One approach to providing\u0000 support for learners while also addressing the issue of giving instruction\u0000 to large class sizes is via computerisation. In this ongoing research\u0000 project, we describe the development of a Computerised Diagnostic Language\u0000 Assessment (C-DLA) of L2 English email writing for Japanese English as a\u0000 Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Japanese higher education. The C-DLA\u0000 provides automated feedback to learners on the pragmatic aspects of their\u0000 draft email texts, with feedback adapting to learners’ success in resolving\u0000 identified issues.

As for the\u0000 second objective, we did not have sufficient feedback to determine whether\u0000 the perception of copresence varies depending on the two profiles. However,\u0000 the analysis indicates that non-verbal communication was essential for IVR\u0000 volunteers to experience copresence.

This rapid and unexpected change also affected the learners. Although videoconferencing was used as the main point of reference, this method turned out to be less suitable for synchronous online classes with instant feedback. Therefore, a new format of synchronous classes online was adopted. This enabled the teacher and the learners to interact with each other during the online classes. The present article describes a case study of international and foreign students attending regular online classes of Icelandic as a foreign and second language (L2) at a local university in Reykjavik during fall 2020. Attitudes of 26 students toward a changed teaching mode were examined. Data were collected using an online questionnaire at the end of the course and answers analysed based on responses to 72 questions in ten different themes that guided the construction of ten research questions. The results suggest that the teacher’s approach to online class organisation could be improved to achieve a better wellbeing among students and create a more effective online teaching environment.","PeriodicalId":350173,"journal":{"name":"CALL and professionalisation: short papers from EUROCALL 2021","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133895653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
