Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jamil, Md Golam; Bhuiyan, Zakirul – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2021
In this paper, we explore the learning and teaching of a maritime simulation programme to understand its deep learning elements. We followed the mixed methods approach and collected student perception data from a maritime school, situated within a UK university, using reflection-based survey (n = 112) and three focus groups with eleven students.…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Li, Hui – English Language Teaching, 2016
The aim of the study was to investigate how raters come to their decisions when judging spoken vocabulary. Segmental rating was introduced to quantify raters' decision-making process. It is hoped that this simulated study brings fresh insight to future methodological considerations with spoken data. Twenty trainee raters assessed five Chinese…
