Title: Learning Analytics and Media English: Automating Oral Proficiency Rubric Input
Summary: The current presentation examines the development of database to track and analyze second language acquisition (SLA).The concept initially drew on Pienemann’s Processability Theory, but has evolved into a way to present corrective feedback (CF) in real time. The current direction is focused on visually presenting feedback (as a bar graph) on student output. The user interface and content of the database are still in a prototype form, on a iPad, using rubrics from my home institution. However, the end goal is to collect data on student production during task-based language teaching (TBLT) and other authentic lesson structures, using a variety of media including periodicals and video presentations.The use of such media creates the opportunity to provide incidental learning (e.g. incidental focus on forms, metalinguistic feedback, and class grade information). This will be done within each class, in real-time, as well as posted on a learner management system. Schmidt’s construct of ‘noticing’is one of the theoretical underpinnings of this line of research. We hypothesize that the ability to provide learner specific feedback, within large groups, will better promote noticing. The presentation will examine the development of the database, recent research results and lessons learned, which will be applied to future iterations of the design.

Overview of René Girard’s Mimetic Theory, with a Consideration of the Implications for Media
Matthew Taylor (Kinjo Gakuin University)
This presentation will overview René Girard’s Mimetic Theory. At the root of Girard’s thought is the concept of “mimesis” (roughly, imitation) or “mimetic desire.” Girard takes a radically interpersonal view of human psychology and behavior. His influential but controversial theory focuses strongly on the problematic nature of human relations, on interpersonal conflict, and on violence. Another term Girard uses for ” mimesis” is “mediation.” The role of the “model” or “mediator” in Girard ‘s thought may be of special interest for media studies. Girard’s work concerns “media” at its most fundamental level (his “mimetic triangle”), but also takes into account the “media frenzy” that characterize the current age. Girard would relate this to what he calls “internal mediation” and see it as part of a process that has been accelerating especially since the Renaissance.
