This document discusses several factors that can influence language learning motivation and achievement, including motivation, socioeconomic status, learning period, ethnicity and culture, and age. It reports on various studies that have found motivation and socioeconomic status to be important influences, with motivated students and those from higher income families tending to perform better. Longer learning periods are also found to correlate with stronger language skills. Ethnicity and culture can impact learning strategies, and age is a factor as well, with younger learners generally absorbing a new language more easily than adults.

English language as a Medium of Instruction Inside the Classroom: Perception ...Marvin Ramirez
This is a research paper for our English 34 which discusses the perception of selected first year college students about the English Language as a medium of classroom instruction.
Almost all Moroccan institutions of education, as others elsewhere, of all levels from primary, secondary to higher, of all sectors, from private to public, of all shapes and sizes, from metropolitan universities to small institutions, are starting to teach English as a second language to students. These students’ learning is influenced by their parents’ involvement in and attitudes toward English language. Such influence is what the current study tires to investigate and evaluate in the Moroccan context. To this end, a quantitative approach was adopted, and 31 questionnaires were distributed on students at Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University. The results showed that parents were strongly involved in their children’s learning of English though with varying degree. Parents with educational background and considerable income accompanied their children through all twists and turns of their learning journey. The less fortunate ones, however, were less engaged when it comes to orienting their children’s specialty choice. It was also found out that most parents recognized the crucial role of English language. The findings revealed also that parents’ support in and positive attitudes toward English language have significantly facilitated and contributed to the academic achievement of the students.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
3. 1. Ellis (1994) defined motivation as an effort that is made by the student as
a secondary language based on their desire to learn and comprehend it.
2. Gardner & Lambert (1972) divide motivation into two category,
integrative and universal. Integrative is when the student commit himself
towards the language and really enthusiast to learn the language and also
about the country where the language came from. Meanwhile universal
when the student learn the language widely and from all sort of the
aspect.
3. Oxford & Nyikos (1989)stated that in America, motivation is the most
important in order to learn a foreign language. Students with high
motivation in learning a foreign language will have a better achievement
compared to student with no motivation.
4. Parents’ economy also contribute towards students achievement in language.
According to Coleman (1996) and Jenks.
Parents’ academic achievement also plays a big role in their children academic.
Because parents with high academic background will put more effort in their
children’s academic welfare.
Mohd Nazali (1999) and his friends stated that there’s a significant relationship
between parents’ academic status and their children comprehension in English.
Parents’ economy status also plays a big role in students academic achievement in
language study. This is because with parents stability in their income will be able
to put more effort in their children’s education. They could support their tuition
fees and private class. According to research that was done by Mohd Nazali in
three different Malay school, family with stable economy will do more strategy in
Language Learning.
5. Research that was done stated that students’ who have a longer period of
study will have a better strategy in Learning a Language compared to a
new learner. According to Ehmran (1990), he had done a research on
Students and teachers at US Foreign Service Institute, students who have a
longer period of Language Learning will have more strategy in learning a
new language compared to student with shorter period of study.
This shows that period of learning also plays a role for students’
comprehension in Language studies.
Chamot and his friends stated that when the Language studies increase
then the cognitive strategy in mind will lessen meanwhile the
metacognitive strategy in a person increase.
6. Observed stated that students from different ethnic will use a
different strategy in learning new language. Some students will
be more open in learning new language when they were
exposed in environment with people who are free to speak their
thoughts and mind.
Some students are vice versa because of their culture.
Research by Liu & Littlewood also stated that an individual in
different ethnics and culture have different pattern of language
learning compared to other culture. In fact, Asian students are
more shy and not that outspoken when the live in big lively city
like America.
7. According to Lightbown & Spada, one of a new scenario is when parents
that move to a new country with a different language, their children are
able to speak the new native language fluently. This shows that age also
plays a big aspect for their children’s language learning.
Children, from a very young age have a potential to absorb new language
compared to the adults
According to Graham (1997), It was a bit difficult to detest the students’
language development based on their age. However, the adults learner
have more contextual knowledge compared to ten year old student.
