Title: Yoruba Folktales, the New Media and Postmodernism Authors: Sesan, Azeez Akinwumi Abstract: The complexity and dynamism of human society bring about innovation in the production, transmission, retrieval and performance of culture (low, high and popular). The advancement in technology as a result of postmodern social codes has given new impetus to discourse on the Yoruba verbal arts (with particular interest in Yoruba folktales).

Title: Functions of ‘Madrasas’ in the Ottoman Period Authors: Akbash, Ayla Abstract: The understanding and practices of education of Turks during the times before they chose the religion of Islam were shaped with their own life style. The application of praying and worshipping and education based on the structure of the Turkish foundations may be considered to be the start of the process of formal and organized education. As a result of the sympathy for science which is observed during this era, some literary work was seen which had teaching and instructive effect on the society. These were based on such values as ethics, manners, goodness, generosity, wisdom, braveness, respect for the old people which were the social values of the Turkish society during these eras. The secondary goal of education was bringing up heroic type individuals.

Title: A Comparison of Locus of control and General English Achievement in Students of Medicine and Theology Authors: Golparvar, Seyyed Ehsan Abstract: Delving into the maze of L2 acquisition necessitates examining factors lrellated to individual differences (IDs) in learners (Ellis, 2008) which are different from one person to another (Dörnyei, 2005) and deal with anything which marks a person as a distinct human being (De Road, 2000). Studies conducted in this field have highlighted IDs to be reliable predictors of L2 success (Dörnyei, 2005). Early studies of IDs had an either-or approach; they tended to classify learners as good and weak, intelligent and dull, and motivated and unmotivated (Horwitz, 2000). Recently, more research projects have focused on explaining why some learners are more successful than others. Robinson (2002) and Dörnyei (2005) both put language aptitude, motivation, personality, and anxiety on their list as the main factors in the realm of individual differences. Oxford and Ehrman (1993) maintained that teachers should spot IDs among their students and take them into account in order to work out the most effective instructions. Research in this field has mainly focused on particular learners' characteristics and their measurement rather than showing some illuminating guidelines to help learners in the process of learning, how to assist them to take charge of their own learning, and how to mediate their learning (Williams & Burden, 1997).
