Investigating EFL learnersâ perception of narrative task difficulty
Authors
Abstract:
As this paper was a very close version of âInvestigating task difficulty: learnersâ and teachersâ perceptionsâ by Dr. Parvaneh Tavakoli (published in âInternational Journal of Applied Linguisticsâ, Vol. 19, No. 1) in terms of content, research design, analytic framework and research findings without appropriately referencing resources used or obtaining author's consent, the paper was considered an infringement to the author's copyright and therefore has been permanently removed from this journal. Please note, as "Applied Research on English Language", which belongs to the University of Isfahan, has only one official website (uijs.ui.ac.it/are), if you see this paper (in print or any other format) elsewhere, please do not use and/or quote it since the manuscript is not viewed as a published paper by University of Isfahan anymore.
