The current study aimed to find the relationship between personality traits and learning styles of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) students across high, intermediate, and low levels of reading proficiency in online courses. To this purpose, 50 male and 50 female BA students were selected through convenient sampling from the executive management department at Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran. Their age range was 20 to 26 years. They were divided into three groups of high, intermediate, and low reading proficiency based on a simulated TOEFL CBT reading test. Their learning style and personality type were assessed through Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)-Form M and the Learning Style Inventory-3 (LSI3), respectively. Upon collecting the data from the MBTI, the LSI3, and the reading tests, the researchers coded the scores and used path analysis. The results showed that there were significant relationships among a number of the variables under investigation; especially extroversion was found to be an important personality trait affecting online reading proficiency and other variables. The results also showed that the extroversion trait had a positive significant relationship with high reading proficiency, while the thinking dimension resulted in low reading proficiency. Moreover, The participants who had the objective experience trait possessed a high ability in reading, and those who had the reflective observation trait were less proficient in reading.

بازمانده های باستان شناختی فرهنگ شکار و یا منسوب به دستگرد در ایران باستان که تاکنون کاوش و معرفی شده اند را می توان به دو گروه اشکانی و ساسانی طبقه بندی کرد؛ و در این نوشتار، ایده اصلی نویسنده این است که معماری شکارگاه ها و ساخت دستگرد در ایران باستان، اصالتاً ساسانی است؛ و از دوران اشکانیان و هخامنشیان، هنوز شواهد روشن و تردیدناپذیری ندارد. هرچند شواهد باستان شناختی از رواج سنت شکار در میان طبقه اشرافی پارتی به دست آمده است، اما درباره آثار دستگرد و کوشک های شکارگاهی در عهد اشکانی هنوز نمی توان به یقین سخن گفت؛ با این حال، شاید بتوان بنای چهارتاقی  کوهستانی معروف به پاوویون قلعه ضحاک در آذرآبادگان را گونه ای دستگرد پنداشت؛ که البته اثبات و یا انکار این فرضیه نویسنده، نیازمند کاوش های بیشتر در آینده است. پس از عهد اشکانی، نمایش صحنه های شکار و نخجیر در هنر ساسانی نمود بیشتری یافته است که البته ریشه در نمایش شکار گراز در هنر اشکانی دارد؛ اما صرف نظر از آثار هنری مرتبط با سنت نخجیر و شکارگری منسوب به عهد ساسانی، شواهد باستان شناختی از ناحیه کرمانشاهان بر وجود نخجیرگاه های سلطنتی و دستگرد های متناسب با سنت و فرهنگ شکار در بارگاه ساسانیان تأکید می کند؛ که در این نوشتار، سه محوطه باستانی تاق بستان  و کنگاور و فرهادتراش بیستون به عنوان شکارگاه سلطنتی و دستگردهای ساسانی پیشنهاد می شود.

This study analyzed the requirement of English education for arts students and the language needs for arts administrators in the workplace in Taiwan. A total of 83 participants, comprising 37 graduate students majoring in the arts and 46 company administrators in art-related jobs, responded to a questionnaire requesting their opinions concerning English education. The results indicated that the language skills that the students required were similar to those that company administrators used in the workplace. Reading was the skill that company administrators used the most, and speaking was the least used skill. However, among the 30 language tasks, the comparison of mean scores indicated a discrepancy in needs between the students and company administrators. The arts students required sufficient vocabulary and adequate reading practice, because they were required to take English proficiency tests as a graduation requirement and their course materials included English articles and journal papers. Regarding the company administrators, introducing artwork and presenting products were crucial because they must sell artwork. The results can serve as fundamental information for reforming and preparing English curricula and courses tailored to the needs of arts students in Taiwan.
