Gadamer’s Hermeneutic Universality of Play: The Greatest Form of Human Play is Art and its Signification to Movement Education
Authors: Kosma Maria
Published: March 2024

Given that playful movement can be long-lasting and lead to health and well-being, the purpose of this concept-based paper was to showcase Gadamer’s hermeneutic universality of play, including the reasons the highest form of human play is art. Specifically, Gadamer’s universal elements of play are discussed, including its seriousness, non-purposeful nature, unique spirit, self-representation, and ideality via arts. The highest form of human play takes precedence in the arts because it represents the true before a participating audience. Subsequently, artistic play is timeless like the celebration of the festival whereby its playful nature sustains over time regardless of the way it is represented and experienced. In this paper, we also showcase how performing arts like dancing, aerial dancing, and physical theater encompass the universal qualities of play which assist with understanding the links among performing arts, the love of movement, health, and well-being. Therefore, key implications in movement education are proposed, including the need to incorporate corporeally expressed artistic, creative pieces (highest form of human play) within different settings like schools, sports clubs, recreational venues, and rehabilitation centers. Keywords: Universality of play; art as the ideality of play; Gadamer; performing arts; movement education
Analyzing the Efficiency of Passing Networks in Soccer
Authors: Leela Jeffrey , Rahaman Karim , Comissiong Donna M. G.
Published: March 2024

This article explores the passing networks for the most used team formations of Manchester United and Chelsea during the 2016/2017 Premier League Season. A passing matrix is created for each team which distributes the average passes between players in a game. This facilitates the calculation of three centrality measures complementary to those previously explored by (López-Peña and Touchette 2012). These measures unlock hidden details about the strengths and weaknesses within the networks. Such include the extent to which a player stays or leaves his position, the ability of a player to affect the game through penetration, and a player’s pass distribution evenness within the team. The optimal assignment for each network is also determined by applying the Travelling Salesman Problem, thereby establishing the least number of passes that keeps all players within each team connected. Useful knowledge can be obtained from this analysis - to inform coaching staff and enhance the overall level of play. Keywords: territorial, penetration, balance, optimal-assignment, team-connectivity
Foreign Players in the Greek Football League: Evidence from the 2023-24 Regular Season
Authors: Papanikos Gregory T.
Published: March 2024

After the Bosman ruling of the European Court of Justice in 1995 and the freedom of movement of football players that followed, professional football clubs have become a modern Tower of Babel. The Greek Football League is not only not an exception but leads the relevant list of the highest percentage of expatriates in its first division. This paper uses descriptive statistics to showcase the extent of the use of foreign players in the world of football, with an emphasis on the Greek professional football league. Descriptive evidence from professional football clubs in 31 European countries shows that there is a non-linear association between the percentage of foreign players and the average age of players. There also exists a negative non-linear association between the percentage of foreign players and club-trained players. In the Greek football league, the use of foreign players improves the results as measured by the points gained during the 2023-24 season. It is found that a 10% increase in the number of foreign players results in a 14% increase in the number of points gained.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to dig deeper into the role of prejudice in the civil law system in Indonesia, by focusing on its definition, types, and impact on judges' decisions. This study specifically discusses the use of suspicion in Decision Number 10/Pdt.G/2018/PN. End, as a case that marks the importance of the role of allegations in resolving civil law disputes. Using normative juridical methods, this study elaborates and examines allegations based on provisions in Burgerlijk Wetboek and HIR, as well as paying attention to secondary legal materials to enrich discussion and analysis of related judicial practices. The findings of this study confirm that the allegation not only acts as prima facie evidence but also reverses the burden of proof that must be borne by those who deny it. This is evidenced by an analysis of the role of allegations in the case that is the focus of the study, showing that the judge has the flexibility to formulate allegations from the facts proven at trial. However, the allegation must meet the criteria set out in Article 173 HIR and Article 1922 of the Civil Code to be considered valid and adequate as evidence.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Epidemiological studies have been showing that caries is the main reason for tooth loss. But nowadays, it seems to show an increasing trend of tooth loss due to periodontal reasons rather than caries. The retention of natural teeth can improve the quality of life by maintaining the ability to chew and digest food. Thus, directly or indirectly periodontitis leading to tooth loss affects quality of life.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of tooth loss in periodontitis patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was done in Department of Periodontology and Oral Implantology from June 2023 to September 2023 after obtaining ethical clearance from institutional review committee. Study participants were patients diagnosed as periodontitis according to world workshop in periodontics 2017 classification and prevalence of tooth loss was recorded according to the history of mobile tooth. Poor prognosis and hopeless prognosis were counted as to be extracted tooth in the study. Collected data were entered into the excel sheet and further statistical analysis was done using SPSS v.20.

Results: Mean of tooth loss due to periodontitis was found to be 3.74±3.285 and tooth to be extracted is 1.94±1.884.  

Conclusion: As the age increases number of tooth loss increases, likewise current smokers have more amount of tooth loss than that of former and nonsmokers. Likewise, mandibular anterior region was most common for prevalence for tooth loss.

Published: March 2024

Micro-hydro power plants (MHPs) and wind power plants are popular sources of renewable energy in rural areas. Their presence in abundance and in proximity makes it convenient to consider the micro-grid system as a viable technical solution. Most MHPs have either AC Voltage Controller based Electronic Load Controllers (ACVC-ELC) or Discrete resistance type Electronic Load Controller (D-ELC) for frequency control, while wind generators have inverter based controller. When these power plants with different controllers are operated in parallel, this leads to an unstable operation. However, rather than operating with their individual load controllers, if these plants are governed with a central D-ELC, the operation becomes stable.

Published: March 2024

The advancement in technology has impelled entities to use websites for communication. Some websites such as result publication sites usually have low traffic flow except on days like result publication. The sudden spike in traffic flow makes the websites respond slow or even crash thus requiring a dynamic allocation of servers. This project, “Decentralized, On Demand Server System Using Smartphones”, is designed and implemented to use smartphones as on-demand servers for hosting websites. The system consists of three components: ‘System Website’ controls the overall system and ‘Smartphones’ act as servers for the ‘Client Websites’ that are to be hosted. Smartphones can be registered and become servers/hosts using a mobile application. A client website is first uploaded to the system and distributed to the registered smartphones. When an end-user requests a website, the request is redirected by the System Website to the smartphone which holds the requested site. A connection is established where the smartphone hosts the website to the end-user. After the hosting is completed, the host becomes free. In case of network failure, a network is established using different host that makes the system reliable.

Published: March 2024

Micro Hydro Power (MHP) plants are very much successful for village electrification in Nepal with compared to many other countries in the world. Electrification in rural areas by grid extension seems economically not feasible because of high cost of transmission line and higher power loss in the transmission line. In MHP, the generator is driven by un- regulated water turbine with constant mechanical power output and the speed of the generator is controlled by using ELC. At varying consumer’s load condition, the dump load in ELC consumes excess of power generated by the generator so that total load on the generator at any instant is constant and equal to its full rating resulting in constant speed. In this paper, a new control logic is presented to utilize the wasted energy in the dump load during light load period to charge the battery and utilize it during peak load period. Simulation model of the proposed scheme is developed to study the technical feasibility of the proposed scheme.

The data is preprocessed then feature selection algorithms are applied and the best split is selected for classification. The paper compares the performance of Random Forest and Deep Neural Networks. It was observed that DNN performs best on CICIDS-2017 data to classify between different attacks on the network.
Response Reduction Factor of Steel – RC Hybrid Structure
Authors: Bhattarai Abishek , Shakya Alin Chandra
Published: March 2024

Civil Engineering structures should have sufficient strength and stiffness to control deflection and prevent possible collapse of the structure during a seismic event. The design force levels currently specified by most seismic codes are calculated by dividing the base shear for elastic response by the response modification factor (R). Seismic codes consider a reduction factor in designing the loads in order to cause the structure to enter into the nonlinear behavior region and then use the advantages of its energy dissipation. The seismic response of such mixed structure having different structural system at different floor levels is entirely different to the response of the pure steel or RC structure. During an earthquake excitation, upper steel stories behave as a structure built upon a fixed base RC structure. So, the response of such structure needs to be studied and the computation of appropriate response reduction factor is required in order to minimize the risk.

Published: March 2024

Climate change has become an issue of global concern in recent years. No country is immune to the impact of such change. Unrestricted emission of greenhouse gases resulting in global warming and challenging the earth’s ecosystem has threatened the very survival of mankind. Nepal, a mountainous country with rugged geographical terrain of varying altitudes, has become highly vulnerable to the impact of climate change on the living conditions of people and their livelihoods based on natural resources. Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, addressing the 28th meeting of the Conference of Parties (COP) in Dubai last year, presented the plight of the country and forcefully pleaded for global partnership and international cooperation to cope with the climate change-induced crisis affecting the world, in particular, Least Developed Countries like Nepal with low adaptation.
Historical Analysis of Nepal’s International Relations from a Defence Perspective
Authors: Thapa Rabi Raj
Published: March 2024

Nepal has a track record of being one of the oldest as well as ever sovereign and independent nations of the world. Today, Nepal’s international relations is going through a critical and vulnerable phase. One of the main reasons for this may be that Nepal abruptly abandoned and stopped learning from the deeds of the founding heroes and has not been able to chart and steer an effective national policy strategy in its international relations. In the past, many of the rulers used to be kings and military generals and they had adopted hard power as their main instruments. Today, Nepal cannot think of hard power but rather soft power and smart power. At this point, it would be pertinent to reflect on Nepal’s past international relations policy strategy so it may help to understand the value and role of national security policy strategy as an integral part of successful international relations in the future. This paper has tried to examine the international relations of contemporary Nepal from a defense perspective based on historical references.
Eyeing for External Resources: Wants and Ways
Authors: Adhikary Dileep K
Published: March 2024

External resources have shaped the making and breaking of the nations. In the past, the rulers dominated the source or provider of external resources while in the present days, the rulers (political leaders) are under the domination of resource providers (be it a government, agency or company). In the period following World War II, the United States rose to prominence politically and economically. The 21st century is seeing the rise of China. This study deals with the methods and practices relating to foreign aid and investments that have evolved and looks into their hold on Nepal. The study shows that the availability of external resources started with a goodwill approach. However, over time it has moved onto the sphere of influence of the resource providers while the governance failure has made the country more and more dependent on external resources failing to adopt safeguard measures.
Phytosociological research into the Illyrian oak–hornbeam forest on the limestone cliffs of Kupa River canyon (Kamanje, West-Central Croatia)
Authors: Jelinčić Antun , Vukelić Joso , Papković Dora
Published: March 2024

In this paper, we present 14 relevés of oak-hornbeam forest from the limestone cliffs of Kupa River canyon in ­Kamanje, West-Central Croatia. The investigated forest is part of the Natura 2000 ecological network, and it represents one of the rare remnants of climax forest in the area that is not highly influenced by anthropogenic management. Plant ­community composition was recorded using the six-degree Braun-Blanquet scale, and its relation to similar forests studied by other authors was assessed using agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Because of the abundance of limestone rocks and consequently microhabitats, the forest is very species-rich, with a total of 164 vascular species ­recorded, ranging from 42 to 80 species per relevé. The Kamanje forest belongs to the association Epimedio-Carpinetum betuli, with regard to traditional classification to the subassociation staphyletosum, and is rich in species of the Illyrian-­ -­Balkan floral geoelement. However, compared to the forests of the same association from other areas, this forest has some distinct floristic features. Among the trees, Quercus petraea is replaced by Q. robur. The herb layer is abundant with ferns, and geophytes and hemicryptophytes are much more frequent. The most distinct feature of the forest is the high abundance of ferns from the class Asplenietea trichomanis, specifically Asplenium trichomanes and Polypodium vulgare. The cluster analyses separated the Kamanje forest as a unique group in relation to all other traditional ­subassociations. The Kamanje forest could be considered as a fern-rich subass. staphyletosum. However, only after the problems of traditional classification of Epimedio-Carpinetum betuli into subassociations are resolved will the exact floristic context of the studied forest be clearer.
The effect of storage time on germination of turkish pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) seeds
Authors: Çetin Bilal
Published: March 2024

In this study, seeds of the Turkish pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) species, which is most widely distributed in Turkey, were collected from the Anamur and Mersin regions in 2005 from four elevations: 0-400, 400-800, 800-1200 and above 1200 meters (m). These seeds were stored at +2-4 ºC and germinated at temperatures of 15, 20 and 25 ºC in 2005, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020, and the effect of storage time on germination percentage (GP) was investigated. According to the general average, there was no significant change in the GP of the seeds as the storage period increased. However, the effect of storage time on GP varied according to region, elevation and germination temperature. Especially in germination at 20 °C at lower elevations, the GP did not change much at the end of 15 years or largely maintained the 2005 germination rates. In the other zones, 80% of the initial germinations were obtained in most of the zones, although there was a slight decrease at the end of the storage period. At 15 ºC, the declines in germination were very insignificant in the first years in both sections, but became significant in the following years. At 25 ºC, the decline in germination was generally higher than at other germination temperatures, and the declines started from the 5th year onwards, and at the end of 15 years, germination declined between 38.0-61.0%. As a result, after 15 years of storage of Turkish pine seeds, it was observed that at 20 ºC the GP was significantly maintained, while at other germination temperatures, the decline in germination increased as the storage period increased. In the storage of the seeds of the species, the storage period should be determined by considering the region and elevation where the seeds were collected.
Studij slučaja javnih nadmetanja prodaje drvnih sortimenata 2022. godine u Hrvatskoj i Sloveniji

Published: March 2024

Postupak prodaje drvne sirovine putem javnih nadmetanja uvriježen je postupak i svakodnevan proces u zapadnim zemljama Europe, dok u Republici Hrvatskoj dobiva sve veći značaj posljednjeg desetljeća. Iako se glavnina drvnih sortimenata koje proizvodu Hrvatske šume d.o.o. prodaje prerađivačkoj industriji prema unaprijed definiranim kvotama i cijenama kroz okvirne višegodišnje ugovore, samo se manji dio drva nudi, posebno onog izuzetne vrijednosti, putem javnih nadmetanja. U sklopu istraživanja analizirana su javna nadmetanja u Hrvatskoj održana 2022. godine po vrstama drveća i sortimentnim klasama u odnosu na početne i prodajne cijene (€/m3) te postotak ostvaren iznad početne cijene. Nadalje, uspoređene su ostvarene prodajne cijene (€/m3) u Hrvatskoj 2022. prema vrsti drva s cijenama koje su postignute na jednom javnom nadmetanju najvrjednijih trupaca u Sloveniji iste godine. Kroz rezultate istraživanja analizirano je 45 javnih nadmetanja koja su realizirana tokom 2022. godine u Republici Hrvatskoj, te jednog javnog nadmetanja prodaje najvrjednijih trupaca iz privatnih šuma u Sloveniji 2022. godine. Rezultati analize javnih nadmetanja u Hrvatskoj pokazuju da se veći prosječni postotak iznad početne cijene ostvaruje ako su drvni sortimenti razlučnije razvrstani (klasirani) unutar ponuđenih prodajnih grupa. U analiziranom razdoblju za hrast lužnjak ponuditelji su za određene grupe 12 puta dali ponudu koja je iznosila više od 2 000,00 €/m3. Dodatno, pokazalo se da za ostvarenje što veće prodajne cijene kod hrasta lužnjaka treba izbjegavati formiranje grupa koje sadrže kombinaciju furnirskih i pilanskih sortimenata (F-III). Osim hrasta lužnjaka, rekordne cijene postizao je i gorski javor koji je imao i četiri rekordne realizirane kupnje u rasponu od 2 752,92 €/m3 do 4 692,00 €/m3. Usporedno, u Sloveniji je utvrđeno da su prosječne prodajne cijene (€/m3) značajno veće za crnogorične drvenaste vrste u odnosu na ostvarene prodajne cijena na javnim nadmetanjima u Hrvatskoj. Analizom ostvarenih prodajnih cijena drvnih sortimenata na javnim nadmetanjima u Hrvatskoj 2022. godine u odnosu na početne cijene utvrđena je statistički značajna razlika što ukazuje na buduću potrebu formiranja cijena svih proizvedenih sortimentnih klasa u korak s tržišnim prilikama.

The Educational Meaning of Self-Development and Mental Awakening in A. N. Whitehead's Symbolism
Authors:   Educational Research Institute, Choi Gunsoo
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning of self-development and mental awakening in A. N. Whitehead's ‘Symbolism’ and to explore its educational implications. Whitehead calls symbolism including direct recognition(ie, causal efficacy, presentational immediacy) and symbolic reference. According to him, symbolism through direct recognition is infallible, but errors arise from symbolic reference that connects two types of perceptual experiences to symbols and meanings.
He argues that self-development and mental awakening occur in symbolic reference and criticizes two errors in education based on this. One is the education of inert ideas, which is caused by the lack of self-development in knowledge education, and the other is that there is an error in the claim that the purpose of knowledge education is to sharpen the mind. The cause of the claim is due to putting knowledge ahead of mental awakening.
Therefore, this study analyzed Whitehead's theory of symbolism and explained self-development and mental awakening. The concept of self-development and mental awakening in symbolism analyzed in this study can be used as a theoretical basis for the constrution of subjective learning focusing on the interest and curiosity of learners.

This study is a detailed description of the experience of Sri Lankan migrant workers in Bahrain, exploring the labour market exploitation after arriving in Bahrain and coping strategies.  These migrants’ labour market experiences show contrasting and negative experiences after arriving at their destinations.  The qualitative research method was utilised, drawing descriptive analysis (thematic analysis technique) of compiling data through semi-structured interviews.  Thirty in-depth interviews with Sri Lankan migrant workers, who stayed with their families in Bahrain for more than six months, were conducted using a purposive sampling technique.  The study has identified negative experiences of relationships with employers and co-workers in which migrants went through a range of exploitations.  The study revealed that the power exercised by employers and co-workers was the prominent cause behind this exploitation.  The findings have confirmed that the foremost goal of migration, earning through productive employment, has collapsed due to wage exploitation.  Finally, the study highlights acceptance of exploitation as a coping strategy that the migrants had adopted to endure with their exploitative labour market.  The information explored on the exploitation of migrant workers in Bahrain enriches the literature with a new sociological and empirical study which provides new evidence about the serious challenges that they had faced.

Authors: E Weber Hans
Published: March 2024

As the discoverer of Preproinsulin, I became interested in the other landmark insulin-related discoveries. It is a story of great science. Many Nobel prizes were given but, unfortunately, it is also a story of intrigue, deception and politics. In this article, I want to outline my own personal perspectives, opinions, and thoughts about how these discoveries came about.
PhiΦBreast New Diagnostic Techniques for Breast Cancer Detection
Authors: Tarro Giulio
Published: March 2024

Background: Today, breast cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers in women and new cases continue to increase worldwide. In order to reduce mortality, we need to detect this life-threatening disease at an earlier stage. For two years, we have conducted a study for the identification and characterization of suspicious breast lesions using a new diagnostic technique applied to ultrasonography and mammography called “PhiΦBreast.” Methods: We have conducted a study for the identification and characterization of suspicious breast lesions using a new diagnostic technique applied to mammography and ultrasonography. Ultrasound systems with high frequency probes was used, 10-15 MHz, and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT). Identification and characterization of category C4-C5 lesions of the breast with high Predictive Positive PPV value, with a new innovative method called “PhiΦBreast” using the Golden Ratio (Phi, or Φ 1.618...) Fibonacci sequence and a Predictive Algorithm, applied to the ultrasonography and mammography with subsequent deepening with cytological examination using Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC), according to evaluation criteria of the Breast Imaging Report Data System (BI-RADS) and the American College of Radiology (ACR). Usefulness of this research and the use of this new diagnostic tecnique is to detect the breast cancer in early stage. In addition to develop a classification model of the histological type identified in the section areas and the percentage of probability in relation between the Golden Ratio (Φ) and Fibonacci sequence. Results: With the use of Golden Ratio and Fibonacci sequence, applied to ultrasonography and mammography, we have experimented and developed a diagnostic map with characteristics of high probability of identifying suspicious lesions at an early stage. We examined 987 women, 55 lesions detected with PhiΦBreast pattern were classified according to BI-RADS descriptors for US-imaging, including morphologic features that had a high predictive value for the malignancy (p <0.001) This innovative diagnostic technique has shown a sensitivity of 95%, a specificity of 97%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 97%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 96%. Furthermore, with a Predictive Algorithm associated with malignant cytology after FNAC, we have classified different types of potentially life-threatening cancers for patients. Conclusion: PhiΦBreast could be an important new model diagnostic technique to be applied mammography and ultrasound for detection of malignant lesions of category C4-C5. In diagnostic imaging is fundamental to recognize predictively the characteristics of a potentially aggressive tumor. This new model could represent the cornerstone as an important contribution for early diagnosis of breast cancer.
Concept Design of a Smart Haptic Suit for a Biological Signal Recognition and Feedback to Human Body Movements
Authors: Lee Dongchan
Published: March 2024

The ultimate purpose of monitoring bio-signals in the form of individually tailored clothing is to monitor an unconstrained bio-signals during the wearer's physiological activities and provide freedom of movement, thereby eliminating inconvenience in workspace of HMI (Human-Machine Interaction) or HRI (Human-Robot Interaction), and healthcare life. In the form of smart clothing for human collaboration industries or everyday life, there is a need to provide new sensitive and high accurate functions to the wearer while also faithfully performing the functions of existing clothing. In this respect, auxetic pattern-based sensors and actuators can be said to be one of the most promising candidates to be combined with smart wearable technology. There is an emerging need to research the concepts of these new sensors and actuators and present a paradigm for clothing research on innovative smart haptic suits. Accordingly, there is a need for a concept of smart haptic system suitable to meet the conditions of sensors and actuators with improved sensitivity, conductivity, and receptivity that can have characteristics such as microporosity, flexibility, and large surface area of nano and micro web structures. When measuring a bio-signal sensing and motion feedback using an electro-active structural pattern, the signal waveform can be confirmed to have a similar signal waveform to the measured signal through direct visual evaluation, and muscle signals for each body part can be measured using a commercialized sensor. The same signal can be confirmed. Through Pearson's correlation analysis using statistical analysis techniques, signal data between nano and micro web structure-based respiration sensors and existing respiration sensors showed significant correlation with each other, indicating respiration obtained from nano and micro web-based sensors. A theoretical model which predicts the actuation stroke of the system based on the material properties of the auxetic SMM (Shape Memory Material) and bias components as well as the geometry of the metamaterial system was developed.

Published: March 2024

Amaç : İntertrokanterik femurkırıklarında intramedüller çivi tedavisi son yıllarda yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. İntertrokanterik kırıkların intramedüller tespitinden sonra mekanik komplikasyon oranları %2-13 arasındadır. Proksimal femoral çivi uygulamasının mekanik başarısızlığına ilişkin risk faktörleri arasında lag vidası konumu, uç-apeks mesafesi, redüksiyon kalitesi ve femur boynu/şaft açısı yer alır. Çalışmamız femoral çivi ucunun femoral kanaldaki konumunun mekanik başarısızlık oranlarına ve radyolojik parametrelere etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Gereç ve Yöntem : Haziran 2019 ile Eylül 2022 tarihleri arasında intertrokanterik kırık nedeniyle proksimal femur çivisi uygulanan 118 hastanın verileri analiz edildi. Hastalar femur kanalındaki proksimal femoral çivi ucunun pozisyonuna göre üç gruba ayrıldı. Ameliyat sonrası ve takip radyografilerinde uç apeks mesafesi, femur boynu/şaft açısı, redüksiyon kalitesi, lag vida konumu, kaynama süresi ve komplikasyonlar değerlendirildi.

Bulgular : Çalışmaya dahil edilen tüm hastalar değerlendirildiğinde 9 hastada femur boynundan sıyrıldığı görüldü. Medial grupta sıyrılma oranları anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (n=7, p=0,003). FNSA açısından her üç grupta da birbirinden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklar mevcuttu (
CONCEPT-BASED INSTRUCTION: A THREE-STAGE TEACHING STRATEGY FOR THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING CLASS
Authors: Rochma Anis Firdatul
Published: March 2024

A mastery of English-speaking skills is a necessary ability for language learners. However, it is found that there is a treatment of oversimplifying talk found in the English learning materials, such as English textbooks, which creates a situation for the learners to fail in placing and applying the right expressions for a wider interaction in the real-life situation. It is vital for teachers to implement a teaching strategy to initiate an innovative English learning situation. Hence, this research suggests for the implementation of Concept-Based Instruction involving three stages, the orientation stage, execution stage, and control stage, within the English-speaking class. In specific, this research intends to (1) examine the implementation of CBI strategy to improve the speaking performance of language learners, and (2) identify the language learners’ perceptions towards the implementation of CBI strategy. The methods used in this paper were quantitative and qualitative designs involving the records of learners’ speaking performance as well as the researcher’s written notes. The results of the research reported that the CBI strategy can be considered a significant method to assist learners in obtaining the courage and confidence to actively engage in English-speaking activity.
