Faciliter la lecture-compréhension de documentations informatiques en anglais : de l'analyse à l'expérimentation didactique assistée par ordinateur / Facilitating reading comprehension in English of computer science documentation : from theory to computer-assisted teaching experiment

Joulia, Danielle 12 November 2011 (has links)
L'anglais constitue un passage obligé dans les études d'informatique, notamment la compréhension écrite de documentations, compétence première à développer chez les étudiants d'un DUT Informatique, faibles en anglais et peu motivés par une matière considérée comme mineure dans leur cursus scientifique. Notre recherche s'articule autour de solutions didactiques susceptibles de les rendre opérationnels en anglais en situation de lecture professionnelle. Nous avons privilégié une approche ascendante, inspirée par le terrain et descendante, à partir des fondements théoriques relatifs aux compétences langagières visées. Dans la première partie, qui expose le cadre théorique de la recherche, nous explicitons les termes de notre problématique (anglais de spécialité, lecture, compréhension, TICE) qui nous permirent de construire notre objet de recherche. Nous définissons ainsi l'anglais de spécialité, en tant qu'objet d'enseignement/ apprentissage et objet linguistique, étudions ce que lire et comprendre signifient, à la fois d'un point de vue cognitif et chez les didacticiens des L2, et examinons les apports des TICE à la lecture compréhension. Dans une seconde partie pratique, nous procédons à une analyse de corpus de documentations spécialisées et présentons une approche didactique mise en œuvre par le truchement d'un logiciel d'aide à la lecture, concrétisation de notre réflexion et outil de recherche, qui est expérimenté et évalué pour tester notre hypothèse d'une meilleure compréhension chez les apprenants qui ont bénéficié des aides logicielles. Nous concluons sur la validité de cette approche destinée à améliorer les stratégies de lecture de nos étudiants d'informatique. / Reading documentation is an essential skill to develop in computer science students, whose level of English is low and who are poorly motivated by English, a subject considered to be minor in a science curriculum. This research aimed at proposing learning and teaching solutions to make them proficient in reading professional texts. We selected a bottom-up approach, inspired by fieldwork, and a top-down approach from the theoretical foundations related to the language skills involved. The first part expounds the theoretical framework and clarifies the terms of our research problem (English for Specific Purposes, reading, comprehension, ICT/CALL), which allowed us to construct our object of research. ESP is thus defined as a teaching/learning and linguistic object, reading and understanding are characterized from cognitive and SLA points of view, and the contribution of ICT to reading comprehension is examined. The second part, which is more practical, contains a corpus analysis of specialized texts and presents a teaching approach implemented through a software program designed to enhance reading comprehension. The latter is then experimented to test our hypothesis of a better comprehension in student groups who used hypertext reading aids compared to control groups, thus evaluating the impact of our research tool. We conclude on the validity of this approach to improve the reading strategies of computer science students.

Rethinking Sound : Computer-assisted reading intervention with a phonics approach for deaf and hard of hearing children using cochlear implants or hearing aids

Nakeva von Mentzer, Cecilia January 2014 (has links)
In the present thesis, computer-assisted reading intervention with a phonics approach was examined in deaf and hard of hearing children (DHH) aged 5, 6 or 7 years old using cochlear implants, hearing aids or a combination of both. Children with normal hearing (NH), matched for non-verbal intelligence and age, served as a reference group. Deaf and hard of hearing children constitute a heterogenetic population regarding cognitive and academic achievement. Many of them do not reach age appropriate levels in language and reading ability during their school years, with negative consequences for later training facilities and job opportunities. Finding relevant intervention methods to promote early language learning and literacy development that are easy to implement is therefore of great importance. In this thesis three aspects of cognitive ability (phonological processing skills, lexical access and working memory capacity), and reading ability was examined at three points in time; baseline 1, pre intervention and post intervention. Additionally, computer-assisted training delivered by  means of the Internet in the children’s homes was explored in order to determine whether it would be a useful and efficient method for the DHH population. Overall, the results from the present thesis support the notion that offering a computer-assisted intervention program delivered at home, is an alternative way to support not only NH children with reading difficulties but also to support DHH children’s phonological development and decoding proficiency. / I denna avhandling undersöktes fonologisk lästräning vid datorn för döva och hörselskadade barn 5, 6 och 7 år gamla som använde cochleaimplantat, hörapparat eller en kombination av båda. Barn med normal hörsel som var matchade avseende icke-verbal intelligens och ålder utgjorde jämförelsegrupp. Döva och hörselskadade barn utgör en heterogen grupp avseende kognitiv förmåga och skolframgång. Många av dem når inte kraven för åldern avseende språk och läsförmåga under skoltiden vilket får negativa konsekvenser för senare utbildning och arbete. Att hitta relevanta interventionsmetoder för att främja tidig språkinlärning och läsutveckling som är lätta att genomföra, är därför av stor betydelse. I avhandlingen undersöktes tre aspekter av kognitiv förmåga (fonologisk bearbetningsförmåga, lexikal åtkomst och arbetsminneskapacitet) och läsförmåga vid tre tidpunkter; förtest 1, före intervention och efter intervention. Dessutom undersöktes om datorbaserad intervention som genomförs via Internet i hemmet, skulle vara en användbar och effektiv metod för döva och hörselskadade barn. Resultaten i stort visar att fonologisk lästräning vid datorn i barnens hem är en alternativ metod att stödja inte bara barn i risk att utveckla lässvårigheter, utan även döva och hörselskadade barns fonologi och avkodningsförmåga.
