• Abstract: Programming skills are rapidly becoming essential for many educational paths and career opportunities. Yet, for many international students, the traditional approach to teaching introductory programming courses can be a significant challenge due to the complexities of the language, the lack of prior programming knowledge, and the language and cultural barriers. This study explores how large language models and gamification can scaffold coding learning and increase Chinese students sense of belonging in introductory programming courses. In this project, a gamification intelligent tutoring system was developed to adapt to Chinese international students learning needs and provides scaffolding to support their success in introductory computer programming courses.

  We propose CodeGRAG, a Graphical Retrieval Augmented Code Generation framework to enhance the performance of LLMs. CodeGRAG builds the graphical view of code blocks based on the control flow and data flow of them to fill the gap between programming languages and natural language. Various experiments and ablations are done on four datasets including both the C++ and python languages to validate the hard meta-graph prompt, the soft prompting technique, and the effectiveness of the objectives for pretrained GNN expert.

  The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of this idea, such that we can enhance learning programming by activating language learning mechanisms. We observed that the training of the artificial language can be easily integrated into our curriculum. However, within the context of our study, we did not find a significant benefit for programming competency when students learned an artificial language first.

  DIALIGHT is a toolkit for developing and evaluating multilingual Task-Oriented Dialogue (ToD) systems. It features a secure, user-friendly web interface for fine-grained human evaluation at both local utterance level and global dialogue level. Our evaluations reveal that while PLM fine-tuning leads to higher accuracy and coherence, LLM-based systems excel in producing diverse and likeable responses.
