The development of the ADDIE model is one of the models that uses systematic design. The ADDIE model has five steps that need to be carried out sequentially because they are systematic, namely Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Development, 4) Implementation, 5) Evaluation. This study used a sample of 2 class teachers and 34 elementary school students who are in the City of Parepare Indonesia. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative research type.

Authors:Xiaoting Yin, Chunyan Huang Abstract: Private universities play a significant role in China's national education system and are a crucial component of the education reform process. Their rapid development and progress are supported by favorable national policies, garnering recognition and support from the general public. In the fiercely competitive talent landscape, teachers serve as the backbone of private universities and are essential to their growth. Effective human resource management aims to mobilize faculty and staff enthusiasm, achieved through a systematic salary plan, fair performance evaluations, transparent competition mechanisms, and scientific incentive distribution. This article focuses on studying the incentive mechanism for teachers at Jiangxi University of Engineering, using questionnaire surveys and interviews to identify issues such as high teacher mobility and incomplete incentive systems. By combining incentive theory and experiences from foreign universities, the study aims to explore motivational principles and propose solutions to enhance the current incentive mechanisms. The ultimate goal is to offer valuable insights for improving teacher incentives in private universities across China. PubDate: 2023-11-24 Issue No:Vol. 12 (2023)
Authors:Xiuyin Sun Abstract: As one of the essential theoretical concepts in sociocultural theory, social learning addresses that any learning is fundamentally a social learning process, which results from the interaction between individuals and their social context. The principal aim of this study is to explore what has come out of the social learning process in a case of a iCALL-based EFL writing course in a university in China. The study investigated 54 learners’ attitudes towards the iCALL-based English writing course and what they really gained from peers’ interaction (reading and commenting on peers’ writings). Data was collected by means of structured and semi-structured questionnaire, open-ended interview, and collection of online-texts; data analysis was done both quantitatively and qualitatively via SPSSAU, coding and content analysis. The results demonstrate that the majority of the students have a positive attitude toward this iCALL-based English writing course, and their gains from the dialogic activity include not only their improvement in language writing ability, but also non-linguistic aspects falling into the following four aspects: cognitive domain, meta-cognitive domain, affective domain, and meaning of life. The researcher concludes that the social learning process in this case was not only a good source for languaging, which leads to the improvement of learners’ language ability in the process of joint construction, but also a good source for affective and social communication within the learning community.

Authors:Dai Fangfang Abstract: This article explores how social interactions and culture affect Chinese EFL learners during study abroad (SA).The participants, native Chinese speakers learning English as a foreign language spent varying durations in English-speaking countries. A comparative analysis was conducted, differentiating between participants engaged in a two-semester SA and those in a two-academic-year SA, revealing nuanced variations in the findings. Surprisingly, these variations were more strongly associated with Willingness to Communicate (WTC) than the duration of the SA. Furthermore, examining the duration since participants’ return to China hinted individual differences in the perceived effects of their SA and subsequent acculturation. Notably, individuals who spent more time back in their home country after SA tended to develop a stronger sense of identification with their native culture. Intriguingly, these individuals also exhibited a heightened sensitivity to cultural shocks during their SA. The study also explored the correlation between cultural adaptability, strength of ethnic consciousness, and learners’ English proficiency, positing that this dynamic is unstable. The cultural and linguistic effects revealed by these findings provide valuable insights for learners contemplating studying abroad. Additionally, they bear significant pedagogical implications for EFL classroom teaching, both domestically and internationally. PubDate: 2023-11-24 Issue No:Vol. 12 (2023)
Authors:Chunyan Huang, Xiaoting Yin Abstract: Digital transformation represents a significant trend within the accounting domain, exerting a profound influence on conventional accounting processes, financial reporting, and decision-support capabilities. Primarily, it has revolutionized the accounting process by integrating sophisticated digital technologies and tools, enabling real-time data collection and processing, and thereby enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of accounting tasks. Secondly, digital transformation has played a pivotal role in expediting and refining the production and dissemination of financial reports, rendering financial statements faster and more precise, while also bolstering the disclosure and transparency of financial information. Furthermore, it has elevated the capacity of accounting decision support by furnishing management with profound business insights and decision-making aid through data analysis and visualization tools.Notwithstanding its merits, digital transformation faces certain implementation challenges in the accounting realm. Technical barriers, data integration, organizational structure, and cultural factors necessitate careful consideration and resolution. Additionally, digital transformation introduces data quality and security risks, compelling enterprises to ensure data accuracy, security, and compliance with pertinent laws and regulations.In order to adapt to the transformative influence of digitalization, accounting personnel must continuously acquire and update skills, cultivating proficiency in data analysis, data science, and digital tools. Concurrently, enterprises must prioritize the establishment of a conducive organizational culture and change management practices to ensure the successful implementation and effective operation of digital transformation. While digital transformation opens up numerous opportunities in the accounting sector, it must surmount challenges to achieve sustainable development and advancement within the field.
