Developing Chinese EFL Learners' Generic Competence

A Genre-based & Process Genre Approach

This work investigates the development of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ generic competence in reading, writing and translation within the particular Chinese classroom context. It provides a new perspective for the current teaching and research in reading, writing, translation within the EFL contexts and offers an insightful framework for pedagogical applications in language learning and teaching. Its findings will be extremely valuable not only in local situations, but also more generally in a wider regional and global context as well. The book employs a series of research tools, including pre-research and post-research questionnaires, pre-test and post-test of reading/writing/translation, multi-faceted writing portfolios (including reflection reports), textual analysis and in-depth interviews. It involves 209 participants from a primary university in Wuhan, among whom 171 are undergraduates and 38 are postgraduates. ​And it draws on the analysis of such varied multi-sourced data both qualitatively and quantitatively. Genre-based teaching is playing a critical role in initiating EFL learners into the discourse community of the target language. Developing EFL learners’ generic competence is viewed as the ultimate goal in the process of teaching and learning. This monograph effectively demonstrates that like genre-based English for Specific Purposes (ESP) pedagogies, it is also possible to take advantage of already acquired genre knowledge for use in EFL learning contexts. It offers an impressive view of the direction in which genre-based applications are likely to take in the coming years.

teaching of reading with genre-based pedagogies are scarce. Most of the
researches on reading are done within the theoretical framework of schema
theory.

14-3-3zeta Mediates the Recruitment of ARHGEF2 Onto ROR1 to Facilitate Wnt5a-induced CLL Proliferation/migration

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the most common leukemia that derives from the mutations of B lymphocyte. Previous research has shown that the receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1(ROR1), the receptor expressed specifically by the CLL, is induced to recruit guanine nucleotide exchange factors 2 (ARHGEF2) once activated by Wnt5a, the ligand that bind and activates ROR1 to promote the proliferation and migration of CLL. However, the mechanism for recruiting ARHGEF2 remain unclear. In this study, we found that 14-3-3[zeta], one isomer of the 14-3-3 scaffold protein family, helps to recruit guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 (ARHGEF2), on to the ROR1 receptor in CLL. Here, we reveal that 14-3-3[zeta] interacts with both ROR1 and ARHGEF2 separately in CLL. Upon Wnt5a stimulation, 14-3-3[zeta] is anchored onto ROR1 via its S857 motif. Also, 14-3-3[zeta] is required for the Wnt5a-induced recruitment of ARHGEF2 onto ROR1. Lastly, 14-3-3[zeta] is necessary for the RhoA/Rac1 activation by ARHGEF2 and proliferation/migration induced by RhoA/Rac1 activation. Collectively, 14-3-3[zeta] mediates the recruitment of ARHGEF2 onto ROR1, which facilitates the Wnt5a-induced CLL proliferation/migration.

EVOLVE - A Bridge between Probability, Set Oriented Numerics, and Evolutionary Computation V

This volume encloses research articles that were presented at the EVOLVE 2014 International Conference in Beijing, China, July 1–4, 2014. The book gathers contributions that emerged from the conference tracks, ranging from probability to set oriented numerics and evolutionary computation; all complemented by the bridging purpose of the conference, e.g. Complex Networks and Landscape Analysis, or by the more application oriented perspective. The novelty of the volume, when considering the EVOLVE series, comes from targeting also the practitioner’s view. This is supported by the Machine Learning Applied to Networks and Practical Aspects of Evolutionary Algorithms tracks, providing surveys on new application areas, as in the networking area and useful insights in the development of evolutionary techniques, from a practitioner’s perspective. Complementary to these directions, the conference tracks supporting the volume, follow on the individual advancements of the subareas constituting the scope of the conference, through the Computational Game Theory, Local Search and Optimization, Genetic Programming, Evolutionary Multi-objective optimization tracks.

Identifying Core Academic Vocabulary in Igcse Science Textbooks and Exploring Ways of Teaching Them in a Senior Secondary Lac Class

All rights not granted by the above license are retained by the author. Abstract: This study identifies the academic vocabulary from the IGCSE science textbooks by using online software. Then compare the words identified with the new Academic Vocabulary List (AVL) (Gardner & Davies, 2013a) to generate 139 academic core vocabulary (ACV) from Chapter 1 of the science textbooks. A trial lesson is conducted to explore ways of teaching those ACV to a group of ESL/EFL students in an international high school programme in Mainland China, where English is the medium of instruction. The researcher utilizes an inductive, inquiry-based approach to teach the lesson, with visuals as the main teaching aids. The measurement instruments include a pre-test, an immediate post-test and a one-week delayed post-test. A questionnaire is employed after students' participation of the trial lesson unit, in order to get students' perspectives on and perceptions of such an academic vocabulary learning LAC programme. The results suggest that learning the meaning of ACV through pictures is effective to students. The majority of students (93.3%) believe that the learning of ACV will benefit them in academic study, although almost half of them (40%) think that participation of such an academic vocabulary learning programme is not necessary. Although students have shown improvement in the tests, the research result is very likely to be only applicable to this particular group of students at this specific time of the academic year. This is because these students are generally positive about learning and have very good interaction with the teacher and classmates in the classroom. They are from Class A, which consists of students of relatively higher English ability. Another important factor is that this study is taken at the end of an academic year for Year 10 students. One implication of the findings is that for future study of this type, it is important to test students' vocabulary size with reference to the new AVL so that the research can be more focused on students' real needs. The study implies that the time of the study (at the beginning of a new semester or at the end of an academic year), the students' English proficiency level and the instructor of the lesson are crucial factors that might affect the study. The current study also indicates that the students' own content teacher plays a vital role in their science key academic vocabulary learning, i.e., the content teacher seems to be in the best position to teach content vocabulary, as the study finds that students are more likely to learn academic vocabulary during class time, rather than spending extra time on vocabulary learning after class.

Human-Computer Interaction and Management Information Systems: Applications. Advances in Management Information Systems

"Human-Computer Interaction and Management Information Systems: Applications" offers state-of-the-art research by a distinguished set of authors who span the MIS and HCI fields. The original chapters provide authoritative commentaries and in-depth descriptions of research programs that will guide 21st century scholars, graduate students, and industry professionals. Human-Computer Interaction (or Human Factors) in MIS is concerned with the ways humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks, especially in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. It is distinctive in many ways when compared with HCI studies in other disciplines. The MIS perspective affords special importance to managerial and organizational contexts by focusing on analysis of tasks and outcomes at a level that considers organizational effectiveness. With the recent advancement of technologies and development of many sophisticated applications, human-centeredness in MIS has become more critical than ever before. This work focuses on applications and evaluations including special case studies, specific contexts or tasks, HCI methodological concerns, and the use and adoption process.

Indeed, MIS centers on the study of information systems, rather than on
information technologies, which are these systems' constituent. Human actors
play an essential role in information systems. In the MIS field, HCI studies
