this study investigated the effects of planning on second-language written production with regard to task type. the participants were 75 iranian learners of english as a foreign language attending a private foreign language institution. they were asked to complete two different types of writing tasks (expository writing task and argumentative writing task) in different planned conditions (indiv...

To determine the yield stability and adaptability of the genotype of tobacco, 5 genotypes of flue-cured tobacco were evaluated in experiment using a randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replications at two locations including Rasht and Tirtash tobacco Research Centers (IRAN), during the growing season of 2008-2010 (four environment). The interaction of genotype × environment in ...

the research questions were as follows: 1. is there any relationship between the students concious awareness of the form and implications of the conjuncations and their improvement in using appropriate conjunctions? 2. does students knowledge of the from and the implications of the conjunctions help them to produce more coherent writings. 3. does a comparison between english conjunctions and th...

in the area of vocabulary teaching and learning although much research has been done, only some of it has led to effective techniques of vocabulary teaching and many language learners still have problem learning vocabulary. the urge behind this study was to investigate three methods of teaching words. the first one was teaching words in context based on a traditional method of teaching that is,...

In order to decrease effect of genotype × environment interaction, yield and yield stability should be considered simultaneously. In present study, 24 bread wheat genotypes were evaluated in Gorgan and Gonbad agricultural stations in 2012-13 and 2013-14 cropping seasons. Experiments were conducted based on complete block designs with three replications at 6th December and February. Combined ana...

This study was conducted to estimate stability of yield in forage sorghum varieties for identifying varieties with combine stability and high yield potential across two cropping conditions. Thus, seven forage sorghum varieties were evaluated for three years under two cropping conditions including spring (E1) and summer (E2) cropping, using a randomized complete block design with four replicatio...

abstract translation has become a cultural act which plays a significant role in human life. with the emergence of functional translation theories, and skopos theory in particular, translation has been considered as a purposeful, interpersonal and intercultural activity which is produced for particular recipients and directed by a specific purpose. this purpose determines the translatio...

The objectives of this study were to analyze genotype by environment (GE) interactions on the seed yield of 19 safflower genotypes by the additive main effects and multiplicative interactions (AMMI) model and to evaluate genotype (G), environment (E) and GE interactions using statistics parameter i.e. AMMI stability value (ASV) and ecovalence (W2i). The trials were conducted at three locations:...
