ESL vocabulary learning app
intro
background
increasing number of apps
utilize of apps in and out of classroom
MALL
point of the use of mobile devices to learn langauge
an inportant approach to point out for mobile learning
portability, affordability and accessibility etc
.(These promise features are talked throughout the thesis
)
rationale
lack of research on ESL learning apps
lack of evaluation tool
poor app design???
/ not showing users feature (well designed & poor) in details
significance
guidance for students and teachers
to have evaluation tool
to know the app features of some most remmended afforadable app features in details
to know some general well-designed features and poor design features
to have a list of apps to choose from for different language skills learning,
solved problems as chik said (hard to choose apps)
for others (app developers, and adminitrators, etc.)
research questions
What are some of the mostly recommended affordable ESL learning apps available on both iTunes and Google Play app stores?
What app evaluation tools could be used to assess the quality of ESL learning apps?
What are the features of the mostly recommended affordable ESL vocabulary learning apps?
Literature Review
promise of apps
cognitive dimentions
multimedia
socio-cultural
affective
special edu
autonomous learning
students' positive experience
studied apps in the literature
listening, vocabulary, reading, writing, grammar, pronunciation
app evaluation crtiria
social interaction
multimedia
design
how to present the preliminary list? / check comments to see if asked not to present in LR!
pedagogy
present this part in a table as well to show some traces for the preliminary checklist.
In this case I actually do not need a preliminary list here???
app limitation
it's about app quality
curriculum:
pedagogy:
other:
present limitation is a table??
Content Analysis
what?
inductive and deductive
use a table to explain/display
how did I analyze data? Is it clear?
trustworthiness
Discussion
Theory /concepts are briefly re-introduced and applied
mention any inconclusive results and explain
Discuss what your results may mean for researchers in the same field (significance?)
3.suggest future studies
future research to test the checklist
At the end of your Discussion and Conclusions sections, state your main conclusions once again.
comparison with literature review
State how your results extend the findings of previous studies
previous studies suggested well-designed&proor features, but did not present the features in details
more productive features such as autnomous learning
implications
the app recommendation list address the issue that teachers and students have a hard time to choose apps (chik, 2014)
4.contribution my findings made
Findings
Only state results, not implication!!!
three questions in order (maybe recommedation list goes the last)
app features
summary for each app
summarize each subsection
how to decide
how to decide productive features?
maybe say both side (well-design&poor) of curriculum, for example
the last two apps summarize the comparison--what reason?/how?
just compare, implication this part in discussion for app features how?
use tables?
why present features this way? is it based on order of importance?
checklist
how? see another diagram
decide method: inductive or both?
present results in a logical order usually based on importance
Theoritical framework
Krashen's Theory
affective filter
affective demension in ch2
related to user review
input theory
difficulty level
app content
multimodality
history
definition
affordance in language learning
how to present this in discussion???
socio-cultural theory
search for a aritcle writing about this theory
what are these theories try to explain/explore?? What phenomenon does it try to understand??
