FIRST CALL FOR ENGLISH VI STUDENTS AT UAL EXTENSION COURSE:

In order to keep in touch with lessons topics , I personally recommend English VI students to set to work on an e-journal. First of all, you may be asking what is such a genre? Don't get flurried! An e-journal is a kind of electronic record of what one has done. On this very sense, we embark on the point that you shall make groups for specific subjects. Those subjects should be selected as we get to the a unit end. Then, dividing into topics, groups research about that topic they have chosen. Next, they share their work in the classroom. Later, it is utterly editted it in here. Groups can also direct the chosen topics through language curiosities concerning usage and register:formal, informal, colloquial, familiar and slangs.

For more info, talk to me next class.

Software learns to translate by reading up

· 18:26 22 February 2005 by Will Knight Translation software that develops an understanding of languages by scanning through thousands of previously translated documents has been released by US researchers. Most existing translation software uses hand-coded rules for transposing words and phrases. But the new software, developed by Kevin Knight and Daniel Marcu at the Information Sciences Institute, part of the University of Southern California, US, takes a statistical approach, building probabilistic rules about words, phrases and syntactic structures. The pair founded a company called Language Weaver in Los Angeles, US, to sell the software as an automated translation tool. They already offer technology that can translate to or from English with four languages - Arabic, Chinese, French and Spanish. The key to their "statistical machine translation software" are the translation dictionaries, patterns and rules - translation parameters - th...
