- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: This descriptive study looked into Persian learners’ autonomy and its ties with in-class group dynamics. The participants were undergraduate learners and M.A. students together with their teachers. Data were collected, using a questionnaire, on the participants’ beliefs about autonomy, their autonomous behaviors, and their perceptions of group norms and group cohesiveness. Corresponding teachers, however, provided data just on their learners’ group norms and cohesiveness. Data were analyzed using a Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, a Man-Whitney U test, the Kendall’s-tau b correlation coefficient and a Kruskal-Wallis test. Results revealed that the participants’ autonomous beliefs were not much realized in their behaviors. However, the participants and their instructors had similar ideas about how cohesive their classes were. It was also found that the length of time the participants spent in the academic setting positively correlated with their autonomous behaviors and their group cohesiveness. Overall, the results suggested that a more serious approach to training both democratic L2 teachers and autonomous L2 learners should be taken in the Iranian context of education.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Problems in appropriately using the article system in English are globally known simply because they are observed in learners with different L1 backgrounds. The present study is dedicated to an investigation of the nature and degree of such problems when it comes to using articles for mass nouns by Persian-speaking learners. Data is elicited and analyzed from three proficiency groups. It is shown that even highly advanced learners do not have native-like mastery over the issue. It is also shown that L1 transfer is present in many cases of error. Explicit contrastive instruction based on the two languages is suggested as a more efficient way out. The results are also discussed within the framework of the Interpretability Hypothesis as they do not seem to support it.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: There has been considerable debate over what the sources of morphological variation in second language
acquisition are. From among various hypotheses put forth on the topic, the feature reassembly hypothesis
(Lardiere, 2005) assumes that it is the reconfiguration of features in the L2 which causes variation between
the performance of natives and non-natives. Acknowledged as one of the most difficult elements of English
grammar to be acquired by learners, the article system was the focus of the present study which aimed at
attending to the acquisition of that system by Persian learners. This descriptive piece of research focused on
how the article system functions in English and Persian, the similarities found across the two languages and
the possible sources of difficulty for Persian learners in using English articles as related to their L1. The
participants included Persian learners at three levels of grammatical knowledge. A group of English native
speakers also took part in the study. A grammaticality judgment test and a translation test were conducted to
collect data. Comparisons were made among the four groups, using ANOVAs. Based on the results, it is
argued that the observed pattern of article use among Persian speaking learners can be best accounted for by
the feature reassembly hypothesis.- انتشار مقاله: 25-03-1395
