Results of a Study using the Motivation Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) in an Introductory Engineering Graphics CourseAaron C. Clark1 Jeremy V. Ernst2 Alice Y. Scales3Abstract – This paper will present data related to a study conducted at NC State University in the spring of 2008 that focused on student motivation in an introductory graphics course. This study conducted a motivation and learning assessment using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) Attitude Survey. The motivational portion of MSLQ focuses on six areas associated with student learning and motivation. These areas were intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, task value, control of learning beliefs, self-efficacy learning performance, and test anxiety. Findings from the study included the identification of enduring motivational factors for learning graphics education. Insights into the strategic learning process of students in a graphics education course will be discussed. Also, areas of concern for future pedagogical development and course improvement will be highlighted.Keywords: MSLQ, Introductory Graphics Course,I NTRODUCTIONMany motivational processes are responsive to individual properties associated with tasks, the classroom, or the context within student engagement [Wolters & Pintrich, 11]. Literature on student motivation identifies many beliefs and constructs, but control, competence, and self-regulated strategic learning remain chief among them [Shell & Husman, 9]. Internal pressures also serve as strong motivators in adult learners [Knowles, Holton, & Swanson, 4, pp. 64-66]. An attitude of self-determination resides at the nucleus of intrinsic motivation [Johari & Bradshaw, 5]. This self-determined attitude is primarily a result of feeling competent and/or independent. In adults, feelings of intellectual competence can be highly motivational when paired with internal pressures that serve as a driving force. Self-determination theory research has placed a large amount of attention on, not only intrinsic motivation, but also extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation refers to “engaging in an activity to obtain an outcome separable from the activity itself” [Vansteenkiste, Timmermans, Lens, Soenens, & Van den Broeck, 10, pp. 388]. A study conducted by Bye, Pushkar, & Conway [2] at Concordia University identifies intrinsic motivation as a predictor of positive classroom effect, while self-improvement and personal growth were found to be highly valued in comparison with extrinsic goals, further distinguishing between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.1 NC State University, Box 7801, Raleigh, NC 27695-7801, aaron_clark@2 NC State University, Box 7801, Raleigh, NC 27695-7801, jeremy_ernst@3 NC State University, Box 7801, Raleigh, NC 27695-7801, alice_scales@Student motivation possesses a value component involving students’ goals and beliefs about the importance of a task or their personal interest in an application. Motivational value has been conceptualized through various approaches (e.g., learning vs. performance goals, intrinsic vs. extrinsic orientation, task value, and intrinsic interest); this motivational component effectively concerns students' motives for the completion of a task [Pintrich & De Groot, 8]. Beyond beliefs pertaining to importance and interest is self-efficacy. Students’ perceived self-efficacy might influence the process by which he or she selects activities to participate in or complete. There are many circumstances where students assume and perform activities they deem themselves capable of successfully completing and avoid those they believe exceed their ability [Yang, 12]. This paper will examine the results of a study conducted at North Carolina State University that looked at the type of motivation exhibited by students taking an introductory engineering class.M OTIVATED S TRATEGIES FOR L EARNING Q UESTIONNAIRET he Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) is an instrument designed to evaluate “college students’ motivational orientation and use of different learning strategies for a college course” [Pintrich, Smith, Garcia, and McKeachie, 8]. The broad cognitive analysis of motivation and learning strategy, paired with the social cognitive view of motivation and self-regulated learning, serves as the foundation of MSLQ. The MSLQ consists of two major sections: a motivation section and a learning strategies section. The motivation segment has 31 items that evaluate students’ goals and value beliefs, students’ beliefs about skills necessary to succeed, and test anxiety associated with a specific course [Duncan & McKeachie, 3]. Duncan & McKeachie further differentiate the learning strategy section of the MSLQ as identifying students’ use of different cognitiv e and metacognitive strategies as well as student management of resources. The motivation section and the learning strategies section of the MSLQ include 81 items. Each item is rated using a 7-point Likert-type scale. The rating scale ranges from one (not at all true of me) to seven (very true of me).Pintrich, Smith, Garcia, & McKeachie [8] describe the motivation scales of the MSLQ as vehicles to acquire information associated with value, expectancy, and affect. Value assists in exploring intrinsic and extrinsic goal orientation, expectancy targets beliefs about learning and self-efficacy, and affect gauges test anxiety. Learning strategies investigated through the motivation scales are drawn from a broad compilation of cognitive research representing cognitive processing and its affect on student learning [Lynch, 6].Numerous MSLQ studies have been conducted that present evidence of internal consistency, reliability, and predictive validity of the instrument [Pintrich, Smith, Garcia, & McKeachie, 8; Artino, 1; Duncan & McKeachie, 3]. The MSLQ represents a method to accurately and holistically gage student motivation and self-regulated learning grounded by a theoretical basis. The MSLQ allows student learning researchers to move beyond traditional examinations of individual differences in learning styles to gain insight into the motivation and learning specifically occurring in a targeted college course. In this investigation, an introductory engineering graphics course wasselected to investigate intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, task value, control of learning beliefs, self-efficacy learning performance, and test anxiety with the MSLQ Attitude Survey.M ETHODOLOGYThis targeted investigation utilized the results of 31 motivational questions MSLQ Attitude Survey to examine six proposed null hypotheses concerning motivation and satisfaction of student learning. These null hypotheses were: 1) Ho: Student intrinsic goal orientation elements are independent components of motivation and learning. 2) Ho: Student extrinsic goal orientation elements are independent components of motivation and learning. 3) Ho: Student task value elements are independent components of motivation and learning. 4) Ho: Student controls of learning beliefs are independent components of motivation and learning. 5) Ho: Student self-efficacy and learning performance elements are independent components of motivation and learning. 6) Ho: Student test anxiety elements are independent components of motivation and learning.These hypotheses guided the motivation and learning investigation utilizing the MSLQ Attitude Survey as the means for data acquisition. Specifically, the six hypotheses structure the investigation to identify enduring motivational factors for learning graphics in the introductory engineering graphics course at NC State University.To better gauge indicators of student attitude and motivation, the MSLQ data analysis was shortened. As prescribed by Matthews [7] to solely measure motivation concerning goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, task value, control of learning beliefs, self-efficacy learning performance, and test anxiety, the MSLQ analysis was limited to 31 questions specifically targeted to student motivation. Additionally, Matthews identified the MSLQ item equivalent subsets to provide a targeted analysis of the six focal areas associated with student learning and motivation.In the 10th week of the 2008 spring semester the course instructors administered the MSLQ instrument to student participants in the introductory engineering graphics course. The questionnaire took the participants approximately 15 minutes to complete. One hundred and sixty one students in seven separate sections of GC 120 (Foundations of Graphics) completed and returned the instrument. One of the 161 participants failed to complete items 24 and 29 of the targeted subgroup analysis, but the researchers decided to include this questionnaire in the completed group. The researchers gathered the completed instruments from the course instructors, entered the MSLQ data, tabulated the questionnaire results, analyzed the target items, and formed conclusions based on the six identified student learning and motivation areas.R ESULTSThe proposed hypotheses were evaluated using a one-sample calculation of variance. The test of independence tabulates MSLQ instrument items in their designated categories and computes a chi-square value. This procedure uses the critical value to evaluate the proportional value derived from the Chi-Square table. A significant p-value foran item in a category demonstrates that it is independent of the other items and, therefore, has no relationship to the other items in its category or the category itself.The identified MSLQ item equivalents to investigate intrinsic goal orientation were 1, 16, 22, and 24 (See Table 1). Within the item equivalents that measured intrinsic goal orientation, item 16 had the highest average, while item 24 had the lowest. As a group, the intrinsic goal orientation items averaged 4.68 on the seven-point scale. The sampling variance, reported in the data summations, was due to a statistical fluctuation in the responses on intrinsic goal orientation sub grouped items identified in the six student learning and motivation areas. Additionally, evaluation of the chi-square statistic and the proportional value associated with each item identified all four MSLQ items within their student learning and motivation area as significantly different from one another, given the predetermined alpha level of significance (0.05). Items 1, 16, 22, and 24 all had p-values smaller than 0.05, therefore the null hypothesis that intrinsic goal orientation elements are independent components of motivation and learning could not be rejected because there is evidence that the questions were independent of the category and each other by virtue of their significant p-values.Table 1. MSLQ Intrinsic Goal OrientationThe identified item equivalents to investigate extrinsic goal orientation were MSLQ items 7, 11, 13, and 30 (See Table 2). Within the item equivalents of extrinsic goal orientation, item 13 had the highest average, while item 30 had the lowest. As a group, the extrinsic goal orientation items averaged 5.35 on the seven-point scale. Additionally, reporting and evaluation of the chi-square statistic and the proportional value associated with each item identified three of the four items were significantly different from one another. Item 13 was found not to significantly differ within the subgroup. Items 7, 11, and 30 all had a p-value smaller than 0.05, therefore, the null hypothesis that statedthat extrinsic goal orientation elements are independent components of motivation and learning also failed to be rejected.Table 2. MSLQ Extrinsic Goal OrientationThe identified item equivalents to investigate task value were MSLQ items 4, 10, 17, 23, 26, and 27 (See Table 3). Within the item equivalents for task value, the six items provide participant averages relatively close to one another. As a group, the task value items averaged a 5.16 on the seven-point scale. The sampling variance again was due to a statistical fluctuation in participant responses on the task value sub grouped items. Likewise, reporting and evaluation of the chi-square statistic and the proportional value associated with each item identified all six of the MSLQ items within their student learning and motivation area as significantly different from each other. The p-values for items 4, 10, 17, 23, 26, and 27 were all lower than the established cut-off value of 0.05, therefore, the null hypothesis that stated that task value elements are independent components of motivation and learning could not be rejected.Table 3. MSLQ Task ValueThe identified item equivalents that examined control of learning beliefs were MSLQ items 2, 9, 18, and 25 (See Table 4). Within the item equivalents of control of learning beliefs, item 18 had the highest average while item 25 had the lowest. As a group, the control of learning beliefs items averaged 5.62. The sampling variance was due to the variation in the participants’ responses on control of learning beliefs sub grouped items identified within the six student learning and motivation areas. The reporting and evaluation of the chi-square statistic, and the proportional value associated with each item, identified three of the four MSLQ items within their student learning and motivation area as significantly different from one another, given the predetermined alpha level of significance (0.05). Item 18 was found not to differ within the response subgroup. Items 2, 9, and 25 had a p-value lower than the critical value of 0.05, therefore, again the results failed to reject the null hypothesis that control of learning beliefs is an independent component of motivation and learning.Table 4. MSLQ Control of Learning BeliefsThe identified item equivalents to investigate self-efficacy learning performance are MSLQ items 5, 6, 12, 15, 20, 21, 29 and 31 (See Table 5). Within the item equivalents of self-efficacy learning performance, the eight items present participant averages relatively close to one another. As a group, the self-efficacy learning performance items averaged a 5.47 on a seven-point scale. The sampling variance again is due to the statistical fluctuation in participant response on this sub group of items. Additionally, the evaluation of the chi-square statistic and the proportional value associated with each item identified six of the eight MSLQ items within their student learning and motivation area as significantly differing from one another based on the predetermined alpha level of significance (0.05). Items 20 and 21 were found not to significantly differ within the response subgroup; however, items 5, 6, 12, 15, 29 and 31 were lower than the critical p-value set at 0.05; therefore, it was not possible to reject the null hypothesis that self-efficacy and learning performance are independent components of motivation and learning.Table 5. MSLQ Self-Efficacy Learning PerformanceThe identified item equivalents to investigate test anxiety are MSLQ items 3, 8, 14, 19, and 28 (See Table 6). Within the items used to examine test anxiety, item 14 had the highest average while item 3 had the lowest. As a group, the task value items averaged 3.74 on the seven-point scale. The sampling variance was again due to the fluctuation in participants’ responses. Evaluation of t he chi-square statistic and the proportional value associated with each item indicated that all five of the MSLQ items significantly differed from each other and were smaller than the predetermined value for significance. Since items 3, 8, 14, 19, and 28 were not found to be significant, the null hypothesis that test anxiety is an independent component of motivation and learning failed to be rejected.Table 6. MSLQ Test AnxietyC ONCLUSIONSItem 13 (“If I can, I want to get better grades in this class than most of the other students”); in the Extrinsic Goal Orientation subgroup, item 18 (“If I try hard enough, then I will understand the course materials”); in the Control of Learning Beliefs subgroup, item 20 (“I’m confident I can do an excellent job on the assignments and test in this course”) and item 21 (“I expect to do well in this class”) of the Self-Efficacy Learning Performance subgroup were identified by the study as continuing motivational and learning factors for learning engineering graphics in the introductory engineering graphics course at NC State University. Considering the fact that these statements “standout” among the others and that each in some way is associated with the level of understanding and the grade they wish to receive in class, grades are still a good motivation factor to consider with these participants. The ability to do well and see relevance in what is being taugh t is also paramount to a student’s motivation in a course, like a fundamentals of engineering graphics. From the data collected for this study, it can be observed that grades, relevance of content, and understanding subject matter are the main factors tha t affect students’ motivation. Based on these findings, more research in areas of strategic learning of students in engineering graphics courses as it relates to their abilities to be self-motivated needs to be conducted, particularly as the structure and delivery methods of engineering graphics courses are rapidly changing. Also, considering the change and growth of new areas and concepts in the engineering graphics profession, how can we utilize contemporary methods to increase student motivation? Again, more investigation is needed in this area of student motivation as the profession works to educate future professionals that use graphics for the 21st century.R EFERENCES[1] Artino, A.R.

关于学习策略的报告英语作文
关于学习策略的报告英语作文Title: Exploring Effective Learning Strategies.In the ever-evolving academic landscape, the importance of effective learning strategies cannot be overstated. These strategies not only enhance academic performance but also foster a life-long passion for learning. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of learning strategies, discussing their significance, types, and practical applications.Firstly, let's delve into the significance of learning strategies. In today's fast-paced world, the traditional rote learning method is becoming increasingly outdated. Instead, students need to adopt innovative strategies that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability. Effective learning strategies help students retain information better, improve their comprehension skills, and enhance their motivation to learn. Furthermore, they empower students to become independent learners, ableto navigate new concepts and challenges with confidence.Next, let's explore the various types of learning strategies.1. Active Learning: This strategy involves actively engaging with the material, rather than passively absorbing it. Techniques such as taking notes, summarizing, and discussing concepts with peers foster active learning. By actively participating in the learning process, students are more likely to retain and understand the information.2. Distributed Learning: This strategy advocates spacing out learning over time, rather than cramming all the information in one sitting. By spacing out learning sessions, students give their brains time to process and consolidate information, leading to better retention and comprehension.3. Elaboration: This strategy encourages students to connect new information with what they already know. By making connections and building upon existing knowledge,students are able to understand and remember new concepts more easily.4. Interleaved Practice: This strategy involves mixing up different types of problems or skills during practice sessions. By alternating between different tasks, students are able to generalize their learning and apply it to a wider range of situations.5. Retrieval Practice: This strategy involves retrieving information from memory through quizzes, tests, or self-quizzing. By retrieving information, students are able to巩固 their understanding and identify areas where they need to focus their learning efforts.Now, let's discuss the practical applications of these learning strategies.In the classroom, teachers can incorporate active learning techniques such as group discussions, role-plays, and project-based learning. These techniques encourage students to actively engage with the material, improvingtheir comprehension and motivation to learn. Additionally, teachers can utilize distributed learning by spacing out assignments and assessments over the course of the semester, giving students time to process and consolidate information.Outside the classroom, students can utilize elaboration by connecting new information to their existing knowledge. For example, when learning about a new scientific concept, students can try to connect it to real-world examples or their previous experiences. This will help them understand and remember the concept better.Interleaved practice can be applied when studying for exams or learning new skills. Instead of focusing on one topic or skill at a time, students can alternate between different topics or skills during their practice sessions. This will help them generalize their learning and apply itto a wider range of situations.Finally, retrieval practice can be used on a daily basis. Students can quiz themselves on the material they have learned, identifying areas where they need to focustheir attention. This will help them consolidate their understanding and improve their retention of information.In conclusion, effective learning strategies are crucial for academic success and personal growth. By adopting strategies such as active learning, distributed learning, elaboration, interleaved practice, and retrieval practice, students can enhance their comprehension, retention, and motivation to learn. Teachers and students alike should experiment with different strategies to find the ones that work best for them, fostering a life-long passion for learning.。

【听力】Conversation 1M: Welcome to Money Matters - a weekly program that helps you manage your money. Tonight, I'll be talking to Mary Johnson about budgeting.W: Hello, everyone.M: There's a magic about money, when it's not planned for, tracked and kept the record of, it literally disappears.What are some of the steps we can take to prevent this from happening?W: Well, it's all about keeping track of your money.If you don't do that, you'll never be able to set any goals for your budget or have the discipline to stick to them.M: That's easier said than done. I read recently that only 41% of Americans adhere to a budget.W: Yes, but knowing what you earn and what you spend can give you reassurance that you won't get into debt in the first place. You can do this by adding up all of your sources of income you have, and writing them all down on a piece of paper. On the same page, write down all of your monthly expenses.M: I'm always amazed at how much my expenses add up.But designating each item asan income or an expense really helps me have a much better sense of all my spending. W: Right. Most people have no idea how much they spend each day, let alone each week or month, no matter how careful they are. Next, subtract your monthly expenses from income. If the result is positive, you are living within your means. If the result is a negative number, you're going to have to cut back on your spending.M: I'm usually a negative number. I just can't resist the allure of all those prestigious goods.W: Well, it's not a catastrophe, but you do have to make some changes. Try cutting back on those non-essential items, sell some stuff in your attic or shop online to avoid unnecessary temptations like chocolate. Failing that you can always find yourself a part-time job.Q1: What does the man say about the weekly program?Q2: What did the man read recently?Q3: What does the woman suggest the man do first to avoid getting into debt?Q4: What does the woman say about online shopping?Conversation 2M: Hi there. I've come to see the flat. My name is Mark Adams. We spoke on the phone on Wednesday.W: Hi Mark. Come on up. I'll buzz you in green door, on the second floor on the right side. Nice to meet you. I spoke to all your references and they all checked out Okay.So let me show you around the place actually belongs to my mother, but her health isn't great. So we finally managed to persuade her to move in with us and rent this old place out.M：It's a great size, plenty of space, very versatile. I think it's a winner for us.W: Yes. All the appliances are brand new. There's a washing machine and a tumble dryer in the utility room next to the kitchen.M: Lots of closet space two, which is fabulous. My wife has a ridiculous number of shoes. Now, the big question What about noise and the neighbors?W: Well, all the neighbors are elderly, so no noisy kids and the back of the house overlooks a clear and peaceful pond. So it's perfect. If tranquility is what you are looking for.M: That's good news. We've been living in a less than glamorous part of Aberdeen, constantly harassed day and night by noisy neighbors. Getting to work was a nightmare too. As we only have one car. And my wife has to use it as she works nights at the hospital.W: Well, if you like the place it's yours. As soon as I get a contract drawn up with the solicitor, the first month's rent and a deposit are mandatory on signing the contract, then we can work out when is the best day for you to pay rent each month? M: We'll be incredibly happy to be your new tenants. Thank you so much. My wife will be thrilled to get out of the shabby place we are now in and start filling those wardrobes with all those shoes.Q5: What does the woman say about the flat question six?Q6: What is the man's chief consideration in looking for a flat?Q7: What does the man have to do on signing the contract?Q8: Why does the man say his wife will feel very excited if they move into the flat?Passage 1A new study has found a positive correlation between how much television children watch and their parents stress levels. Why? Because the more television kids watch, the more they're exposed to advertising .The more advertising they see, the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items when they go with their parents to the store.This could generate conflict if the parents refuse. All that researchers say can contribute to parents overall stress levels. What's the solution ? Perhaps the most obvious is curtailing screen time.Commercial content is there for a reason :to elicit purchasing behavior, so parents might want to shut off the TV. Researchers can see that this is easier said than done. So they suggest another option. Parents can change how they talk to their kids about purchases. The researchers suggest that parents seek input from their children on family purchasing decisions.They shouldn't try to control all purchases. Instead, parents might tell their children things like: I will listen to your advice on certain products or brands. This type of communication, the researchers assert, can lead to children, making fewer purchasing demands- that means less parent stress. However,the protective effect of this kind of communication diminishes with greater exposure to television. This is because advertising aimed at children is especially persuasive. Advertisers use an assortment of tactics, such as bright colors, happy music and celebrity endorsements to appeal to children. Plus children don't have the cognitive ability to fully understand advertising's intent that makes them particularly vulnerable to advertisements.Q9: What has the new study found about children watching television?Q10:What are parents advised to do to reduce the impact of TV commercials?Q11: What makes children particularly vulnerable to TV commercials?Passage 2Everyone is supposed to cheer for good guys. And we should only punish the bad guys, but that's not what we always do. Most of the time we do indeed reward good people. We also often punish people who harm others or who aren't good team players, but sometimes the good guys also get punished or criticized specifically because they are so good. This seems baffling because it's detrimental to group cooperation. However, the phenomenon has been discovered in multiple fields and it has been found in every society. Why does this happen? Research suggests a simple reason when one person looks really good, others look bad by comparison. Those others then have an incentive in stopping that person from looking good, especially if they can't or won't compete. After all, we're all judged in comparison with others. When facedwith someone better, what can a normal person do? One option is to actively compete.A second option is to bring that person down that is to suppress their cooperation or work ethic, and first selfish motives for their actions or imply real or imagined hypocrisy. Other tactics include attacking them on unrelated dimensions or punishing them outright. Why does this matter? Critics often attack the motives of people who protect the environment, donate money or work too hard. Such good deeds are dismissed as naive or hypocritical by those who do not perform those deeds. This criticism may ultimately discourage people from doing good deeds.so it's important to recognize these attacks for what they are.Q12: What baffling phenomenon is discussed in the passage?Q13: How are we all judged according to the passage?Q14: What can a normal person do when faced with people who perform better?Q15: what may discourage people from performing good deeds?Lecture 1 雪萱In America, most researchers can see that boys and girls are brought up in different ways, taught different skills and rewarded for different acts. Women, it is agreed excel at certain tasks, men at others. There is little argument that some personality traits appear more dominant in one sex than in the other.All of this, not withstanding, gender differences are very much in the media these days. Since the rise of the women's movement, gender role behavior has come under closer scrutiny. How has this affected friendship? How do the sexes differ in theirfriendship relations? Most preteen children have a best friend who is usually some one of the same sex and similar age.Both sexes share an essentially positive recollection of these childhood friendships, they do not differ in this respect. However, the type of play engaged in during these early friendships is telling of the difference to come. Boys tend to form playgroups that are competitive in nature. Girls groups more frequently revolve around cooperative enterprises. Thus at an early age, boys become concerned with trying hard and winning, while girls by contrast play house and school, engaging in roles that require complimentary support. Speaking of their childhood, men recall being highly responsive to and aware of the gender role opinions of other boys. Girls in preteen years appear to be less susceptible to gender role pressure. It is not until the dating years that women report being concerned with feminine behavior. Males for the most part are responsive to the suggestion that their behavior is unmanly at almost any age. These early attitudes reinforced by social conditioning continue to play an active part in the friendships of both sexes during adolescence. This is a period when the majority of males, once again, report a close Alliance with same sex friends.Now, however, with heightened intensity, considerable energy is devoted to competing for position and a definite undercurrent of competition permeates the relationship. Although in dissimilar fashion, females share equally fragile relationships at this age. For them, the bond of loyalty extends only to the line of romantic involvement.This is most apt to be the case in late adolescence when dating and relationships with boys take sharp precedence over sisterhood. Actually dating dilutes the intensity of samesex friendships for men also. For the majority of us, the moment we begin to date seriously, there's a competition between romance and friendship.Q16: What does the speaker say about most preteen children?Q17: What do most males devote much of their energy to during adolescence?Q18: What do children do when they reach late adolescence?Lecture 2Good afternoon. In today's lecture, we'll be talking about how and when to disclose a disability when applying for a job. On average, about 20% of the population has some form of disability. Most countries these days have equal opportunity and non-discrimination laws, yet disabled people often find it hard to decide when, how, and if at all to raise their disability problem with a potential employer. There is uncertainty about how a recruiter will perceive their disability as such many candidates fear they wouldn't be considered for a position as a result of disclosing this personal information. And research has validated this as a genuine concern for many job applicants. It’s a natural reaction, but it shouldn't be a reason to stay quiet. People need to remember that they are applying for a position they have the skills and experience to.Discussing a disability with a potential employer may help them make reasonable workplace adjustments in their favor. It's most appropriate to discuss a disabilitywhen they reply to confirm an interview, this information needed to be put up front in their cover letter or resume. because it's probably not relevant to the position itself. Candidates with disabilities should feel they have the power to make their own decisions around sharing this information free from prejudice. If they find an organization that doesn't celebrate diversity and inclusion, it could say a lot about the company's culture, perhaps the organization isn't the right fit. It's important for them to. remember That they are seeking a manager, an employer that's going to be supportive and continue to give them a great employment experience. Companies sometimes offer candidates the chance to disclose disabilities on their application form, but people shouldn't feel restricted by this method or timing. People should avoid sharing the name of their disability or condition. There is always the risk that the recruiter will research inform that is inaccurate or irrelevant. If people don't think their disability will impact their ability to perform in the advertised position, then it's entirely their entitlement to choose when and whether to share this information.Q19: Why do disabled job applicants feel reluctant to disclose their disability information?Q20: When does the speaker suggest applicants reveal their disability information? Q21: What are people advised to do when filling out their job application form?Lecture 3Smartphones Distract attention and reduce learning because of their potential to offer activities more inviting than study.But what about background sound alone?A group of American researchers compared students' comprehension of verbal material when reading in the presence of background speech, instrumental music or general noise.General noise is neutral such as that from the sound of an air conditioner or fan. Student scores were most depressed in the presence of background speech. Comprehension was slightly better with the presence of music than with speech. However, when they were asked to identify melodies rather than understand text background music interfered more. When the background speech was in a language unfamiliar to participants, there was little, if any hindrance of reading comprehension.British researchers compared the effects of background speech, vocal music, instrumental music, general background noise and silence on short term memory. Background speech had the biggest negative effect. Vocal music was slightly more disruptive than instrumental.In general background noise and silence were least disrupt.It seems the degree of interference from background noise depends on the overlap between the processing required on the task and the processing required to screen out the background noise.The studies suggest that when people read and when they try to remember any verbal material, background speech will inhibit their ability.Instrumental music will have at worst a slight effect.When students write essays, however,other research has found it is best to reduce all background noise as much as possible.Not everyone reacts in the same way to distractions.Other studies suggest some aspects of personality may make a difference.The researchers subjected shy, quiet people and confident, outgoing ones to high arousal or low arousal background music, general noise or silence while asking them to remember words.Everyone performed best in the silent condition, but less sociable people were more negatively affected by each of the distractions.So when children are reading and trying to incorporate new material, parents could consider allowing some background music, particularly if it is instrumental and their child is the outgoing type.Q22: What did some American researchers find about students reading comprehension in the presence of background noise?Q23: What do we learn from the British researchers about the degree of interference from background noise?Q24: What is best for students to do when writing essays according to some research?Q25: How do people of different personalities react to distractions according to other studies?听力参考答案1.C) It helps people with budgeting.2.D) Most Americans do not stick to a budget.3.A) Keep track of his money.4.B) It helps avoid unnecessary spending.5.C) It belongs to her mother.6.B) Tranquility.7.B) Pay the first month's rent and a deposit.8.D) She will have plenty of space for her shoes.9.

学习策略在英语学习过程中的重要性作文Title: The Indispensable Role of Learning Strategies in the English Language Acquisition ProcessMastering a foreign language, particularly English, which has become the global lingua franca, is a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. Success in this pursuit is not solely dependent on innate talent or sheer determination; rather, it is significantly influenced by the effective application of well-designed learning strategies. This essay underscores the crucial importance of learning strategies in the English language learning process, highlighting how they enhance comprehension, foster autonomous learning, facilitate progress monitoring, and promote long-term retention.Enhancing ComprehensionEffective learning strategies enable learners to break down complex language concepts into manageable components, thereby enhancing understanding and retention. For instance, the useof chunking, dividing lengthy sentences or texts into smaller, meaningful segments, simplifies the learning process and aids in grasping the overall structure and meaning. Mnemonicdevices like acronyms or rhymes aid in remembering vocabulary and grammatical rules. Additionally, metacognitivestrategies such as self-questioning and summarizing encourage learners to actively engage with the material, critically reflect on their understanding, and identify gaps in knowledge.Fostering Autonomous LearningLearning strategies empower learners to take control of their own learning process, promoting self-directedness and independence. Goal-setting helps learners define specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives, providing a clear roadmap for their language learning journey. Self-monitoring encourages regular reflection on progress, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and adjusting study plans accordingly. Furthermore, self-evaluation through quizzes, tests, or peer feedback enables learners to assess their proficiency levels objectively. By cultivating autonomy, learners develop resilience, adaptability, and a lifelong learning mindset essential for continuous language improvement.Facilitating Progress MonitoringWell-devised learning strategies provide learners with tangible means to track and measure their progress, fueling motivation andperseverance. Record-keeping of new vocabulary, grammar rules, or language tasks completed serves as a visual representation of growth and accomplishment. Time-management techniques like the Pomodoro technique or the Eisenhower matrix ensure efficient use of study time and prevent burnout. Moreover, peer collaboration through study groups, language exchange partnerships, or online forums allows learners to share resources, compare progress, and offer mutual support, creating a sense of accountability and camaraderie.Promoting Long-Term RetentionLearning strategies that emphasize active recall, repetition, and contextualization are instrumental in consolidating knowledge and ensuring long-term retention. Spaced repetition schedules, such as using flashcards or language learning apps, present previously learned material at gradually increasing intervals, reinforcing memory and preventing forgetting. Contextualizedlearning through immersion in authentic English content – reading novels, watching films, or engaging in conversation with native speakers – helps learners anchor new language knowledge inreal-life situations, enhancing both comprehension and usage. Lastly, reflective journaling encourages learners to regularlyreview and consolidate what they have learned, deepening understanding and solidifying connections between different language elements.In conclusion, learning strategies play an indispensable role in the English language acquisition process. They equip learners with the tools to navigate complexities, foster self-directedness, monitor progress effectively, and ensure long-lasting retention. By integrating a diverse range of strategies tailored to their individual learning styles and goals, learners can embark on a more efficient, enjoyable, and ultimately successful journey towards mastering the English language.。

It's important to remember that fluent speakers make mistakes too; the key is to keep trying and learn from those mistakes. Additionally, recording oneself speaking and reviewing the recording for areas of improvement can be helpful.Reading Comprehension.Reading is a critical skill for enhancing vocabulary, grammar, and understanding of context. Reading books, newspapers, articles, and other materials in English can provide a wealth of information and improve reading comprehension. Active reading, where one asks questions, summarizes, and reflects on the text, is even more beneficial. Additionally, using dictionaries or looking up unfamiliar words can enhance vocabulary knowledge.Writing Skills.Writing is another crucial skill for English proficiency. It helps in expressing thoughts clearly and coherently. Regular practice is essential for improving writing skills. Starting with simple exercises like writing sentences or paragraphs and gradually progressing to more complex tasks like essays or stories is recommended. Receiving feedback on writing, whether from a teacher, friend, or online resource, can help identify areas ofimprovement. Additionally, using writing tools like grammar checkers or thesaurus can enhance writing quality.In conclusion, effective English learning requires a strategic approach, regular practice, and dedication. By focusing on vocabulary building, grammar mastery, listening comprehension, speaking confidence, reading comprehension, and writing skills, learners can achieve proficiency inthis global language. Remember, every language learner is unique, so finding the strategies that work best for you is crucial. Keep exploring, practicing, and learning, andyou'll be well on your way to mastering the language of global communication.。
strategies in learning and using a second language
strategies in learning and using a secondlanguagestrategies in learning and using a second language1. Start early: The earlier you begin learning a new language, the easier it is to become fluent. Children have a much easier time learning a new language than adults, as their brains are still developing.2. Immerse yourself: Immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. Watch TV shows, movies, and listen to music in the language you’re learning. Read books and newspapers in the language and surround yourself with native speakers.3. Practice daily: Consistency is key. Practice the language every day, even if it’s for just a few minutes. This will help you build your vocabulary and improve your grammar.6. Use a language learning app: Use apps such as Duolingo, Babbel, or Rosetta Stone to supplement your learning. These apps can help you practice your vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.7. Speak with native speakers: One of the best ways to learna new language is to speak with native speakers. Join a language conversation club or find a language partner online to practice speaking the language.8. Be patient: Learning a new language takes time and patience. Don’t get discouraged if you make mistakes or feel like you’re not progressing fas t enough. Keep practicing, and you’ll get there eventually.。

• 学好英语的关键是什么？ • 管理学习过程重要吗？ • 准确与流利哪个更重要？ • 多听、多读是否一定能学好英语？ • 母语在学习英语中的作用是什么？ • 运用翻译来学英语是否是个好方法？ • 通过上下文猜词义是否是学习单词最好的方法？
• 同等重要。

对正确性与流利性关系的认识有偏差
• 80年代以前过分强调准确性
– 学生不敢开口，哑巴英语
• 80年代以后过分强调流利性
– 短期效应，扼杀了学生语言的持续发展能力

The contention of these studies is that if poor learners can expand their repertoire of learning strategies and increase the frequency of using them, their achievement will be improved. However, the empirical studies haven’t yet yielded consistent results in support of the above assumption.

Method- subjects
subjects :364 freshmen psychology students who had
(1) trying to gain insight or deep understanding of the subject matter by actively connecting its various parts and looking for similarities and differences; (2) trying to get an overview of context, problem and materials; (3) activating prior knowledge and connect new information to existing knowledge (4) approaching the subject matter with a critical attitude by analysing the logic of conclusions and expert interpretations, and drawing one’s own conclusions.
completed the Inventory of Learning Styles (ILS)學習型態檢 核表 (Vermunt & Van Rijswijk, 1987). The actual selection of students with deep and surface learning styles was based on ILS scores. (located 41 students)

Introduction
1/3
We aim at clarifying the relationships between learning styles as expressed in questionnaires and actual study strategies we expected to encounter in ａ computer assisted study environment (CASE). According to several authors, consistency in students’ use of strategies can be attributed to their learning style.

Results-The simple model: comparison of students with deep and surface learning styles
T-test (see table 1)
Students with a deep learning style performed significantly better than students with a surface learning style on both the multiple choice and the essay post-tests.

The text to be studied was a chapter in English about Freud and his theory (c.15 000 words) from an introductory textbook on psychology (Gleitman, 1986). An electronic version of this text was displayed on a Macintosh computer with an A4 screen. The structure of the electronic version was much like that of a book: It consisted of a table of contents, 60 short text pages, and an Index, in this order.

Method-materials
Learning style inventory The Inventory of Learning Styles (Vermunt & Van Rijswijk, 1987) was used. This questionnaire consists of 120 items (in Dutch) about study habits, study motives, and learning conceptions. We used scores on two scales concerning study habits:
Deep processing :actively relating various parts of the text to one another and to prior knowledge, by organising separate topics into a whole to gain insight into the subject matter, and by a critical approach. Surface processing :step-by-step analysis of the material and reading of each part of the text thoroughly, with great attention to detail and focus on factual information, by an attempt to remember as much as possible, and by the use of study strategies like rehearsing and memorising. The learning style concept: personality characteristics, attitudes (Schmeck et al., 1991) study motives or orientations (Entwistle & Ramsden,1983; Biggs, 1984;

Introduction

Vermunt & Van Rijswijk (1987, 1988), who constructed a Dutch learning style questionnaire, made a similar distinction between surface processing and deep processing of text.
The operation learning style (called a “serialistic” or step-by-step strategy) The comprehension learning style (called a “holistic” or structuring strategy)

The Surface Processing scale contains the following components:
(1) using a linear method, working step by step (2) focusing on details, facts, definitions, and series of features; (3) working thoroughly through the subject matter, trying to study everything intensely and literally; (4) memorising by rote learning.
