    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Attitudes of Education Faculty Students towards Compulsory English  Courses: The Case of Ağrı Ibrahim Ceçen University]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Attitudes toward learning a language is thought to be one of the most important factors  affecting the failure or success of the foreign language learners. In this respect, the aim of this study  was to determine the attitudes of Education Faculty students at Đbrahim Çeçen University, Ağrı,  Turkey, towards compulsory English courses. The subjects of this study were 249 Faculty of  Education students from 5 different departments. In the study, the relationship between attitudes of  the students towards such variables as demographic data related to the participants’ genders and  departments was searched using a foreign language attitude scale prepared by Çakıcı (2007). For  the data analysis, SPSS 17 program was used and for the assessment of the results independent  Sample t-test and descriptive statistics were used. According to the result of the study, at the  Education Faculty of Đbrahim Çeçen University 135 (54,2%) of the students had a negative attitude  towards compulsory English courses, whereas 114 (45,8%) of them had positive attitude. The results  of the study showed that there was a significant difference between the attitudes of male students and  female ones t(247)=2,45, p&lt;0,05. Female students had more positive attitudes (M =137,79) than  male students (M = 132,40).]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[“Ahilik‖ is the name of a society which had played a crucial role on  social, economic and cultural life of Anatolian people from 13th century to today.  The ethical principles established by this society have had significant effects on  commercial life in Turkish territories throughout history. The teachings of Ahilik  can be found in ‗Futuvvetnames‘ which are the books that include basic moral  rules and principles of commerce such as fellowship, helpfullness, honesty and  tolerance. These set of principles are still significant in today‘s business life in  Turkey. On the other hand, today‘s widespread ethical business principles in the  world are mainly rooted in well-known marketing and business organizations. The  Ethical Codes of American Marketing Association are one of the most well known  ethical codes in current business terminology. The purpose of this study is to  analyze the similarities and differences between the moral rules of ‗Ahilik‘ and  ethical norms and values of American Marketing Association.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Economic development refers to economic growth accompanied by changes in  output distribution and economic structure. These changes: improvement in material, a decline in  an agriculture‘s share of gross national product(GNP), increasing share of industry in GNP,  increasing education level, substantial technical advance and etc. Human Development Index is  one of the measurement of Economic development. Economist need skillful labor force is  provided by universities to ensure qualified more production with value added for economic  growth and development. We saw that universities contributed innovation to become monopol in  world market, relationship between domestic private companies and foreing ones, ensuring  sustainable development, to become guide for foreign and domestic firms. In addition, universites  contributed as information office. In this study, we analyzed contribution of technology and  internet to the university and contribution of universities to economic development of country.  We have worked and searched in private university in foreign country for 12 years. So, we aimed  productive study with work experience abroad, observing and interactive study with  academicians in other universities. We analyzed our study under three main titles; Functions of  universities and categorize of countries. How to improve level of economic lesson by using  internet among countries.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Many studies on effective language teaching process draw attention to the  importance of teacher roles in this process, and give advice teachers to have prior  knowledge about what their students know before beginning the instruction. This study is  intended to draw an effective English language teacher profile by taking into consideration  first year students’ readiness levels and their experiences during their former education  periods. In order to fulfill this aim, 38 preparatory class students from Tourism Vocational  College Preparatory Programs, Erzincan University, were chosen at the beginning of 2009-  2010 academic year. Participants were asked to write a composition on the evaluation of  their prior language education experiences during their primary and high school years  giving examples from English teachers who they admired most or they were not satisfied  with. The analyses of the student compositions showed that some frequently experienced  problems negatively affect foreign language education process. The most common of the  problems were related to English teachers and English courses at schools as well as those  stemming from teaching environments and teacher characteristics in Turkey.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The potential to remove Cr (VI) ion from aqueous solutions using modified rye  straws (MRS), through adsorption was investigated in batch experiments. Rye straws were  collected from vicinity of Konya, Turkey and modified with various amount of citric acid (CA).  The parameter for modification was selected by trying different parameters such as time,  temperature and citric acid quantity. The rate of adsorption was studied under a variety of  conditions including initial Cr (VI) concentration (1.10-4-4.10-3M), amount of adsorbent (0.05-  0.4 g), pH (1.5 to 7), and contact time (5-240 min). Adsorption of Cr (VI) uptake is in all cases  pH-dependent showing a maximum at equilibrium at pH values of 1.5-2.0 for (MRS). The  batch sorption kinetics has been tested and the applicability of the Langmuir and Freundlich  adsorption isotherms for the present system has been tested at 25°C. The experimental results  inferred that adsorption, electrostatic attraction, complexation and chelation are major  adsorption mechanisms for binding Cr (VI) ion to the (MRS).  Compared to the various other adsorbents reported in the literature, the (MRS) shows very good  alternative adsorbent for practical applicability for waste streams and the results indicated that  MRS can be employed as a low cost alternative in the removal of Cr (VI) ion from wastewater.]]></dcterms:abstract>
