Item Collaborative early EFL reading among distributed learners: A simulation pilot study(The Journal of the JALT CALL SIG, 2006-08-01) Lan, Y. J.; Sung, Y. T.; Chang, K. E.It is widely accepted that reading provides important opportunities for second language (L2) development, however, in Taiwan sources of L2 input are often limited for learners in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) settings. This problem is compounded by environmental constraints such as students’ diversity in reading abilities, the socio-economic gap between urban and rural students, class sizes, time constraints and available resources, and dealing with these constraints effectively requires new pedagogies and tools. We designed a wireless peer-assisted leaning system for early EFL reading to enhance online collaborative EFL reading and provide EFL learners with an opportunity to teach and learn with each other. In this study we examine the use of this wireless reading system in a conventional EFL class to simulate a distributed learning situation. The results suggested that wireless EFL reading may emerge as a flexible and portable solution to the pedagogical challenges that exist in conventional EFL reading and teaching environments.Item Web-based collaborative inquiry learning(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2003-02-01) Chang, K. E.; Sung, Y. T.; Lee, C. L.This study proposes a web-based collaborative inquiry learning system. This system uses the World-wide web (WWW) as a source of knowledge exploration, and provides exploratory problems to guide students to think and explore. A concept map is used as a tool of anchoring and representing knowledge during inquiry process. In the process of learning, learners are allowed to exchange the evidence they have collected, their personal opinions, and the concept maps that they have built. In order to effectively integrate the inquiry learning, collaborative learning, and concept map in the system, this study proposes a collaborative inquiry learning model and related learning activities. Two studies were constructed based on the collaborative inquiry learning model to investigate students' learning processes in the collaborative inquiry learning on the web.
