The aim of this study is to investigate the flow experiences of foreign language (EFL) learners in online classes during Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. The participants were 84 university students as EFL learners. Data were collected from a perception survey, a background questionnaire and open-ended questions to provide triangulation. The results showed that participants had flow experiences with different levels of different categories of flow. The results also showed that there was no significant difference in terms of gender. Additionally, the findings proved that participants' flow experiences were partially interrupted by some problems they faced during their online classes.
The years beginning with 1960 witnessed several alterations in the thoughts of the women identified as 'second-wave' feminists with regard to both social and political perspectives, which was led by the influence of women's movements. The women of that period directed their attention more to such matters like discrimination, gender, inequality, and violence whereas they were still interested in domestic issues. Women's new interests were fundamental sources of the works of such prominent feminist playwrights like Sarah Daniels displaying tendencies towards second-wave feminism. In this study, one of the debatable plays of her, The Devil's Gateway (1983) is analysed in terms of the gradual transformation of the female characters through self-awareness, regarding their positions in both domestic and public domain as well. In the light of the background of Daniels' period, with hermeneutic analysis and feminist criticism, the study also aims to observe triggering factors for the women's awakening in detail from the very beginning to the end of the play. The evaluations of the study are revealed in the conclusion part.
Regarded as one of the polemical playwrights considerably touched by the firm atmosphere of Thatcherite reign in Britain, Mark Ravenhill comes to the forefront with his bold spirit and opponent voice reflected in all of his works through his unconventional narrative style. Inasmuch as he is generally placed into the theatrical sensibility of In-Yer-Face theatre which is substantially fuelled by the politics of Margaret Thatcher, his later plays mostly deal with social problems as well as inner sphere of individuals as presented in the play Ghost Story (2010). This study aims at analyzing the power of thought in healing process of female characters suffering breast cancer in Ghost Story while setting light to the inner minds of them. In line with this, the resonances of their stream of mind will be presented through content analysis of the play. The evaluations will also be given in the conclusion part of the study.
