  • Wechat-Mediated Simulation and the Learning of Business Chinese
    Wang, X and Wu, X 2020 WeChat-Mediated Simulation and the Learning of Business Chinese. Modern Languages Open, 2020(1): 42 pp. 1–13. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.300 ARTICLE – DIGITAL MODERN LANGUAGES WeChat-Mediated Simulation and the Learning of Business Chinese Xuan Wang1 and Xiaoli Wu2 1 Cardiff University, GB 2 KU Leuven, BE Corresponding author: Xiaoli Wu ([email protected]) The purpose of this tutorial is to demonstrate social media engagement in higher- level language classrooms, using WeChat (a China-based free application with functions similar to WhatsApp or Messenger) as the digital medium. Originally designed for users in the Chinese market, WeChat is also available in English and increasingly used beyond China for both social and business communication, there- fore its use as demonstrated in this tutorial may also be applicable to the learning of other languages, or to inspire the use of similar digital tools in language learn- ing and teaching. This tutorial illustrates specifically how WeChat can facilitate the learning of language and culture for business in a Chinese context. It explores several modes of communication offered by WeChat, including one-to-one or group instant text messaging, voice messaging, voice or video call, document sharing, and online publication. These various functions are utilised in different stages of a business simulation game, and set up as pre-planned learning tasks. The tasks consist of specific, progressive activities and goals, such as drafting and pitch- ing a business plan, business consultation, market research and digital marketing. Accordingly, specific learning processes are generated: enabling the simulation of digital business communication (focusing on China in this case) through gamifica- tion; in doing so, it extends learning in the conventional classroom (‘here’ offline in Europe) and blends it with that in real-life interactions and business practices (‘there’ online in China).

  • Skype Basics
    Skype Basics: Instant Messaging can be used as a supplemental communication method to traditional emails and phone calls. Instant Messaging (or IM) is most useful for quick communications, either for a question that has a straightforward answer, or for a conversation that may not require a great deal of details. Winnefox receives Skype for Business as part of our Office365 subscription, and Winnefox staff have begun using it for IM messages; while Skype is more known for video calling, it can also send text-only messages, and has the benefit of being able to integrate with Outlook contacts, so that two separate user names do not need to be maintained. To set up Skype, log in to Office365 in a browser, using the URL https://portal.office.com; it will ask for the email address and password you use to log into Windows (if you do not use an email address to log into Windows, contact Pete Hodge). In the upper-left corner, click the “Office 365” link next to the grid, to bring you to the main landing page for Office365: On this page, go to the upper right side, to the “Install Office 365” link; beneath that, click on “Other Installs”. This brings up a page with all options for Office, including Skype for Business, on the left-hand side of the page. From the Skype for Business page, choose either “Skype for Business Basic (for Office 2016)” or “Skype for Business 2015”, depending on which is the same version as the other Office products installed on your computer.

    AN EXAMINATION OF WECHAT: PREDICTORS OF NEWS USE ON A CLOSED MESSAGING PLATFORM By Zhao Peng A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Journalism—Master of Arts 2017 ABSTRACT AN EXAMINATION OF WECHAT: PREDICTORS OF NEWS USE ON A CLOSED MESSAGING PLATFORM By Zhao Peng News use on social media channels enables users to actively select and read news based on their interest and needs. The present research studied news use behaviors on the closed-messag- ing platform WeChat. Concepts from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage Model and Task-Tech Theory were used to test what perceptional and technological factors influence users’ WeChat news behaviors. Results showed that the perceived fitness between task and technology, effort expectancy, facilitating and social influence significantly related to Chinese students’ WeChat news use while performance expectancy did not predict news use behavior. Copyright by ZHAO PENG 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my appreciation to my entire thesis committee for the inspiring guidance, mentoring, and support throughout the completion of my thesis. Because of each of you, I can reach further than I ever expected. Professor Carpenter, I would like to particularly thank you for having been a wonderful mentor to me.

  • The Use of Wechat Application on CFL Learners' Vocabulary Acquisition
    TESOL International Journal 26 The Use of WeChat Application on CFL Learners’ Vocabulary Acquisition Pamintuan, Cavin F. Mallari, Donnabelle G. Garcia, Nicole T. Galang, Jeniezen P. Buduan, Reggie Mark B. Angeles University Foundation Abstract This quasi-experimental research explored Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) learners’ use of a popular social networking application in China, WeChat, in acquiring vocabulary. The research questions answered in this study are: (1) How may the CFL learners’ vocabulary performance be described in terms of: (a) pretest scores and (b) posttest scores; (2) Is there a significant difference between the performance in pretest and posttest of the control group and experimental group?; (3) What are the implications of the results of this study in teaching? Participants joined the ten-day treatment wherein they used the three features of WeChat: WeChat Messaging, Official Accounts, and Mini Programs. The participants’ performance before and after the treatment were identified using pretest and posttest. In addition, observation checklists were utilized to determine the change in behavior in acquiring vocabulary of the CFL learners. Results suggested that WeChat could improve students’ vocabulary acquisition in foreign language. Suggestions for improvements in future WeChat treatment were also discussed. Introduction One of the skills that a 21st century learner should master to be successful in school and in life is digital literacy (Jenkins, Purushotma, Weigel, Clinton, & Robison, 2009). As defined by Visser (2012), digital literacy is the ability to use, evaluate, create devices and share digital contents. In the age of computers and electronics, access of technological devices has been increasing; and according to Hsu (2013), the use of these technological devices in teaching, specifically in language teaching, provides new learning experience to the learners; it makes teaching and learning more contextualized and effective.

  • NSMS: Social Media Pilot Summary
    NSMS: Social Media Pilot Summary PROJECT DESCRIPTION Social networking platforms are many – they include Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, WeChat, Telegram, and others. In August 2017, the NSMS Settlement Program started pilot projects with WeChat and Telegram to assess the ability to reach Chinese, Persian, and young adult immigrants. The objectives were to identify general set up needs, parameters for use, and how to best maintain these social media outlets. SET UP CONSIDERATIONS Hardware/software: Both WeChat and Telegram required the use of a smartphone to set up initial NSMS account. WeChat can generally be used on either a smartphone or iPad; we used an iPad. Telegram was accessed on a desktop computer or smartphone, but can also be used on an iPad. Definitions: WeChat group chat – can be public or private; it does allow for commenting and posting from any member within the group. Any of the group members can add others, but only the group creator/administrator can remove members. Telegram group – can be public or private; these also allow for communication among members by comments/posts. Groups are ideal for sharing within a discrete set of people; administrators can be set up to restrict the addition of members. Telegram channel – these are generally public. A channel simply broadcasts a public message and does not allow for comments/posts. Public channels allow anyone in Telegram to search and join, while private channels are closed and members must be added by the creator or given a link to join. Staff: Chinese Settlement Worker recruited and managed a WeChat group chat Persian Settlement Worker recruited and managed both a Telegram group for the Senior Sparks program and Telegram channel for Farsi speakers Get Connected Program Coordinator recruited and managed a Telegram channel for young adult immigrants Communications Coordinator provided flyers for posting to social media and tracked progress of the pilot SUCCESSES PROBLEMS WeChat WeChat Identifying a few power members can Initial recruitment was slow from rapidly increase recruitment.
