title: A mobile reader for language learners

authors: König, Jemma Lynette

subjects: computer science

abstract: This paper describes a new approach to mobile language learning; a mobile reader that aids learners in extending the breadth of their existing vocabulary knowledge. The FLAX Reader supports L2 (second language) learners in English by building a personalized learner model of receptive vocabulary acquisition. It provides dictionary lookup for words that they struggle with, tracks a learner's reading speed, and models their vocabulary acquisition, generat-ing appropriate exercises to aid in a learner’s personal language growth.

title: An analysis of classroom verbal interaction, teacher and participant location, and group activities: A pilot study

authors: Codyre, Martin Allen

abstract: At a time when so much intellectual energy is being expended in discussions about educational "accountability" and the end product of the educational system, it seems appropriate to begin to focus empirically on the "input" of education in an attempt to enhance the "output". In its relatively short history, educational research in New Zealand has tended to look at the broader issues of education rather than at the specifics of classrooms. To date, very little data has been collected relating to the activities that occur in the typical New Zealand classrooms in different types of school at various levels.
