Intégration du web social dans les systèmes de recommandation / Social web integration in recommendation systemsNana jipmo, Coriane 19 December 2017 (has links)
Le Web social croît de plus en plus et donne accès à une multitude de ressources très variées, qui proviennent de sites de partage tels que del.icio.us, d’échange de messages comme Twitter, des réseaux sociaux à finalité professionnelle, comme LinkedIn, ou plus généralement à finalité sociale, comme Facebook et LiveJournal. Un même individu peut être inscrit et actif sur différents réseaux sociaux ayant potentiellement des finalités différentes, où il publie des informations diverses et variées, telles que son nom, sa localité, ses communautés, et ses différentes activités. Ces informations (textuelles), au vu de la dimension internationale du Web, sont par nature, d’une part multilingue, et d’autre part, intrinsèquement ambiguë puisqu’elles sont éditées par les individus en langage naturel dans un vocabulaire libre. De même, elles sont une source de données précieuses, notamment pour les applications cherchant à connaître leurs utilisateurs afin de mieux comprendre leurs besoins et leurs intérêts. L’objectif de nos travaux de recherche est d’exploiter, en utilisant essentiellement l’encyclopédie Wikipédia, les ressources textuelles des utilisateurs extraites de leurs différents réseaux sociaux afin de construire un profil élargi les caractérisant et exploitable par des applications telles que les systèmes de recommandation. En particulier, nous avons réalisé une étude afin de caractériser les traits de personnalité des utilisateurs. De nombreuses expérimentations, analyses et évaluations ont été réalisées sur des données réelles collectées à partir de différents réseaux sociaux. / The social Web grows more and more and gives through the web, access to a wide variety of resources, like sharing sites such as del.icio.us, exchange messages as Twitter, or social networks with the professional purpose such as LinkedIn, or more generally for social purposes, such as Facebook and LiveJournal. The same individual can be registered and active on different social networks (potentially having different purposes), in which it publishes various information, which are constantly growing, such as its name, locality, communities, various activities. The information (textual), given the international dimension of the Web, is inherently multilingual and intrinsically ambiguous, since it is published in natural language in a free vocabulary by individuals from different origin. They are also important, specially for applications seeking to know their users in order to better understand their needs, activities and interests. The objective of our research is to exploit using essentially the Wikpédia encyclopedia, the textual resources extracted from the different social networks of the same individual in order to construct his characterizing profile, which can be exploited in particular by applications seeking to understand their users, such as recommendation systems. In particular, we conducted a study to characterize the personality traits of users. Many experiments, analyzes and evaluations were carried out on real data collected from different social networks.

Teachers’ experience of using L1 in the F-3 classroom: An action research projectNkembo, Catarina January 2019 (has links)
In Sweden and in many places around the world there is a great discussion about using L1 or not in teaching. The fact that 43% of the pupils having a parent speaking another language do not qualify for upper secondary studies in Sweden is worrying. The aim of the thesis was to collect a classroom teacher's experiences and how the teacher perceived the pupils' participation and the perspectives of the mother tongue teacher over three lessons. The research was carried out in a multilingual grade 3, consisting of 19 pupils. The focus was the experience of the classroom teacher and mother tongue teachers. The result was positive for pupils in many ways but the organisation of how to use L1 is an issue to solve. The data collection was carried out through observations from three lessons and interviews with teacher and mother tongue teachers. Recommendations for further studies include to get a better point of view concerning the organisation round mother tongue tuition and how the pupils develop their knowledge. / <p>Educational work/ English</p><p>Pedagogiskt arbete/ Engelska</p>

Constructing L3 selves : a study of undergraduate learners' motivation to learn a third language in ChinaWang, Tianyi January 2019 (has links)
This study conceptualises Chinese language-major undergraduates' motivation to learn a third language (L3) from a self perspective. Two overarching aims were adopted to guide the research: how learners' L3 motivation was formulated and reformulated over the course of one year of learning an L3 and whether classroom intervention could help learners to construct their L3 motivation. This research adopted a longitudinal case study design and was situated in a state university in China. Students who had chosen to learn an L3 as their major and English majors who were required to learn an L3 participated in the research. To achieve the two principal research aims, the data collection process was divided into two phases. The goal of the first phase was to explore the development of my participants' L3 motivation without any intervention. Qualitative research methods were employed during this phase and data were gathered from open questionnaires, interviews, class observation and written journals. In the second phase, an intervention was carried out to explore how to construct my participants' ideal L3 selves. A quasi-experimental design was employed and mixed methods were adopted. Analysis was primarily guided by the L2 Motivational Self System and was carried out at both at class level and individual level. At a class level, findings suggest that both L3 majors' and English majors' L3 motivation was mainly constituted on the basis of their ideal L3 selves, ought-to L3 selves and L3 learning experiences, which were constantly constructed and reconstructed over the course of learning. Notably, learners' motivational trajectories did not display a homogenous pattern at the group level. In total, six different motivational patterns were identified, three from English majors and three from L3 majors. It was also interesting to identify that a few learners developed a type of multilingually oriented motivation during their L3 learning. Data collected at the second phase of fieldwork revealed that the intervention was effective in helping English majors to construct their ideal L3 selves but less useful in the case of L3 majors. At the individual level, six cases were analysed in depth to investigate how the trajectories identified at the group level developed temporally and contextually. The analysis shows that the construction of these learners' L3 motivation involved a complex interplay between their future L3 selves and current L3 learning experience. It was through this process that learners explored the relationship between the L3 and their self-identification, and attempted to develop their personal meaning of learning an L3. On the basis of the empirical evidence, this thesis argues that the construction of learners' L3 motivation hinges on exploration of the position of the L3 in their self-identification, and that class intervention might help learners to realise the importance of learning an L3 by helping them to develop their ideal L3 selves, at least in the case of non-L3-major students. Moreover, this study suggests that it is crucial for L3 learners in China to recognise the value of being multilingual, which plays an essential role in constructing their L3 selves and sustaining their L3 motivation.

Spice Up Your Library With Pura Belpre! Using Award-Winning Titles and Crafts to Engage Hispanic Children and Celebrate DiversityParrott, Deborah, Lyons, Reneé C. 26 June 2016 (has links)
Recent statistical studies suggest the proportion of Hispanic students within our nation’s classrooms is growing at a significant rate, experiencing the highest increase in numbers of any other ethnic group. These students require resources conducive to English language learning which also honor the Hispanic/Latino culture. Yet, out of 3,400 books received by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC) in 2011, only 52 were penned or created by Latino authors/ illustrators. This number is expected to decline over the coming years. This insufficiency is an enormous challenge to librarians who strive to empower the Hispanic student population and promote cultural diversity among all students.
Empowering Learners, (p. 53) reminds us that librarians offer materials and services to accommodate the needs of children for whom English is a second language. The library program ideally seeks to reflect the linguistic and cultural pluralism of our country.
How can we arise to this need? Librarians succeed in supporting Hispanic students by utilizing Pura Belpré award-winning titles. This accolade is presented annually by the Association of Library Services to Children (a division of the ALA) to a Latino/Latina writer and illustrator whose work “best portrays, affirms, and celebrates the Latino cultural experience in an outstanding work of literature for children and youth,” embodying the essence of the Latino culture.
The promotion of Pura Belpre’ titles, the delivery of associated crafts and activities as well as the use of online resources serve as indispensable tools to assist the librarian in enriching the literary experiences of Hispanic learners and celebrating the Latino heritage with all children.
In our session, we share in-depth knowledge of selected titles with correlating crafts and activities. Attendees will leave the session with practical, concrete instructional ideas, ready for immediate use.
