Item Educating the reflective online teachers of Chinese as a foreign language.(2011-08-14) Lan, Y. J.; Chen, N. S.Item SPICE reading: A three-in-one share platform in cooperative English reading.(2010-08-18) Lan, Y. J.; Sung, Y. T.; Sheng-Kuang Chiu; Chia-huei Lin; Tzu-Chien Liu; Chang, K. E.Item From particular to popular: Facilitate EFL reading through mobile-supported cooperation.(University of Hawaii, 2013-10-01) Lan, Y. J.; Sung, Y. T.; Chang, K. E.Item A technologically web-designed platform for vocabulary strategy use by English as foreign language learners at elementary school.(2012-05-27) Liu, S. H.; Lan, Y. J.Item Are you listening? - The development of online peer assessment system for English oral reading.(2009-12-04) Lan, Y. J.; Sung, Y. T.; Chang, K. E.Peer assessment is a common used strategy in EFL reading class in Taiwan to help EFL teacher “ensure” that all students are paying attention to others’ oral reading. In this study we develop an online peer assessment system for EFL oral reading activities to overcome the potential drawbacks of traditional peer assessment.Item CoCAR: An online synchronous training model for empowering ICT capacity of CFL teachers.(ASCILITE, 2012-01-01) Lan, Y. J.; Chang, K. E.; Chen, N. S.In response to the need to cultivate pre-service Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) teachers’ information and communication technology (ICT) competency in online synchronous environments, this research adopted a three-stage cyclical model named cooperation-based cognition, action, and reflection (CoCAR). The model was implemented in an 18-week program to prepare pre-service CFL teachers for online synchronous teaching. A qualitative approach was adopted to analyse the collected data. The results demonstrate that the CoCAR model benefits the pedagogical growth of the pre-service CFL teachers, and helps them to make progress in online synchronous teaching activity design and tool usage. The proposed model also creates a positive climate for technological and pedagogic knowledge to overcome some common problems in conventional teacher training programs. The CoCAR model, which emphasises cognition, action, and reflection, is considered suitable for the training of online synchronous teaching skills among CFL teachers, and can be applied to general training programs to enhance the ICT capacity of teachers.Item A mobile-device-supported strategy learning for Chinese reading comprehension.(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2010-02-01) Chang, K. E.; Lan, Y. J.; Chang, C. M.; Sung, Y. T.The purpose of this research was to develop a wireless handheld system for supporting individual and cooperative reading activities in Chinese language arts class. The findings show that the wireless handheld system benefited students’ applying ability of reading strategies and also improved their cooperative learning in a small reading group.Item A virtual Chinese language class in Second Life: Lessons learnt from a two-month pilot study.(2010-12-03) Kan, Y. H.; Lan, Y. J.; Hsiao, I. Y. T.; Yang, S. J. H.Authentic context and active social interaction are two critical factors in the success of foreign language learning. Second life (SL) has been viewed as an attractive platform with potential for foreign language learning because of its virtual authentic real context. However, simply moving students to SL guarantee neither students’ active involvement and rich interpersonal interaction nor effective learning outcome. In a two-month pilot study of Chinese learning and teaching in SL, analytical results indicate that there is still more needed to do in SL to help create a more active Chinese language learning environment for Chinese learning and teaching for global learners. While this pilot study focuses on teaching and learning Chinese as a foreign language, the findings and suggestions are also relevant to understanding the related issues of other language.Item Mobile-device-supported problem-based computational estimation instruction for elementary school students.(International Forum of Educational Technology & Society, 2010-01-01) Lan, Y. J.; Sung, Y. T.; Tan, N. C.; Lin, C. P.; Chang, K. E.This study implemented a three-stage problem-based estimation instruction scenario and combined it with mobile technology to provide elementary teachers with an effective e-tool for observing student estimation and leading effective class or group discussions on the selection and assessment of appropriate strategies for solving daily estimation problems. Twenty-eight fourth graders were randomly sampled and assigned to two groups: the experimental group (problem-based estimation instruction using mobile devices) and the control group (problem-based estimation instruction without mobile devices). The analytical results demonstrated that problem-based estimation instruction could effectively help students learn computational estimation skills. Moreover, using mobile devices for problem-based computational estimation instruction appeared to help students discuss and cooperate with others, and moreover the mobile-device-supported problem-based estimation scenario helped students develop metacognition knowledge of estimation strategies.
