Language learning is strongly affected by different affective variables. Motivation has a nucleus role in one’s learning process. However, the purpose of this article is to examine students’ motivation and attitudes towards learning English. I am going firstly to investigate students’ motivation in terms of Instrumental and Integrative motivations based on Gardner’ definitions, then, I will regard to their attitudes vis à vis the importance of English in various contexts namely: The Educational context, The Algerian social context and The Cultural context, and for a better understanding, I have conducted a study with 1st year EFL students from the University of Sidi Bel-Abbès. To collect data for this research, a questionnaire is submitted to fifty students. As a close look to the students’ motivation, the findings show that students are firmly in favour of Instrumental Motivation; their views are related to job opportunities and media. As far as students’ attitudes are concerned, they hold a favourable attitude towards both English language and culture.

This paper, titled Age as a Factor of Second Language Acquisition examines the relationship of age factor to second language acquisition. It examines the development of the theories relating age to language development. The idea that the early age is a major factor in native-proficient in second language acquisition is a widely held and popular belief. Such views have been supported by many theories that were first proposed in the middle of the 20th century. This decision is usually based on the belief that younger children learn second languages more easily and more rapidly than adolescents and adults. The aim of foreign languages at the beginning of school education is to make children familiar with other means of communication other than their mother tongue, as well as to make them accept the use of other languages in a natural way and therefore start to acquire a multilingual competence that will enable them to communicate in a foreign language in daily situations and contexts which are typical of that age.

Gülbün Abstract A summary of the resource. The female novelists, George Eliot with “Middlemarch” and Ayşe Kulin with “Füreya”, have added a new scope to their own literature by creating heroines who had to witness historical, social, political and daily life events in their own country during a time of transition. The female characters Dorothea and Füreya expose an unusual intelligence in their Works with their independent spirit become the focus of attention as they are unable to accept their traditional norms imposed on them. Both characters are described as pioneers and are victimized by their husbands until they set themselves free. The characters relationship between town and country, and between landed families living in an ever diminishing feudal atmosphere are displayed within a world of intersecting interests of the newly rich class. Thus, the characters presented are more than individuals, they are both real and symbolic, both highly individual portraits and organic parts of a carefully constructed society they exist in. In many ways, they exemplify liberal humanism of their time valuing democracy, innovation and progress. An analytical approach to Kulin’s and Eliot’s narration will show that both writers have depicted their major characters from a feminist point of view to underline their hardships in a male dominated world. Although Kulin’s work in a biography of the first Turkish ceramic artist Füreya, it shifts into fiction with its fascinating scenes while Eliot’s fiction reminds the reader the life of Saint Teresa of Avila who has been a role model for many Theresas like Dorothea. The purpose of the paper is to draw attention with a close-up reading to the recurring images, themes that emerge from each heroine’s social, psychological and authentic experiences in a male dominated culture. Therefore, the paper will suggest that there is a universal patterning in the representation of women and women’s writing regardless of the socio-background in which the texts are produced.

Metaphorical vocabulary of the English language is often problematic for EFL students both in receptive and productive skills. One possible way of overcoming this difficulty is conscious development of learning strategies, which aid comprehension and production and lead to the autonomy of students. In order to ascertain the repertoire of strategies that students use when coping with metaphorical meaning a research was conducted at the Department of English at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad. The research lasted for one year and was organized as follows: at the beginning of the academic year the students who participated in the research (experimental group, N=20; control group, N=20) took the first test which comprised a variety of exercises intended to elicit metaphorical thinking. This was followed by an interview with volunteers (N=10+10). After one semester, during which both the experimental and control group attended the same classes with the same syllabus, the only difference being the structured input presented to the experimental group, both groups took the second test and participated in the interview. After the second semester, organized in the same way as the first, the students took the third test and participated in the interview. The qualitative analysis of the interviews was aimed at ascertaining the scope of strategies students use when dealing with metaphors, so this paper focuses on one of the established strategies – grouping. This strategy is based on students’ ability to see the common denominator among different lexemes and phrases, which helps them identify the metaphor behind groups of words that, in turn, enables them both to understand the metaphorical meanings and to memorize them. The paper will demonstrate how, in time, the differences between the experimental and control groups grow larger and how, consequently, the development of strategic metaphorical competence results in students’ autonomy.

The viability of task-based language teaching (TBLT) for primary school learners in Japan is a controversial issue. Some teachers and teacher educators are doubtful about using tasks because primary school children have very limited productive ability in English. However, as Ellis (2009) pointed out, tasks can be ‘input-based’ as well as output-based. Such tasks require learners to demonstrate their understanding of the L2 and can also provide opportunities for learning new language. The study investigated the use of input-based tasks with young, beginner Japanese learners of English by examining both learning outcomes (i.e. acquisition) and the interactions that resulted from implementing the tasks. The participants were 15 learners aged six with no experience of learning a L2. The target features were 36 vocabulary items (24 nouns and 12 adjectives) and plural -s. The input-based instruction consisted of three listen-and-do tasks, which were repeated nine times over a five week period. The analysis of the process features found that even though production was not required by the tasks, the learners contributed actively. The tasks resulted in naturalistic conversation, negotiation of meaning, and ‘focus on form’, all of which have been claimed to facilitate acquisition. The learners improved significantly in both receptive and productive knowledge of the vocabulary items and in receptive knowledge of plural -s over time and also outperformed a control group. The study shows that tasks can be successfully designed and implemented in the Japanese EFL classroom with young beginner learners. Listen-and-do tasks can create contexts for the incidental acquisition of both vocabulary and grammar and are effective in promoting the development of interactional competence in English.

Orhan Veli Kanık was a Turkish poet who is the founder of Garip Movement together with some other eminent Turkish poets. He is known for his innovative poetry with a style closer to free verse and his unique voice, and depth of emotion underlying his diction. In his momentary poems he observes the scenery and listens to the music in nature. In the same way, William Wordsworth mirrors the harmony within nature in his poetry .He was a major English romantic poet who, with some others, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature. The aim of this study is to analyse Wordsworth’s “Upon Westminister Bridge” sonnet describing London and the River Thames and Orhan Veli’s “I’m Listening to İstanbul” from a stylistic point of view by the help of vivid nature images of sights and melodic examples of sounds from the poems. Thouroughout our study it will be revealed that how Eastern and Western ways of perceiving natural beauty change and how sounds and sights in two different poems picturing two imperial capitals of two different culture resemble each other.
