TL;DR: An instructional design model appropriate for humanistic multimedia Computer-Enhanced Language Learning (CELL) in a self-access environment for second language learning through listening and viewing comprehension is proposed.
Abstract: This paper proposes an instructional design model appropriate for humanistic multimedia Computer-Enhanced Language Learning (CELL) in a self-access environment for second language learning through listening and viewing comprehension. The model is grounded in sociocultural theory, and set against a background of research into the complexities of listening and viewing, individual learner differences and learning styles, characteristics of self-directed and autonomous learning, and user-friendly instructional software design.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The prior knowledge about the rhetorical structure of scientific abstracts is useful for various text-mining tasks such as information extraction, information retrieval, and automatic summarization. This paper presents a novel approach to categorize sentences in scientific abstracts into four sections, objective, methods, results, and conclusions. METHOD: Formalizing the categorization task as a sequential labeling problem, we employ Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) to annotate section labels into abstract sentences. The training corpus is acquired automatically from Medline abstracts. RESULTS: The proposed method outperformed the previous approaches, achieving 95.5% per-sentence accuracy and 68.8% per-abstract accuracy. CONCLUSION: The experimental results showed that CRFs could model the rhetorical structure of abstracts more suitably.
