This document summarizes several models of second language acquisition that incorporate individual learner differences as variables. It discusses seven models: 1) The "Good Language Learner" model which identifies teaching, learner and context variables affecting learning outcomes. 2) Monitor Theory where affective filter influences success. 3) Brown and Fraser's model focusing on setting and relationships. 4) Levin's two-stage diagnostic-prescriptive model involving input and output. 5) Gardner's model emphasizing cultural beliefs, individual differences, and second language acquisition. 6) Skehan's model highlighting joined variable effects. 7) Spolsky's model examining restricted conditions' impact on individual differences. The document analyzes how each model incorporates key individual variables.

Customer loyalty is dynamic, compelling and changing all the time. Awareness of a loyalty program’s importance was once relegated solely to a handful of sponsors of a program at a company, or those of us toiling in our industry to support the program. Today, loyalty programs are an enterprise initiative — reflective of the customer experience of brands, managed by customer service, finance, marketing, operations and IT, driven by segmented media and consumer campaigns, and expected to drive ROI, fostering lifelong connections and creating lifetime brand value.
The loyalty and customer experience landscape has been positively impacted by several exciting trends:
- The analyses of Big Data which derive meaningful consumer behavioral insights. We challenge ourselves and our clients to use it to create genuine experiences versus the more simplistic points-for-rewards stereotypes
- The need for devices and channels (think smartphones, tablets, digital signage, kiosks, radio, TV, print, etc.) to create a consistent customer experience. We need to build omnichannel loyalty programs, and then mine the data sets they create
- The importance of having programs that appeal to both the rational and emotional sides of the brain — emotional connections can include elements of gamification and social media, while rational are the tangible rewards e.g. discounts or coupons
These trends – and other insights – form the backbone of the Kobie Knowledge Quarterly Review. Our goal is to bring to you loyalty landscape commentary and analyses of where the loyalty industry is heading. We welcome conversations about loyalty through our observations, commentaries, insights and, in some cases, criticisms of the developments taking place.
We hope the Kobie Knowledge Quarterly Review leaves you with a greater appreciation that customer loyalty isn’t just about the program itself. Or even solely for driving ROI and heightening customer engagement. Loyalty, the bond an individual makes with another, is central to the human condition. It’s about reciprocity, faith, trust and at its greatest intensity, a type of moral obligation, akin to the connections we forge with family and friends.
Brands and businesses, the best ones, are no different.

The present study was an attempt to investigate the effect of critical thinking level on Iranian EFL learners’ choice of language learning strategies. The participants were 93 male and female B.A. level Iranian students majoring in English language teaching and English translation at Imam Khomeini International University in Qazvin; Zanjan University; and Kar non-profit University in Qazvin. Data were collected using the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL), and Peter Honey’s Critical Thinking Scale. The participants were divided into three levels (High, Mid, Low) of critical thinking based on their scores on the critical thinking questionnaire. The participants’ strategy use in the three groups was compared using six separate one-way ANOVA procedures. The results showed that the level of critical thinking significantly influenced students’ choice of memory, cognitive, metacognitive and social strategies, but had no significant effect on the choice of compensation and affective strategies. The findings of this study may have both theoretical and pedagogical implications for learners, teachers, and syllabus designers.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. A. Models of Second Language Learning and Their Variables Models of SLA related to individual outcome which divided two: Model distinguish between individual telated variables (Social variables, contextual variables). Model assumses interrelationship between individual variables.
6. B. Models With Independent Learner Variables 1. The “Good Language-Learners” Model 2. Monitor Theory 3. Brown And Fraser’s 4. Levin 5. Gardner 6. Skehan 7. Spolsky
7. 1. The “Good Language-Learners” Model The model proposed by Naiman, Frohlich, Todesco, and Stern identifities: A. Teaching B. Learner C. Context Two dependent variables: A. Learning B. Out come
8. Continued..... In this model of theory showed that there is a direct link between each of the three global independents variables and the learning variable. However, how these independents variables and which particular sub-variables affect the learning variables, remains unclear.
