    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Implementation of a Computer-Based Course on Moodle]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Increasing popularity of Internet led to expectation of course materials and activities  to be distributed and collected online. Many universities have already started to support the  courses with the technology. But most of them are still lack of a structured, well designed  Learning Management System. Therefore, instructors in these universities are still distributing  course materials (like presentation files) to students at the end of their lectures and collecting  assignments by email. This approach is open to many problems. Being aware of these problems,  Epoka University started a pilot implementation of Moodle in 2010. This study presents  experience of this implementation on a computer-based course (C Programming) which is  aimed to be useful to the other education institutions.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between religiosity and business ethics.  Two dimensions of religiosity – intrinsic an extrinsic- were studied. We mainly tested one hypothesis:  whether ethical attitudes are affected by religiosity. However, we also explored the relationship  between ethical attitudes, intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity and various demographic measures of the  participants.In our study, we surveyed 510 managers and white-collar workers from 6 different  organizations in Turkey. Our survey instruments have three parts. First part included 24-vignette  ethics scale of Barnett and Brown (1994). Second part included 14-item religiosity scale of Allport  and Ross (1967). Third part contained various demographic measures. Findings of the study show that  intrinsic religiosity is partly and negatively correlated with ethical attitudes and extrinsic religiosity is  positively related to the ethical attitudes. In other words, intrinsically motivated people are more  prone to behave ethically than extrinsically motivated people are.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Begining from the second half of the 1980s the concept of intrapreneurship found  an intense interest in the academic and business fields. It is seen that numerous academic  studies which are related with intrapreneurship have been done during that time. Although  intraprenurship is attempted to be defined in different ways, the most general sense of  intrapreneurship is considered to be entrepreneurship within an existing organization. In this  sense, intrapreneurship is regarded as individuals‘ being involved in the form of  entrepreneurial activities within an existing organization. In this study, firstly we defined the  concept of intrapreneurship then information about the requirements and dimensions of  intrapreneurship, process of creating intrapreneursship, comparison of executives and  intrapreneurship, motivation of intrapreneurship, differences of domestic and foreign  entrepreneurs and intrapreneurship in SMEs. Finally we were measure intrapreneurship in  SMEs by questionnaire at our last part of study.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to review the historical background of grammar  instruction in ESL/EFL to find out its present status, and to suggest how to approach grammar  instruction. Language teaching methodologists have not presented consistent advices to  teachers about the role of grammar in language teaching and learning over the past some  decades. Even today the situation is not clear because of the many conflicting positions taken  in the methodological literature. The status of grammar in second or foreign language teaching  and learning has shifted to a considerable degree. The shift of grammatical status has been  from a position of central importance to disregardful status, and back to a position of renewed  importance. Some focus on form is necessary for many learners to achieve accuracy and  fluency in their acquisition of a second or foreign language. Grammar interacts with words,  and it is resources to create and negotiate meaning and communication between speaker/writer  and listener/reader. Structures are not learned in isolation, and language learning is an organic  process characterized by backsliding, leaps in competence, and grammatical elements.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[SLA Implications to Language Learning Strategies and Pedagogy]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The topic of language learning has been one of the most prolific areas of research in  ESL education in recent years. With the advent of the communicative approach in ESL  education, greater responsibility has been placed on ESL learners for their own learning then  under the previous teaching methods used in ESL classrooms. Therefore, the learners under  the communicative approach often need to employ various and specific language learning  strategies in order to carry out their tasks or to facilitate their language learning. The purpose  of this paper is to provide ESL teachers with a broad picture for the area of language learning  strategies. In addition, it aims to offer ESL teachers some applications for their own  classrooms. There have been there major domains related to research on language learning  strategies: 1) identification and classification of language learning strategies; 2) factors  influencing the use of language learning strategies; and 3) language learning strategy training.  Several implications and applications are discussed based on the findings from the three  domains.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper argues how current popular TV Shows can increase motivation and help  the pupils learn vocabulary in a fast and an effective way. They can serve as great time savers  and more memorable activities for the benefit of them. The use of vocabulary in a meaningful  context adds up to its invaluable outcome in terms of student participation and attitudes  towards the lessons. Moreover, an ELT teacher may construct his/her own teaching material  out of these shows and plans the vocabulary teaching lessons according to the needs of the  pupils. It is also believed that all of the pupils would like to have and enjoy these shows as  their vocabulary lessons regardless of their gender. Seven sample lessons taken from a  comedy show called &quot;My Name is Earl&quot; are used in the study to illustrate the case. The study  was applied to 50 students in International School of Sarajevo.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Personality type is a concept which, in the field of research of the  organizational culture, could be related to the Briggs &amp; Myers model of  personality development. Briggs and Myers were the authors of the world’s  most extensive database of the MBTI or the Myers-Briggs personality type  indicators. Today, the appliance of the MBTI model is supported by the  observation of typological code for 16 types of personalities, while  dichotomy of these four preferences results in 16 types of personality that  form the base of the Myers model and the MBTI indicator. Based on the  observation of a typological code for 16 personality types and by  permutation of dichotomies of these four preferences, 16 personality types  which form the base of the Myer’s model and the MBTI indicator were  defined. Nowadays, it is well-known, that dominance of personality types  among individuals, as well as among personality types of organizations,  could vary from culture to culture. On the basis of these researches it was  confirmed that specific quality of a culture and characteristics of the climate  in which the culture has been developing (specific beliefs, system of values  and patterns of behavior) determine the way in which the organizational  culture will develop and the directions which it will follow. They also define  the relations between an individual and an organization, among individuals,  especially in the sense of defining freedoms, rights and power relations.  The aim of this research is to investigate the possibility of appliance of the  MBTI personality indicators, to both, individuals and school organizations.  Using the results of this widespread and cross-culturally applied indicator, it  is possible to establish a unique profile of schools and individuals employed  there. It is also possible to establish characteristic strengths and weaknesses,  work environment, communication styles, management types, and by  recognizing a dominant profile, it is possible to influence the improvement  of the work quality of an individual and of the whole school organization.]]></dcterms:abstract>
