“…In the design, the students' learning psychology and their learning habits should be taken into consideration. The designed teaching strategies should adopt taskdriven, problem-oriented and other strategic activities as much as possible to stimulate the students' learning interests and thinking [15]. Second, it's essential to pay attention to the combination of the topic content and practical application, for instance, for the materials used, courseware, comments and others, it's necessary to fully consider the actual application environment and the actual needs of teaching, and constantly enrich and update the content.…”

Micro course is an emerging student-centered remote teaching tool. It offers inspirations to the teaching reform of the college course called Fundamentals of Computers. This paper introduces the status quo of the teaching and learning of the said course, and analyzes the application features of micro course, highlighting the advantages of integrating micro course with Fundamentals of Computers. On this basis, the authors established a student-centered micro course teaching system for Fundamentals of Computers, and designed the application mode of the teaching system. Contrastive experiments show that the proposed application mode improves the information awareness of teachers, stimulates the learning interest of students, and promotes the computer skills and information literacy of students.

“…United Kingdom researcher Li [12] explored tourism and hospitality management students' perceptions of social media applications for formal and informal learning. Beijing University of posts and telecommunication researcher Cheng [11] conducted a three-month study to identify L2 learners' communication strategies. The findings revealed that Chinese engineering students used different kinds of communication strategies to complete academic assignment.…”

In traditional reading class, it is a big challenge for second language learners to read authentic reading materials. This study explored how to use the most popular smartphone application LINE to assist Thai university-level students reading Chinese academic articles in class and after school. In this study, LINE group reading is applied in business Chinese reading class for Chinese major students at Assumption University, Thailand. Also, the study evaluated the effectiveness of using LINE application as a multi-channel reading platform in improving Thai undergraduates' Chinese reading proficiency. The advantages and limitations of using LINE application in business Chinese reading class were also discussed as well. The participants were 16 senior students in Assumption University where the researcher conducted the LINE application reading experiments in Business Chinese class every week. The data were collected by means of the pretest and posttest of reading comprehension, a questionnaire designed by the researcher regarding LINE group reading experiences, informal observation, interview, and the students' feedbacks to LINE application reading experiments. The results indicated that the utilization of LINE application in Chinese reading class offers more opportunities to read extensively and increases the frequency of in & out of the classroom reading activities. The participants enjoy self-selected reading, multimedia reading, and interactive reading in LINE group more than traditional reading class. By demonstrating the possibilities of using the popular social media tool as a foreign language educational tool, this study can serve as a useful reference material for teaching reading in a digital era.

“…Many prior studies on English CC have been conducted and concentrated on the aspect of students' CC (e.g., studies conducted by Cheng (2016); Clavel-Arroitia (2019); Hermosilla et al (2018); Komariah et al (2020); and Lee (2017)). However, our reviews of literature have ended up with a perception that there are still few studies on English CC with the foci central to English lecturers.…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">Regardless of varied lingua-cultural ideologies enriching the theories of communicative competence (CC), the four CC dimensions (e.g., linguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse, and communication strategies (CSs)) still become the main cores of English speaking (ES) classrooms. Of the four dimensions, CSs seem to be the most technical which deserve to be persistently studied. Hence, this study aimed to probe into ES lecturers’ performances of CSs, their efforts to improve students’ CC, and the impacts of their efforts on students’ learning according to students’ perspectives. Two ES lecturers and 10 students at a university in Indonesia were purposively selected to be the participants. They were observed and interviewed according to the study’s purposes. This study uncovered various CSs performed by ES lecturers according to several contexts, such as to understand spoken texts, to understand spoken recorded texts, and to overcome temporary communication difficulties. Various ES lecturers’ efforts were also revealed according to their functions to improve each dimension of CC. Most students perceived the lecturers’ efforts positively due to the impacts on their motivation, self-efficacy, collaborative skills, and metacognition. However, few students echoed negative perceptions about a lecturer’s native-speakerism-endorsed effort due to lingua-cultural issues. Implication, limitation, and recommendation are discussed.</p>
