The role of motivation in L2 acquisition in Croatia has been studied mostly through the concepts of affective factors, and attitudes in learning English, and within the institutional context (Mihaljević-Djigunović 1998 and 2002, Scotti Jurić and Ambrosi-Rosandić 2010). This paper focuses on attitudes of students learning the Italian in foreign language schools, since it is the language that they choose to learn in their free time, enrolling a course that is not a part of the formal education process. It measures some of the factors that motivate course participants in Croatia to learn Italian. For that purpose we developed a questionnaire with five-point Likert scale. The research questions were related to three different topics: sources of motivation, attitudes on the methods of teaching Italian and attitudes on various types of activities accomplished during the course. The participants to the survey were grouped according to their age: children (preschool, primary school children), teenagers/adolescents (secondary school children), adults (students, employed, unemployed, retired and others). The sample included a total of 120 students (40 for each group) from the Centre for Foreign Languages in Split (Croatia) who were enrolled in the Italian language courses during the summer semester of 2012. The study will try to answer the following questions: What are the predominant types of motivation?, How is the type of motivation related to age?, Is there a relationship between attitudes, learning dynamics and activities of studying Italian when contrasted to motivation? The aim of this paper is to provide data on motivation and learning strategies among different age groups of Italian L2 learners in non-institutional settings, as well as to understand the motivation that they already have in order to rethink and improve the teaching of Italian L2 according to their needs. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He was careful enough to make his own twist even when writing a story that could seemingly belong to the Gothic subgenre, as with his novella The Turn of The Screw. It has all the necessary Gothic elements, but its ambiguity and openness is rather a characteristic of Modernism than of a simple Gothic ghost story. In this paper, I will analyze if this novella could be considered a Modernist type of writing and to what degree. Elements that convey the Gothic tradition are noted and discussed with the notion of James’s own approach to the genre. James’s narrative strategy in The Turn of the Screw serves the purpose of ambiguity, where the unreliable narrators are rather characteristics of Modernism than of the novels that convey the Gothic genre. In this sense, the importance of the narrative strategy and unreliable narrators are the major sub-topics of this paper. It will also be discussed to what extent these features contribute to Modernism, and abandon, or deviate, the Gothic subgenre. This paper also explores the question of the narrator, especially the relation between the governess’s manuscript and the unnamed narrator’s retelling of Douglas’s reading from her manuscript. James’s use of various experimentations deviated from Gothic norms prove that he was Modernist in his approach to the story telling and the narrative technique. In addition, the reliability of the governess’s narration is discussed through a Freudian reading. Gothic conventions in the novella are closely observed in this paper. It is stressed that Gothic novels have some similarities with the traditional realist writing. Gothic prose is mostly based upon a riddle where the truth and resolution are delivered at the end, thus bringing the story to its end, whereas Modernist writing tends to end with open questions and ambiguity. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In this language, the most prominent first person singular pronouns are "saya" and "aku". However, for kids, the usage of these pronouns sometimes has been substituted by other pronouns. This research used a comedy drama entitled "Lontong" as a text to seek for the findings. The results showed that besides "saya" and "aku", children also use "kita" as well as their own names as the first person singular pronouns. In terms of politeness, using names is considered as the most humble way, followed by "kita" and "saya". Hence, using "aku" is deemed as impolite.

Yavuz Konca Cumhuriyet University, Atatürk University/Turkey Key words: Project-based learning, Humanistic approach, teaching English, active learning, efficiency of PBL ABSTRACT In recent years, the methods providing active learning have begun to play a crucial role in the field of education as the result of the humanistic approaches doctrines. One of these methods that help students to be part of the learning process is project-based learning. PBL is a new method offering active learning by engaging students with authentic problems and projects. It encourages creative thinking during learning as it helps students to learn by finding out solutions for everyday problems. It gives learners the opportunity to learn through experience since it includes producing new projects for solving actual problems. In this paper, we deal with the implementation of this method in English lessons by offering a new way of teaching English. English language teaching needs new methods, as the conventional ones are usually considered inadequate in Turkey. Reasons such as the great difference between Turkish language and English language and the difficulty of learning a new language and culture cause English teaching to be a problematic area. Hence, we aim to show the efficiency of another method that is generally used in fields of Science and Mathematics. The benefits of PBL, the problems encountered during implementation of PBL in English classes, and the attitudes of the secondary school students towards learning English through PBL are the main points of this study. We intend to determine the efficiency of PBL and to find out the learners’ opinions and emotions about this promising method by a study carried out among secondary school students learning through PBL. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They filter, modify, and implement the curriculum according to their beliefs and to the context where this curriculum innovation is being implemented (Borg 2006, Waters, 2009). In addition, the literature suggests that curriculum planners and educational policy makers often focus on the planning and initiation issues ignoring the dilemmas and obstacles that might evolve during the actual implementation (Markee, 1997), and that little attention has been given to how teachers implement changes in pedagogy (Carless, 2004). Given the crucial role of teachers' beliefs and the contextual factors which influence how teachers implement and make sense of ELT curriculum innovations, this paper presents the findings of a study which examines three teachers’ implementation of the English language curriculum in Libyan secondary schools, and compares their implementation to what is recommended by this curriculum innovation. It also sheds light on how teachers’ beliefs and other contextual factors influence the way teachers interpreted and implemented this curriculum. In order to study these issues, a qualitative research design was employed as a mode of inquiry. Data collection methods consisted of classroom observations in which audio recordings of the teachers’ actual classroom practices were obtained, and follow up interviews in which teachers commented on their classroom practices and discussed the factors shaping these practices. The interviews with the teachers shed light on the tensions between teachers’ actual classroom practices and the intentions of the curriculum. They also highlighted complex relationships among the curriculum reform, teachers’ practices, teachers’ beliefs, and other contextual factors. This paper illustrates the value of studying what teachers do while implementing ELT curriculum innovations and how their beliefs and other contextual factors influence the way teachers interpret and implement these innovations. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In addition, the literature suggests that curriculum planners and educational policy makers often focus on the planning and initiation issues ignoring the dilemmas and obstacles that might evolve during the actual implementation (Markee, 1997), and that little attention has been given to how teachers implement changes in pedagogy (Carless, 2004). Given the crucial role of teachers' beliefs and the contextual factors which influence how teachers implement and make sense of ELT curriculum innovations, this paper presents the findings of a study which examines three teachers’ implementation of the English language curriculum in Libyan secondary schools, and compares their implementation to what is recommended by this curriculum innovation. It also sheds light on how teachers’ beliefs and other contextual factors influence the way teachers interpreted and implemented this curriculum. In order to study these issues, a qualitative research design was employed as a mode of inquiry. Data collection methods consisted of classroom observations in which audio recordings of the teachers’ actual classroom practices were obtained, and follow up interviews in which teachers commented on their classroom practices and discussed the factors shaping these practices. The interviews with the teachers shed light on the tensions between teachers’ actual classroom practices and the intentions of the curriculum. They also highlighted complex relationships among the curriculum reform, teachers’ practices, teachers’ beliefs, and other contextual factors. This paper illustrates the value of studying what teachers do while implementing ELT curriculum innovations and how their beliefs and other contextual factors influence the way teachers interpret and implement these innovations.

In fact, the related literature is abundant with descriptions of learner autonomy, suggesting that there is no commonly accepted definition of it. A considerable amount of research has been done on the subject of learner autonomy in English language teaching. While some studies have focused on the new role relationship between the learner and the teacher in autonomous learning, some others have concentrated on the issue of age of the learners. Also, there are studies on the readiness level of the teachers and/or learners for autonomy. The purpose of this qualitative study is to take a critical look at a reformist action launched by the Ministry of Education in North Cyprus in English language teaching practice at secondary and high schools. More specifically, the study intends to explore English language teachers‟ perceptions of the fouryear implementation of a new teaching approach initiated as a policy to promote „learner autonomy‟ in class. To this end, 48 English teachers with different backgrounds were asked to answer a questionnaire and also interviewed in order to find out their perceptions, what kind of problems and barriers they faced in their classroom practice, and what suggestions they put forward to overcome these problems. In addition, a number of randomly selected classrooms were observed for triangulation purposes. The findings indicate that top-down reforms can be effective only when all stakeholders develop a common understanding and ownership. In addition, the readiness level of the involved people and the availability of physical facilities are important factors to consider in planning an innovative action. � https://omeka.ibu.edu.ba/files/original/f6ccf1746ed3993387dbbed616999aba.pdf dc6d157590595b882d855e3397026592 PDF Text Text Learner Autonomy in EFL classes from the Eyes of Teachers Ülker Osam & Fatoş Erozan Eastern Mediterranean University/Famagusta, North Cyprus Key words: English language teaching, curriculum reform, learner autonomy, teachers, perceptions ABSTRACT The concept of learner autonomy has become popular since the publication of Holec (1981), who defined learner autonomy as “the ability to take charge of one‟s learning” (p. 3).
