Full textDefense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) trains students in foreign languages for the Department of Defense. The majority of the students in the basic courses of instruction are enlisted personnel with less than one year of military service. This study analyzes attrition from the basic language courses in an attempt to clarify an observed increase in attrition for fiscal years 1994 to 1996. Students who attrit from languages that are difficult for native English speaking students to learn are sometimes enrolled in the easier basic Spanish course. DLIFLC management was interested in evaluating the effect this influx of previously attritted students had on the attrition from the basic Spanish course. The population of DLIFLC students is described by graphically displaying how attrition is related to several variables which describe the students. Analysis of attrition from four specific languages of varying difficulty and the basic Spanish course was performed using binary tree classification. Results show the variation in attrition for fiscal years 1994 to 1996 was consistent with historical data and students who entered the Spanish course after attritting from another language affected attrition for administrative reasons, but not for academic reasons

Ahn, Misook. "Student Perception of Language Achievement and Learner Autonomy in a Blended Korean Language Course| The Case Study of Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center." Thesis, Northcentral University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10683956.
Full textThe blended learning model, which combines the traditional face-to-face learning method with an online application such as a learning management system (LMS), became popular and more practical for both teachers and learners in foreign and second language education because of its effective methodology for course delivery and socialization opportunities with technology-enhanced learning activities in both online and offline environments. Although the effectiveness of blended language learning models and benefits of student achievement and autonomous learning with an LMS have been explored, prior research resulted in conflicting data on blended instruction identifying the inconsistent findings in student achievement. Some researchers found that students in blended learning improved their language skills and had higher achievement than participants in exclusively face-to-face or online learning, while some researchers found there to be no statistically important differences in achievement when the blended model was used compared to a face-to-face setting. The specific problem is that the low language achievement of students seems to be related to lack of autonomous language learning skills, but their perceptions of the blended language courses regarding language achievement and autonomous learning skill have not been previously identified and analyzed. The purpose of this qualitative case study is to investigate student perceptions of course effectiveness factors for language proficiency as well as learner autonomy in a blended Korean language course to improve language achievement, especially in listening and reading comprehension skills. American students who attended intermediate and advanced blended Korean language courses applied with the LMS, SAKAI in 2014, 2015, and 2016 at the Osan Language Training Detachment (LTD), Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) in Korea, were invited to participate in the anonymous, open-ended online survey. Data from 10 of the participants were analyzed and evaluated. This study found the blended Korean language course was effective for language learning and achievement, but only 50% of participants stated it was effective for the improvement of autonomous learning skills. The other responses said those skills were dependent on various elements of the blended course such as activities, curriculum, teacher, and student’s motivation and learning styles. The factors students found to be effective and ineffective as well as suggestions offered to improve the blended language course were discussed. Although the focus was on one Osan LTD teaching Korean language courses at DLIFLC, the findings could be able to improve language achievement and autonomous learning for future learner success as well as curriculum design in other foreign language courses in DLIFLC or other institutions.

Full textLa contribution ci-dessous essaie d’expliciter quelques pistes de réflexion présentées lors de la conférence plénière sur les certifications en langue du 34e congrès de l’APLIUT à Strasbourg. Il s’agira donc de s’attarder sur les considérations du Conseil d’administration de l’APLIUT (CA d’APLIUT : 2007). La 1ère partie présentera de manière succincte des exemples de mise en situation professionnelle des étudiants dans les cours de langues étrangères en IUT. L’application de cette méthode demande de développer des compétences plus complexes que celles développées dans un cours se limitant à des sujets du vécu quotidien. Il conviendra ensuite de se demander dans quelle mesure les effets souhaités de cette approche font l’objet des épreuves de certification recommandées par les Programmes Pédagogiques Nationaux (PPN) des DUT. En raison de l’incohérence entre les cours et les épreuves de certification, la question de la certification a l’air d’être sans issue. Du fait qu’à ce jour la recherche d’une certification validant l’enseignement dans les IUT n’a toujours pas abouti au résultat escompté, il faudrait peut-être envisager de créer une attestation propre destinée aux IUT. L’atteinte de cet objectif passe par l’aboutissement d’importants travaux préliminaires et également par la valorisation d’une certification grâce à un système d’assurance qualité, voir la 3e partie.

Full textEl objetivo de este trabajo es investigar si el cine además de ser una posible herramienta para desarrollar los contenidos lingüísticos de los alumnos del nivel de bachillerato puede ser la base para introducir y desarrollar los elementos culturales y aspectos relacionados con los principios básicos de los alumnos. A través de la entrevista realizada a los profesores de español de los institutos suecos hemos estudiado si el cine en general y las películas de Pedro Almodóvar en particular es usado en la enseñanza de ELE con el propósito de tratar los valores básicos y los contenidos culturales. Los resultados demuestran que se trabaja con el cine para hablar sobre la cultura y algunos valores básicos, pero en general no se usa las películas en las clases de español con mucha frecuencia.

It aims to analyze perspectives teachers’ of teaching strategies and students’ knowledge management on the basis of different personnel background, and furthermore, to compare and discuss the predictability of all of them. In order to attain the research purposes, the methods applied on this study were literature review and questionnaire survey. The questionnaires were teacher’s teaching strategies and students’ knowledge management. A total of 625 questionnaires were mailed, and 502 were completed and considered as valid. The return rate of the completed questionnaires was 80%. The data were and hypotheses analyzed and tested by descriptive statistics, MANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. The results are as follows: 1. There were significant differences of the opinion for teacher’s teaching strategies in sex, grade and status. 2. There were significant differences of the knowledge management for students in sex, grade and status. 3. Better teacher’s teaching strategies can help students to do well of knowledge management. 4. The knowledge management for students could be predicted by the “examples and no examples” and the “exploration and question“ are second. According to the conclusions of this study, suggestions were provided to educational authorities, university and institute of technologies and applied foreign language’s teacher.
