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.
