With the general unemployment rate estimated at over 32% and youth unemployment at over 50%, Nigeria is a country of few opportunities and occupational mobility is more or less non-existent. It is widely believed that most people who work in the civil service, especially at the Local Government Councils do so not because they enjoy it but because that is what is available. This study investigated job satisfaction amongst employees of Esit Eket Local Government Council and its relationship with their performance. Using a survey research method, the researchers administered a questionnaire to the entire staff population of 256, of which 246 representing 96.09% were correctly completed and returned. The findings of the study revealed that there is job satisfaction amongst the workers as evidenced by the low staff turnover and exit rate from the sector and that there is a significant relationship between Local Government employee job satisfaction and performance. Contrary to the negative social constructs associated with public staff at the Local Government Councils, they are performing real services of value which ensure political stability as well as accessibility and affordability of key citizen services. To sustain and increase the satisfaction level, the study recommended that the government should carry out innovative improvements to the working conditions of staff at Esit Eket in a way that is enriching and gives room for value creation, such that innovation and creativity now attract key rewards such as promotion, to sustain staff satisfaction.
Toys for Friends (TFF): A Community Service Learning (CSL) to Cultivate Social Responsibility among Primary School Students
Authors: Mohd Sharif, Shaharuddin, Sirri, Ramli Nurhidayah, ‘Atiqah, Azura, Nur Shamsinar
Published: May 2024

Community Service Learning (CSL) is an academic learning approach that integrates community service and academic content to enhance each other. Literature on CSL focuses heavily on the learning outcomes of the participants specifically service providers and very few looked into the backbone of the CSL, which is its framework and learning modules. Therefore, this study aims to examine the extent to which a CSL initiative, Toys for Friends (TFF) is effective in fostering social responsibility among students (service providers and service recipients), specifically by looking into its framework and learning modules. TFF was designed to bring together two Malaysian primary schools from different socioeconomic brackets: one serving as a service provider school involving privileged students and the other as a receiving school involving underprivileged students. This study acts as a preliminary study to identify areas that need to be improved before the implementation of the TTF to ensure its successful execution. This study was qualitatively designed. The data were collected via structured interviews with ten tertiary academic staff who had experience participating in community service-learning programmes. A thematic analysis was performed on audio-recorded interview data. The findings identified four significant themes which are, (1) fostering social responsibility among all key players, (2) bridging community gaps through the two-pronged CSL approach, (3) promoting social responsibility through learning modules, and (4) providing opportunities for face-to-face meetings among participants. The findings suggest that students would be able to acquire social responsibility while simultaneously enhancing their English language proficiency through participating in TFF. This study provides insights into useful aspects and strategies for CSL curriculum designers to consider when designing programmes to ensure that both service providers and service recipients gain social responsibility and experience effective learning.
The Understanding and Perceptions of PeKa B40 Health Service: A Qualitative Study in Felda Lubuk Merbau
Authors: Mohd Zuki, Isa, Suddin Abdul Hadi, Mohamad Rodi, Leny Suzana
Published: May 2024

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose a significant public health challenge in Malaysia. Hence, the PeKa B40 program was launched to target the economically disadvantaged by offering financial aid for specific medical treatments. This study in Felda Lubuk Merbau seeks to uncover the residents' understanding, experiences, benefits, and perceptions to understand and address barriers to the PeKa B40 program uptake for targeted improvements. This qualitative study employed two Focus Group Discussions with ten Felda residents: five individuals who utilized the Peka B40 program and five who did not, all aged over forty years old and were eligible for the PeKa B40 program. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data and the NVIVO v11 qualitative software was used for data management. The results present insights into the PeKa B40 program across four domains: Understanding, highlighting limited knowledge and factors like doctors’ guidance; Experience, noting differences in diagnoses during the PeKa B40 program; Benefits, emphasizing early detection of diseases with reasonable charges; and Perception, highlighting the recommendation of the programs to other persons and negative perception from certain individuals towards the health screening program. The utilization of healthcare facilities demonstrates the implementation of successful interventions, which in turn is associated with improved health outcomes. The Malaysian government's efforts to enhance health are hindered by insufficient promotion. The problems include financial constraints, obtaining support from stakeholders, and addressing the vast range of demands. Effective communication of information is vital, particularly for initiatives such as PeKa B40, which provides health tests and assistance for chronic illnesses. Health education has a beneficial impact on how people perceive and behave towards healthcare. On the other hand, stigma creates obstacles that prevent people from obtaining timely and appropriate care, which has a substantial impact on their health outcomes.
Do pharmacists have roles in Tuberculosis? A Narrative Review
Authors: Subedi Sapana
Published: May 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that is caused by bacteria called, “Mycobacterium tuberculosis”. It usually affects the lungs. Pharmacists can play an important role in facilitating optimal pathways to the care of tuberculosis. This narrative review aims to describe the multiple roles of different types of pharmacists in tuberculosis. It analyses the role of different types of pharmacists in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of tuberculosis. This narrative review is divided into four main sections: (1) the role of the pharmacist in tuberculosis in medication management; (2) the pharmacists’ role in tuberculosis patient support and education; (3) public health collaboration; and (4) role of the pharmacist in resource-limited settings. In the first section, the review presents the roles of pharmacists in medication management, such as dispensing, preventing drug-resistant TB, and promoting medication adherence. The second section describes counseling, and diagnosis, and refers to the role of pharmacists in tuberculosis patient support and education. The third section includes public health roles such as prevention of TB transmission and involvement in DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short-Course). Finally, the role of pharmacists in resource-limited settings, such as, the role in low- and middle-income countries and other roles are described, along with strategies to strengthen the role of pharmacists in tuberculosis. Professional support, improved public sector patient care, and media campaigns would help strengthen the role of pharmacists in tuberculosis. In efforts to align with the WHO’s new End TB Strategy 2016–2035, health systems should consider utilizing hospital, clinical, industrial, community, and other types of pharmacists to assist in improving tuberculosis identification, diagnosis, and treatment to prevent morbidity and mortality.

This qualitative study investigates the errors committed by Turkish EFL learners and the rate of spelling mistakes to grammar errors in learners’ paragraphs. In order to examine these issues, 19 participants studying at a private high school in Turkey took part in this study. The qualitative data were collected through students’ paragraphs written in English. A content and a descriptive analysis were employed to analyze the data. The grammar errors were categorized as errors of omission, addition, misformation, and double types throughout the scrutiny. The errors were related to various grammatical elements such as verbs, articles, verb inflections, noun inflections, and prepositions. The most frequent error category was omission, and the grammar elements the students errored most were prepositions. The results also showed that the students’ grammar errors were approximately two times more than their spelling mistakes. Given the results of this study, some suggestions for future studies and pedagogical implications were provided.

Authors: Sadoughi Majid , Hejazi S. Yahya
Published: May 2024

Motivated by the ‘emotional turn’ in applied linguistics and the recent introduction of positive psychology in L2 studies, the present study aimed to validate and shorten the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ) for measuring positive emotions in foreign language learning and classroom settings. To this end, data were collected from 442 Iranian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students from several major state universities using the adapted sub-scales of positive classroom- and learning-related emotions of the AEQ. To prepare the short version, five items with the highest factor loadings in each of the six sub-scales were retained, which resulted in a total of 30 items. A six-factor model of this short version called Foreign Language Positive Emotions Questionnaire (FL-PEQ) was corroborated, which indicated that this measure could adequately differentiate between enjoyment, hope, and pride in foreign language ‘learning’ and ‘classroom’. Additionally, internal validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the FL-PEQ were confirmed.

Abstract: Este artículo presenta una investigación descriptiva del diseño curricular para fomentar la lectoescritura en licenciaturas en la enseñanza de la lengua inglesa pertenecientes a cinco universidades públicas mexicanas con el objetivo de identificar cómo cada universidad integra la formación en la lectoescritura académica en el diseño curricular de su programa de enseñanza de lenguas. Actualmente, el desarrollo de la lectoescritura es una de las áreas de mayor interés en la educación superior ya que se considera como una de las competencias fundamentales que promueven no sólo la reproducción de saberes sino la construcción de éstos y la integración de los profesionistas a su comunidad de práctica. Este estudio retoma dicha preocupación en términos de su realización curricular en las licenciaturas en enseñanza del inglés para lo cual se analizaron los mapas curriculares y se identificaron aquellos cursos que de manera explícita atienden el desarrollo de la formación en habilidades de lectoescritura de acuerdo con los discursos de Ivanič (2004) y el modelo curricular de Bañales Faz et al. (2016). Se analizan los distintos discursos y modelos curriculares que usan estas universidades con respecto a la incorporación de la enseñanza de la formación en lectoescritura en inglés y español para descubrir cuál o cuáles modelos de implementación curricular se emplean en cada uno de los planes de estudio, así como los discursos empleados en el diseño curricular en relación con la formación en la lectoescritura académica. El artículo concluye con la importancia de integrar la lectoescritura académica en ambos idiomas a los planes de estudio de enseñanza de inglés de manera explícita para garantizar la atención en esta área fundamental de la formación profesional.

Teaching Meaningful EFL Small Talk: Exploration, Supportiveness, and Celebration
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Mugford Gerrard , Borda Andrea , Vidales Espinoza Michelle , Mora Romos Andrea , Sanchez Mayoral Daniela Aketzalli
Published: May 2024

Whilst teaching and learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) rightly focuses on meaningful and purposeful transactional language use, interpersonal language is often downplayed or given cursory treatment even though it is an equally essential and perhaps even more fulfilling dimension of target language interaction. Interpersonal language as expressed through small talk, for instance, represents an important personal and interactional resource for establishing, developing, and maintaining relationships. However, small talk is often reduced to formulaic categorisation or practised through routinised communicative functions. To understand how foreign language users engage in small talk, a qualitative study was carried out through conducting participation-observations. The results of this study reveal the exploratory, celebratory, and supportive relational dimensions to small talk and illustrate how such insights can be exploited in FL teaching and learning. In this article, we argue that small talk should be appreciated, valued, and accentuated not only for its ability to enhance meaningful and productive communication but also needs to be exploited for its exploratory, celebratory, and supportive interactive function.

Pada era kontemporer ini, internet telah menjadi suatu elemen yang tak terpisahkan dan menjadi kebutuhan esensial bagi seluruh lapisan masyarakat, tak terkecuali dari kalangan anak-anak hingga orang tua. Dalam konteks kehidupan sehari-hari, internet digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti aktivitas pekerjaan, proses pembelajaran, transaksi berbelanja, dan beragam fungsi lainnya. Meskipun terdapat berbagai manfaat yang dapat diperoleh melalui pemanfaatan internet, perlu diakui bahwa penggunaannya juga membawa risiko tertentu, seperti potensi kecanduan dan penyebaran informasi yang tidak valid. Oleh karena itu, menjadi suatu keharusan bagi para pengguna internet untuk menjalankan aktivitasnya dengan penuh kebijaksanaan dan tanggung jawab. Dalam konteks ini, perlu ditekankan bahwa pengguna internet, terutama anak-anak usia sekolah dasar, mungkin belum sepenuhnya mampu menggunakan internet secara bijak. Hal ini disebabkan oleh keterbatasan dalam hal kematangan mental, pola pikir, dan kedewasaan dalam berperilaku. Sebagai contoh, di lingkungan Sekolah Dasar Islam Bilingual Annisa, sebagian besar siswa telah memiliki eksposur terhadap internet, namun ada pula yang belum memahami cara menggunakan internet dengan bijak. Penting untuk dicermati bahwa penggunaan internet yang tidak terkontrol dapat berpotensi mengekspos anak-anak terhadap konten yang tidak pantas, bahkan dapat mempengaruhi mereka melalui penyebaran informasi yang ambigu. Mengobservasi situasi dan permasalahan yang timbul, kami, sebagai penulis, bermaksud memberikan bantuan kepada anak-anak Sekolah Dasar Islam Bilingual Annisa dalam meningkatkan pemahaman mereka terkait penggunaan internet secara bijak
