Journal with a title

Feelings and Problems of being a Turkish ELT Graduate Student:

This journal presents the issues that the turkish ELT Gradute Student's problems during their
studies in ELT.
According to the result of the research below, it showed their issues :
The data collected through interviews with eight participants have been grouped under two
main
themes: feelings and problems. Each theme is presented under a sub-title. Even though
each case
represents one stage, the participants did talk about their previous stages and their feelings.
Therefore, the themes and sub-themes were exemplified and explained by taking more than
one
participant into account.

From the conclusion that the researcher mention in the journal,we can conclude that, the
gradute students mostly have Affective issues. We can categorized the affective issues as
anxiety, dissapointment, lack of self-confidence in ELT.

Affective factors are emotional factors which influence learning. They can have a negative or
positive effect. Negative affective factors are called affective filters and are an important idea
in theories about second language acquisition.
The primary goal of English language learning is to help students acquire the confidence
necessary to learn and use the English language.
The next current issues is physchomotor issue. It proves in the journal's findings

" P3 stated that she was excited when she passed to the thesis
writing stage. Along with this excitement, she also expressed being indecisive in finding a
research
topic for her thesis. The biggest dilemma she was in was whether the research topic she
chose was
a valid one or not. This question even encompassed her daily life. Most GSs have difficulty
in
finding a research topic for their thesis (Aslan, 2010). It can be concluded that GSs,
especially in
MA degrees, do no reach the necessary levels to be able to devise and conduct a research
independently. Thus, guiding these GSs is significant to eliminate the above stated negative
feelings before they progress to writing their theses."

Most of Gradute students also have an issue in physchomotor ( lack of writing ).
