The Use of WhatsApp in Collaborative Learning to Improve the Reading Skill Among University Students: A Case Study of Saudi Students of English at the University of Jeddah

Researchers have advocated collaborative learning and largely reported its evidenced advantages in learning a language. They have emphasized that students working collaboratively tend to learn language better and retain knowledge longer than when learning through any other instructional format (Johnson, Johnson, &amp; Holubec, 1993). In addition, these researchers questioned which tool is most effective in the successful implementation of this kind of learning. In this respect, technology has been recommended as an effective tool that leads to higher language achievements (Almekhalfi &amp; Almeqdadi, 2010). In more particular terms and given its popularity, the WhatsApp messenger application has been strongly advocated and highlighted as one of the most effective media for instruction that significantly contributes to the success of language learners (Cakir, 2015, as cited in Ta’amneh, 2017).Aiming to add to the growing literature about the integration of WhatsApp in education, this paper measures the impact of this application’s use for improving the reading skill of 30 Saudi male learners of English as a foreign language, as well as identifying their perceptions towards the English languagelearning experience after implementing WhatsApp in their learning. Data were gathered via pre- and post-tests as well as through a focused group interview. The findings proved the significant association between the use of WhatsApp and the improvement of the reading skills of the participants, who articulated a favourable attitude towards the use of WhatsApp as a tool for language learning.
PENERAPAN METODE CHAID UNTUK MENGKLASIFIKASIKAN FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PRESTASI AKADEMIK MAHASISWA JURUSAN MATEMATIKA TAHUN MASUK 2016 FMIPA UNP

The mathematics department of UNP is one of the most popular majors every year. But the capacity for admission of new students is limited. By limiting the capacity for each department, it causes a strict selection so that students who are accepted are chosen students who have met the specified acceptance criteria. However, students are still constrained in the learning process. This has an impact on the results of studies achieved by students not as expected. Factors affecting academic achievement are gender, national examination average, school origin, entry paths, choice of majors, scholarships, colleges while working, active organizations, tutoring for courses. The purpose of this research is to find out the variables that have significant influence, classification, and characteristics that are formed from the academic achievements of the 2016 Mathematics Department Students of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.CHAID analysis is one of the categorical data analysis which aims to determine the classification / grouping of any factors that affect the academic achievement of students majoring in mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences UNP. The data in this study are primary data derived from filling out the questionnaire by students majoring in mathematics in 2016 FMIPA UNP. The sampling technique is total sampling.The results of the study using CHAID analysis produced 3 variables that significantly influence the academic achievements of the Department of Mathematics in 2016 FMIPA UNP, namely scholarships, tutoring for courses, and the origin of schools consisting of 5 classifications with the characteristics / characteristics of students who are having high academic achievements with a minimum GPA of 3 are students who receive scholarships and take tutoring for college subjects.

A Study On Profiling Students via Data Mining

Data mining is a significant method which is utilized in order to reveal the hidden patterns and connections within big data. The method is used at various fields such as financial transactions, banking, education, health sector, logistics and security. Even though analysis towards the consumption habits of the customers is carried out via association rules mining more often, which is one of the basic methods of data mining, the method is also utilized in order to profile patients and students. As well as the customization of a customer is of high significance, so is distinguishing and customizing a student. Within this study, students were tried to be profiled via data mining of the student data of a high school. A set of qualities, that can directly affect the performance of students such as health conditions, financial resources, life standards and education level of the families, were taken into consideration. For that purpose, upon the analysis of data of 443 students in the database, a data warehouse was established. The Apriori algorithm, which is one of the popular algorithms of association rules mining, is utilized for the data analysis. Apriori algorithm was able to produce 72 rules which are accurate above 90%. It is thought that the produced rules can be of help in profiling the students, and they can contribute to work of school management, teachers, parents and students.

A multiscale shape descriptor based on diferential entropy

We propose a shape descriptor based on the differential entropy of multiscale curvature (MEC), which has a better shape discrimination ability than the normalised multiscale bending energy (NMBE) descriptor.We compare both NMBE and MEC with a monoscale descriptor by conducting multiple-class classification experiments on images from three public datasets: Kimia99 (99 shapes/9 classes), MPEG7-CE (1400 shapes/70 classes) and Flavia leaves (1907 shapes/32 classes).The classification results for precision, recall and F1-score measures, show that the use of MEC improved shape description for the MPEG7-CE and Flavia datasets.A qualitative analysis based on visualisation of pairwise Euclidean distance matrices also confirmed that MEC is a competitive method of shape description compared to NMBE for these datasets.
An Experiment Teaching Scheme of Mechanics of Materials for Undergraduates Based on an One-dimensional Digital Correlation Method

Digital image correlation(DIC)method is a surface deformation field measurement technology developed in recent years.Because this technology requires computer to complete complex image data processing,it is not conducive to the implementation of undergraduate teaching.The test will be based on an one-dimensional digital image correlation method for measuring the tensile properties of badminton string lines.The test results show that the tensile load-displacement curve of the badminton racket measured by the one-dimensional digital image correlation method is in good agreement with the experimental machine measurement results,which can effectively measure the tensile mechanical properties of the badminton string.The method is convenient to test,simple and intuitive to operate,small in data volume,simple in data processing,suitable for undergraduate mechanical experiment teaching,and can also be directly applied to tensile performance testing of fiber materials.

이탈리아에서의 한국학 동향과 전망 -시에나 외국인 대학을 중심으로-

This paper aims to present the general panorama of Korean studies in Italy, by examining the universities from the introduction of Korean language course until the future prospects of Korean Studies. In Italy since long time Korean Studies are introduced through a single course and have been enriched by the curriculum of first and second language in BA, MA and Ph.D. degrees, but until 2017 only four universities have been offering those degrees in Korea-related Studies, in particular: University of Bologna, the University of Venezia Ca'' Foscari, University of Napoli L''Orientale and the University of Roma La Sapienza. Starting from the academic year 2017/2018, responding to the continuous increasing interest towards Korean and Korean language education in Italy, the University for Foreigners of Siena launched the first courses related to Korean Language and Korean studies and is enjoying great success.The present work intends to examine the current status of various universities involved in Korean studies, by focusing on the University of Foreigners of Siena specialized for the education of Italian and foreign languages, and to estimate the prospects of Korean studies through the adoption and the necessity of some concrete plans and projects, which must be emphasized so as to contribute to the development and the enrichment of Korean Studies curriculum. The proposals provided in this work might improve the current weak parts: to strengthen and guarantee the quality of the courses related to Korean studies; to invest in the publication of valuable books and articles; to consolidate the teaching staff and to invest in young scholars; to promote the academic research and activities through the collaboration with various universities and expanding the network between the scholars.

On the Interpretation of Null Arguments in L2 Japanese by L1 German Speakers

We report that (i) L1 German learners of Japanese as a foreign language allowed a sloppy interpretation of null arguments in the course of their L2 development, and that (ii) the sloppy interpretation between the L1 German group and the Japanese control group was, statistically, significantly different. Under Ishino’s (2012) Feature Transfer and Feature Learning model on second language acquisition (SLA) which we adopt, it is not immediately clear what type of null arguments the L1 German learners permit in their L2 Japanese. We argue that L1 German learners of L2 Japanese adopt German verbatim topic drop (Trutkowski, 2016) to make sloppy interpretation of null arguments available in their Japanese, an instance of L1 transfer. The current proposal is consistent with Yamada and Miyamoto’s (2017) finding that null arguments available in the L2 Japanese grammar of other European non-pro-drop language speakers do not permit sloppy interpretation, for verbatim topic drop is an operation specific to German.

THE CORRELATION OF TOEFL TOWARD STUDENTS ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

This study explains the correlation between the TOEFL preparation course to the improvement of the ability to speak in English of the students at UniversitasFajar Makassar. The result of this study is expected to answer the phenomenon between the ability to score at the TOEFL test and the ability to speak of the students in the TOEFL preparation course. This study is also expected to be able to produce a TOEFL preparation class teaching method which is more suitable for improving students' speaking ability. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach, using data in the form of numbers from each measurement instrument. This study analyzes data sets from two data collection instruments; TOEFL scores and Cambridge FCE speaking test scores, taken from the same group of study subjects. The data sets from both instruments are then compared to test the level of correlation. The data analysis and presentation are compiled based on statistical calculations using the correlation research analysis. The findings of this study indicate that the TOEFL score did not significantly correlate with the improvement in the speaking ability of the subjects. The results of the TOEFL training of study subjects with low / high scores did not show a significant increase in the ability to speak even though there was a  linear relationship between the two pairs of the score.

Recent progress in experimental quantum key distribution

Quantum key distribution can provide information theoretical security, however channel loss seems to be the most severe limitation on the practical application of long distance quantum key distribution. The idea of twin-field quantum key distribution can improve the key rate from the linear scale of channel loss in the traditional decoy-state method to the square root scale of the channel transmittance. Here, we adopt the technology developed in the frequency and time methology field to lock two independent lasers' wavelengths and utilize additional phase reference light to estimate and compensate the fiber fluctuation. Further with a single photon detector with high detection rate, we demonstrate twin field quantum key distribution through the sending-or-not-sending protocol with realistic phase drift in 300 km optical fiber spools and beat the rate-distance limit.
