This progress has given rise to numerous film genres, intended to captivate audiences across generations, including the realm of animated cinema. Often, films convey messages depicting the dichotomy between good and bad characters in everyday life, typically portraying the vulnerable and kind-hearted individuals facing oppression from self-centered antagonists. However, in fictional works like \"Incredibles 2,\" superheroes emerge as guardians, shielding society from menacing forces. This research aimed to provide a comprehensive elucidation of the interpretive process through the utilization of the triadic model. Furthermore, it endeavors to discern the facets of morality manifested through both linguistic and visual symbols within the semiotic framework of the movie \"Incredibles 2.\" This was about semiotics which refers to Charles Sanders Peirce’s theory. This study used qualitative method as research design. Data in the study were signs appeared in the film. The findings section showed six kinds of sign that the writer founded in the Incredibles 2 film which are sinsign, qualisign, legisign, icon, indexes, and symbol that exists moralities signs. The findings on sign can divided into two parts, Language and Visual sign. Language sign can be utteranced by the speaker on the film from Mr. Incredible and a little boy.

These affixes can modify the word's part of speech, alter its meaning, or both. The present study had the objective of identifying various types of derivational affixes and examining the morphological transformations they bring about in health-related terms within CNN's online news platform. Employing qualitative research methods informed by Katamba's theoretical framework (2005), the investigation utilized a dataset sourced from the news website https://edition.cnn.com/. The dataset encompassed 30 health-related news articles spanning topics such as COVID-19, mental health, food, beauty, sleep, and pregnancy. Based on data analysis from 30 health news, there were 13 words containing derivational prefixes and 64 words containing derivational suffixes. The words in derivational prefix did not change the part of speech but changed the meaning. In derivational suffixes, there are 7 types of changes that change word from verb to noun (23 words), adjective to noun (14 words), noun to noun (10 words), noun to adjective (7 words), adjective to adverb (5 words), verb to adjective (4 words), and the last noun to verb (1 word). From the findings, it can be concluded that the addition of affixes to words explains the function of sentence structure. Derivational suffixes are found the most because they have many interactions of forms, meanings, and functions.

More empirical evidence from instances in which machine and teacher feedback is used in combination is necessary to determine optimal approaches to incorporating AWE tools in classroom instruction. A study was conducted to assess Japanese college students’ perceptions of three types of feedback when they experienced them in a certain order. Participants in two groups received Grammarly feedback on their first drafts, the teacher’s indirect feedback on their second drafts, and the teacher’s direct feedback on their third drafts. The questionnaire administered to the first group examined participant perceptions of the respective type of feedback, whereas the questionnaire given to the second group verified the strengths and weaknesses of each type of feedback and investigated the type of feedback participants believed was most effective in improving their writing in English. The content analysis approach was used for textual analysis of the responses to open-ended questions, and a chi-square test was performed for scale responses. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of questionnaire data revealed that, though machine feedback was favorably received, participants appreciated human direct and indirect feedback more highly for its appropriateness and reliability. Moreover, the largest number of participants rated the teacher’s direct feedback as the most beneficial to their writing progress. The findings imply that machine feedback should not be used alone in writing instruction but as a supplement to teacher feedback. In addition, the participants’ response suggests that using Grammarly feedback in a “form then content” sequence might be one feasible pedagogical approach in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46811603","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}

While many students value MT to support various learning objectives, teachers fear its potential to promote passive learning, and undermine academic integrity. Nonetheless, improved reliability and accessibility of MT, combined with student attitudes, makes it increasingly hard to “Google-proof” the classroom. Alternatively, MT might be incorporated into the classroom, while highlighting to students its limitations. A key factor in this dynamic is the attitude of classroom teachers. The current study details the development of a pilot translation app, Transpose, which then acted as discussion prompt to explore teachers’ attitudes towards MT in focus groups. Participants were four UK language teachers working with various age groups and in various contexts. The Transpose app exploited possible advantages of MT by visually comparing the syntactic structure of source and target languages. A thematic analysis found that, overall, teachers viewed translation as an important pedagogical tool. Regarding MT, views were mixed. They enthusiastically suggested novel uses, such as supporting children with English as an Additional Language, yet also felt that such technology was best employed to support independent study in advanced learners. Technological and institutional factors still prevent the seamless integration of IT-related methods within classroom contexts. Overall, while teachers expressed positive attitudes towards translation, and a cautious acceptance of the place the Transpose app could take within the classroom, there remain attitudinal barriers to widespread adoption.","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46360987","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}

However, a solid understanding of learners’ attitudes and concerns regarding this relatively novel pedagogical approach is also necessary for effective implementation in formal learning contexts. It cannot be taken for granted that today’s learners will accept game-based approaches simply because these learners tend to be more accustomed to advanced technologies than those of previous generations. The aim of this mixed-methods empirical study is thus to help elucidate learner beliefs and attitudes regarding digital game-based language learning with survey data collected from 112 undergraduate student participants at a large public university in Japan. The findings reveal that learners generally held positive attitudes towards DGBLL before taking part in any intervention and, after playing a cooperative digital game over six weekly sessions, reported stronger positive attitudes towards this pedagogical approach. In contrast to the results of earlier studies, gender was not found to be a statistically significant predictor of attitude towards DGBLL in this sample. However, two other demographic factors, namely information technology literacy and digital gaming experience, correlated positively with several measures of attitude. The learners considered enjoyment to be the most important advantage of using digital games for language learning. However, many also expressed doubts regarding the effectiveness of game-based language education.","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43543930","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}

This is done by analysing the content of the forums and applying two instruments created upon the research needs. The results show the relevance of the instructional design of the forums in LMOOCs, and subsequently a suitable analytical framework is put forward, which can be easily replicated due to its simplicity and concreteness.

While benefits of collaborative writing are confirmed in the literature, little is known about learners’ diversified emotions and L2 grit in the process, and the connections between interactions and their affective changes. Via a ten-week online collaborative writing project, two groups (n=6) out of 24 students provided peer feedback and worked together on their collective drafts. An emotion questionnaire and a grit questionnaire elicited the participants’ responses with their posts on emotions. Both groups showed much more positive emotions which may stimulate their motivation for task accomplishment with improved writing performance over time. The two groups demonstrated slight variations on interaction dynamics with mutuality or equality in active participation associated with their perseverance and interest on the writing tasks. Our study is among the first that examined both interactions and grit and emotions in online collaborative writing and shows success in two cases. The collaborative task design provides a chance for mutual scaffolding among peers. Future studies can design online collaborative writing tasks aiming to benefit EFL students’ writing performance while fostering positive feelings and more grit.","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45670707","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}

The main aim of the course was to introduce the main concepts of CL, including an exploration of CL tools and resources, and the use of CL in learning and teaching. The course presents a wide range of corpora, corpus-based materials, and tools. The participants had a positive reaction to the course and considered it useful and comprehensive, although they did not prefer the online delivery method for the practical sessions of the course. The participants acknowledged the usefulness of corpora in their classrooms as well as the possible difficulties they might face, which shows that they genuinely thought about applying corpora in their teaching contexts.
