“…There are some misconceptions about the use of machine translation. The study of Groves and Mundt (2021) shows that even some teachers do not accept using machine translation as a form of academic misconduct.…”

“…Similarly, many studies explore the relationship between a poor level of English and academic integrity violations, specifically plagiarism 2007;Goh, 2015;Perkins et al, 2018). Moreover, the use of machine translation in foreign language classes as a form of academic misconduct was discussed in some papers (Clifford et al, 2013;Groves & Mundt, 2021). Evidently, investigating academic integrity violations in online English teaching has clear implications on the quality of foreign language education.…”

The move to online teaching has brought with it fresh opportunities for students to violate academic integrity. This paper considers such violations from within the domain of online English language teaching, although many of the ideas presented are applicable to other disciplines. The paper reports on a two-part study conducted at a university in Turkey. In the first part, qualitative data collected from students and staff through an online survey form were used to identify a new way of categorizing academic integrity violations. This provided three such categories, namely; exam-related, assignment-related, and online session-related violations. In the second part of the study, 462 students completed a survey related to their attitudes towards both academic integrity violations and the associated threats that may lead to these violations. Although the results revealed students generally presenting a commitment to the fundamental values of academic integrity, many students showed willingness to engage with machine translation software to prepare answers at times when they were expected to be working unaided. The findings underline a need for further consideration about how students are taught and assessed with integrity in an online environment. They also suggest that nuanced discussions about academic integrity need to take place between students and English language teachers.

“…Groves and Mundt gave “the model, method, and design of constructivist teaching.” It is proposed that the center of the constructivist teaching mode is learners and learners, as the core of cognition, construct knowledge and construct meaning [ 9 ]. Warner and Dupuy did research and thinking on teaching Chinese as a foreign language based on constructivism theory.…”

[Retracted] An Analysis of the Effects of the English Language and Literature on Students’ Language Ability from a Multidimensional Environment

One of the most crucial components of a student’s language proficiency is basic language proficiency, which is also its fundamental component. The development of students’ language skills is greatly aided by ELL (English Language and Literature). It can not only foster the growth of students’ language thinking but also widen their perspectives and enhance their capacity for language comprehension. In this essay, the rules of English are examined from the multifaceted ELL viewpoint. This study extracts personality characteristic data from practical texts and incorporates it into a modelling process of students’ knowledge changes based on DM- (data mining-) related technology and multidisciplinary expertise. According to the t -test results, ELL, which incorporates communicative competence, has started to take on a role in education and is helping students’ language skills. The performance gains are 3.95, 4.21, and 3.66, when the number of computing nodes is increased to 10, 20, and 30 times that of the original nodes, and the linear expansion indices are 0.914, 0.928, and 0.93. This proves that the Hadoop+Hive-based data cleaning tool has excellent linear scalability.

“…Prohibiting or discouraging the use of OTs, many language teachers consider their use as a form of academic dishonesty (Clifford, Merschel, & Munné, 2013;Correa, 2014;Niño, 2009). However, the frequent and extensive use of OTs among language learners (Briggs, 2018) suggests that incorporating or at least accepting the use of OT in the language curriculum is inevitable (Groves & Mundt, 2021). Recent studies have, in fact, shown benefits of OT use in second language (L2) writing, such as improvement in lexical and grammatical accuracy, vocabulary development, and reduction of writing anxiety (Tsai, 2020).…”

The 2021 EUROCALL conference engaged just under 250 speakers from 40 different countries. Cnam Paris and Sorbonne Université joined forces to host and organise the event despite the challenging context due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Originally programmed to be held on site in the heart of Paris, France, the EUROCALL organising team and executive committee agreed to opt for a blended and then for a fully online conference. The theme of the 2021 EUROCALL conference was “CALL & Professionalisation”. This volume, a selection of 54 short papers by some of the EUROCALL 2021 presenters, offers a combination of research studies as well as practical examples fairly representative of the theme of the conference.
