Google Dictionary: a Critical Review
3 Issues and Trends in Learning Technologies Volume 8, Number 1, May 2020 Google Dictionary: A Critical Review Musa Nushi Afshin Moradi Shahid Beheshti University Shahid Beheshti University Abstract In an increasingly digital world, online educational resources, apps, and other technologies can serve as incredibly effective tools to facilitate both teaching and learning. One such online tool is the Google Dictionary. This dictionary, an online service of Google, is probably one of the simplest dictionaries for English learners. The definitions usually use simple words and therefore are easy to understand. In addition to the definitions, examples, pictures, and usage notes, there is a separate pronunciation entry with interesting characteristics. This newly added entry provides users with the pronunciation of a word in two different accents, visemes, slow playback, and an option that lets Google collect feedback about the accuracy and helpfulness of the pronunciation recordings from users. This review paper offers a descriptive account of the entry, along with critical evaluation including its strong points and limitations. The review concludes with some suggestions to improve the educational quality of the pronunciation entry.. Keywords: Google Dictionary, pronunciation, second language, technology Website Details Publisher: Google Product Type: Web-based service Language(s): Multilingual Level: Any Media Format: WebP and WebM Operating Systems: Any Hardware Requirements: Internet Connection Supplementary Software: None Introduction The Internet has revolutionized the way we go about living our lives. There is hardly an area, at least in the Western world, that has not been touched by the Internet revolution (Esterle, Ranck & Schmitt, 2005; Selwyn, 2014). The affordances provided by the Internet are enormous, ranging from checking whether one’s plant needs water to booking a hotel in a resort island off the coast of Montenegro, in the Adriatic Sea.

Measuring Personalization of Web Search
1 Measuring Personalization of Web Search ANIKÓ HANNÁK, Northeastern University PIOTR SAPIEŻYŃSKI, Technical University of Denmark ARASH MOLAVI KAKHKI, Northeastern University DAVID LAZER, ALAN MISLOVE, and CHRISTO WILSON, Northeastern University Web search is an integral part of our daily lives. Recently, there has been a trend of personalization in Web search, where dierent users receive dierent results for the same search query. The increasing level of personalization is leading to concerns about Filter Bubble eects, where certain users are simply unable to access information that the search engines’ algorithm decides is irrelevant. Despite these concerns, there has been little quantication of the extent of personalization in Web search today, or the user attributes that cause it. In light of this situation, we make three contributions. First, we develop a methodology for measuring personalization in Web search results. While conceptually simple, there are numerous details that our methodology must handle in order to accurately attribute dierences in search results to personalization. Second, we apply our methodology to 200 users on Google Web Search and 100 users on Bing. We nd that, on average, 11.7% of results show dierences due to personalization on Google, while 15.8% of results are personalized on Bing, but that this varies widely by search query and by result ranking. Third, we investigate the user features used to personalize on Google Web Search and Bing. Surprisingly, we only nd measurable personalization as a result of searching with a logged in account and the IP address of the searching user. Our results are a rst step towards understanding the extent and eects of personalization on Web search engines today.

An Invitation to CALL
LINGUISTICS DEPARTMENT - STANFORD UNIVERSITY An Invitation to CALL Foundations of Computer-Assisted Language Learning Home | Unit 1 | Unit 2 | Unit 3| Unit 4| Unit 5| Unit 6 | Unit 7 | Unit 8 | Supplement Click here for PDF An Invitation to CALL Unit 5: Environments, Tools, Materials, and Activities OVERVIEW This unit looks at four dimensions of CALL: the environments in which it is used, the digital tools, the materials available (especially on the Web), and the types of activities. Many of the points here have already been touched on in previous units but we revisit them and explore them in greater depth here. This unit is primarily about exploring, so follow up on links that look interesting. ENVIRONMENTS Goal 2, Standard 1 of the TESOL Technologies Standards for Teachers states "Language teachers identify and evaluate technological resources and environments for suitability to their teaching context." Similarly, Goal 1, Standard 2 refers to teachers' knowledge of "a wide range" of technology options and especially their ability to use those options "in a given setting." Indeed, environments determine to a large degree what a teacher or learner can and can't do with technology. This section will discuss different environments for users (both teachers and learners) and how those environments impact the nature of interaction and learning. • Classrooms. The technology available in classrooms is currently in a state of transition across institutions and in many cases within institutions as well. At Stanford where I teach, I might have one course in a room with an electronic white board and another in a room with only a chalk board.

Googling for Meaning: Statutory Interpretation in the Digital Age Alice A
THE YALE LAW JOURNAL FORUM F EBRUARY 15, 2016 Googling for Meaning: Statutory Interpretation in the Digital Age Alice A. Wang introduction Dictionary use has become a common practice in modern statutory interpretation at the Supreme Court.1 With the rise of the “new textualism,”2 Justices increasingly rely on dictionaries to shed light on the plain meaning of statutes—that is, the understanding that an ordinary English speaker would draw from the text.3 This trend is not limited to textualists: Justices who favor purposivist analyses of legislative intent cite dictionaries just as often.4 Scholars and practitioners have criticized this development in two main ways.5 The first critique questions the soundness of the interpretive 1. See, e.g., James J. Brudney & Lawrence Baum, Oasis or Mirage: The Supreme Court’s Thirst for Dictionaries in the Rehnquist and Roberts Eras, 55 WM. & MARY L. REV. 483 (2013); John Calhoun, Note, Measuring the Fortress: Explaining Trends in Supreme Court and Circuit Court Dictionary Use, 124 YALE L.J. 484 (2014); Jeffrey L. Kirchmeier & Samuel A. Thumma, Scaling the Lexicon Fortress: The United States Supreme Court’s Use of Dictionaries in the Twenty-First Century, 94 MARQ. L. REV. 77 (2010). 2. The new textualism, most closely associated with Justice Scalia, focuses statutory interpretation on the text of the statute in question and the larger body of surrounding law. Rickie Sonpal, Old Dictionaries and New Textualists, 71 FORDHAM L. REV. 2177, 2192 (2003). 3. Plain meaning can diverge from ordinary meaning when a statute includes a specific definition for a term or when a statute uses a term that has a specialized meaning within a particular field.
