Pre-Recorded Video Lectures Vs. Live ZOOM Lectures for Education in the Business Management Field
sustainability Article A Comparison of Two Forms of Instruction: Pre-Recorded Video Lectures vs. Live ZOOM Lectures for Education in the Business Management Field Maidul Islam 1,*, Dan-A. Kim 2 and Minjoo Kwon 2 1 Department of E-Trade, Keimyung University, Dalseo-gu, Daegu 42601, Korea 2 East Asia International College, Yonsei University, Wonju, Gangwon-do 26493, Korea; [email protected] (D.-A.K.); [email protected] (M.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-580-5967 Received: 17 July 2020; Accepted: 23 September 2020; Published: 2 October 2020 Abstract: This paper employs a comparison between two forms of online instruction to investigate which form is more preferred, as well as the advantages and the disadvantages for both forms of online education. The data for the research were collected via an online questionnaire that was purposely created for the research. A sample of 26 undergraduate students of Yonsei University, South Korea, were employed for this study. Pre-tests and post-tests were performed to compare between pre-recorded video lectures and live ZOOM lectures. The results show that students prefer pre-recorded video lectures to live ZOOM lectures; 53.8% chose pre-recorded video lectures, 7.7% chose live ZOOM lectures, and 30.8% chose both pre-recorded and ZOOM lectures when they were asked to select their preferred method of learning. Furthermore, we asked several questions, and the mean values were compared. The results of this research showed that pre-recorded video lectures are preferred to live ZOOM lectures due to their flexibility, convenience, and educational effectiveness. -

The Stranger’ in International Relations
Review of International Studies (2021), 47:1,19–38 doi:10.1017/S0260210520000376 RESEARCH ARTICLE . States of ambivalence: Recovering the concept of ‘the Stranger’ in International Relations Felix Berenskötter1 and Nicola Nymalm2* 1Department of Politics and International Studies, SOAS University of London, United Kingdom and 2Department of Military Studies, Swedish Defence University, Stockholm, Sweden *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] (Received 23 July 2019; revised 20 August 2020; accepted 24 August 2020; first published online 6 November 2020) https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms Abstract This article revisits and revives the concept of ‘the Stranger’ in theorising international relations by dis- cussing how this figure appears and what role it plays in the politics of (collective) identity. It shows that this concept is central to poststructuralist logic discussing the political production of discourses of danger and to scholarship on ontological security but remains subdued in their analytical narratives. Making the concept of the Stranger explicit is important, we argue, because it directs attention to ambivalence as a source of anxiety and grasps the unsettling experiences that political strategies of conquest or conversion, including practices of securitisation, respond to. Against this backdrop, the article provides a nuanced reading of the Stanger as a form of otherness that captures ambiguity as a threat to modern conceptions of identity, and outlines three scenarios of how it may be encountered in interstate -

Teaching Oral English Online - Through Skype (VOIP)
Acta Didactica Norge Vol.4 Nr. 1 Art. 1 James Coburn Master student, Department of Teacher Education and School Development, University of Oslo Teaching Oral English Online - Through Skype (VOIP) Abstract This article presents an action research study focusing on the online teaching of English conversation using VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) in an unusual and challenging international online context. Information elicited from inter- views with eight Conversation Facilitators shows how conversation assignments need to be designed in order to facilitate interaction patterns conducive to language learning. A range of skills and qualities likely to lead to ''best practice'' emerge from two interviews which are analysed in more detail. Some implications for the use of audio conferencing for the development of oral proficiency in foreign language teaching are also suggested. Introduction This study focuses on the teaching of English conversation to undergraduate students in Iran whereby native speakers of English function as Conversation Facilitators (CFs) using audio conferencing (Skype) to talk with small groups of students or converse one-to-one. Semi-structured interviews with eight CFs aimed to find out more about how the conversations were being conducted as well as investigating the extent to which the task design was providing an adequate basis and stimuli for the dialogues. The article starts with a literature review of studies conducted over the past decade in the field of synchronous audio and audiographic Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). A short description of CMC activity currently under way within foreign language teaching contexts in Norway precedes a summary of the online context for the present study and the specification of the research questions. -
