Abstract

Intralingual comparison in language learning is an effective teaching method, which introduces a new learning from what students have mastered to what they are going to learn. The study is to investigate the effects of applying intralingual comparison on the teaching of English adverbial relative clauses to Chinese Senior high school students. Data was collected utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods in a mixed method design. Data was gathered via experimental research (n=103) and semi-structured interview (n=12). The experimental group’s posttest scores improved statistically significantly after intervention. Research findings suggest that applying intralingual comparison in teaching could be considered as an effective teaching method in improving students’ performance on learning English adverbial relative clauses. Besides, students would have more active and positive attitudes toward learning adverbial relative clauses than the traditional teaching method.

Abstract

ABSTRACT A language classroom must have the right environment for learning and cannot be classified as every other subject as it is a subject which assesses students' abilities in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. As language educators are obliged to use online platforms to teach and assess their students due the pandemic, there are many challenges that they face. Thus, the purpose of this study is to look into the issues that language instructors have when it comes to online learning and assessment. All language instructors at the School of Languages, Civilization, and Philosophy, Universiti Utara Malaysia's were given Google Form questionnaires to answer. The data was analysed using SPSS statistic version 26 and Smart PLS-SEM 3.2.8 with a sample volume of 40 (56 percent) (Ringle, Wende, & Becker, 2015). The descriptive statistics of the respondent's demographic profile were conducted using the SPSS statistics tool. Following that, the PLS statistical tool was used to examine the study's measurement and structural model. The measurement model test was undertaken to ensure that the constructs of this study had reached their reliability and validity. The findings show multiple applications and platforms, online marking, nonverbal evaluation, and plagiarism pose the greatest problem for language instructors in terms of technology and assessments. In terms of teaching, the issues are creativity, rapport, heavy workload, as well as lack of communication and participation from students. Keywords: Online teaching, Online assessment, Language instructors, Pandemic

Abstract

AbstractThis conceptual paper aims to examine the use and application of code-switching and code-mixing among users of social media based on recent studies in Sociolinguistics. Communication in general has evolved tremendously in the 21st century, as it has made interactions with people all around the world much faster and easier. Social media is an important platform that allows these interactions to take place. Having multiple users from different countries influences the utilization of the first language (mother tongue), code-switching, code-mixing and borrowed words. Social media users have been shown to extensively use code-mixing and code-switching, particularly among speakers in the bilingual or multilingual society. Thus, this conceptual paper will attempt to deliberate on the use of code-switching as well as code-mixing among users of social media; namely people’s preference of social media, types and use of code-switching and code-mixing on social media, and lastly factors which influence the use of code-switching and code-mixing on social media. Keywords: Code switching; Code mixing; Sociolinguistics; Social media
