【专家评语】
It has been very heartening to hear that Tan and his colleagues’ online course on quantitative methods has been well-received by college teachers and postgraduate students in China. To further support the learning of quantitative methods, Tan has launched another new online course – this time relating to using software packages in the field of applied linguistics. In this new venture, Tan has invited a scholar from Pennsylvania State University, Dr Xiaofei Lu, to join in the development of the course.
The course introduces the principles and practice of computer-assisted data analysis, covering both established and newly-developed software packages. The software packages covered include Range, Sketch Engine, L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer, English Text Complexity Assessor and Coh-Metrix.
In teaching the course, Tan and Xiaofei guide participants through three well-structured phases, outlining how the software packages may be used for different purposes and in different contexts.
Phase 1 establishes key concepts and specifies the background knowledge and theory underpinning each software package.
Phase 2 demonstrates a step-by-step operation process for each software package.
Phase 3 recommends potential research topics for future explorations.
Given the success and take-up of Tan's first venture into online programme delivery, I am sure that this new online venture will benefit teachers and postgraduate students even more – this time about using software packages.
