Abstract Students can only benefit from teacher feedback if they recognise its value for learning. However, there is still a lack of research to investigate the factors influencing students’ perceptions in context learning English as foreign language. This study investigated impacts two significant individual (i.e. possible second language (L2) selves and strategies) 687 college learners on the...

This study explored the ideal L2 self, ought-to and learning experience of motivational self system (L2MSS) among Thai EFL senior high school students. It took form an explanatory mixed-methods research design using L2MSS questionnaire adopted from Taguchi et al. (2009) Subekti (2018) to collect quantitative data 183 students a semi-structured interview with 6 for qualitative data. Results reve...

self-assessment helps learners to acquire self-confidence and gives them insightfulfeedbacks. there is no valid self-assessment inventory for learners of english foracademic purposes (eap). this study aimed at developing an academicallyappropriate instrument to measure tertiary students’ english in academic situations.the study used both qualitative and quantitative methods in developing the se...

This study explores the relationships between L2 motivational self system (L2MSS)—Ideal self, Ought-to and Learning experience—and willingness to communicate (WTC) based on results of a questionnaire survey 120 freshmen from English majors (English, Business English, Translation). The demonstrate that: (1) in L2MSS, ideal has greatest mean 3.83, WTC 3.74. Overall, each value is upper-middle ran...

Let L1 be a finite lattice with an ideal L2. Then the restriction map is a {0, 1}-homomorphism from ConL1 into ConL2. In 1986, the present authors published the converse. If D1 and D2 are finite distributive lattices, and φ : D1 → D2 is a {0, 1}-homomorphism, then there are finite lattices L1 and L2 with an embedding η of L2 as an ideal of L1, and there are isomorphisms ε1 : ConL1 → D1 and ε2 :...

Although Gardner and his associates’ work was most influential in the field of L2 motivation, from the early 1990s onwards, their work has been criticized for several reasons. Some researchers claimed that integrative and instrumental orientations were no longer able to convey the complexity of the L2 motivation construct. To examine this complexity, the present study attempted to investigate t...

This study reports on the development and validation of a questionnaire for exploring the different types of EFL teachers’ possible selves. First, a theoretical framework behind possible selves theory and its types was cultivated through an extensive review of the related literature and content analysis of 24 transcribed semi-structured interviews with ELT experts. Second, the questionn...
