I originally wrote this paper in September 2012 as part of my teacher training. It mostly focuses on Memrise and how it can be used in an educational context. It might of use to other educators who use or think about using Memrise.
Abstract
Information and communication technologies (ICT) can be employed to provide learners with effective strategies that allow them to maximize their autonomy outside of the classroom. This includes issues of self-evaluation, aspects of learner motivation and effects on students’ reward mechanisms. I will consider how ICT can support the autonomous development of students’ lexical skills, their awareness of lexical chunks and correct use of items in various linguistic contexts. To this effect, I will analyse the results of long-term evaluation relating to knowledge, synthesis, accuracy, pronunciation and fluency. These are intrinsically linked to the impact of vocabulary learning strategies on long-term memory, the effectiveness of mnemonics designed to engage multiple intelligences and students’ ability to progress from passive to active lexis. Finally, I want to consider to what extent ICT can be used to create a community of practice marked by peer-evaluation, creativity and intrinsic motivation.
Hi there. It’s really interesting article, i’m glad to read it. Especially i like this part: “To this effect, I will analyse the results of long-term evaluation relating to knowledge, synthesis, accuracy, pronunciation and fluency.” It’s so important thing. It would be great if you share this information at https://pro-papers.com/gb/blog/. I’ll be thanksful.
That’s really nice, and I`m glad there are programs and sites which can be helpful for students. I always use everything that can help me with study. Recently I was advised the service CustomWritings, I decided to read the review about them, and found it can be trustworthy, as they deliver papers on time, and the feedback from their customers seems rather positiv
I’d say most of what I wrote in 2012 still is. Some mechanics on Memrise have changed, and the period when “Decks” was a thing caused a lot of upheaval, but that’s over.
I’m still using Memrise with my classes by the way.
Wow, I did not even know about this project. Has anyone in here actually used it?! How is it? If I am a student that just graduated from school and wants to apply for a college. Should I give it a go? I know there are many other similar projects, but I have been a member here for a while, and I would be likely to use this platform. By the way, guys, how have you prepared for your GRE?! I am so nervous about it, and I think I will not pass it. I would be very likely to Get More Information about the exam and how I should prepare for it.
