  • Language Learning Motivation
    論説 Language Learning Motivation: A Case Study of Sri Lankan JFL Students in the University Level Udara I. de Silva 1. Introduction Individual differences（ ID） are a widely studied area in Second Language Acquisi- tion（ SLA） literature. Motivation is one such ID variable and it concerns ‘what moves a person to make certain choices, to engage in action, to expend effort and persist in action’（ Dörnyei & Ushioda, 2001:3）. Although motivation is an ID vari- able, it is affected by social, cultural and contextual factors in the learner’s environ- ment（ Ellis, 1985）, suggesting differences in the motivational dimensions of stu- dents in different settings. Dörnyei（ 1990） also contends that research should consider the social and pragmatic dimensions of motivation. Moreover, motivational dimensions found in second language（ L2） contexts may not be directly applicable to foreign language（ FL） contexts（ ibid）. This study attempts to explore the motivational dimensions of Sri Lankan uni- versity students and discusses the social, cultural and contextual background behind those motivations. Japanese has a history of more than 30 years in the Sri Lankan education system and is offered for national level qualifying exams（1） as an optional subject and in the university as a main subject. Number of students studying Japa- nese has been on the increase（2）and according to Japan Foundation（ JF）, in 2009 Sri Lanka was among the top 20 countries in terms of student number（ JF, 2009）. 言語社会 第 9 号 （19）432000 When compared to other regions, especially South Asia, Sri Lankan education system is quite unique as it offers Japanese for high school graduation/university entrance exam and passing Japanese at the above exam is made a pre-requisite to continue Jap- anese study in the university.

  • Geo-Histories of Infrastructure and Agrarian Configuration in Malanje, Angola
    Provisional Reconstructions: Geo-Histories of Infrastructure and Agrarian Configuration in Malanje, Angola By Aaron Laurence deGrassi A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael J. Watts, Chair Professor Gillian P. Hart Professor Peter B. Evans Abstract Provisional Reconstructions: Geo-Histories of Infrastructure and Agrarian Configuration in Malanje, Angola by Aaron Laurence deGrassi Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael J. Watts, Chair Fueled by a massive offshore deep-water oil boom, Angola has since the end of war in 2002 undertaken a huge, complex, and contradictory national reconstruction program whose character and dynamics have yet to be carefully studied and analyzed. What explains the patterns of such projects, who is benefitting from them, and how? The dissertation is grounded in the specific dynamics of cassava production, processing and marketing in two villages in Western Malanje Province in north central Angola. The ways in which Western Malanje’s cassava farmers’ livelihoods are shaped by transport, marketing, and an overall agrarian configuration illustrate how contemporary reconstruction – in the context of an offshore oil boom – has occurred through the specific conjunctures of multiple geo-historical processes associated with settler colonialism, protracted war, and leveraged liberalization. Such an explanation contrasts with previous more narrow emphases on elite enrichment and domination through control of external trade. Infrastructure projects are occurring as part of an agrarian configuration in which patterns of land, roads, and markets have emerged through recursive relations, and which is characterized by concentration, hierarchy and fragmentation.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 17, 2017 Accepted: May 23, 2017 Online Published: July 16, 2017 doi:10.5539/res.v9n3p106 URL: http://doi.org/10.5539/res.v9n3p106 Abstract Telenovela shapes important and highly favorite section of the television productions. The T.V. series have moved out from their traditional structure with an entertaining aspect and have been divided into different types and scopes. Taking into consideration the time and the atmosphere of dissemination which the Telenovela programs hold in T.V. antenna, there is a need to conduct studies on sociology of Telenovela more than any other times in the past. This article is an attempt to review the two subject-matters of Telenovela and Narration and their connection with democracy through sociological sporadic studies. This will also present the significance of this genre in T.V. productions at local and international discourses. Observations, field researches and library study methods have been employed in this research. Keywords: Telenovela, television, democracy, peace, education 1. Introduction Television series and basically any audio visual phenomenon will not find meaning without a narration. Roland Barthes believes that culture in a larger scale is comprised of various narrations. Myth, fable, tale, story, epic, drama, folk tale, satire, pantomime, painting, film, news, dialogue and even partial description of each subject are parts of our daily experiences of narration (Ohadi, 2012).
