The L2 motivational self-system (L2MSS) has been extensively investigated in multiple contexts. However, few studies have explored its correlation with Islamic junior high English students’ proficiency test results. To fill the void, this study examines relationship between L2MSS and scores among Indonesian school students. Data were garnered quantitatively from 30 students of an Institute for ...

As the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) is premised on monolingualism, which ignores cross-cutting properties of multilingual environments, this study investigates English Learning and its structural characteristics students in a junior high school minority-inhabited area Guizhou Province, China. These ethnic minority not only learn their native language (minority languages), but also Mandar...

Based on the controversial beliefs among L2 teachers about effective corrective feedback (CF) strategies, recast and prompts as 2 kinds of CF have drawn the attention of L2 researchers(e.g., Braidi, 2002; Iwashita, 2003; Loewen & Philp, 2006; Panova & Lyster, 2002; Sheen, 2004). Despite these numbers of studies, debate continues to exist about their usefulness as a CF technique. Whereas recasts...

This paper studies the existence and decay estimates of weak solutions to surface growth equation. First, global is obtained by approximation method introduced Majda Bertozzi [Vorticity Incompressible Flow (Cambridge University Press, 2001)]. Then, we derive L2-decay rates via Fourier splitting under assumption that u0∈L1(R)∩L2(R). For more general cases, i.e., u0∈L2(R), behavior in L2 spectral...

Forty-three medical students and 78 nursing students each filled out four copies of the Interpersonal Check List. The subjects described self, ideal self as physician or nurse, and typical and ideal work partner. For each questionnaire the two summary scores Dom and Lov were computed. The results indicate a discrepancy between concepts of self and ideal self and the results also point to consid...

This study was designed to explore the relation pattern of cultural intelligence, cultural identity, autonomy, and self-efficacy and second language achievement of Iranian EFL learners. The participants were 247 undergraduate students. Data were collected nationwide, from different parts of Iran; that is, from Kerman, south of Iran; Hamadan, west of Iran; Mashhad, east of Iran; and Gorgon, nort...

In this note we address the problem of finding Abelian instantons of finite energy on the Euclidean Schwarzschild manifold. This amounts to construct self-dual L2 harmonic 2-forms on the space. Gibbons found a non-topological L2 harmonic form in the Taub-NUT metric, leading to Abelian instantons with continuous energy. We imitate his construction in the case of the Euclidean Schwarzschild manif...
