Abstract

English literature teaching in Bangladeshi universities has remained to be a frustrating experience for the faculties. This “frustration” is often attributed to the poor understanding of “the intellectually unequipped” and ‘linguistically unprepared’ students. This study, to understand the faculty frustration, investigates the literature teaching approaches practiced in the classes. The study also examines the role of “linguistic skill” as the learning outcome in the lesson plan of the course teachers. Finally, the paper finds that literature teaching at the tertiary level in Bangladesh does not accommodate pedagogical approaches and the linguistic skill of the students is not given the required priority in the teaching process. This paper, therefore, recommends an Interactive Approach in which language is to be integrated as one of the learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study focuses on the correlation between vocabulary complexity mastery and students’ speaking skills. The purpose of this research was to find out whether vocabulary complexity mastery can influence students’ speaking skills. In finding out the correlation between variables and the degree of correlation, the researcher used quantitative research methods with a correlational research design. This study involved 25 students who were in class XI Nursing major. In collecting research data, the researcher used a vocabulary complexity test (PVLT) of 30 questions. Meanwhile, to find out the speaking skill, the researcher used speaking instruction (Role-play; Cued Task) which involves three assessors. Based on the results of the analysis of the calculation through SPSS, the calculation results obtained the value of Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.0000.005, which indicates that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. Therefore, there is a significant correlation between vocabulary complexity mastery and students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

This research analyzes how the narrative structure of Poe’s tales, namely “The Black Cat” and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” can be imposed with a certain idea about Self or the nature of human subjectivity. Poe’s tales illustrate that human subjectivity consists of two contrasting tendencies for destructiveness/imagination and reflection/cognition. They also show that the Self is always in tension with the Other. To counter this tension, Poe’s tales suggest that the Self should take a moment to reflect upon its subjectivity and let the Other reveal its alterity before interacting with it so that a more harmonious, or at least less problematic, relationship between the two can be established. Reading the selected stories using the Barthesian perspective, this paper sees this imposition as an act of myth-making which in itself is always ideological since there is a certain political and/or economic agenda driving it. Hence, the myth of Self in Poe’s tales needs to be demystified, a process through which Poe’s idea of Self is unmasked as his cries for those in power to take a moment of reflection about the mess they had put into the 1840s United States political-economic condition. This result implies that myths are not always constructed by the ruling class to justify its domination, but can also be written by the oppressed group to voice its concern. In this way, this paper subscribes to the Foucauldian notion of power.

Abstract

Receiving insults virtually is one of the drawbacks of living with cutting-edge technology. Drawing on insults, the study’s objectives are to examine the verbal responses toward insults and the language features employed by the celebrities in the ‘Celebrity Read Mean Tweets’ segment on the Jimmy Kimmel show on Youtube. The data are verbal responses by 50 participants taken from the talkshow’s account. The analysis was carried out qualitatively by adopting the frameworks of Bond and Venus’ verbal responses accompanied by the gender language features of Lakoff and Coates. The results suggested that verbal responses were mainly employed to resist the insults. The strategies of resisting were conducted mostly via antinomies, correcting, and swearing. To signalize their acceptance, the speakers mostly appreciate the quality of the insult. Other purposes of the verbal responses were to ignore the insults which were done predominantly via digression. Subsequently, the highly employed language feature by the celebrities was lexical hedges/fillers and harsh words/swearing. Most of the features were used altogether by both genders, except for empty adjectives which were discovered from female responses. The results of this study can help explore strategies to tackle insults and future research related to verbal responses.

The parenting context was implemented in the form of colouring picture stories. Further, this research employed descriptive qualitative method. Data collection techniques used were tests, questionnaires, and documentation. As regards sampling technique, a purposive sampling was applied, based on the class criteria of Grade IV students who enrolled the offline class. It should be noted that this study was conducted after the peak of pandemic crisis but most schools still enrolled online class. Finally, the results of this study demonstrate that students perceive they are most likely to learn and be motivated in learning English through colouring parenting-related pictures.

Abstract

This study proposed a curriculum design that thoroughly considers blended learning in the context of English as a foreign language (EFL). The main objectives were (1) to list the components to be included in the curriculum and how such components should be presented so that the curriculum can be successfully implemented and (2) to implement this curriculum in higher education. A total of 27 EFL students from a university in central Taiwan participated in the study. Various tasks were used to enable the students to actively explore the subject content and improve their language skills. Surveys and face-to-face meetings were also conducted to explore the students’ perspectives regarding the course, and the results of their feedback revealed their positive attitude toward the course. The educational activities, procedures, final results, and reflections regarding further research are explained herein. This study contributed to the field of EFL blended learning.
