The Designs for Knowledge Evolution (DKE) model was originally proposed by Schwartz et al. (2005) in the domain of statistics learning. In this study, we examined the DKE model in the domain of second language (L2) learning. We applied the DKE model ...

The purpose of this paper is to urge the inclusion of the factor of cultural variation in e-learning by presenting related evidence of cultural variation and to further provide guidelines for designing culture-sensitive e-learning tools,...

The purpose of this study is to observe the variations in language processing and essay structure between native English speakers and native Chinese speakers. Participants will be asked to arrange sentences from a reading passage and the variations ...

The purpose of the study is to compare the differences between computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and traditional classroom-based learning (c-learning) in grammar classrooms. Eight adult learners participate in a classroom-based grammar...

Elementary school students were taught how to use Scratch, a programming language, to design and develop their own personal video games. In our study 11 third- and fourth-graders either physically simulated (Direct Embodiment) or imagined (Imagined ...

It has been pervasively accepted that cultural difference affects on the way people cognitively perceive and process information. However, there remains a lack of a comprehensive model integrating the principles proposed in previous studies and...

The purpose of the article is to argue that the future trends of teaching Chinese characters should and will emphasize the use of embodied cognition and computer technologies in classrooms. We first compare the differences between CFL (Chinese as a ...

Chinese characters, or Hanji, are nonalphabetic orthography words that are formed and written in a specific logographic format. Although there is this trend of Chinese learning in the U.S., learners of Chinese still show a motivational decline in...

The paper describes the development of embodied animations for Chinese character learning. We reviewed previous designs of animations that were used for Chinese character learning. We then propose and develop our new design of embodied animations....

Beginning learners of Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) have to undergo the processing of Chinese word recognition when they learn Chinese characters. Therefore, effective designs of the computer-assisted Chinese learning program for beginning...
