Second language acquisition of the English article system by Turkish learners: the role of semantic notions
Atay, Zeynep; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of English Language Teaching (2010)
This thesis investigates the second language acquisition of the English article system by Turkish learners in order to find out the role of certain semantic universals of the Universal Grammar during the acquisition process. More specifically, the purpose is to see whether or not L1 Turkish learners of English fluctuate between two semantic notions namely; specificity and definiteness, and the effect of this fluctuation on acquisition. 120 students from three groups of learners at different proficiency leve...
Third graders generalizations about even numbers and odd numbers The impact of an early algebra intervention
İşler Baykal, Işıl; Murphy Gardiner, Angela; Knuth, Eric; Blanton, Maria (2013-11-14)
Third-grade students are participating in a classroom experiment investigating the impact of instruction derived from a research-based Early Algebra Learning Progression. Students completed a pre-assessment item addressing their abilities to justify a conjecture about the sum of three odd numbers. While they were largely unsuccessful on the assessment, through the course of the classroom intervention students are beginning to develop representation-based arguments and provide generalizations using facts abo...
Second Language Vocabulary Learning From Context Clues: A Review of Research in the Past Decade and Implementation in Digital Environment
Yu, Xiaoli (1, 2018-01-01)
This article reviews empirical studies from the past decade in learning second language (L2) vocabulary from context clues. Previous studies conclude that guessing unknown words from context clues is not an effective vocabulary learning strategy. Rather, it should be employed as a complementary approach. In alignment with this standpoint, review of the most recent empirical studies reveals that merely relying on context clues does not lead to the most effective L2 vocabulary learning. The learning result hi...
Third-harmonic generation in a quantum well with adjustable asymmetry under an electric field
Yildirim, H.; Tomak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2006-12-01)
We study third-harmonic generation in a quantum well represented by a Poschl-Teller confining potential under an applied electric field. This potential is well suited for such purposes as it can easily become asymmetrical by a correct choice of its parameter set. We calculate the third harmonic generation within the density matrix formalism. Numerical results for a typical GaAs quantum well are presented. We investigate the third-harmonic generation for several values of asymmetry parameters under small ele...
Third-Person Effect In Violent Video Games
Bulut, İbrahim Hakkı; Bakay, Şenol; Delialioğlu, Ömer (2013-7-01-03)
A sample of 49 individuals participated to examine the third-person effects in violent video games. A self-report questionnaire was conducted to measure the perceived influence of participants regarding violent video games. Social distance and exposure concepts that try to explain third-person effect is analyzed to understand to what extent these concepts are effective to explain the perceived effect of participants.
