Grit And Resilience In Wlsps: The Potential Of Blending Translation And Indirect Service Learning, Isabelle Drewelow, Xabier Granja Ibarreche Dec 2022

Grit And Resilience In Wlsps: The Potential Of Blending Translation And Indirect Service Learning, Isabelle Drewelow, Xabier Granja Ibarreche

Global Advances in Business Communication

This study explores how blending translation with service learning has the potential to support the development of grit and resilience. The participants collaborated on translating documents from English to Spanish for local organizations, as part of a service learning component of an advanced Spanish grammar course. Using reflection papers written by students at the end of the semester, the study adopted a qualitative interpretive approach to examine their perspectives. Students were asked to consider the skills they developed, share their perceptions of the value of the translations for the community and for themselves, and reflect on the emotions they experienced …

Online Intercultural Exchanges In A French For The Professions Course, Deborah Reisinger Dec 2022

Online Intercultural Exchanges In A French For The Professions Course, Deborah Reisinger

Global Advances in Business Communication

This research study explores the experiences of post-secondary students in the United States and the France (n=28) who participated together in synchronous online intercultural exchanges (OIE) in the context of two distinct World Languages for Specific Purposes (WLSP) courses. The study design draws on research in OIE and WLSP, as well as on the researcher’s experience conducting a pilot OIE during the pandemic (spring 2021). Findings suggest that US students benefit considerably from these exchanges, self-reporting gains in business content, cultural knowledge, and language proficiency. Enthusiasm for the project demonstrates that OIE projects can also increase learner engagement and motivation …

“Any Time, Any Place, Any Path, Any Pace:” A Curricular Design For The Teaching Of Languages For Specific Purposes In The Pandemic Era And Beyond, Steven J. Sacco, Martha Pereszlenyi-Pinter, Diana M. Ruggiero Dec 2022

“Any Time, Any Place, Any Path, Any Pace:” A Curricular Design For The Teaching Of Languages For Specific Purposes In The Pandemic Era And Beyond, Steven J. Sacco, Martha Pereszlenyi-Pinter, Diana M. Ruggiero

Global Advances in Business Communication

As US universities face unprecedented financial challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic, university officials have begun reducing and even eliminating foreign language programs. NYU marketing professor Scott Galloway is even predicting the demise of dozens of US colleges and universities as they depend almost exclusively on tuition (Galloway, 2020). Public health officials question whether pre-pandemic educational conditions will resume even after the end of the pandemic. Costly safety measures at schools and universities will have to be implemented. To safeguard the teaching of LSP courses, this essay proposes the adoption of a Center for LSP Studies, preferably anchored at a …

Predicting Publication Of Clinical Trials Using Structured And Unstructured Data: Model Development And Validation Study, Siyang Wang, Simon Šuster, Timothy Baldwin, Karin Verspoor Dec 2022

Predicting Publication Of Clinical Trials Using Structured And Unstructured Data: Model Development And Validation Study, Siyang Wang, Simon Šuster, Timothy Baldwin, Karin Verspoor

Natural Language Processing Faculty Publications

Background: Publication of registered clinical trials is a critical step in the timely dissemination of trial findings. However, a significant proportion of completed clinical trials are never published, motivating the need to analyze the factors behind success or failure to publish. This could inform study design, help regulatory decision-making, and improve resource allocation. It could also enhance our understanding of bias in the publication of trials and publication trends based on the research direction or strength of the findings. Although the publication of clinical trials has been addressed in several descriptive studies at an aggregate level, there is a lack …

Library Publications and Administrative Reports

This year’s stories highlight successes and transformations, which will remain woven into the fabric of our organization. Instituting contactless pick-up for library materials is an example of learning how to quickly bring together people to solve immediate problems. We also became more effective at engaging with our constituencies.

Assisting The Human Fact-Checkers: Detecting All Previously Fact-Checked Claims In A Document, Shaden Shaar, Nikola Georgiev, Firoj Alam, Giovanni Da San Martino, Aisha Mohamed, Preslav Nakov Dec 2022

Assisting The Human Fact-Checkers: Detecting All Previously Fact-Checked Claims In A Document, Shaden Shaar, Nikola Georgiev, Firoj Alam, Giovanni Da San Martino, Aisha Mohamed, Preslav Nakov

Natural Language Processing Faculty Publications

Given the recent proliferation of false claims online, there has been a lot of manual fact-checking effort. As this is very time-consuming, human fact-checkers can benefit from tools that can support them and make them more efficient. Here, we focus on building a system that could provide such support. Given an input document, it aims to detect all sentences that contain a claim that can be verified by some previously fact-checked claims (from a given database). The output is a re-ranked list of the document sentences, so that those that can be verified are ranked as high as possible, together …

Overview Of The Wanlp 2022 Shared Task On Propaganda Detection In Arabic, Firoj Alam, Hamdy Mubarak, Wajdi Zaghouani, Giovanni Da San Martino, Preslav Nakov

Natural Language Processing Faculty Publications

Propaganda is the expression of an opinion or an action by an individual or a group deliberately designed to influence the opinions or the actions of other individuals or groups with reference to predetermined ends, which is achieved by means of well-defined rhetorical and psychological devices. Propaganda techniques are commonly used in social media to manipulate or to mislead users. Thus, there has been a lot of recent research on automatic detection of propaganda techniques in text as well as in memes. However, so far the focus has been primarily on English. With the aim to bridge this language gap, …

Elevating The Queer Body, Grant Mahan Dec 2022

Elevating The Queer Body, Grant Mahan

Graduate Theses

Elevating the Queer Body is an art based exploration in removing objectification in the visual consumption of my own queer body. Throughout this thesis, I explain the experience of queer objectification, and how to overcome it through abstraction in a painting practice. This research comprises spiritual ideologies, as well as the history of abstraction, to inspire me in creating an ethically consumed representation of my figure. This is achieved through an abstract depiction and veiling of my figure. Presented compositions are overlaid with Islamic inspired devotion and ornamentation as a form of elevating the body itself.

Faculty And Staff Perceptions Of Their Roles In Preparing Students For College And Career Readiness: A Qualitative Exploration Of High Schools, Community Colleges, And Universities, Monica Ruiz Dec 2022

Faculty And Staff Perceptions Of Their Roles In Preparing Students For College And Career Readiness: A Qualitative Exploration Of High Schools, Community Colleges, And Universities, Monica Ruiz

Theses & Dissertations

In 2020, nearly half of Texas’s 385,000 public high school graduates were unprepared for college-level reading or math. Limited research reveals K-12 faculty perceive limited roles and responsibilities in the college process, relying heavily on guidance counselors and college admissions counselors for preparing students for college and careers. The purpose of this study was to help fill this gap by answering the central research question: How do high school and college-level faculty and staff prepare high school students for college and careers? I chose a qualitative, interpretive design to explore educators’ individual and shared social meanings and interpretations. I used …

Lee Kong Chian School Of Business Year In Review 2021-2022, Singapore Management University

SMU Corporate Reports

As Singapore and the world reopens, this has led to changes, especially as people feel safe to travel abroad again. This has impacted us of course. We have seen an 8.9 percent drop in undergraduate applications from our 2022 high. This decline is due in no small part to the relaxation of travel restrictions. However, despite the drop, the quality of applications this year is similar or maybe even slightly better than the year before. In the end, we matriculated 884 students, above our target. This includes 38 scholarship recipients who accepted our offer, representing a record yield. We have …
