    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Performance Tasks in Primary EFL Classrooms]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of the study was to investigate if there was a match between 7th grade English Language Teaching Program and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom practices concerning PTs (Performance Tasks) in terms of characteristics, evaluation and contribution of PTs to language learning. The participants of this study were 30 7th grade EFL students. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire and document analysis. The data were analyzed with the use of SPSS 15.00. Results did not show a significant difference between perceptions of the PTS and gender. Similarly, no correlation was found between perceptions of the PTs and mother and father education level. The analysis of the data indicated that although classroom practices meet moderately the curricular requirements in terms of characteristics, and evaluation and contribution of PTs to language learning, there are still some problems related to PTs in EFL classroom practices.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Integrating Content and Language in the Curriculum: The Dual Focus of CLIL]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The phenomenon of multilingualism has increased in the last years in Europe, supported by the initiatives undertaken by the Council of Europe (2006), which encourage intercultural communication and multilingualism as key policy goals in the European scenario. Among the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers concerning modern languages, we can highlight concrete measures to promote multilingualism, such as the support in the application of communication and information technologies to disseminate teaching and learning materials for all European national or regional languages, or the promotion of teaching programmes at all levels using a flexible approach, and their appropriate recognition in national qualification systems, in particular public examinations.     One of the measures which have attracted a great deal of attention in the last years is the encouragement in the use of foreign languages in the teaching of non-linguistic subjects (for example history, geography, mathematics) and the implementation of favourable conditions for such teaching. With the aim of providing an answer to these needs, an educational approach has been implemented throughout Europe: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), which seeks to increase the presence of the foreign language by teaching curricular content through the medium of that foreign language. This paper analyses the rationale of CLIL as one of the most effective frameworks to foster multilingualism and to help in foreign/second language learning.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Study of Death of a Salesman in the Light of Louis Althusser’s “Ideology”]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Althusser’s work on “ideology” offers literary critics the possibility of an entirely new kind of literary criticism. It has offered a revolutionary theory of society in whose terms literature could be understood, and a politically significant rationale for doing so. In the light of his work, it seemed that literary criticism could for the first time become both scientifically true and politically radical.  The main purpose behind an ideology is to offer change in society and introduce a set of ideals where conformity already exists, through a normative thought process. What ideology creates in people’s minds is a sense of illusion of being important and also being free. The result of such an imposed thought is loss of identity which Althusser mentions as a process of turning individuals into subjects and the slaves of the system unconsciously.    The core of all Miller’s works is fragmentation of the American society. He left for the history of theater, his great tragedy, Death of a Salesman, as an outstanding modern drama. Miller is an anomalous figure in the American theater, both reviled and exalted to the highest level for his work, often for the same reason. His themes are shaped more by social and political arguments than by the grieving of the human heart. Death of a Salesman mixes the tradition of social realism that informs most of Miller’s works with a more experimental structure that includes fluid leaps in time as the main character, Willy Loman, drifts into memories of his sons as teenagers and turns to be a victim of his own delusions of grandeur and obsession with success, which leads to failure.    In this article an attempt is made to analyze Miller’s work the light of Althusser’s ideology, with reference to such new concepts as Interpellation (Subject), ISAs (Ideological State Apparatuses), RSA (Repressive State Apparatus).  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The present study aims to investigate plagiarism and its major types and causes among Iranian MA students majoring in ELT. It also aims at finding the possible similarities and differences between male and female students in terms of committing plagiarism. To do this, three classes of MA students majoring in ELT from Ilam and Shiraz universities were selected randomly from Iranian National Universities. Relying on the results of the previous studies, the study divides the causes of committing plagiarism into three major types: Time, Motivation and Awareness. To investigate plagiarism and its causes a questionnaire with 19 five-choice items was designed and through pilot study its validity and reliability were obtained. Based on Rajeev (2009) classification, plagiarism was classified into five types: full, self, partial, minimalistic and source-citation plagiarism and these were embedded in the questionnaire. The results of the study showed that as far as gender difference is concerned no significant difference was found between male and female participants with regard to the extent of committing various types of plagiarism. However, it also showed that the males were more familiar with the rules of reporting, quoting, giving reference and citation than the females. As for the causes of committing plagiarism the results showed that concerning Time both males and females had similar attitudes, while their attitudes toward Motivation and Awareness was different. Finally, while most of the females knew the lack of knowledge as a major cause of plagiarizing most males knew Motivation (not being read their term papers by the professors) as the major reason for committing plagiarism.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study investigates monetary policy transmission in the Balkans in the 21st century. In order to analyse the reaction of output and prices to a shock in monetary policy (defined as an increase in the interest rate), this study employs structural vector auto regression approach. The obtained impulse responses suggest that monetary policy in the six Balkan countries under investigation is not effective in influencing output and prices, which points towards a very limited use of monetary policy in the overall conduct of economic policy.]]></dcterms:abstract>

While JECOSS aims to embody interdisciplinary areas such as economics, business administration, public administration, political studies, international relations, labor economics and industrial relations, econometrics, sociology and psychology, this Special Issue focuses on contemporary economic issues in the Balkans and is titled as &quot;A Comparative Analysis of Current Economic Development in the Balkan Countries&quot;..  The Balkan Peninsula (South Eastern Europe) is an important area where both important historical and political events are taken place for the centuries. It has also recently experienced an unprecedented transformation. Over the past two decades, the Balkan Countries have gone through very important economic, social and political changes. Some former socialist countries (Bulgaria-2007, Slovenia-2004 and Romania-2007) and Greece (1981) have become full members of the EU. Some other Balkan countries (Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Macedonia) have experienced fierce political conflicts which ended up with the wars in the region in 1990s. Following the turmoil, these countries have started to struggle for economic, social and political reconstruction process. In the war and during economic and politicaltransformation, many of the Balkan countries had economically declined. Their welfare levels had gone down.]]></dcterms:abstract>
