persists in the manner with which the authors have chosen to operationalize their research question. When operationalizing their research question the authors made several critical clerical errors that could have impacted their results. In their discussion of uncertainty there is a lack of clarity in the definition used which could cause confusion given the associated context in which the measure is being used. The definition of uncertainty within the scientific community most certainly differs from
part of the mainstream of research and practice within the field of language education, the study of learning strategies in L2 acquisition has drawn much attention. This paper discusses the issues covering the fundamental aspect: identification and classification of learning strategy. The problems are reviewed concerning the definition and classification of learning strategies and then the paper tentatively introduces Cohen’s approach to defining learning strategies in terms of prototypicality of features
Framework of Tourism: Towards a Definition of Tourism, Tourist, and the Tourist Industry (Leiper, 1979) Find six academic definitions for tourism, tourist or travel. Discuss each of these six definitions and explain the merits and efficiencies of each one, making connections with the points raised by Leiper (1979) where possible. Then provide an overall discussion about which definition is best and for what reason/s. Introduction Six definitions for the term Tourism were found from a variety
Significance of the Research The most important thing in the introductory part of the research is that it must show “significance of the research” in terms of practical contributions and theoretical contributions. The authors of this research article have done well by presenting both types of research contributions at the beginning in the very first paragraph of the article. The article started with a theoretical gap of the diverse and multi-faced definitions of the term creativity and how the term is actually
bullying is the lack of consensus among employers, researchers, and legislators as to what defines workplace bullying.

Some complain that definitions are not precise enough or lack the span necessary to include all forms of workplace bullying. One reason there are so many definitions is because there are many components to consider: frequency, intensity, duration, intent, victim experience, and the
