Factors associated with improvement in oral fluency when using video‐synchronous mediated communication with native speakers
Computer‐mediated, communication‐based foreign language learning programs are showing great promise. Among these, video‐synchronous mediated communication seems to offer an effective way to provide speaking practice, although research findings have been inconclusive. Furthermore, among studies that have documented the effectiveness of video‐mediated communication, it is not clear why some learners improve more than others. This study reports data…
Pain threshold reflects psychological traits in patients with chronic pain: A cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND: Chronic pain enhances sensory sensitivity and induces the biased development of psychological traits such as depression and pain catastrophizing, leading to the formation of heterogeneous conditions. Fluctuations in the sensory-related thresholds of non-injured sites (with normal peripheral tissue) in patients with chronic pain are thought to be related to central sensitization. The objectives of this study were to analyze the associa…
The relationship between salivary amylase and the physical and psychological changes elicited by continuation of autogenic training in patients with functional somatic syndrome
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to clarify the changes in biological measures during autogenic training (AT) sessions and the relationship between these biological measures and the changes in physical and psychological measures induced by continuation of AT in patients with functional somatic syndrome (FSS). We used the salivary amylase (SAMY) level, skin temperature of the finger (TEMP), subjective symptom scores, and psychological charact…
Mutually Beneficial Foreign Language Learning: Creating Meaningful Interactions Through Video‐Synchronous Computer‐Mediated Communication
Providing learners of a foreign language with meaningful opportunities for interactions, specifically with native speakers, is especially challenging for instructors. One way to overcome this obstacle is through video‐synchronous computer‐mediated communication tools such as Skype software. This study reports quantitative and qualitative data from a Skype partner program that emphasized meaningful communication between American students learning …
Efficacy of Intervention Strategies in Learning Success Rates
This article reports on the efficacy of interventions made to improve the attrition rates of students of Japanese as a Foreign Language at The University of Sydney. Specifically, the study sought to evaluate differences in outcomes between students with a background in a morphographic writing system and those without such a background. Four intervention techniques were developed and integrated into a first‐year Japanese course throughout 1997, wi…
