yet another problem of demotivated teachers

problem tree

dr teoh..thank you

A class of all teachers....i'm here to learn...am in awe!!

Dear Readers, I am making progress with my reading. I now know what has demotivated me..The first journal article that i read was written by Dr Stephen F. Culhane, PacCALL (The Pacific Association for Computer Assisted Language Learning) president...he is the Man when it comes to CALL and SLA. His writing is rather complex as he is very knowledgeable. Anyway when i look at other journals, they are readable..They could easily be understood. I've briefly read three articles so far..1)An Intercultural Interaction Model : Acculturation Attitudes in Second Language Acquisition by Stephen F. Culhane, 2) Attitudes of jordanian college students towards learning english by Abu-Melhim, Abdel-Rahman 3)Cultural Adaptation On Efl Reading Comprehension English Language Essay, dont remember who the author is...wish me luck...
