The four scenarios concerned writing in class, being corrected in an oral activity, grammar rule repetition and going to class unprepared. The overall aim was to investigate the emotions evoked in these situations and the emotion-regulation strategies that students employed. Results showed that everyday classroom situations may trigger more negative (anxiety, nervousness, self-derogation) than positive emotions (self-confidence, empathy, encouragement). The students' most frequent emotion regulation strategy was positive self-talk which activated supportive emotions, beliefs and attitudes.

Relevant research has not been very productive beyond the fact that when learners 'embark on or sail along' foreign language learning they need to be directed toward using strategies that would make their endeavours less tiresome and more effective. More insights are required to find out whether and how strategies are promoted by the foreign language curriculum, the language teachers, or the coursebooks to assist the development of learner self-management. After reviewing relevant literature, the present paper focuses on language learning strategy instruction in classroom settings by investigating the extent to which such instruction is ...

In this paper I discuss the opposition of the two verb forms in some environments in which particular linguistic and contextual elements are present and the role these elements play in the interpretation of the situation and the choice between present perfect and past tense. I also examine briefly whether or not similar co-occurrence restrictions apply to the Modern Greek respective verb forms and, if not, what alternative linguistic forms are used for the interpretation of such situations.

Research paper thumbnail of Disambiguating Temporal Phrases: the ʻαπο-' and ʻsince-' Comparison

The Greek ʻαπό - temporal phrase' and the English ʻsince- temporal phrase' both denote a ... more The Greek ʻαπό - temporal phrase' and the English ʻsince- temporal phrase' both denote a past temporal interval in the respective languages, the initial point of which is given by the accompanying temporal phrase. As regards the terminal point of the interval this is the moment of speech (MOS) when the above adverbials collocate with the Perfect. However, despite their similarities in the specification of time and their selection of grammatical caregories, they differ a great deal in the semantic restrictions imposed by rheir interaction with the types of situations selected and their expression in the Perfect. Ιn this paper it is argued that the attested differences are due to a) the semantic values which characterize the two Perfects, and b) the inherent aspectual properties of the situations. It is furher argued that the two intervals denoted by the από- and since – adverbials, although both definite with well defined end-points, offer a different time specification ιο th...

However, although the temporal specifications of the Modern Greek Perfect (i.e. its association with the MOS) allow it to convey the notion of 'current relevance', this notion primarily exhibits discourse-pragmatic features and, by accompanying the Perfect as a conventional implicature, it contributes to the ability of the Perfect to be used by the speaker also whenever he/she wishes to express subjective judgements concerning the relevance or relatedness of a situation to the MOS. In my paper, I discuss some contexts in which selection of the Perfect by the speaker signals his/her communicative intentions on the immediate speech situation and also defines the general frame for the hearer to carry out his/her inferential proces...
