RETRACTED: Education of university students – Cultural perceptions on technology of English learning

Abstract

This study aims to identify a range of changes and challenges that education in English (as a foreign language) presents to Saudi university students' mainstream culture. With greater exposure to the internet and foreign media, travel to other countries, and observation of the country's immigrant populations' cultures, the young Saudis are changing their perception of the native culture. Though it is too early to identify the nature and extent of these changes, these are perceptible at least on the educational campuses. Though not very pronounced because of the Saudi culture is very deeply rooted and firm, these changes can be perceived during informal conversation setups. A certain degree of inhibition also laces the young people's views, unsure as they are to the reaction of society to their changed perceptions. It is essential to understand these changing perceptions of the young Saudi people so that the impressions formed by them may be given a positive turn vis-à-vis the rich Saudi heritage and ancient cultural ethos, while at the same time, ensuring that the nation walks in tandem with its compatriots across the globe. This study takes a phenomenological qualitative research approach, seeing the opinions of fifty proficient English students at Qassim University via a self-report survey to gather data on their behaviors and attitudes vis-à-vis learning English and native culture.

Research on Reinforcement Learning Algorithm-Based Practical Teaching and Reform Oriented to Enhancement of College Students’ Vocational Ability in Colleges and Universities

“…Focusing on the reform of professional talent cultivation mode oriented on vocational ability is not only related to the future development of higher vocational students themselves as well as higher vocational colleges and universities but also the highest requirements put forward by the state and the society for talent cultivation [11][12]. Therefore, the environment and teaching mode of practical training courses are included in the construction of a practical training course curriculum, which is of practical significance for further improving the talent training program and practical training course curriculum of higher vocational colleges and universities for sustainable development [13][14]. As China's practical training courses in line with the needs of the times are still imperfect, it affects the final effect of students' vocational core competence enhancement [15][16].…”

The Application of Artificial Intelligence Teaching Software in College English Teaching

“…The reform of English classroom teaching in colleges and universities by combining English education and language learning software on mobile terminals has been discussed and analyzed, and in this way, a new English teaching mode has emerged. It is also more advantageous than the traditional English teaching method in terms of the difficulty of understanding English knowledge [8][9][10].…”

Exploring the Development, Dilemmas and Countermeasures of College English Teaching by Combining the Hierarchical Analysis Approach

“…Therefore, University English Smart Teaching can aim at creating a "smart" educational ecology with the participation of university English teachers, students, administrators, researchers, educational resources and service providers, etc., and can correctly analyze the definition, connotation, examples, development dynamics and trends of big data. This will enable more and more university English teachers and learners to benefit greatly and ultimately effectively promote the deep integration of university English teaching and modern information technology in higher education institutions [4][5].…”
