Limited research on the relationship between pre-service English language teachers' foreign speaking anxiety and their willingness to communicate, particularly in Turkish context, paved way for present inquiry. Considering utmost importance of two interrelated concepts, this quantitative study investigates communicate within a correlational design. Eighty-four first-year ELT students from unive...

We describe a 37-year-old male engineer who presented with cough and dyspnea 3 weeks after exposure to dust resulting from the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC). Radiographs of the chest and high-resolution CT demonstrated diffuse miliary nodularity. Lung biopsy specimens confirmed the presence of diffuse, noncaseating granulomatous nodules. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-disper...

The online learning mode has dramatically altered the manner of way how communication is conducted in at higher education or schools for past two years. It led to a considerable change carried out, transferring it from an offline setting that permits long distance connection and communication. However, this effect on students’ engagement class as many them exhibit passive unresponsive behavior ...

This action research examines the concept of Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in a second language acquisition context. The researcher investigated the contributors of WTC in a foreign language classroom setting. Therefore, a multiple assignments method and sequence was applied.

Maritime search and surveillance-type missions typically require heavy human involvement. A set of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has the potential to provide a “sensor network” to greatly increase efficiency and effectiveness of these surveillance type missions. However, limited autonomy is still a bottleneck to networked UAV applications. High operator involvement is required in logistics an...

Willingness to communicate (WTC) research has recently witnessed a paradigm shift with the more recent studies looking at shifting and dynamic nature of variable. A growing body literature interpreted such dynamicity from complex systems (CDS) perspective. The theory CDS four basic properties, one which, focus this study, is interconnectedness among subsystems. This property mainly involves int...
