    by Qian Yang

    Learning & Education, Vol.13, No.2, 2024; 6 Views, 5 PDF Downloads

    With the acceleration of globalization, cross-cultural communication skills have become a crucial objective in adolescent English learning. This paper systematically analyzes the challenges and opportunities adolescents face in English communication within a cross-cultural context. It explores the complex impacts of linguistic and cultural differences on language acquisition and emphasizes the role of context in regulating language comprehension and expression. The paper proposes three key pathways for skill development: strengthening the dual understanding of language and culture, enhancing communication skills through interactive learning models, and training communication techniques within cross-cultural settings. Additionally, a comprehensive framework for assessment and improvement is presented, integrating multi-dimensional evaluation and feedback mechanisms. The research demonstrates that the effective cultivation of adolescents’ cross-cultural English communication skills relies on the deep integration of language and culture, as well as a multi-level dynamic evaluation system, ensuring continuous improvement and optimization of their abilities.

    by Qing Liu

    Learning & Education, Vol.13, No.2, 2024; 9 Views, 6 PDF Downloads

    With the rapid development of science and technology, artificial intelligence has gradually penetrated into the field of education, bringing unprecedented opportunities for the construction of teachers and digital education. This article discusses how artificial intelligence can play a boosting role in these two, and puts forward the path of parallel development. In terms of teacher team construction, artificial intelligence can help teachers improve teaching ability and efficiency by providing intelligent teaching aids, accurate educational data analysis, personalized teacher training plans and other means. At the same time, in the construction of digital education, the application of artificial intelligence can promote the digitalization, personalization and intelligence of educational resources and create a more efficient and convenient learning environment. This article further analyzes the challenges and coping strategies for implementing this parallel path, aiming to provide reference and reference for decision makers and practitioners in the field of education. Through active exploration and practice, we are expected to build a more intelligent, open and inclusive education ecosystem, laying a solid foundation for the cultivation of innovative talents to meet the needs of the future society.

    Research on the Construction of ‘Dual Teacher’ Team of Business Administration Major in Applied Undergraduate Colleges under the Background of Industry-Teaching Integration--Taking College H as an Example

    by Yangyang Yan

    Learning & Education, Vol.13, No.2, 2024; 14 Views, 7 PDF Downloads

    In the era of digital economy, the cultivation mode of industry-teaching integration can effectively improve the teaching quality of applied undergraduate colleges and cultivate talents in line with the development needs of the market, which greatly improves the employment rate of college graduates. This cultivation mode is widely used in all applied colleges and universities in China. However, the construction of the faculty of the business administration major of applied undergraduate in College H has not met the requirements of the integration of industry and education, and it is urgent to build a ‘dual-teacher’ team that meets the requirements of the ‘integration of industry and education and collaborative education’. Taking the business administration major of College H as an example, this paper analyses the current situation and problems of its ‘dual-teacher’ team, and puts forward relevant construction optimization paths according to the resources provided by the school-enterprise cooperation enterprise practice bases that have been established.

This seems to be a basic requirement that has been agreed upon by everyone. Now that the implementation of the curriculum has entered its ninth year, is this reform of the full-English model appropriate for our primary English classrooms? Based on the concept of full-English teaching model, the paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of full-English teaching model in the primary school English classes. Moreover, it analyzes the causes of the advantages and disadvantages. Finally, the paper puts forward the corresponding solutions.

    Global Educational Capitalization and Resource Scarcity in Developing Countries: Implications for Class Solidification

    by Yuan Fang

    Learning & Education, Vol.13, No.2, 2024; 9 Views, 5 PDF Downloads

    This paper explores the effects of global education capitalization on resource scarcity in developing nations, exacerbating international class solidification. It focuses on unequal resource distribution, particularly in Western elite private education, hindering access for modest backgrounds. Soaring university costs burden financially constrained students. Drawing on Marxist theory and empirical data, it argues resource inequality intensifies social disparities. Case studies like the US highlight spending gaps, private market growth, and economic barriers to education and further illuminates the complexities of class mobility. The paper emphasizes that personal abilities, social capital, and educational opportunities play crucial roles in this process, but are often unfairly distributed. It underscores the need for policy interventions to address these inequalities, as the perpetuation of class structures through unequal educational outcomes threatens global prosperity, peace, and stability.

A video game can change the brain, may improve empathy in middle schoolers

2018-09-12

A space-exploring robot crashes on a distant planet. In order to gather the pieces of its damaged spaceship, it needs to build emotional rapport with the local alien inhabitants. The aliens speak a different language but their facial expressions are remarkably humanlike.

This fantastical scenario is the premise of a video game developed for middle schoolers by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers to study whether video games can boost kids' empathy, and to understand how learning such skills can change neural connections in the brain.

Results published this week in npj Science of Learning (a Nature journal) reveal for the first time that, in as few as two weeks, kids who played a video game designed to train empathy showed greater connectivity in brain networks related to empathy and perspective taking. Some also showed altered neural networks commonly linked to emotion regulation, a crucial skill that this age group is beginning to develop, the study authors say.

Robots have power to significantly influence children's opinions

2018-09-12

Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions and decisions influenced by robots, according to new research.

The study, conducted at the University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical task when in the presence of both their peers and humanoid robots.

It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also demonstrated in previous studies, they are largely able to resist being persuaded by robots.

However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect.
