      Despite the salience of monitoring in self-regulated learning (SRL) and foreign and/or second language (L2) speech production in non-testing conditions, little is known about the metacognitive construct in testing contexts and its effects on learner performance. Given the reciprocal effects between L2 testing and L2 learning, a research effort in monitoring working in speaking tests, in particular computer-delivered integrated speaking tests, a testing format that has been advocated as an internal part of L2 classroom instruction and represents the future direction of L2 testing, is warranted. This study, therefore, serves as such an effort through investigating the use of monitoring by 95 Chinese English as foreign language (EFL) learners on a self-reported questionnaire after they performed three computer-delivered integrated speaking test tasks. Descriptive analysis followed by Hierarchical Linear Modelling (HLM) testing reveals that monitoring was used in a high-frequency manner, but it exerted no substantial effects on learner performance. Primarily, the results are expected to provide pedagogical implications for SRL: while fostering self-regulating learners, especially self-monitoring L2 speakers, it is necessary for L2 teachers to purposefully reduplicate testing conditions in their classroom instructions for helping the self-regulating learners be equally self-regulating test-takers. Moreover, the results are hoped to offer some insights into L2 testing through the perspective of self-monitoring, one proposed component of strategic competence, a construct that has been extensively acknowledged to reflect the essence of L2 testing.

      ...e Hunt Library is unlike any most people have ever entered. What do you do /f_irst when you walk into a library and aren’t surrounded by rows of shelving—a library where robots deliver the books? Or where ADVENTUR OUS COLLABORATI ON HONORED WITH 2012 FACULTY AW ARDnew, advanced, and sometimes unfamiliar technology is around every corner? In the 2012 spring semester, Professors Buie and Y oung combined their advanced design and computer engineering capstone courses to present their best and brightest with the real-world challenge of shaping how the library would be experienced once it opened. One group of students concentrated on working with a digital palette the size of which they could only have dreamed about in the past. Using a prototype of the 21-foot-wide video wall that is the centerpiece of the Game Lab, they developed a video game built for a screen so large and infused with color that it is at the frontier of today’s digital displays.Other groups from the collaborative class—the “experience designers”— developed detailed plans for how to arrange the technology, the signage, and the furniture to turn some of the library’s most unique areas into intuitively usable spaces. /T_he Hunt Library was conceived to encourage students to dream big. A full year before the new library opened, the 2012 Faculty Award winners gave their students access to experiences they wouldn’t have had on any other campus on the globe. And the students noticed: one ended the course saying the cross-disciplinary opportunity was “the greatest experience that I’ve had so far in college. ” /T_hat’s the promise of the Hunt Library. Professor Tim Buie and Dr. Michael YoungI. T. Littleton and Steven J. BellSusan K. Nutter and Dr. Mike Eisenberg 4|FOCUS - NCSU LibrariesLIBRARIE S NEW S ADVENTUR OUS COLLABORATI ON HONORED WITH 2012 FACULTY LTY LAWARDAWARDAWFACULTY AW ARD HONORROLL /T_he NCSU Libraries is proud to recognize the distinguished recent winners of our Annual Faculty Award. DOUGLAS S. REEVES, 2011 Professor of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering When the Hunt Library opened, much of the praise it received centered on how well it met the actual needs of twenty-/f_irst century students and researchers. /T_his success was in no small part due to the advice and support that Professor Douglas Reeves gave when the Libraries needed community input. A long-time member of the University Library Committee (ULC)—and its chair for three years during Hunt Library planning—his “leadership style, ” as one observer wrote, “insured that all members, in particular, the student representatives, felt free to contribute to the discussions. ” /T_his wise inclusivity paid off in other key ways. It was Reeves’ idea to add a Centennial Campus representative to the ULC, engaging that important community early; and he leveraged a mutual love of books and libraries to bring in a Cisco executive to head the Hunt Library Technology Advisory Board. Most of all, Professor Reeves consistently provided a strong faculty voice for what a great library could be in the Internet age, a strength captured in a letter of nomination from another faculty member: “Doug understands the changing nature of libraries in the digital environment and the challenges they face in order to be vital drivers of research, learning, and collaboration . . . . He has lent his ideas and support to everything from digital technologies to increase use and discovery of library content, to enhancing spaces provided to students, to aggressively expanding online-only journal content. ” DAVID ZONDERMAN, 2010 Professor of History /T_he Libraries’ Special Collections Research Center is documenting the birth of the North Carolina Research Center in Kannapolis, where the UNC system and patron David Murdock from Dole Foods are collaborating to build a thriving bio- technical center in a small town blighted by the loss of textile manufacturing. /T_he Libraries and the Center organized a series of public lectures, some in Raleigh, some in Kannapolis, to build excitement around the project. As an expert on labor and its history and one who takes seriously the land-grant promise that universities should change the world, Professor David Zonderman anchored several of these programs. /T_hat passion to engage real-world problems has also marked the considerable work Professor Zonderman has done in the past with the Libraries. He has served on the University Library Committee for a dozen years and on the committee that set the direction for the Learning Commons in the D. H. Hill Library. When we set out in the 1990s to become one of the /f_irst academic libraries in the nation to tackle the o/f_ten-vexing changes in scholarly communications, Professor Zonderman chaired the committee to establish our Scholarly Communication Center and hire our /f_irst Scholarly Communication librarian, becoming, as one of his recommenders put it, “a pioneer in the access to new electronic resources for the humanities disciplines” at NC State. JAMES WILSON, 2009 Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering If a library database goes down or an online journal temporarily blinks out during a network outage, the chances are that the /f_irst person to report it is going to be Professor Jim Wilson. /T_hat’s because he’s a world-class library user, someone the Libraries always listens to because he is deeply involved in using our services and evangelizing them to his students and peers. Several times when staff has reached dead ends over issues with one of our vendors, Professor Wilson has, for instance, just picked up the phone, called an editor or publisher, and the problem has gone away. He is, as one nominator put it, “the kind of active library user that helps keep a modern digital collection responsive to its community. ” When the history of technology in the past several decades is told, the cra/f_t of computer simulation will dominate it. Simulation technologies have transformed everything from computer engineering to biotechnology, transportation, and the role-playing and video game industry. /T_he scholars who tell that story will stop /f_irst at the NCSU Libraries Special Collections Research Center, where they will /f_ind— thanks largely to Professor Wilson’s vision and hard work—the /f_inest simulation collection in the world. 5 NCSU Libraries - FOCUS |LIBRARIE S NEW S Susan K.

Saul Flores | Photographs The Walk of the Immigrants January 2012–August 2012 Last winter, the D. H. Hill Library Exhibit Gallery came to life with vibrant color and compelling stories told through the portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes photographed by Saul Flores, ’12, during an epic 5,000-mile journey, mostly by foot, through Central and South America in 2010. On this journey—inspired by an earlier service trip with the Caldwell Fellows leadership development program—Flores took over 20,000 photos to “raise awareness of the beauty of these Latin American countries as well as the struggles that their people face.” Proceeds from the sale of his photographs and sponsorships of his journey are aiding an elementary school in his mother’s hometown, the small rural community of Atencingo, Mexico. A virtual version of the exhibit is now playing in the iPearl Immersion Theater, where its striking colors capitalize on the ability of the Hunt Library’s display walls to showcase exemplary student work in a large, radiant format. NC State University, 125 Years of Shaping the Future September 2012–August 2013 Celebrating the university’s one hundred twenty- fifth anniversary, 125 Years of Shaping the Future explores our history from the tenacity of the Watauga Club members who fought for the establishment of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1887 to current research and creative thinking in fields as diverse as Universal Design and Molecular Paleontology. Through August 2013, visitors can see the artifacts, papers, photographs, and ephemera that are usually stored safely away from light in our vaults and reflect on a legacy of improving our citizens’ lives with a reach that has grown from spanning the one hundred counties of North Carolina to engaging the world.

And that family is, as Turling- ton explains, “completely red and white.” Her husband of almost 40 years, Jimmy, is a 1968 NC State graduate in civil engineering. Her son Ryan obtained his B.S. from the College of Textiles in 2001. Daughter Courtney earned her B.A. from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences in 2007.

First, Glass has relatively limited computing power and requires developers to work with Google’s programming languages. Within the week, though, the two had the Glass exchanging data with external servers, supplying all the horsepower anyone could want and allowing fellow students to start programing with whatever language they thought would work best. This extra power and flexibility opened the door to a core research interest for the lab, using Glass to improve accessibility for the visually impaired. The technology can and will be transformative for people with limited vision, explained Bahram, who is blind himself.

LIBRARIES FACING BUDGET CUTS As part of the budget reductions levied on the university by the North Carolina General Assembly, the Libraries is absorbing a cut of more than $1.3 million for the fiscal year 2013/14, about 5% of our total budget. To meet these budget cuts, we have had to eliminate 27 positions and are currently canceling subscriptions to 642 journal titles. In addition, hours have been cut in the branch libraries, and the D. H. Hill Library and the Hunt Library are planning to substantially reduce the number of days per week when they are open 24 hours to meet the study and research schedules of students and faculty. Unfortunately, it is also possible that the university and the Libraries will face further cuts in the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2014.6| FOCUS - NCSU LibrariesNCSU LIBRARIES ACQUIRES 80 YEARS OF ANIMAL RIGHTS AND ANIMAL WELFARE PAMPHLETS To expand its collection strengths in Animal Rights and Welfare, the Libraries Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) has acquired an important collection of nearly 400 rare pamphlets and other works relating to animal advocacy, animal rights, and animal welfare. These materials enhance the Libraries’ collecting efforts in an interdisciplinary field that engages scholars across the humanities, human and veterinary medicine, and the sciences. Of significant scholarly and historical importance, the collection spans a period of over eighty years from the 1870s to the 1950s, and includes a wealth of promotional, advocacy, and educational materials that shed light on the moral, social, medical and political dimensions of this complex movement. The new collection is already being put to use in NC State classrooms. A selection of the pamphlets was used to introduce students to primary source materials in a Biology class on Human-Animal Interaction. SCRC staff is now working with faculty to develop a class assignment using the historical pamphlets and contrasting them with contemporary animal rights and welfare records from the collections for the upcoming Fall 2014 semester. The acquisition of these pamphlets builds on the NCSU Libraries’ leadership in this NEW LIBRARIES MOBILE TOURS APP The new NCSU Libraries Mobile Tours App allows you to explore the inspiring and sophisticated learning spaces and cutting-edge design of the James B.

Dr. Tom Regan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at NC State, notes that “before the recent acquisition, the library’s holdings were the most comprehensive in the world. With the addition of these new materials, especially the ones from the nineteenth century, the library has strengthened its claim to preeminence. ” The depth and breadth of the NCSU Libraries’ collections now provide a rich trove of primary resources to support research in animal advocacy, rights, and welfare from the 1870s to the present.

      ...players in this burgeoning research environment, Corrall advised that libraries should employ an admittedly bold “overextension” strategy and attempt to reach beyond their current capabilities. She feels that success can be achieved with this strategy if libraries mobilize their invisible assets, and swiftly acquire the required competencies by simply providing high-end research support. Corrall would like to see libraries overcome their aversion to launching services that are not completely polished and perfect. To be bold in adopting new services for and collaborations with researchers. Seeing how they work and adapting accordingly. In the dynamic arena of high-end research, libraries need to focus on being nimble, adaptable, and bold. That being said, Corrall still amusingly advised, “Don’t get reckless”. Supporter of high-end research, or collaborator? The modern library must carefully consider how to present itself to its research community. Corrall firmly asserted that there is a very clear choice. “Faculty don’t want supporters. They want people to help them I. T. Littleton and speaker Sheila Corrall with seminar committee members Tessa Minchew, Will Cross, Adam Rogers, and Bret Davidson. 4| FOCUS - NCSU Libraries LIBRARIES NEWS5 NCSU Libraries - FOCUS |As part of the 2013/14 budget reductions levied on the university by the North Carolina General Assembly, the Libraries’ budget was cut by more than $1.3 million, about 5% of our total budget. To meet these reductions, we had to eliminate 27 staff positions and reduce library hours. As inflation continues to erode our buying power, this year the Libraries was also forced to make drastic cuts to the collections budget, resulting in the cancellation of more than 600 journal subscriptions. The following is the list of journal titles that are no longer available to our faculty and students as of January 1, 2015. Read more about the cancellations and the process for choosing these titles at www.lib. ncsu.edu/collections/ cancellations/.
