Based on the qualitative and quantitative data, it is found that the teaching model is effective in promoting learners' comprehensive language application ability and enhancing their subjectivity and enthusiasm in English learning.

“…OSNs is to build new relationships but at the same time, users are afraid of stalking and cyberbulling [9]. To resolve this paradox, we propose to quantitatively constrain access to personal attributes by allowing the user to set the number of granted access requests per contact and per attribute before access is denied.…”

Abstract. The rise of online social networks (OSNs) has traditionally been accompanied by privacy concerns. These typically stem from facts: First, OSN service providers' access to large databases with millions of user profiles and their exploitation. Second, the user's inability to create and manage different identity facets and enforce access to the self as in the real world. In this paper, we argue in favor of a new paradigm, decoupling the management of social identities in OSNs from other social network services and providing access controls that take social contexts into consideration. For this purpose, we first propose Priamos, an architecture for privacy-preserving autonomous management of social identities and subsequently present one of its core components to realize contextaware access control. We have implemented a prototype to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed approach.

“…Most of them (e.g. Al-Menayes, 2015;Dogruer, Menevis, & Eyyam, 2011) found entertainment motivation a most common and signifi cation factor which stimulates users to participate in SNSs.

“…Greenberg, 1974;Rubin;1983) identifi ed entertainment motivation to use media a multidimensional construct (Sherry, 2004) including dimensions such as arousal, pass time, relaxation and escapism. SNSs gratifi cations studies identifi ed that users participate in SNSs to gratify several entertainment motives such as enjoyment (Al-Menayes, 2015), social escapism (Orchard et al, 2014), relaxation (Sharma & Verma, 2015) and pass time (Dogruer et al, 2011). Treatment of SNSs entertainment motivation as a uni-dimensional construct will exhibit a misleading picture of its effect on user acceptance of SNA because each dimension of a multidimensional construct has a different effect on consumer behavior (Bloch, Sherrell, & Ridgway, 1986).…”

“…Greenberg, 1974;Rubin;1983) and recent SNSs studies (e.g. Dogruer et al, 2011;Orchard et al, 2014) indicate SNSs entertainment motivation a multifaceted construct composed of enjoyment, social escapism, relaxation and pass time motivations. Furthermore, media uses and gratifi cations theory is applied to rationalize the mediated and direct infl uence of SNSs entertainment motivation on users' behavior to click on SNS banners ads.…”
