The progress of learners in the acquisition of a new language (L2) is often measured by standards set for teaching in the 1950’s by behaviourism. according to this view, the learner’s language is considered to be an incorrect version of the target language and mistakes are explained in terms of lack of practice. This approach was proved inaccurate by later language acquisition theories and research. Now it has been shown that the process of L2 development is characterized by both positive changes and regresses. L2 develops under the influence of many factors with formal instruction being only one of them. The L2 development depends on how the brain processes information, the cognitive maturity of the learner, previous linguistic experience, time limitations, the individual’s phychological characteristics and the social circumstances of learning. This paper examines three models of second language acquisition and teaching methods based on these models, with a specific focus on the characteristics of the learners’ developing speech. The facts in the article provide a better understanding of the ongoing learning process and can be used for the interpretation of classroom results.
CMPL (Coliop Mathematical Programming Language) is a mathematical programming language for modelling linear programming (LP) problems or mixed integer programming (MIP) problems. The CMPL syntax is similar in formulation to the the original mathematical model but also includes syntactic elements from modern programming languages. CMPL is intended to combine the clarity of mathematical models with the flexibility of programming languages. CMPL transforms the mathematical problem into MPS, Free-MPS or OSiL (see https://projects.coin-or.org/OS or http://www.optimizationservices.org) files which can be used with certain solvers. CMPL is also a part of Coliop3 which is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) intended to solve LP and MIP problems. CMPL is an open source project licensed under GPL. It is written in C and is available for all relevant operating systems. CMPL and Coliop3 are projects of the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau and the Institute for Operations Research and Business Management at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. For further information please visit the CMPL/Coliop3 website (www.coliop.org).
The COMBLE project defines new and innovative models for the use of Blended learning in different educational backgrounds (vocational training, enterprises, universities, public bodies). To use the potentials of Blended learning a European wiki-based community called Methopedia will be established. By contributing to the development of Blended learning COMBLE supports ICT relevant methods that are indispensable for lifelong learning in Europe. Moreover, COMBLE will address to management-level, learners and trainers at the same time. We will develop a number of products - an applied reference model of Blended Learning, an expert course for trainers, and a European Blended Learning Driver’s Licence within the overall frame of the Methopedia. These products support the development of a community for best practices and the use of Blended Learning to be used in all educational contexts. Moreover, the quality of education and training in Europe will be enhanced by improving innovative Blended Learning concepts. COMBLE supports the successful implementation of Blended learning methods and strategies in the formal learning context of Vocational training, Continued Professional Development and Higher education systems. By working closely with application partners COMBLE develops practical, situated and innovative Blended Learning methods.
