Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled A Study of Student Perception of Authentic Materials and its Relationship with Language Proficiency submitted by Carolyn Ki Yan Ngai for the degree of Master of Arts (Applied Linguistics) at the University of Hong Kong September, 2003 In view of the recent trend of using authentic materials in language teaching in Hong Kong, this study aims to explore student perception of authentic materials and its relationship with language proficiency in a Hong Kong secondary school, in which the author is working. It examines the perceptions of 32 students towards authentic input in journal writing and interviews. These students are of similar age and educational levels with the same Chinese language backgrounds. To collect data, protocol analysis was used. The protocol analysis revealed some affective and pragmatic beliefs towards authentic materials. This study also examines the relationship between student perception and their language proficiency. The study found that the interesting content and the daily language inherent in authentic input engaged students' interest and they were therefore more actively involved in the learning process. Different responses were identified among learners and it was found that different views towards language learning had an impact on authenticity. Findings from the study could enhance our understanding of authenticity and implications from the study could provide insights into the selection and development of teaching methodologies.

Assessing Student Perception of Social Media for Emergency Notification by a University

A Case Study

Under federal law (the Clery Act), Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) now have a legal responsibility to notify students in a timely manner about campus emergencies. Failure to comply may result in financial penalties from the U.S. Department of Education. Virginia Tech was fined $55,000 for failure to quickly warn their students of the shootings that occurred on its campus in 2007. Though IHEs are now being held responsible, there has been little guidance in identifying effective methods and in implementing timely notification procedures. This case study assesses student perceptions of the use of social media by universities to deliver emergency alerts. Social media have emerged as a real-time communication tool widely popular among college students. To examine the use of social media for emergency notification, a literature review and interviews with professionals in the field were conducted, and a survey instrument was developed. The survey instrument was then used to study student use and perceptions through an email survey distributed to the student population. The response rate was 9% of the student population of 20,472 who received the survey. The results revealed that a vast majority of students are in favor of using social media for emergency notifications by IHEs. There was much support for the current alert system and a Facebook emergency notification page. The results of this study provide IHE emergency management officials with empirical evidence to guide decisions about adopting methods to notify students during emergencies. The implications of this research will help IHEs notify students sooner, thus saving lives, and aid in avoiding financial penalties.

Student Perceptions of Rules for Classroom Interaction

Burgoon's expectancy violation model posits that nonverbal rule violations will be evaluated according to the perceptions toward the violator and the behavior itself. However, the violator may have perceptions regarding the appropriateness of the rule. This study measured the perceptions of high school students regarding the rules for classroom interaction. It is believed that the rules for classroom interaction are rules which have been learned through the process of socialization and enculturation into the classroom setting throughout students' careers. These rules should be well known by all students by the time they reach tenth grade, the grade being investigated. A survey questionnaire was developed through a pilot study, and was distributed to 244 students through the English classes of three East Baton Rouge parish high schools. The high schools were chosen by relative drop out rate. Students were grouped by sex, race and age to measure differences in attitude by characteristics of potential dropouts. The study found that males have more negative attitudes toward compliance with laziness rules and the importance of those laziness rules than females. The study also found that Black students have a more positive attitudes regarding the importance of distraction, laziness, and respectfulness rules than non-Black students. Implications regarding the attitudes toward classroom rules are discussed.

Student Perceptions in the Classroom

This book's two primary objectives are to present theory and research on the role of learners' achievement-related perceptions in educational contexts and to discuss the implications of this research for educational practices. Although contributors share the view that students' perceptions exert important effects in achievement settings, they differ in diverse ways including their theoretical orientation, their choice of research methodology, the perceptions they believe are of primary importance, and the antecedents and consequences of these perceptions. They discuss the current status of their ideas and provide a forward look at research and practice.
