Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Instructional languages design is an important step in a second language teaching process. Teaching English, as a second language, in a non-native English speaking country is quite different from that in native English speaking countries. Since teaching language is the main carrier of information and tool of communication, what’s the proportion of using English in choosing classroom instructional language? Is there a different effect on learners if teachers use English out of proportion? For most learners in China, Chinese is their mother language, how much Chinese should be used in teaching and how about the evaluation on learners…so many questions. Going through two-year-experiment on the proportion of English and Chinese, we arrive at the conclusion: seventy percent of English input in classroom instructional language design is the best, which in somewhat comply with Krashen’s Input Hypothesis, the result we got is that the better the learners’ level, the higher of the proportion is better. The method we used includes questionnaire and interview, with the data collected and analyzed by SPSS17.0.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
