Drama to Enhance the Speaking Skills of EFL/ESL Learners

The paper starts with introducing the definition of drama. Then, many drama techniques are introduced. Next, Advantages of using drama techniques are discussed. Nonetheless, some problems in using drama in ESL/EFL are pointed out. The paper concludes that drama offers a useful educational tool to support communicative language teaching for EFL/ESL learners.     

A Probe into the Influence of English Language Teaching on Chinese Students’Language Development

A problem has been arising among many English learners who would have frequent contact with English culture and the language. That is: they are inefficient in both English and Chinese. It is extremely obvious as far as Chinese students' language development is concerned. In my paper, I want to explore how English language teaching(ELT) influences Chinese students' language development.     

The Cultivation of Intercultural Communication Competence in College English Teaching

During the long history of foreign language teaching and learning,educators focus just on the same question:how they could have the learners learn and use the target language effectively.In traditional college English teaching,much attention is paid to language knowledge,whereas the cultural background of the language is ignored.In recent years,many people begin to realize the importance of intercultural communication competence(ICC).The thesis first gives a general introduction to the thesis,states the definition of intercultural communication(IC)and ICC.Then the thesis analyzes the factors affecting ICC cultivation.At last,the thesis presents the significance of ICC cultivation and puts forward some suggestions.     

Washback of Task-based Communicative Language Test (II)

The essay aims at revealing the washback effect of task-based communicative language test (TBCLT) in a vocational college, with the further purpose to work out some ways to promote positive washback ef...     

Test-Run of the Live Global Classroom

How can we make it possible for instructors and students from different countries and regions to meet"face-to-face"and experience live teaching and learning?The most economic and efficient solution is the"live global classroom".This paper provides an example of the live global classroom approach conducted cooperatively by the American Alliance for International Education and the University of Science and Technology Beijing,which was aimed at educating undergraduate engineering students over the Internet.In this paper,we introduce the background for the live global classroom,the demands of the"Plan for Educating and Training Outstanding Engineers"in China,the operational model,the technical requirements for the project and its current organizational challenges.Internationalized e-learning is expected to lead the trend of remote teaching,not only in language learning but also in engineer educating in China.

基于SVD和ICA的全息水印算法

基于奇异值分解和独立分量分析,提出一种新的数字全息水印算法。该算法利用全息图的特点,采用数字全息图代替普通的二值图像作为水印图像,提高了水印算法的安全性。奇异值分解被应用于水印的嵌入过程中以提高水印算法抗几何攻击能力,并借助于独立分量分析实现全息水印图像的盲提取。实验结果表明,该算法能有效地抵抗JPEG 压缩、加噪、声滤波和对比度增强等常规攻击,同时,对旋转、平移、翻转和缩放等几何攻击也具有一定的鲁棒性。     

一种局部频域分析的多尺度纹理特征提取方法

在局部二进制模型和多分辨率分析的基础上,提出一种基于局部频域分析的多尺度纹理特征提取方法。对纹理图像采用局部圆形邻域作为局部模板进行局部频率变换,对各频段图像实现多分辨率分析,提取多尺度下的特征向量,结合SVM算法进行分类实验。结果证明,该方法在继承了LBP对光照因素具有的稳定性的同时,具有旋转不变性特征;利用NSCT在多尺度下进行的纹理特征提取也满足尺度不变性的需要,与其他方法相比提高了分类准确率。
