LSCB-ALS: A New ALS and Its Application in Java Language Learning

Java language course is a professional course of computer science. Usually, the teacher encounters how to give learners insights into the language grammatical structure and how to find a proper way to help learners grasp a new kind of skill. To address this problem, learners' learning styles and competences should be focused on. In this paper, we propose a new Java language teaching scheme based on the learners' learning styles and competences. Furthermore, we develop a new learner model which is the core of the proposed adaptive learning system. The system was developed for Java language teaching and we implemented an experiment to identify its effectiveness. The experimental result shows that learners' ability of solving practical application problems and the enthusiasm of learning Java language have been significantly improved. Teachers can also be accurate and objective in the evaluation of learners' learning.
