ProjectBased Foreign Language Learning $119.48 ProjectBased Foreign Language Learning is underlain by the principle that learners can learn a language by acquiring knowledge about a specific content through interactive and investigative tasks extending beyond the classroom. This learner focused, process and product based, experiential language learning model synthesizes the principles of Content and Task Based Language Learning and is advocated as a promising means for promoting meaningful and purposeful language use. However, there are few works on the theory of project work in foreign language education and even fewer studies on students and teachers perceptions of it. This book not only presents an extensive literature survey on project work in foreign language instruction but also reveals the findings of one of these few studies which investigated the students and teachers assessments about a sample project work experience at a Turkish university. By reporting the learning gains and problems of this model along with the suggestions and pedagogical implications the researcher hopes to set the groundwork for more efficient and more spirited projectgoverned practices in all foreign language learning contexts worldwide.

The Effect of ComputerAssisted Language Learning $106.74 This book aims to explore the effect of computerassisted language learning (CALL) on the sophomore undergraduate students success on the TOEFL exam. The study was designed as quasiexperimental research and two variables were focused on: Computerassisted language learning and traditional instruction. Experimental group was taught using computerassisted instruction in a language laboratory while the control group was taught using a traditional method of instruction in a traditional classroom setting. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the control and experimental groups in overall scores and on the structure section. However, statistically significant differences were found in the scores on the reading and listening sections. The interviews showed that the participants in the experimental group valued computerassisted language learning. However, it was suggested by the participants that computerassisted language learning should be incorporated into the regular classes, where especially listening skill is focused on.

Second Language Learning $111.53 The present work examined the predictive role of phonological awareness and decoding accuracy in second language (L2) learning. Study 1 examined the role of native language (English) decoding accuracy in predicting second language (Spanish) learning in collegeage adults. The study tested the hypothesis that the predictive relationship between native language (L1) decoding accuracy and second language learning is mediated by decoding accuracy in the second language. The results were in line with the hypothesis. Study 2 tested theoretical models of second language (English) reading comprehension among native Spanish speaking children. The model hypothesizing an indirect relationship between L2 phonological awareness and L2 reading comprehension, as mediated by decoding and vocabulary in the L2, was more parsimonious and consistent with the observed data than the alternative model. However, both models suggested that the two most important skills for reading comprehension in English (L2) are decoding accuracy and vocabulary knowledge.
