Abstract

Reading is one of the key methods to learn English, especially for the EFL (English as Foreign Language) students. For the purpose of assisting students in learning the English terminology of a professional (technical) course, this study aims at finding reading sequences among pre-collected articles and determining one ending article for each reading sequence. The topics or contents described in the articles are all highly related to the specific professional course. The determination of the ending article depends on the relations among the articles. The relation is defined by professional terminology overlap between articles. Floyd-Warshall algorithm and clustering concepts are utilized in the recommendation of the ending article and reading sequences. Brief simulation results of the algorithm are also illustrated in the paper.
