Purpose The ideal self has had a place in management literature recent years with reference to identity and role change. However, except for JMD article 2006, there been little theorizing on the self, which is often treated as static construct. purpose of this update refine concept explain dynamic nature Design/methodology/approach This conceptual paper based review psychology related its compo...

This study examines the links between L2 linguistic knowledge, L2 listening strategy use, self-determined motivation, and L2 listening anxiety relative to L2 listening proficiency. Prior theoretical and empirical work suggests that these variables are interrelated in complex ways, and this hypothesis is tested here using structural equation modeling with a sample of 300 high school foreign lang...

In L2 development, the cognitive complexity of tasks plays a crucial role in task performance and language features produced. However, there have only been few studies addressing the impact of task complexity on EFL learners' attention to L2 system and form-focused self-repairs (FFS).This study explores the role of increasing cognitive task complexity in EFL learners' form-focused attention (FF...

Read produced the first example of a Banach space ER such that the associated Banach algebra B(ER) of bounded operators admits a discontinuous derivation (J. London Math. Soc. 1989). We generalize the main theorem about B(ER) from which Read deduced this conclusion, as well as the key technical step in his proof, by constructing a strongly split-exact sequence {0} −→ W (ER) −→ B(ER) −→ ←− l2(N)...

L2 (second/foreign language) motivation research in Finland has been scarce. Furthermore, international motivational focused more on ideal and ought-to selves, leaving the current self-concept background. In present study, we attempted to address this gap, exploring what shapes L1 (mother tongue) Finnish students' understanding of themselves as users learners L2s. Using structural equation mode...

We investigate stability and instability of steady ideal plane flows for an arbitrary bounded domain. First, we obtain some general criteria for linear and nonlinear stability. Second, we find a sufficient condition for the existence of a growing mode to the linearized equation. Third, we construct a steady flow which is nonlinearly and linearly stable in the L2 norm of vorticity but linearly u...
