Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) learners face unique learning challenges, often due to a lack of customized educational materials that address their specific needs. This study explores the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate personalized quiz questions to enhance the video-based learning experiences of DHH students. We iteratively designed, developed, and evaluated a prototype that combines LLMs to generate questions with the characteristics of the DHH learners in focus. The two unique question generation strategies include Visual Questions, which identify video segments where visual information might be misinterpreted, and Emotion Questions, which highlight moments where...

Resumen:

This study responds to the growing emphasis on applying the cognitive linguistic approach to second language (L2) teaching by investigating the effects of metaphor awareness-raising instruction on the acquisition of requests in the underexplored domain of L2 pragmatics.

Both groups engaged in three weekly 35-minute teaching sessions. Computer-animated production tasks were utilized to elicit learners’ request productions in the pretest, immediate, and delayed posttests. Results indicated significant improvement in both groups postintervention, with the experimental group demonstrating...
