According to Miyake's [1] integrated and unique perspective, Executive Functions are a set of comparable and different processes that aid humans in self-regulation, emotions, and behavior for the goal of Special assistance. Flavell [2] Characterized self-regulation as metacognitive awareness, and Dornyei [3] called for an emphasis on psychological perspectives in language learning. The goal of this study was to investigate if there was a link between executive function impairments, reading comprehension, and vocabulary development, as well as whether self-regulatory strategies mediated the association. 200 Iranian EFL university students were chosen in this regard. Simple random sampling was utilized on a population of 1200 participants. Students were asked to complete a Wang &Bai [4] self-regulatory strategy questioner as well as a Barkley [5] questioner of brain executive function deficit and also studied seven pieces of reading comprehension and about 500 vocabularies during the course. A descriptive form of correlation was used as the study design. The data were interpreted using structural equation modeling. The research model's factor structure was acceptable, and the research model is well-fitting. According to the study's findings, there is a 0. 01 connection between research variables. When improving vocabulary and reading comprehension abilities, various executive functions of the brain should be considered, and these differences can be enhanced by using English language learning strategies.

Ctesias (Greek: Κ τ η σ ί α ς ), a physician at the Achaemenid royal court in Artaxerxes II era, was also interested in history along with his profession, and was able to gain access to archived data in the Treasury of the Persian Archives, and wrote at least two of his three famous books, Assyrica and Persica. Although the originals of his books have disappeared, the basic themes of his works remained in the writings of other authors after him. These data have received little attention from current academic researchers, and even they were considered an absolute and sometimes relative mythological perspective in most cases. In this paper, the recognition of data, identification of the Assyrian rulers and part of the Medes in the Ctesias' report are reviewed, and finally, a chronology of the data is presented based on the temporal, spatial, field, and identity congruence between Ctesias' and field's data.

The condition of women in England has changed over centuries and it is possible to say that their situation has become better. This paper aims to demonstrate how women are viewed in the 17th and 18th century based on a poem by Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress", and Jonathan Swift's “ The Lady’ s Dressing Room” . In the 17th century, women did not have the liberty to live the life they want and had little freedom over their lives. The view toward them is shown in Marvell's poem: they are seen as mere objects over which men have complete power and are allowed to treat them as they please. Whereas, in the 18th century, as there is a rise of individualism, they gain more freedom, as is illustrated by Swift's poem that a woman is seen as a human being, not as mere saints or sinners. It is thus concluded that the conditions of women and how they are portrayed have evolved from the 17th century to the 18th century.

The present paper shows the strong relation between Persian language with Indian languages such as: Gujarati, Marathi and Punjabi. First: short history of ancient relation between these two languages, second: showing a diagram for the purpose of better understanding for the reader and third: having explanation separately for each Indian language with Persian. Not only Persian and Indian languages had a very strong relation in many years ago but also with documents are available these days still they are in contact these two Asian countries. Persian and Indian languages both are for the same group family that’ s why we can find many similarities between these two countries more in their language, their culture even the people or many other things around us. Last but not least Persian language had a very significant impact on Balochi, Pashto and Urdu as well as a moderate impact on Indic languages like Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri and Guajarati.

One of the important novels by Ernest Hemingway is The Sun Also Rises. In the novel, the characters watch the bullfight several times. This paper aims to show how the characters are affected by this game. The way the men in the novel are impacted is different from the women. The male characters are rhizomatic and deterritorialized and have no meanings and traditions to stick to. A rhizomatic situation is attributed to a post-Modernist period. However, the bullfight binds them together and creates an arborescent situation for them. The arborescent situation signifies the classical era in which there were roots, essentialism, and order. Therefore, for male characters, the bullfight acts as going back in history. While this game is uncanny for the female character and by watching the bullfight and by acting masculine, she actually moves forward in history. She repudiates arborescent condition and remains rhizomatic since as a woman, she is not supposed to like the bullfight.

It is stated in the Old Testament: "And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forth with it shrank. . . And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob. But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men". The same story is reflected in Islamic hadith and commentary, and "Israel" is considered the title of Jacob. While according to the evidence in the Holy Quran, Israel lived before the Prophet Jacob and was one of the companions of the Prophet Noah (AS) in the ship. The use of the term "Jacob" twice as opposed to the 41 uses of the "Children of Israel" also emphasizes the difference between the two families. The present article, by studying Islamic traditions and interpretations, has shown that the document and text of the reports indicating that the Prophet Jacob was nicknamed Israel are weak and fake and are among the Israelites. He also finds other evidence in Jewish sources that show that Israel is a person other than the prophet Jacob.

This study tended to seek the effects of flipped classrooms on improving Iranian EFL learners' grammar learning. To this end, the researcher gave the OQPT to 80 Iranian second grade high school students to determine their level of English proficiency. The researcher selected 60 pre-intermediate students and divided them non-randomly into two equal groups; one experimental group (flipped classroom) and one control group (traditional classroom). Then, both groups were pretested through a researcher-made grammar test. After that, the researcher put the participants of experimental group in flipped classroom. The flipped classroom was equipped with Internet, computer and projector and participants in this classroom were allowed to bring their Smartphones to the classroom and use them during learning. On the other hand, the control group was taught in the traditional classroom. The results of paired and independent samples t-tests revealed that there were significant differences in learning English grammar between both groups: the experimental and the control ones, in favor of the experimental group, and this can be attributed to the use of flipped classroom in teaching the experimental one. Based upon the previous findings, the study recommended the necessity of implementing flipped classroom in teaching and learning English grammar to bring about better outcomes in students’ achievement.

With the emergence of the school of existentialism, many writers began to write about the existence of human beings in the world, including the famous existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, who played a crucial role in advancing existential goals. Existentialist themes have since appeared in novels, prose, and poetry. Although Paul Auster’ s “ Disappearances” (1975) has been studied from different views, it has not been studied from the Sartrean existentialism. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the mentioned poem’ s existence crisis through Sartre’ s description of being and non-being. It claims that Auster represents the matter of being and non-being through the poem by referring to the description of a man who wants to highlight his being. Auster highlights the being in which is negated in the core of being. Also, he describes the life in which the man needs to find his true self for describing his existence. In order to find and describe the self, man must be responsible for the choices he has in his life.

The four tablets found in Konar Sandal have led to various theories about the history of writing, its origins, or the definition of a writing system separate from what was previously known as Mesopotamian and Egyptian. However, due to the inability to read the concepts contained in these tablets, they have not been significantly read so far. In the leading research, an attempt has been made to make a check on the content of the two inscriptions among the mentioned cases, using the common writing patterns of the third to the first millennium BC in the Mesopotamia and the Iranian plateau. In this study, it was seen that at the beginning of one of the tablets and also at the end part of the other one, a significant relationship can be established with the introduction pattern of royal genealogies.

Due to the overwhelming desire in the field of English language teaching and learning all across the world; therefore, considering teacher education, and training some qualified and professional teachers are paramount. In order to have a good teacher, a qualified teacher trainer is required. This study reports a qualitative case study to find out how the participant became a teacher trainer and is there any differences between the technical terms of teacher trainer and teacher educator or not. Besides, there is an attempt to figure out the syllabus covered in teacher training courses in private English language institutes in Iran. Hence, the researcher applied a semi-structured online interview to collect data. Data analysis disclosed that there is a standard test in order to become a teacher trainer and there is a difference between mentioned technical terms as well. Further, the most part of teacher training course syllabus is designed to just teach the language and very little attention is given to the psychological aspects of teaching.

Comparative literature has long been concerned with studying similarities and differences in the literature of various cultures and languages. Its approach, like other approaches to literary criticism, is mostly focused on the non-linguistic aspects of the works compared. The present paper has tried to adopt a linguistic and stylistic analytical framework for the comparison of two modern novels from two languages: Woolf’ s Mrs. Dalloway and Salar’ s [I] Am Probably Lost. By referring to Halliday’ s model of transitivity, this research has analyzed and contrasted the two writers’ stylistic choices of transitivity in the transitivity profiles of the heroines in English and Persian, respectively. In the examined excerpts, results showed that Salar had used 24. 8% agentive material processes while Woolf’ s narrative included 10. 9% such processes. Mental processes ranked first in Woolf’ s narrative with 3% more abundance compared to material processes whereas Salar had used mental processes +10% less than material processes. These results and the abundance percentage of other verbal processes were then interpreted based on Halliday’ s arguments about the effects of process abundance on character interpretation, and it was concluded that Mrs. Dalloway’ s transitivity profile was more apt for the expression of modern experience.
