The present study is a follow-up study of Çakir (2016b) which focused on the wh- adverbial & which NP constructions asymmetry within island structures in Turkish. The Wh- Adverbial & Which-NP Construction Asymmetry within Island Structures in Turkish It is designed for a first-year college physics class however, its key points can be addressed to any group of physics students.
Thus, this paper presents an outline of a lesson that focuses on prefix recognition. I noticed in my teaching practice that by making the processes of identifying prefixes more explicit, students make fewer mistakes on unit conversion. For example, readers of an AP Physics exam reported "a common mistake of incorrectly converting nanometers to meters." Similar students' mistakes were reported also by AP Chemistry readers "as in previous years, students still had difficulty converting kJ to J." While traditional teaching focuses on memorizing the symbols of prefixes, little attention is given to helping learners recognize a prefix in a given quantity. This deficiency surfaces in AP Physics exams. Recognizing Prefixes in Scientific QuantitiesĪlthough recognizing prefixes in physical quantities is inherent for practitioners, it might not be inherent for students, who do not use prefixes in their everyday life experiences.
And the results show that at different learning stages Non-English majors use all kinds of adverbial conjuncts, but their occurrence frequencies are quite different, the enumerative adverbials are… Examining the development of adverbial "prepositional infinitive" constructions in Spanish, Portuguese and…Ī Study on the Developmental Characteristics of Adverbial Conjuncts by Chinese Non-English Majorsīased on the Chinese Learner English Corpus, the present study seeks to investigate the developmental characteristics of the use of adverbial conjuncts. It is cross-linguistically common for languages to undergo a diachronic increase in the range of adverbial notions that can be expressed by means of infinitival constructions, and the Romance languages are a good example of this process. What Causes Adverbial Infinitives to Spread? Evidence from Romance Results indicate a significant decline in processing adverbial conjuncts in the elderly, due to a deficit in linguistic processing rather than a… Young, middle-aged, and elderly adults, matched for education level, were studied.
