiveness of written feedback on writing has been extensively investigated. Although the debate concerning the most effective approach to feedback on writing still continues, giving feedback on student writing can considered an important part in the development of writing skills in a foreign language. Typically, previous research has explored the effectiveness of feedback provided using the traditional pen-and-paper method, that is, adding brief handwritten comments on a student paper, such as underlining or coding of grammatical errors, sometimes accompanied by short explanations. Naturally, text processing software provide similar features that allow commenting student texts.
Non-corrective approaches to feedback, in which the students themselves try to correct the errors in their text based on clues or comments, have shown great promise in improving writing skills. In general, the more detailed the feedback, the more time it requires from the teacher to produce the feedback. A more detailed feedback and concrete examples help students to correct any errors in their texts more reliably. However, for the teacher, writing, typing and updating of the explanations is time consuming and reuse complicated.
A more recent approach to providing feedback on writing is to use a text commenting tool which allows reuse of extended commentary, examples and weblinks to student texts. However, only a few studies have investigated the effectiveness of rich feedback currently allowed by such text annotation/feedback tools.
This paper investigates the success rate of undergraduate and graduate engineering students in revising their own texts after receiving rich written feedback provided by the teacher using an online commenting tool. More specifically, this paper aims to determine:
(1) to what extent students are able to revise their text according to teacher feedback?;
(2) what kind of feedback helps students successfully revise their texts?;
(3) what kind of feedback is difficult for students to revise?;
(4) how the use of such a tool influences teacher workload and the quality of the given feedback?
The data included in this study contains an analysis of several hundred individual teacher feedback comments and the corresponding revisions by students. The data was collected from a set of basic undergraduate engineering writing courses with a main focus on academic and scientific writing style.

Rapid development of information technology provides a favorable and high-quality platform for teachers’ online professional development. However, due to some factors, some teachers are unable to attend their OPD courses successful and effectively. Therefore, the research objective of this study was to assess the challenges of Chinese EFL lecturers attending online professional development (OPD). The participants consist of 100 EFL lecturers from 3 universities in Ningxia. The instrument for data collection used for the study was 20-item questionnaire. The researchers adopted the Cronbach Alpha method to determine the reliability of the instrument. A reliability index of 0.81 was obtained. Two research questions were structured and data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Findings revealed that, over workload and shortage of time are among the barriers of OPD for EFL lecturers. It was also recommended that less workload and adequate technical support would improve lecturers’ professional development in universities.
Marathi-English CLIR using detailed user query and unsupervised corpus-based WSDIJERA Editor
With rapid growth of multilingual information on the Internet, Cross Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) is becoming need of the day. It helps user to query in their native language and retrieve information in any language. But the performance of CLIR is poor as compared to monolingual retrieval due to lexical ambiguity, mismatching of query terms and out-of-vocabulary words. In this paper, we have proposed an algorithm for improving the performance of Marathi-English CLIR system. The system first finds possible translations of input query in target language, disambiguates them and then gives English queries to search engine for relevant document retrieval. The disambiguation is based on unsupervised corpus-based method which uses English dictionary as additional resource. The experiment is performed on FIRE 2011 (Forum of Information Retrieval Evaluation) dataset using “Title” and “Description” fields as inputs. The experimental results show that proposed approach gives better performance of Marathi-English CLIR system with good precision level.

In order to find the relationship between students’ English ability and the students’ programming comprehension, we conducted a survey. The survey explores if students’ weakness in the English language affects the ability of the students to understand the programming with respect to the following factors: Computer Lab, lecturer, mathematics, and logical thinking. This paper analyzed the results of two surveys conducted in two Libyan universities. Results of the surveys showed that 37%, 38%, and 25% of students stated that their programming abilities were negatively affected by English, Computer Lab and Lecturer respectively. While over half of the lecturers mentioned that the students’ lack of English was the main reason for their weak performance in understanding programming skills. This study found that the programming ability had a moderate correlation with the Level of English proficiency, r=0.63, for both universities. Based on English, Computer Lab and Lecturer factors, a regression model was able to explain that 45% of the variance in programming skills.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

How Much Does Technology Enhance Learning?
Anthony Kripps
www.polyglot12.pw
According to Salaberry (2001), one of the first questions that must be answered before
integrating technology into the curriculum is “does the technology enhance learning?” To
answer this question, we will examine three meta-analyses of technology-enhanced
instruction research. These involve Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL),
Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC), and Game-based Learning (GBL).
Among 575 quantitative studies published between 1994 to 2102 and surveyed by
Burston (2013), the majority of research shows that MALL is not significantly more
effective than tradition instruction to enhance the quality of L2 output (diagram 1).
Diagram 1
Learning Outcomes for Mobile-Assisted Language Learning
Examining these research results according to skill (table 1) reveals a slightly different
picture. However, overall we find that fewer studies show significant improvement in
quality of skill.

Effectiveness of Mobile Technology versus Low Tech Modalities (Burston, 2013)
In her meta-analysis of 14 quantitative studies published between 1990 and 2012, Ziegler
(2013) found no significant effect for Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) in
enhancing the quality of spoken/written, productive/receptive skills over F2F regardless
of modality, audio, video or graph, nor were native-speaker (NS) and non-native-speaker
(NNS) interaction dyads, both NS-NNS and NNS-NNS, significant factors.
At first blush, five out of the 14 studies reported significant results for the CMC
experimental group, as shown the table 2 and diagram 2 below. However, subsequent
reanalysis found that the data has been misinterpreted, meaning that none of the results
were statistically significant.

Summary of Research Findings from Ziegler’s Meta-analysis (2013)
In a survey of 32 quantitative studies of game-based learning (GBL) for ELT between
1988 and 2012 (Kripps, 2015), it was found that most of these favored vocabulary
acquisition. However, for grammar and pronunciation most studies for the results to be
insignificant for use of GBL versus traditional instructional methods (diagram 3). In a
subsequent survey of eleven quantitative ELT studies devoted to GBL for Arab learners
published between 1995 and 2012, all of them found significant improvement for the
experimental group for all skills. Hence, the ELT studies for Arab learners seem dubious
in light of general ELT research findings.

Finally, when we survey research for Arabic L1 learners of English, the results are
overwhelming in favor of technology over F2F. Besides Patronis (2014), only one Arab
researcher found negative results (table 3). In light of the meta-analyses mentioned
above, the preponderance of positive evidence from research for Arab learners raises
serious questions about its veracity and reliability.

In conclusion, whereas Zhao, on the basis of his meta-analysis of 16 studies, concludes
that there is an “overwhelmingly positive effect of technology applications on language
learning” (2003 p. 19), a more modest conclusion has been reached here. The
pedagogical value of technology-enhanced instruction lies more in its ability to increase
the quantity of learner output in the target language rather than the quality, depending
upon the skill. In addition, technology and virtual learning environments have the
