Scholars have tried to connect the issues of romanticism with those of modernity since the climax of the post - modernist cultural studies. With the increasingly deep discussion of post - modernism,people happen to find that romanticism revived quietly in the so - called post - modernist aesthetic purpose and interest. It is not difficult to find in all sorts of discussions of post - modernism the trace of many problems and the thinking styles where romanticism has been involved. The seemingly same source lies in the problems of modernity, which has aroused widespread concerns from the academia. In this paper,the author believes that romantic literature focuses on portraying typical characters to express their emotional tendency. Modernity,especially aesthetic modernity,expands a new vision for us to re - examine romanticism. In other words,to study the signs of modernity from romanticism can blaze a new path for the study of modernity.展开更多

Each individual contributes to this difference as a result of his/her variation in upbringing. His/her values, beliefs, traditions, norms and standards are greatly influenced by his/her culture. Cultural differences are not only seen through tangible artifacts and daily practices, but also in the articulation of thoughts. This paper will present findings from the analysis of ＂lunch-talks＂ data involving four professional Malaysian women from the two dominant ethnic communities in Malaysia： Malay and Chinese. The ＂lunch-talks＂ are free flowing semi-formal discourse events with topics ranging from family to politics to work-related issues. Data were recorded with the informants＇ consent and are then transcribed. Our findings indicate that Malaysian women professionals are open, direct and forward in their talk as a result of the influence of cultural and religious conditioning and conditions. With higher education and wider exposure, they are also less inhibited by traditional norms. It would seem that educational exposure and the level of experience play a role in shifting Malaysian women from being demure to being more forward. Nevertheless, some remnants of traditional, cultural and religious values are interlaced within the forwardness. This study will provide some insights into the role of culture in communication. Evidence is drawn from the way the two ethnic groups perceive, interpret, and maintain respect for each other.展开更多

These modes can be written, oral, or a combination of both. The purpose of this study is to see how teacher-response, peer-response, and a combination of both in oral mode can be effective in accomplishing the learning/teaching goals of both the students and the teachers in a collaborative Iranian setting to achieve this goal, the researcher chose 60 students as the eligible members of the sample participating in this study. The participants--15 males and 45 females--were all Iranian Persian native speakers aged between 22 and 25 majoring in English translation at university level. They were assigned to three homogeneous groups based on the obtained scores on Oxford Placement Test and a sample paragraph on a given topic, emphasizing the expository genre. They covered five topics in a sequence of ten written texts--before and after receiving feedback--over a 15-week semester. All the written tasks were collected and scored analytically to track any improvement and assay the effects of different feedback sources on students＇ writing performances. The results revealed that： First, oral feedback had a significant effect on students＇ revised drafts and students incorporated the comments provided by the teacher, peers, or both in the process of draft editing; Second, of the three feedback sources the students benefited from teacher＇s feedback more than peers＇ feedback; and finally, the collaborative oral feedback model had a significant effect on students＇ writing. In addition, this method provided a practical foreign-language-learning experience for the Iranian students to share their common linguistic goals and gave a new sense to collaborative learning tasks in EFL writing classes.展开更多

文摘Based on the romantic literary theory,this paper studies the signs of the modern romantic literature. Scholars have tried to connect the issues of romanticism with those of modernity since the climax of the post - modernist cultural studies. With the increasingly deep discussion of post - modernism,people happen to find that romanticism revived quietly in the so - called post - modernist aesthetic purpose and interest. It is not difficult to find in all sorts of discussions of post - modernism the trace of many problems and the thinking styles where romanticism has been involved. The seemingly same source lies in the problems of modernity, which has aroused widespread concerns from the academia. In this paper,the author believes that romantic literature focuses on portraying typical characters to express their emotional tendency. Modernity,especially aesthetic modernity,expands a new vision for us to re - examine romanticism. In other words,to study the signs of modernity from romanticism can blaze a new path for the study of modernity.
