Based on the integrated and Distinctive view of Miyak et al. (2000), Executive Functions are a set of related and distinct structures that allow individuals to strive for self-regulation, thoughts, and actions towards the goal of Special help. Self-regulation as metacognitive knowledge as defined by Flavell (1979) and follows Dornyei’s (2005) call to focus on the psychological perspectives of language learning. This study aimed to explore the relationship between a deficiency in the executive function of the brain and writing skills through the mediation of self-regulatory strategies. In this study, 150 Iranian EFL university students were selected. Using Simple random sampling of a population of 630 .they were asked to fill out a self-regulatory strategy questioner by Wang and Bai (2013) and a questionnaire of efficacy in the executive function of the brain by Barkley (2011) and during the course, students were asked to write 7 pieces of writing in the General genre. The study Method was a Descriptive type of correlation. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data. The research model had a good fit and the factor structure considered acceptable. The results of the study showed that there was a correlation among research variables at the level of 0.01. Considering individual differences, including executive function of the brain, and improving these differences by applying English language learning strategies can be effective in increasing writing skills

This essay examines the appropriation of Anton Chekhov’s short story “Misery” (1886) by Simin Daneshvar in her “Be ki salam konam” (Whom Shall I Greet?” 1980). Daneshvar appropriates the Russian short story for her feminist agenda in the new Iranian context. Such a transnational transposition can be studied in light of Harold Bloom’s notion of “anxiety of influence”. More specifically, the comparison between these two short stories, in addition to throwing into relief the poetics of adaptation and influence, problematizes the supposed gender freeness of Bloom’s theory. Having described the many similarities (formal and thematic) between the two short stories, it is argued that Bloom’s theory needs a gendered and transnational revision. Daneshvar hybridizes the Russian text. From the perspective of Bloom’s theory of anxiety of influence, we can say that in the absence of a feminine tradition (at least in the realm of prose fiction), Daneshvar creates a feminist Chekhov in her misreading of the Russian author. Yet the problem with Bloom’s theory is its male-centeredness, that is, the paternal precursor. In a sense, Daneshvar’s creative misreading (in the Bloomian sense) replaces the paternal structure with a maternal metaphor. Also, the intercultural dialogue between the Russian and Iranian authors redefines anxiety as transnational. Accordingly, we might call Daneshvar’s story a gendered revisionist appropriation.
