Many classroom climate studies suffer from two critical problems. They: (a) treat climate as a studentlevel (L1) variable in single-level analyses instead of a classroom-level (L2) construct in multilevel analyses; and (b) rely on manifest-variable models rather than latent-variable models that control measurement error at L1 and L2, and sampling error in the aggregation of L1 ratings to form L...

We correct the result of a previous paper which purported to show that L2(41) was not a subgroup of M. Our main result is that there is exactly one conjugacy class of subgroups L2(41) in the Monster. Such subgroups are self-normalizing and maximal. This leads to a new unexplained Moonshine phenomenon.

Accentedness is associated with listeners’ evaluative judgements, which might affect an L2 speaker’s construction of image about linguistic self-worth and competence, described as language (L2) self-esteem. This line inquiry pursued in the study presented this paper, investigates relationship between self-esteem extent to a learner’s pronunciation differs from listener’s representation it – acc...

It is well documented that language learning success or failure is influenced by the affective side of the learner. Self-efficacy and anxiety are among the affective factors influencing language learning. This study first explores the relationship between EFL learners' self-efficacy in reading comprehension and their reading anxiety. Secondly, it explores the relationship between EFL learners' ...

This study attempts to answer one straightforward question: “what is the relationship between students’ proficiency level and their willingness communicate?”, i.e., “readiness enter into discourse at a particular time with specific person or persons”, using an L2. Understanding link WTC important as great deal of effort expended by teachers worldwide on encouraging learners engage in L2, intera...

Motivated by problems on Brownian motion, we introduce a recursive scheme for a basis construction in the Hilbert space L2(0, 1) which is analogous to that of Haar and Walsh. More generally, we find a new decomposition theory for the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on the unit-interval, both with respect to Lebesgue measure, and also with respect to a wider class of self-similar me...
