The supposition was that those scoring higher on VECTERS’value and expectancy items would be more likely to currently be integrating a classroom strategyand would be more likely to plan on using the strategy in the future (either initiating orcontinuing to use). Regarding costs, a cost-increases-with-usage hypothesis was supposed bysome on the research team even though expectancy theory supported the cost-decreases-with-usage hypothesis.Construct validity was further examined by applying orthogonal (varimax) rotation factoranalysis. Analysis was applied to VECTERS’ three sub-tests (formative feedback, real-worldapplications, and

these skills, not related to professional ambitions, come into play. Interestingly, aminority of students (14.3%) do not agree that English-language skills are important in thesecontexts, which suggests that their decision to study at a North-American institution is likely forother academic reasons. It should be noted that of those that did not agree on the importance ofEnglish-language skills, half indicated they were planning to stay in Canada after graduation(data not explicitly shown), which suggests a perception that communication skills are notrelevant to engineers or necessary for future success, even in an English-speaking environment. 45 42 40 35

For a long time, economic growth and external charitable aid have been regarded as“panaceas” for poverty alleviation. Although there have been literature studies arguing thatthere is a clear positive correlation between economic growth and poverty alleviation, theempirical results show that there is a high heterogeneity between economic growth andpoverty reduction.

It also suggests that writers (with guidance by their instructors and studentsupport services) need to plan time in order for an audience to emerge to the writer as a genuinepresence that can guide and shape their ideas. Because the chart helps writers locate themselvesin their own composing process, in the world of ideas and among a community of readers,writers are less likely to just “fix grammar” on a draft or decide that they “just can’t write.” Witha basic language and a growing sense of the time required to produce a college-level engineeringproject, writers gain a growing sense of “authority” over
