In the realm of second language acquisition (SLA), task-based language teaching (TBLT) and input enhancement (IE) have been the focus of a great number of studies. However, the idea of investigating the effects of focus on form instruction through input-enhanced tasks along with pre-task planning time as one of the features of task-based language teaching has been rarely explored in the field o...

We employ a recently introduced structured input-output analysis (SIOA) approach to analyze streamwise and spanwise wavelengths of flow structures in stably stratified plane Couette flow. In the low-Reynolds number ($Re$) low-bulk Richardson ($Ri_b$) spatially intermittent regime, we demonstrate that SIOA predicts high amplification associated with corresponding characteristic oblique turbulent...

Abstract Artificial neural networks are referred to as universal approximators due their inherent ability reconstruct complex linear and nonlinear output maps conceived input-output relationships from data sets. This can be done by reducing large via regularization in order establish compact models containing fewer parameters aimed at describing vital dependencies In situations where the sets c...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the use of simultaneous multisensory structured language instruction promoted better letter name and sound production, word reading, and word spelling for second grade children with typical development (N = 6) or with dyslexia (N = 5) than structured language instruction alone. The use of non-English graphemes (letters) to represent two prete...

stack: as ∈ Exp∗ Table 5.1 on the preceding page defines the function BC2IRinstr which takes a bytecode address, a bytecode instruction and an abstract input stack, and produces an IR instruction and an abstract output stack. The function reconstructs the high-level expressions from operand-stack manipulating bytecode instructions. The bytecode instructions store x, putf f , newC , and callm ar...

This study investigated the effects of blog-mediated instruction on English-as-a-foreign language (EFL) learners’ writing performance and anxiety. In addition, it aimed to probe into the EFL learners’ attitudes towards blog-mediated writing instruction. The participants of the study included forty-six Iranian EFL learners from two intact university classes, who were randomly assigned to the Con...
