Evaluation of college students’ English performance considering Roche multiway tree clustering

In this study, the questionnaire survey, diversified classroom teaching, and multivariate evaluation are carried out on college students of non-English majors based on the Roche multiway tree clustering method. The SPSS statistical software is used for statistical analysis. The results show that Roche multiway tree cluster distribution of non-English major college students is at a medium level. There is no significant correlation between the comprehensive English performance and the overall Roche multiway tree clustering, and there is a low positive correlation between Roche multiway tree clustering and English listening. Studies have suggested that in comprehensive English classroom teaching, teachers should pay attention to the weak intelligence of students, teach students according to their intelligence difference, build a diversified classroom teaching evaluation model, and promote the all-round development of student intelligence.

The “Laurer” and the “Columbyn”: The Images of Frustrated Love in Chaucer's Merchant's Tale

«Rys up, my wyf, my love, my lady free» (1.2138) -however it has been the literary scholars who have followed old January with much greater alacrity than his «fresshe May» into the literary and rhetorical world of the wedding chamber and the garden that Chaucer lets the Merchant create for the married couple. The scholars, in turn, especially those interested in sources, metaphor, analogy, and allusion have been richly rewarded by the study of The Merchant's Tale, this «dense mosaic of references, allusions, quotations», as G. G. Sedgewick has described it. Unifying the richly structured composition of this «mosaic» is the theme of frustrated love, a concern to which many of these «ref- erences, allusions, quotations» point. One of the earlier critical concerns was to track down the analogues. It proved to be a fertile field; by now it has become a critical commonplace that one of the central motifs of Chaucer's tale—the blind man and the adulterous youth the pear-tree-cluster—is of Mid Eastern origin and can be found among the tales of the Disciplina Clericalis. This anthology of Eastern folklore—com- prising East Indian, Byzantine, Persian, Arabian, and Hebrew materials—was compiled in Latin back in the twelfth century by Petrus Alfunsus. Alfunsus, originally a Jewish scholar born in Spain, converted to Christianity, and eventu- ally emigrated to England where he became royal physician to King Henry I. He wrote the Disciplina while he resided in England. Alfonsi's collection of thirty- four tales is important as a bridge by which what is commonly called the literaty «matter of Araby» in both form and content became a tradition that supplied vernacular medieaval Europen writers.
