Graphic organizers (GOs) are visual frameworks assisting students in the comprehension of a text. Studies in literature have mostly focused on L1 readers and there is a lack of empirical research about the instructional effects of GOs on L2 readers. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of GOs on reading comprehension achievement of EFL learners. An experimental design with...

Cooperative approach presents an example of an “innovative approach” (Ellis, 2003) that constitutes a paradigm shift in the area of language teaching.

Four synthetic peptides (Peptidyl MIMs; Demeter Biotechnologies, Inc.) were evaluated for their in vitro activity against Acholeplasma laidlawii. Fifty percent effective concentration values ranged from 1 to 15 microM. Three of these compounds are more lethal than cecropin B against A. laidlawii.

A tandem solar cell device whose sub-cells are fabricated exclusively from small molecules (SMs) through both solution-processed and vacuum-processed deposition techniques is described. The front sub-cell's active layer consists of a bulk heterojunction (BHJ) DPP(TBFu)2:PC70BM device while the back cell has a typical bilayer structure employing a 2,4-bis[4-(N,N-diisobutylamino)-2,6-dihydroxyphe...

Developing L2 learners’ emotional balance through adaptive regulation is a significant determinant of successful learning. Despite the recent surge interest in emotion (ER) programs, research on ER strategies surprisingly underdeveloped. To address this gap, current qualitative study explored ten understanding achievement emotions and throughout longitudinal ER-oriented training course. Data we...
