International students’ learning strategies and challenges under an English as a medium of instruction (EMI) setting: A case study at National Taipei University
Get PDFEnglish as a medium of instruction, or EMI, is the medium of instruction primarily or entirely in English, where English is not the first language. The effectiveness of English-Medium Instruction (EMI) courses on local students’ academic performance and learning experiences has been studied in Taiwan for decades. However, little research has been conducted on international students’ difficulties and learning strategies in the Taiwanese EMI context. To fill this gap, the researcher collected information from 17 non-English-speaking international students at a public university in Taiwan through observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The research found that differences in English proficiency and strategy adoption between Asian and European international students play a vital role in learning EMI courses. Asian students tended to have lower English proficiency and use social, affective, and cognitive strategies, while European students tended to have higher levels of English proficiency and use metacognitive and cognitive strategies. However, the cognitive strategies of their European peers differed significantly from those of their Asian peers. Interaction with peers, academic and non-academic stressors, and expression in English posed challenges for international student engagement in EMI courses. This research suggests that teachers should ensure inclusiveness in the curriculum and that school administrators should encourage and support international students. Students’ learning experiences in EMI courses may be enhanced by considering international students’ performance and learning styles

Psychological Approach based on Virtual Reality (VR) For Creating Successful Encounters to Improve Mobility for People with Disabilities
Get PDFThere are many untapped potentials for people with disabilities in VR environments, but there are some difficulties as well. Allowing impaired users to customize the VR environment and use alternative input devices is a huge step in removing these barriers and improving their VR experiences. As VR gains prominence in a few years, makers ought to consider into account the needs and viewpoints of people with disabilities, such as including them throughout the designing process, while developing encounters and tools that\u27s truly available for a broad variety of customers. A solution must be made available to a group of people in order to improve their standard of life; it is not sufficient to merely come up with innovative ideas and physiological improvements. This would represent a significant advancement to those more over a million disabled people who may possibly gain from VR. With this study, we hope to highlight current developments in access-improving VR methodologies. We anticipate that our study will serve as an inspiration for scholars interested in working in this area in the months to come

A Systematic Review for Uniform Survey tool on Willingness to Perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation of Layperson
Get PDFData related to the willingness to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have been collected using different questionnaires or various hypothetical scenarios for cardiac arrest. Our aim is to propose a uniform survey tool that could reasonably investigate the willingness to perform CPR. Five databases and other sources were systematically searched from February to April 2021 for articles that included willingness or barrier to perform CPR by layperson. Of the 492 papers obtained, 50 papers were summarized. Then, further selection process brought the number down to 33 after eliminating papers. Each researcher collected data using a different questionnaire and scenario. Training Achievement Inquiry (TAI) as a tool that investigates the willingness to perform CPR was proposed. TAI consisted of the following sections: A. demographic characteristics; B. willingness assessment; C. training tools; and D. outcomes. Research or reporting using TAI would contribute to strengthening CPR attitude education. TAI could be used in research that examines the change in the willingness to perform CPR before and after training and for improving lectures. However, due to the nature of willingness, which belongs to the affective domain, its objective measurement is limited and requires partial revisions of TAI according to research
