Opis:
The utter importance of knowing the English language cannot be denied today. Despite the existence of traditional methods for teaching a language in schools, a big number of children are left without the requisite knowledge of English as a result of which they fail to compete in the modern world. With English being a Lingua Franca, more efforts are mandatory to foster the English language learning abilities. This can be achieved by improving the traditional method of teaching by providing alternative means to ameliorate the effort. Keeping these aspects in view, research is being conducted to evaluate the performance of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course) and MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning) to teach a language. However, this particular research will bring into the limelight a set of social networking applications commonly found in a mobile phone, which can serve as potential English Language Learning tools, due to the versatility of their features. Keeping in view the theories of Mastery Learning, Operant Conditioning, Sense of Community and Task-Based Teaching Principles, the social networking applications will be assessed. Therefore, this descriptive research aims to bring awareness on how the applications can be utilized to enhance task-based learning of English Language.

Opis:
This study investigates the potential, in relation to learning and using English, which exists in the current access to and use of new technological devices by university students who are not native speakers of English. As an example case, the availability of a range of devices to 138 Saudi English and Business students at a Saudi university was ascertained through a survey, along with their current use both in general, and specifically involving English, both on and off campus. Students and teachers were also interviewed in order to illuminate the further enhancement of student use of their devices for English improvement. The findings indicate that a range of electronic devices, especially smart phones and laptops, are owned by, or to a lesser extent accessible in other ways to, students. English majors however far outstrip Business majors in access to and use of devices. A considerable proportion of use of devices, especially by English majors, is already English-related. On two measures, it is the smart phone which has the greatest potential for further exploitation in relation to English, followed by the laptop and tablet, and for English majors the TV. Based on teacher and student comments, recommendations are made for such English as a foreign language contexts as to how best to move forward to exploit this potential for both groups of students.

Opis:
Od połowy lat 90. XX wieku centra handlowe na trwale zaistniały też w krajobrazie polskich miast. Ich forma i funkcja z biegiem czasu zmienia się podążając za światowymi trendami i zmieniającymi się wymaganiami klienta. Wiele z tych obiektów nie tylko wpisało się na stałe w krajobraz, ale także wytworzyło wartość dodaną, ducha miejsca (Genius loci). Niektóre stały się magnesem przyciągającym mieszkańców i turystów. Na przykładzie łódzkiej Manufaktury, warszawskiej Galerii Mokotów oraz katowickiej Silesii chcę pokazać, że centrum handlowe może stanowić centrum życia osiedla lub dzielnicy. Pełni funkcje społeczne i mieści w sobie szeroką gamę usług rozrywkowo-rekreacyjnych oraz kulturalnych i edukacyjnych takich jak galerie sztuki, kina, akwaria, planetaria, parki wodne, ścianki wspinaczkowe, dyskoteki, kręgielnie. Wszystko to pod jednym dachem w bezpiecznej, klimatyzowanej, starannie zaaranżowanej przestrzeni, co jest zgodne z zamysłem twórcy malli Victora Gruena, dla którego centra handlowe miały naśladować klimat miasta, a zakupy miało się w nich robić niejako przy okazji.
Since the mid-90s of the twentieth century, shopping centers found their place also in the landscape of Polish cities. Their forms and function changes over time following the global trends and varying customer needs. Many of these objects are not only inscribed permanently in the city landscape, but also created added value, spirit of place (genius loci). Some have become a magnet for locals and tourists. Taking as an example Manufaktura in Łódź, Mokotów Gallery in Warsaw and Silesia in Katowice I would like to show that a shopping center can be a vivid center of residential district or neighborhood full of social functions. And it accommodates a wide range of entertainment and recreational as well as cultural and educational programs, such as art galleries, cinema, aquariums, planetariums, water parks, climbing walls, discos, bowling alleys etc. All under one roof in a secure, air-conditioned, carefully arranged space. All that is consistent with the plan of the mall creator Victor Gruen, for whom malls should imitate the atmosphere of the city, and the shopping was to do by the way.

Opis:
In the last decades, the focus of ESP teaching has been shifting from the grammatical analysis of technical texts to discourse analysis, and, more recently, to learner-centred approaches. This change is quite challenging and demanding for ESP teachers, in particular regarding the choice of effective teaching and learning methodologies and, consequently, the design of meaningful activities. Furthermore, it is also relevant to rethink educational processes to meet the students’ needs, in particular given the unceasing digital transformation and its societal impact. In this scenario, the ubiquity of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) was integrated in the design of a teaching and learning strategy, by using an Electronic Classroom Response System (CRS) within a game-based activity to learn Business English Terminology (BET). The activity was first tested in academic year 2014/15, with students enrolled in a Management undergraduate degree at ESTGA – University of Aveiro. Given the results of a preliminary study, the authors decided to undertake an empirical diachronic research (3 academic years), aiming at verifying if the game-based MALL strategy using a CRS promoted the students’ learning success in what concerns i) the identification and use of business English (BE) acronyms and other abbreviations, and ii) the accurate integration of BET in written text. The teaching materials were validated by two former Management students and two specialists (one in ESP and another in English Didactics). A total of 67 students participated in this study and the results of the statistical data analysis – using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and the Friedman test – confirm that the strategy supports the study of BE acronyms and other abbreviations, but their accurate integration in written text needs further study.

Opis:
Today it is hard to imagine a large modern city without a shopping mall. Actually mall emerged as a kind of city center for periphery residents. However, in today’s fast paced life the concept of “everything under one roof” has become an integral part of the urban structure. Mall makes it possible to meet not one but a number of needs at once. The fact that mall is analogous to city centre is confirmed not only by their functional content similarity, but also by structure. Like urban web is anchored at nodes of human activity, “shopping mall web” is anchored on nodes of retail and entertainment spaces. Like urban structures have a hierarchy of connections (from footpaths to roads), shopping mall structure has a hierarchy of social spaces (from side malls to the centre court). Despite this similarity, the socialization and communication problems in shopping malls remain unsolved. In this study the comparative analysis of urban and shopping mall structures was performed. We defined the key urban structure principles suitable for effective formation of social and public spaces of malls.

Opis:
This paper seeks to help clarify whether Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is primarily an independent self-study activity or whether MALL classrooms exist. The research hypothesised that a large number of users frequently using specific MALL apps, at the same time and in the same city location, may indicate the existence of MALL classrooms. The research makes use of big data, in the form of Google Analytics data, collected from two EFL learning mobile apps. The data was gathered over a five month period, in 2015, from more than 6,000 cities worldwide. The research, in doing so, opens a sociological window into the world of MALL, providing a sample of actual user behaviour. The results strongly suggest that independent study is almost certainly the main form of MALL activity. However, the research also concludes that MALL classroom-driven activity may exist in some cities.

Opis:
This paper looks at the term “safety culture of an organisation”. In this context, it was necessary to define “technical safety culture” to stress the importance of the process approach, which is the manifestation of the use of technical procedures within safety culture in the interest of improving technical safety on the example of a shopping mall. Emphasis has been placed on the role of legal acts for ensuring technical safety. The paper discussed the role of technical systems that contribute to safety of a commercial facility. The technical procedures, in turn, have been discussed with reference to the actions that contribute to working order of devices and installations in the analysed facility. The structure of the target system of technical safety management in a shopping mall has been proposed in the process approach. Requirements have been discussed in reference to working order of devices and their defectiveness and its causes have been analysed. The paper also discusses the necessity of initiating necessary actions aimed at improvement of the existing situation with safety taken into consideration, including technical safety as a core value in the culture of an organisation.
Odniesiono się do pojęcia „kultury bezpieczeństwa organizacji”. W tym kontekście określono pojęcie „kultury bezpieczeństwa technicznego”. Na przykładzie galerii handlowej wskazano na znaczenie podejścia procesowego, będącego przejawem wykorzystania procedur technicznych w ramach kultury bezpieczeństwa na rzecz poprawy bezpieczeństwa technicznego. Zwrócono uwagę na rolę aktów prawnych dla zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa technicznego. Omówiono systemy techniczne działające na rzecz bezpieczeństwa obiektu handlowego. Procedury techniczne omówiono w odniesieniu do działań na rzecz sprawności urządzeń i instalacji w badanym obiekcie. Zaproponowano schemat docelowego systemu zarządzania bezpieczeństwem technicznym w galerii handlowej w ujęciu procesowym. Omówiono wymagania dotyczące sprawności urządzeń oraz zanalizowano ich usterkowość i przyczyny ich występowania. Wskazano konieczność podjęcia niezbędnych działań mających na celu poprawę istniejącej sytuacji, uwzględniając przy tym bezpieczeństwo, także bezpieczeństwo techniczne jako wartość zawartą w kulturze organizacji.

Jakkolwiek kształtowanie sie centrów handlowych w przestrzeni zurbanizowanej nie stanowi nowego zjawiska, to jednak nadal badania nad fenomenem centrów handlowych stanowią bardzo istotny przedmiot zainteresowania wielu dyscyplin naukowych. Na podstawie przeprowadzonej analizy literatury wyróżniono i scharakteryzowano dwa okresy badawcze. Pierwszy – podstawowy (do 1956 roku) – stanowi punkt wyjścia w badaniach, przedstawiając genezę i kształtowanie sie pierwotnej formuły centrum handlowego. Drugi – zaawansowany (po 1956 roku) – obejmuje krystalizacje czterech głównych nurtów badawczych określonych jako: techniczny, lokalizacyjny, ekonomiczno-organizacyjny i  behawioralny. Pomiędzy nimi można zauważyć wiele wzajemnych i  złożonych zależności, które ze względu na pojawianie sie nowych wyspecjalizowanych płaszczyzn badawczych podlegają nieustannej ewolucji.
Shopping centres are not a recent form of commerce activity in urban areas. The very beginning of this kind of trade organization in United States goes back into the past as far as the first decades of the twentieth century. in the last decade of the same century, shopping centres reached the stage of maturity, both in America and in Europe. Nevertheless, new, multidimensional studies in this subject are still carried out and they are characterized with high dynamism. On the basis of extended literature survey, the author has decided to divide the entire research period into two phases. The first, fundamental one (until 1956) is a starting point of all studies, defining a genesis and evolution of the initial form of shopping centre concept. The second, mature phase (after 1956), encounters a separation of four major research lines, i.e.: technical, localization, system-economical and behavioural. All the above mentioned parts work and interact with each other, creating a complex system of mutual dependencies, which undergoes permanent evolution under the influence of new, specialized research branches.

Niniejszy artykuł stanowi przykład analiz ruchu związanego z wybraną galerią handlową. Obiekty te stanowią bardzo duże generatory ruchu, wpływające na obciążenie sieci drogowo-ulicznej nie tylko w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie, ale także na większym obszarze. Przedstawiono w nim zmienność potoków ruchu klientów i samochodów korzystających z galerii, a także stopnia wykorzystania parkingu. Podjęta została próba zamodelowania udziału komunikacji indywidualnej (mającej bezpośredni związek z obciążeniem parkingu) oraz czasu pobytu w galerii w zależności od odległości przyjazdu jej klientów.
The article states an example of analysis of traffic associated with selected shopping mall. These objects are very large traffic generators, which affect the load on road and street network not only in the immediate vicinity, but also in a wider area. The article presents the variability of the customer traffic flows and cars travelling to the shopping mall, as well as the rate of parking lot utilization. The attempt to model the share of private cars (directly influencing on the load of parking lot), and the time of stay at the shopping mall with the reference to the distance of arrival of its customers have been carried out.

This study investigated EFL learners’ perspectives about their vocabulary learning experiences via a smartphone application. An online demographic questionnaire was used for recruiting 50 EFL learners from a language teaching channel in Telegram messenger required to use a smartphone application called Vocabulary Flashcards 2016 for a month. After finishing the sampling procedure, the participants were asked to take part in Dialang online diagnostic test to specify their vocabulary level proficiency based on CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). The quantitative and qualitative data were collected utilizing evaluation questionnaires and semi-structured interviews respectively. The evaluation questionnaire adapted from Chapelle’s (2001) evaluation criterion was used to evaluate the application from the users’ perspectives. This study investigated the effects of learners’ proficiency level and gender differences on using the application, and their perspectives on the negative and positive aspects of the application were also uncovered. The findings showed that the users held positive attitudes towards the application because it influenced their learning positively and provided them with both form and meaning-focused instruction, but they were dissatisfied with the app’s levels and authenticity. Results of independent t-test and ANOVA respectively showed that gender and vocabulary proficiency level did not make significant difference on participants’ app usage patterns. The findings of this study highlighted the users’ localized needs which could be used as guidelines for customized vocabulary apps’ development purposes. The study’s implications for learners, teachers, and app developers are discussed in detail.

Computer Assisted Learning (CALL) is defined as the process in which a learner improves language skills by using a computer. Hani (2014) argued that CALL enables individualized, continuous, and authentic activities to teach and integrate the four language skills and indicates that immediate feedback can be given. Thus, this research aims to investigate and analyze the use of Twitter to improve writing skills on senior high school students and to determine its effectiveness as a tool in EAP instruction. The participants were 19 students from the senior level and an English teacher. To conduct this research, a mixed-method design was applied; and a survey and pre-post tests were administered to the participants. At the end of the research process, the participants outperformed on post-testing of writing, therefore, it can be concluded that Twitter is an effective tool to improve the written production of senior high school students, and this micro-blogging platform can be integrated to enhance EAP instruction within EFL contexts.

Many studies have confirmed the importance of tasks on language learning. Nowadays, many teachers apply different kinds of tasks in their classrooms. The current study investigated the effect of mobile assisted language learning tasks (MALL) on participants’ English grammar learning. The researcher administered a pre-validated grammar test to 90 junior high school participants aged between 14 to 16 with the mean age 15. The researcher taught grammar to both groups inductively and asked the participants to do their assignments according to their group’s tasks. Based on the post-test results, it can be concluded that the experimental groups had better results than the control group. The study supports the hypothesis that sharing tasks in virtual networks can have positive results for language learning, specifically grammar learning.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) as compared to paper-based instruction in the development of Iranian EFL elementary learners’ writing skills. The research purpose was threefold: 1) to investigate the effect of MALL on elementary learners’ writing skills; 2) to make a comparison between the obtained results of MALL and pencil-and-paper methods, and 3) to assess elementary students’ attitudes about learner involvement in collaborative learning (CL) settings through mobile phone (MPh) interactions. For this purpose, 30 Iranian EFL elementary students were selected and randomly assigned to two groups: one experimental and one control. While the experimental sample received mobile-based instructions on their writing assignments, the students in the placebo group were provided with only paper-based instruction. The findings revealed that the participants in both groups showed considerable improvement on the immediate and delayed writing post-tests; however, on average, those in the experimental MALL group were shown to have outperformed the students in the control group significantly. Not surprisingly, the learners in the treatment group had made fewer errors on the targeted grammatical structures like the use of adjectives, possessives and simple present tense compared to those in the control sample. Finally, the results of the post hoc interview reflected that MALL learners felt positively about the utility of mobile technology in writing classes. Essentially, the findings could be of great help to EFL teachers, EFL learners, and course designers.

Opis:
This study devised a pronunciation computer program to examine whether mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) could facilitate college students’ acquisition of English phonemes and word stress. Thirty-eight participants enrolled in the remedial English class offered at the language center of a national technological university in central Taiwan. Before the class, they were asked to read a word list. In the following six weeks, they were taught to distinguish and articulate English phonemes and to predict word stress locations using the designed computer program. They were also instructed to review the learning materials using the smart-phone version of the devised program. After the teaching session, each participant was asked again to read the same word list and fill out an assessment questionnaire. The sound analyses show that their readings of English minimal pairs and word stress placement were more accurate than their performances before the instruction. Their responses to the questionnaire indicate that both the given instruction and the designed computer program were satisfactory. In the open-ended questions, some of them said that they have built up a better understanding of phonemes and word stress, and that they would try to predict polysyllabic word stress when reading English articles. The present findings can be further applied to research on MALL-based English pronunciation acquisition.

This study examined the extent to which English as a Foreign Language (EFL) high-school students believed mobile devices increase learning and learner satisfaction in the Thai school/classroom context, and whether they are prepared for autonomous learning using these devices. The participants were 277 students in eight high-schools in Southern Thailand who completed a questionnaire constructed around the core competencies of 21st century learning skills and autonomous traits in relation to mobile device use. The findings indicated that students had access/ability to use mobile devices, and either agreed/strongly agreed that mobile devices increase their learning potential and satisfaction, suggesting they are ready for autonomous learning using mobile devices in partnership with their 21st century learning skills. Recommendations are made for teachers and policy-makers to allow students to complement their learning using mobile devices.
