Closed-Captioned Video and the ESL Classroom: A Multi-Sensory Approach

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 07:26 AM PDT

Traditional ESL instruction accepts the idea that a student's ability to visualize text and to create mental pictures of letters and whole words is important in comprehension. Closed-captioned video presentations can be useful in English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction. Video topics rich with the history and culture of the target language provide a meaningful context for language learning. The author started using closed-captioning in 1991 to assist children to learn to read. Students reported that closed-captioning and sub-titles helped them with spelling, reading, writing, and word recognition, which seems reasonable. In this article, the author shares how closed-captioned videotext with high audio/video correlation allows the learner to see, hear, and contextualize words and sentences simultaneously

Using Web Blogs as a Tool to Encourage Pre-Class Reading, Post-Class Reflections and Collaboration in Higher Education

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 07:18 AM PDT

This paper reports on the students' experiments of using blogs to encourage themselves to do pre-class reading assignment and reflections after class. The sample in the study included five ESL (English as a Second Language) graduate students in a course of teaching methods, and 90 software engineering students in an undergraduate information technology program. Results indicated that there was a positive attitude towards the use of blogs for pre-class preparation and post-class reflections. However, considering the successful experience, it is important to consider the class size, students' educational level, and the type of reading assignment.

CiteULike: Computer support for the rhythms of writing

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 06:48 AM PDT

The ease of making low-level revisions with a word processor may lead a writer to oscillate rapidly between composing and revising, and the facilities offered by modern writing packages may entice the writer to switch between composition and displacement activities such as word counting or spell checking. The combined effect is to set up complex cycles of engagement and reflection that may disrupt the flow of composition. The article describes the WRITER'S ASSISTANT, a writing environment designed to study computer support for writing processes.

CiteULike: The mediation of technology in ESL writing and its implications for writing assessment

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 06:36 AM PDT

It was found that participants paid more attention to higher order thinking activities while evaluating their written texts in the computer session, that they revised significantly more at most levels on the computer, and that their computer-generated essays received higher scores in argumentation than the hand-written ones, suggesting that educators should seriously consider the impact of computers on writing assessment.

Not Interested? That's Great. Try These Methods In Facebook!

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 09:38 AM PDT

Maybe you're not convinced? Maybe your mind is on other methods that you've read about in forums and eBooks over the years? That's cool, and I'm not saying that nothing else works. In fact, there are PLENTY of ways to get traffic and make affiliate sales online. But the web is changing fast. More and more people are competing that ever before. It won't slow down... the competition is going to grow, and grow, and grow... day by day. ==> http://tinyurl.com/MethodsForFacebook You can probably see and feel it already. Your current projects may have already started dropping in traffic and sales recently... right? That's the competition screwing with you, my friend. Not just any old Joe Blow either... we're talking about leagues of big players with deep pockets and money to burn. Huge marketing companies and authority websites with office blocks FULL of well trained staff working around the clock to write content, get backlinks, optimize their sites, get partner traffic, tweak their ads... ...it's sickening for the little guy, who is forced to juggle everything alone. It makes each part of your business weaker, because you're trying to do too much. It costs a fortune and consumes your life. Sure, it would be nice to have full time staff working for you, but that's not an option when you're struggling to barely out food on your OWN table... right? But come a little closer, because I have a secret to whisper in your ear... Ready....? ==> http://tinyurl.com/MethodsForFacebook ======================================================== Your competitors are wasting about 70% of their time and money on methods that don't really work any more!!! ======================================================== It's TRUE. They are pouring their time and energy into things which are truly old news... and either too risky or just too saturated. Let's take SEO for example. These guys spend thousands on optimizing their sites for search engines... but search engines change their rules on a monthly or even weekly basis. There's no guarantee you'll even make it to the first page, let alone stay there. Is that really a smart way to run a businesses? Would your bank manager give you a new mortgage if you told him your income relies on getting web pages to page #1 of Google? He'd laugh you out of his office... and I'm sure you can see why. --------- Don't let them treat you as a FOOL, click here now: ==> http://tinyurl.com/MethodsForFacebook --------- Then there's PPC (Pay Per Click) This is a real money sucker for most businesses, big and small. It CAN work... but expect to pay a few thousand bucks in testing, optimizing and tweaking first. Hundreds of landing pages, thousands of keywords, dozens of segmented ad groups, endless hours of admin and testing... and yeah, you'll probably start to break even sooner or later. Just cross your fingers that Google doesn't suddenly SLAP your entire account without any warning or reasons given... (... yeah, it does really happen. Check out the marketing forums and see the horror stories for yourself.) ==> http://tinyurl.com/MethodsForFacebook Can you imagine spending $10,000 on clicks trying to get your campaign to break even, then waking up one morning and all of your keyword bid prices have shot up to $10 or more per click? That's enough to break most people... and many guys and gals never bounce back after that happens. Do you really want to risk being one of them? Heck, even if you get lucky with PPC from day one, the truth is that keyword prices are going up at a sickening rate. ==> http://tinyurl.com/MethodsForFacebook Five years ago, you could get clicks for $0.15. Today you'll be lucky to get decent keywords for anything below $1. Unless you're selling something for a few hundred bucks per sale, and you have a killer backend strategy or continuity program that converts into sales at a high rate, then you'll be losing money day after day... and FAST. Again, you can thank the competition for today's ridiculously high bid prices. Then there's all the "f.ree" methods... ==> http://tinyurl.com/MethodsForFacebook You know - article marketing, blogging, backlinking, blog commenting, JVs - and on and on. Sure, these methods can work out great... but don't expect the huge tidal waves of instant traffic to come pouring in from any single method. These traffic methods take a LONG time to build momentum, and lots of hard work researching, writing, editing... before you even get traffic. The biggest problem is, these methods are saturated with competition. Everyone is fighting for the same traffic... and there's usually NOT ENOUGH traffic to go round in the first place. ============================ That's why FB is so darn cool... ============================ There's TONS of traffic to go round, and with approx 500,000,000 people on the site, it's nearly impossible to saturate. Plus the traffic is faster, cheaper (usually f.ree) and can be super responsive to your offers. That's just the start... ... you've also got WAY less red tape, rules and regulations than Google or article directories. So it's easier and quicker to get started, allowing you to quickly try out offers and start making some serious coin tonight. But again, that doesn't mean ANYONE can make six figures from Facebook. If you want that kind of cash piling in, then you're gonna have to get the elite edge... Get onboard today, whilst you still can: ==> http://tinyurl.com/MethodsForFacebook ========== Bobby, Adeel and Simon PS. You'll be using COVERT TACTICS, STEALTH PERSUASION persuasion, VIRAL TRICKS tricks and DEADLY affiliate offer matching to make serious BANK from one of the coolest places to be right now. Facebook ISN'T a fad... it's growing bigger and bigger by the day, and it will only ever go away when people don't want to be friends with each other any more. Do you think that will happen, ever? Exactly. But as more marketers and businesses start to realize this, they'll start trying to get their greedy hands in. If you get there first, they won't be able to muscle you out of your money. In fact, many marketers are being offered bribes and buyouts of their accounts, because their competitors can't compete. ==> http://tinyurl.com/MethodsForFacebook  So that's another reason to get started today, and take full advantage before it's too late. ..and REMEMBER, this is 100% Risk Free, with a 2 MONTHS money back GUARANTEE *plus* a FREE $100 bill if it doesn't work! ==> http://tinyurl.com/MethodsForFacebook
