Literature review journal entitled "A conceptual model incorporating Twitter as a Language Tool in ESL/EFL Learning".

welcome back and this time I will focus on explaining the method used by the author in compiling a journal entitled "A conceptual model incorporating Twitter as a Language Tool in ESL/EFL Learning".

Component                 

Description

Moderator 

Moderator is responsible to identify and drive the CoP for the success of the
ESL/EFL community.

Reader

Reader reads the posted and shared content by the EFL/ESL community. The
metadata such as time taken to read the posts/tweets; opening of the hyperlink;
playing, pausing and scrolling of the video/audio contribute in profiling the CoP.

Author

Author generates the post/tweets ESL/EFL community. The moderator
moderates the content shared by the author. The metadata such as time taken to
post/tweet; reply or like posts contribute in profiling the author’s interest in
ESL/EFL CoP.

Artifact

The artifact component is critical to generate the metadata and corpus to develop the deep insights of the ESL/EFL CoP. The corpus consists of fundamental
elements such as – tweet, retweet, likes, quote, message, share, survey.

Pre-processing

The pre-processing component contributes to the pre-processing of the data
before it undergoes mainstream analysis. Some of the pre-processing performed
over the data are- cleaning of the data, removing of unwanted characters [or
emoticons], tokenizing of the data and transforming the data to the context for
further processing.

Knowledge

The knowledge component contributes to the development of the understanding
of CoP participation towards the unified vision. The component comprises__
two focus elements- Sentiment and Thematic.

Sentiment

The sentiment component of the model helps to identify the sentiments of the
ESL/EFL CoP at all points of transaction and learning. The moderator can intervene at any time to control or drive the participation of the readers and
authors, based on the outcome of the sentiment component.

Thematic

The thematic component of the model helps the moderator to devise strategy to
prioritize and reinforce the ESL/EFL learnings and discussions.

Visualization

The moderator can track and monitor the CoP status of participation,
involvement and learning through the Visualization component of the model.

Insights

The Insights component amalgamates and synergizes the overall learning goal of the ESL/EFL community.

Feedback

The feedback component gives feedback of the insights of the model as the “raw
data” and then integrates it with other metadata and corpus to enrich and improve the ESL/EFL community learning process.

Metrics

Metrics provide measurement at the level of network, community, and
individual. Some typical metrics are – modularity, betweenness, centrality,
degree. The density can be used to identify the connectivity of the participants
for any ESL/EFL learning. It signifies the total number of links/relationships
established for ESL/EFL learning.

Introduction journal entittled "A conceptual model incorporating Twitter as a Language Tool in ESL/EFL Learning".

Welcome back to my blog site, here we will examine more about the journal that I have reviewed before, let's start reviewing it again :

Microblogging platforms with respect to Twitter have shown a promising benefit in
education. The current paper presents an integration of social network parameters with Twitter CoP learning analysis with an aim to provide several benefits to the stakeholders and also to drive the success of ESL/EFL learning ecosystem.

Microblog for ESL/EFL

Microblog is an extension of the traditional blog. While maintaining the purpose of disseminating the information, the microblogs are useful in precisely rolling out or sharing the information due to the inherent constraint of the
size of the content.

Social Network Analysis

Social network analysis has emerged as new areas of research in both social and behavioral sciences to study the relationship among social entities (Boyd 2007).

Constructing a Network Graph

First thing required for any network analysis is the establishment of the relationships among the participation entities of the network.

Visualization and characterization of the Network Graph

One of the typical analyses of the network graph is achieved with the help of descriptive modeling and inference.

Network Graph Metrics

There exists three main level of metrics by which one can get the detailed level of analysis for the social network of ESL/EFL learning and teaching CoP.

Conceptual Model

To address the gaps in the existing literature and practices on the microblog applications, such as Twitter and their
integration with social network analysis for ESL/EFL, a systematic conceptual model is proposed

I think that is enough to describe the introduction of the journal, thank you for visiting my blog 😊
