This article sets out to examine the effect of utilizing different culturally-based materials on EFL university students' foreign language reading anxiety, reading comprehension self-efficacy, and reading proficiency within project-based classes. The research was carried out with two classes of intermediate freshmen majoring in English Language Teaching. The comparison group had to present thei...

Control over the integrative self-sorting of metallo-supramolecular assemblies opens up possibilities for introducing increased complexity and function into a single self-assembled architecture. Herein, the relationship between the geometry of three ligand components and morphology of three self-sorted heteroleptic [Pd2 L2 L'2 ]4+ cages is examined. Pd-mediated assembly of two bis-monodentate p...

This study used interval scaling to assess degree of perceived foreign accent in English sentences spoken by native and non-native talkers. Native English listeners gave significantly higher (i.e., more authentic) pronunciation scores to native speakers of English than to Chinese adults who began learning English at an average age of 7.6 years. The results for the "child learners" suggest that ...

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...
