项目摘要

In this Cyberlearning: Transforming Education DIP (Development and Implementation) Project, the PIs focus on how to address the English-language learning needs of young English-language learners (ELLs). They are enhancing the Moved by Reading (MbR) computer program that has been used to increase the reading comprehension of native English speakers. In MbR, a child actively simulates a sentence or a set of sentences being read by moving pictures on a computer screen to illustrate what he or she understands. When they become competent at that, learners transition to imagining moving pictures as they are reading so that they become independent and accomplished readers. In this project, the PIs are enhancing MbR in several ways to help ELLs learn English and learn to read in English. The new approach, called EMBRACE (Enhanced Moved by Reading to Accelerate Comprehension in English), includes MbR as well as facilities for vocabulary support in learners' first language (in this case, Spanish), personalizing choice of next texts to read based on learners' syntax and vocabulary capabilities and needs, game-like facilities for sustaining engagement, and support for collaboration. Research is addressing the roles and effects of each of these supports for learning so as to identify good practices for promoting English-language literacy in ELLs, how to use technology to support those practices, and trajectories of development of English-language competencies in such learners.Because reading serves as a gateway to academic success, graduation, and employment, there is a great national need to address the English-language learning and reading needs of those whose first language is something other than English. This project addresses this issue through the development of an approach called EMBRACE -- Enhanced Moved by Reading to Accelerate Comprehension in English, an interactive software system to be used in elementary school classrooms, supplementary programs, and at home. Using EMBRACE, children learn English vocabulary, syntax, and reading through manipulating pictures representing the content of what they are reading. Choice of next texts to read is personalized to individual learners. Learners also are supported in working on language issues with peers.

在这个网络学习：教育转型DIP（发展和实施）项目中，pi关注的是如何满足年轻英语学习者的英语学习需求。他们正在加强被阅读感动（MbR）的计算机程序，该程序已被用于提高英语母语者的阅读理解能力。在MbR中，孩子通过在电脑屏幕上移动图片，积极地模拟正在阅读的一个句子或一组句子，以说明他或她理解的内容。当学习者能够胜任阅读时，他们就会过渡到在阅读时想象活动的图片，这样他们就会成为独立的、有成就的读者。在这个项目中，pi正在通过几种方式加强MbR，以帮助ELLs学习英语和学习用英语阅读。这种新方法被称为EMBRACE（通过阅读促进英语理解），它包括MbR以及为学习者的第一语言（在本例中是西班牙语）提供词汇支持的工具，根据学习者的语法和词汇能力和需求个性化选择下一个文本，为保持参与提供游戏式的工具，并支持协作。研究正在解决这些支持学习的作用和影响，以确定促进英语学习者英语素养的良好做法，如何使用技术来支持这些做法，以及这些学习者英语能力发展的轨迹。因为阅读是通往学业成功、毕业和就业的大门，所以国家非常需要解决那些母语不是英语的人的英语学习和阅读需求。本项目通过开发一种名为EMBRACE的方法来解决这一问题，该方法被称为“通过阅读促进英语理解”，这是一种用于小学课堂、辅助课程和家庭的交互式软件系统。使用“拥抱”，孩子们通过操纵代表他们正在阅读的内容的图片来学习英语词汇、语法和阅读。选择下一个文本阅读是个性化的学习者。学习者还可以与同伴一起解决语言问题。
