Why computer science students need language
ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 2003Many students enter the field of computer science with misconceptions about the importance of communication skills. They often choose this field, thinking they will end up with jobs working alone or with other "techies" developing computer games, and not having to deal with people.

Computer science as a foreign language substitute
Proceedings of the third SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education - SIGCSE '73, 1973The world of today has a diversified opinion concerning the worth and value of the computer. For some it is a monster to be feared, while for others it is a friend to be respected. Two statements will probably best demonstrate these different points of view.

Questions on Spoken Language and Terminology for Teaching Computer Science
Proceedings of the 2015 ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education, 2015Spoken and written language are key factors for communication, especially for teaching and learning in general and for all subjects. In K-12 schools, 'being fluent with information technology', 'CS fluency and competency', 'computer literacy' and 'computational literacy' are terms for learning objectives of ICT, computer science courses that refer to ...

An evaluation of BASIC computer language as a prerequisite to university computer science
2010This study was undertaken to determine how prior knowledge of BASIC computer language affects the achievement in introductory computer science courses at university. It looked at comparisons of achievement in introductory computer science courses at the University of British Columbia (U.B.C.) among groups who have learned BASIC, or who have learned ...

Latin as a Suitable Computer Language for Science
2019In this lecture Busa described the shape of the Index Thomisticus as it was foreseen in 1963/4. At that time, it was intended to comprise four parts: the first part dealing with texts of Aquinas; the second with his commentaries; the third with Forcellini’s Lexicon totius Latinitatis and the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae; and the fourth with “selected ...

Language, Mind, and Computation in the Metaphors of Cognitive Science
2023Is the meaning of the text accessible to machine learning algorithms? With the success of computer science, such questions are turning from philosophical into scientific and theoretical. Mind, behavior, and the machine have been conceptualized differently at different times and in different research programs.
