The Influence of Cultural Contexts in Learners’ Attributions for Success and Failure in Foreign Language Learning


Free Download Ana Sofia Gonzalez, "The Influence of Cultural Contexts in Learners’ Attributions for Success and Failure in Foreign Language Learning"
English | ISBN: 1443874477 | 2015 | 350 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Attribution theory has attracted considerable attention in recent years, especially in the field of language learning. A great share of the research conducted in this area has attempted to uncover factors that could influence learners’ perceptions of success and failure in foreign language learning. Particular emphasis has been given to factors like age, gender, perceived level of success, and language studied, and some suggestions that learners’ cultures also play a part have been made, although conclusions based on researchers’ assumptions of learners’ culture characteristics can run the risk of falling into stereotyping. This book is the result of research conducted to show that learners’ cultural characteristics (previously researched and analysed by means of grounded theory and factor analysis) may influence not only the attributions mentioned by them for their successes and failures in learning English, but also the way learners see these attributions in terms of their dimensions of locus of causality, stability and controllability (a classification that has been regarded as common-sense and has, therefore, often been made by researchers themselves). This book will be of interest to scholars whose research focus is in theories of motivation and self-theories, especially as they are applied to learning in general, and language learning in particular. It will also be useful to language teachers, especially those working in foreign language learning contexts as they are in a good position to identify reasons for their learners’ lack of motivation caused by their success and failure perceptions, and may have some ideas on how to retrain learners’ attributions, particularly those which are more external and stable.

The Orientalizing Revolution Near Eastern Influence on Greek Culture in the Early Archaic Age

English | 1992 | ISBN: 0674643631 | 238 Pages | PDF | 7.2 MB
The splendid culture of the ancient Greeks has often been described as emerging like a miracle from a genius of its own, owing practically nothing to its neighbors. Walter Burkert offers a decisive argument against that distorted view, pointing toward a balanced picture of the archaic period "in which, under the influence of the Semitic East-from writers, craftsmen, merchants, healers-Greek culture began its unique flowering, soon to assume cultural hegemony in the Mediterranean."

English | ISBN: 9798868623233 | 2024 | M4B@64 kbps | ~01:21:00 | 38 MB
In the world of psychology there are many fascinating topics however there are a few topics that seem to instantly enthrall and captivate people’s attention. Those topics deal with the following subjects influence, persuasion, how to control other human beings and manipulation. In regards to the latter what fascinates us most about manipulation is that we have all used it in our lives at one time or another. The same can be also said about persuasion which is defined as the ability to convince a person or group of people to change their beliefs strong enough to act on them.
When people use persuasion or manipulation as a tactic they seek to influence people to get what they want or to achieve their objectives. This is why the topic of influence is a fascinating topic to most because it involves power. The power to have an important effect on someone or something. If someone influences someone else, they are changing a person or thing in an indirect but important way. Ultimately to have power over someone is to have control over them.

Ecofeminism (Critique Influence Change)


Free Download Pnina Werbner, "Ecofeminism (Critique Influence Change)"
English | 2014 | pages: 360 | ISBN: 1350379883, 8185107335, 8185107335 | EPUB | 0,7 mb
In this groundbreaking work, two world-renowned scholars argue that ecological destruction and industrial catastrophes constitute a direct threat to everyday life, the maintenance of which has been made the particular responsibility of women. In both industrialized societies and the developing countries, the new wars the world is experiencing, violent ethnic chauvinisms and the malfunctioning of the economy also pose urgent questions for ecofeminists. Is there a relationship between patriarchal oppression and the destruction of nature in the name of profit and progress? How can women counter the violence inherent in these processes? Should they look to a link between the women’s movement and other social movements?
