Corpus Related

Since we want something related to TW, and probably something can be related to our study, I found a local journal which is “Technical University English-major Junior Students' Difficulties and Attitudes toward Using Web-based Corpus in an English Writing Class ”
科技大學應用外語系學生對於英文作文課中使用線上語料庫的困難與態度調查
The results of the study indicated that the participants believed that web-based corpus were helpful for the following areas: the usage of vocabulary (83%), the learning of vocabulary meaning (80%), and the usage of phrases (76%). Their difficulties in corpus use were unfamiliar vocabulary in the corpus output and too many sentences in the corpus output. Only 63% of the participants believed that the web-based corpus was helpful for improving their English writing skills.
I thought this would be useful. Similar to what I have guessed, CORPUS helps most in vocabularies (phrases, too.) Through this study we might find out the insufficiency or diffuculties of this system; therefore, some adjustment might be done, like enhancing its function. Also my classmates' idea of combining SCOTS Corpus with teaching, Business English, and culture impressed me.

ClassWide Peer Tutoring Learning Management System: Applications with Elementary-Level English Language Learners -- Greenwood et al. 22 (1): 34 -- Remedial and Special Education


In this article, we report on use of the CWPT-LMS in the literacy instruction of elementary-level ELL. Five ELL teachers and 117 students in a multiracial/multiethnic urban elementary school, including students with disabilities, participated in the study. Results indicated that ELL made considerable progress in mastering the curriculum over periods ranging from 15 to 21 weeks of school across teachers, teachers implemented CWPT to high standards of fidelity, students' and teachers' satisfaction with the CWPT program was high, and consultation improved program implementation and student outcomes of all but one classroom. Implications of these findings are discussed.
