English is the main language of communication used in the East Asia as a lingua franca in all types of international contacts.

Writing on a complex problem like adult learning can itself be a complex process. An adult student’s cultural literacy is formed over a lifetime of experiences with the written word and encompasses their expectations, their goals, and their understanding of their relationship to the broader world.

Educationally, they may have finished high school several years prior, not have finished high school at all, or be completing a ...

Self-regulation is a process when people plan something, act according to these plans, and self-estimate the outcomes (Fleisher, 2012, p. 23). The main aim of a teacher is to show the value in the task, so that the students will seek to set a goal (Zumbrunn, Tadlock & Roberts, 2011, p. 8). Fleisher illustrates two theories of ...
