Using a mixed methods design, the present study attempted to identify the factors influencing Iranian untrained EFL raters in rating group oral discussion tasks. To fulfil this aim, 16 language learners of varying proficiency levels were selected and randomly assigned to groups of four and performed a group discussion task. Thirty two untrained raters were also selected based on their volunteer...

We show that Thompson’s group F is the symmetry group of the ‘generic idempotent’. That is, take the monoidal category freely generated by an object A and an isomorphism A ⊗ A A; then F is the group of automorphisms of A.

We consider random subgroups of Thompson’s group F with respect to two natural stratifications of the set of all k generator subgroups of this group. We find that the isomorphism classes of subgroups which occur with positive density vary greatly between the two stratifications. We give the first known examples of persistent subgroups, whose isomorphism classes occur with positive density withi...

We investigate the cogrowth and distribution of geodesics in R. Thompson’s group F .
