Abstract:
This thesis brings together research in the fields of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and design for learning to investigate CALL design. It explores ways of connecting CALL design to design for learning and the wider educational design community in pursuit of advancing CALL design and producing new design knowledge for all. It draws on various frameworks and approaches of design for learning for the theoretical framing, design, analysis, and methodological modelling of six separate but interrelated research studies presented and discussed in this thesis.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to study some of the challenges that the Kurdish language and its standardization face, and offer a bottom-up solution through the “collective intelligence” and “good faith collaboration” of Wikipedia. Therefore, the fragmentation in the Kurdish language—caused by both external factors and those that are inherent to the language itself— is discussed and analyzed. Furthermore, this thesis describes some of the efforts that have been made to unify the Kurdish language, its dialects and its different writing systems.

Abstract:
Language is in constant flux, whether through the creation of new terms or the changing meanings of existing words. The process by which language change happens is through complex reinforcing interactions between individuals and the social structures in which they exist. There has been much research into language change and evolution, though this has involved manual processes that are both time consuming and costly. However, with the growth in popularity of osn, for the first time, researchers have access to fine-grained records of language and user interactions that not only contain data on t

Abstract:
In adopting the Conversation Analysis approach as the theoretical framework for this study, this thesis seeks to investigate the multiple other-repair initiation practices that target the same trouble source in second language interactions between L1-L2 and L2-L2 speakers of English. The concept of multiple other-repair initiation in this study is defined as a series of other-repair initiations (ORIs) that are repeatedly generated to address the same trouble source. A review of the existing literature has revealed that the phenomenon of ‗multiples‘ has received little attention. In light of th

Abstract:
Attrition among students in online courses worldwide is well-documented at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels. However, little is yet known about the reason for attrition among in-service teachers in online training. Online education aims to provide access to education for the masses, but with higher attrition rates, it may be viewed as less effective than traditional education. This study explored factors that influenced attrition and persistence among teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in an online teacher training environment. Tinto's Community of Inquiry fra
