Ethiopia’s Relation with the Ottomans: From Hostility to Understanding
Authors: YIMER Nigusu Adem , CHEKOLE Belay Beyene
Published: April 2022

This study examines the long-standing hostile and distrustful relations between Ethiopia and the Ottoman Empire. The Ethio-Ottoman antagonistic relation was not coincident; somewhat, the interest of the Ottoman to supervise the political, economic, and religious life of the Red Sea and Northeast Africa regions primarily stemmed the hostility. The presence of the Portuguese in the Red-Sea region and its subsequent alignment with Ethiopia further worsened the Ethio-Ottoman belligerency. The positioning of the Ottomans with the Adal Sultanate had also complicated the Ethio-Ottoman relations and brought with them generations of distrust. This article recounts the dynamics of the Ethio-Ottoman relations, mainly focusing on the changing aspects of hostility and understanding. The paper tries to address the Ethio-Ottoman relations in three major sections. The first section of the study explains the root of the Ethio-Ottomans' hostile and distrustful relations. The second section of the paper is devoted to showing the dynamic of the essence of the Ethio-Ottoman relations in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. The last section elucidates the Ethio-Ottoman connections during the era of Sultan Abdülhamit II. The study employs an analytical, interpretive approach to analyze archival documents and secondary works of literature.

Idéologie : Facteurs de conflit et d'échec au Moyen-Orient
Authors: Ammar Asad
Published: April 2022

L'article suivant explique comment l'idéologie occidentale est un facteur majeur dans la survenance des conflits et des défaillances de l'État au Moyen-Orient. Dans cet article, l'auteur examine la perspective de l'hégémonie idéologique. L'idéologie détruit le système politique et économique qui est à l'origine des inégalités sociales, accélérant ainsi l'éclatement du conflit au Moyen-Orient. L'auteur cite en exemple la Syrie et la Libye pour prouver les facteurs moteurs du conflit. L'auteur soutient que la cause principale du conflit au Moyen-Orient est l'influence de l'idéologie occidentale qui n'a pas été acceptée à la fois par les détenteurs du pouvoir et par la société, ce qui a conduit à des divisions et même à des guerres. La démocratie est un modèle accepté dans de nombreux pays qui ne peut être appliqué au Moyen-Orient. L'auteur critique également l'échec de la mise en œuvre de la démocratie et de l'économie libérale au Moyen-Orient.

Published: April 2022

Ectopic parathyroid adenoma sometimes poses diagnostic challenge and can be a cause of persistent and recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism. Anterior mediastinum is one of the locations for ectopic parathyroid adenoma. Surgical excision is the only cure and for successful surgery, pre-operative localization is crucial. Chance of failed surgery is being increased without prior localization of the ectopic gland. The combination of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT) has got high sensitivity for accurate localization of ectopic parathyroid. On the other hand, with accurate localization surgical outcome is excellent. Here we report, successful localization and management of a case of primary hyperparathyroidism due to adenoma in anterior mediastinum in 47-year-old man.

Authors: Prakash Prakash , K S Harishanand , Harti Jayasheel I
Published: April 2022

Composite Materials have becomesa popular due to itshigh specificstrength and high stiffness to weight ratio. They found extensive applications in automobile, aerospace, defence equipment’s and other critical components. Composite plates are predominantly used as alternative materials to regular materials. In order to provide even better strength and resistance to deformation, stiffeners are attached to the composite plates thereby increasing the bending stiffness to a large extent. These stiffened panels have found principal application in aircraft wings, ship hulls and bridge decks. In this project, low velocity impact on composite plate and composite stiffened panel has been studied. Numerical models of composite plates and stiffened panels are impacted with different energies (4J, 9J, 16J) and are analysed by finite element software ABAQUS explicit and four different oblique impact angles 90◦, 60◦, 45◦and 30◦ are analysed. Different parameters such as displacement, contact force, energy absorbed were compared for both composite plates and stiffened panels. It was noted that stiffened panels offer more resistance to deformation and absorb more energy due to high stiffness. Keywords:Stiffened Panels, low-velocity impact, FE Model, ABAQUS Explicit.
Attention Based Encoder Architecture for Automatic Text Classification: A Case Study on Text-news Classification
Authors:   Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, Rajasthan, India,, Chowdhury Joydeep Sinha , Roy Tanmoy
Published: April 2022

Text classification is a classical problem of natural language processing where given texts are classified into relevant classes. Text classification techniques are extensively used in finding news categories, search engine optimization, automated textual response and many more. With the exponential growth of digital data, it is inevitable that an automatic classification of documents is needed for efficient information retrieval and document archival. Over the years, text classification problems are approached by using classical machine learning techniques like naive bayes(NB), support vector machine(SVM), logistic regression(LR), random forest(RF) and others. In this article, an Attention based deep learning (DL) model is proposed and applied to the news corpus and then the results are compared with the results of classical machine learning models. A comparative analysis of classification accuracy of the DL model with prominent models like LR, RF and NB are presented in this work.

Authors: Kalla Khyathi Lekha Manasa Ayyalasomayajula, Ayushi Yadav, P.Rakesh,
Published: April 2022

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) means the kidneys are damaged and are not filtering the blood the way they should. The primary role of kidneys is to filter extra water and waste from the blood to produce urine. If a person suffers from CKD, it means the wastes are collected inside the body which is chronic and can gradually cause damage to the kidneys in the long run. There are many causes for CKD like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease. If a particular kidney is not working, then one may notice one or more symptoms like abdominal pain, back pain, diarrhoea, fever, nosebleeds, rash, vomiting. Data Mining is one among the foremost encouraging areas of analysis with the aim of finding helpful information from voluminous knowledge of datasets. Data Mining is especially helpful in medical field when no handiness of proof favouring a treatment is found. Hence the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) dataset taken from UCI repository is analysed using different data mining classification. It is observed that LR, SVM techniques have given an accuracy of 93.8% and 94.0% respectively. The techniques RF, KNN, GNB and Voting Classifier have given an accuracy of 100% respectively. For this project, the CKD dataset has been taken from the UCI repository. Classification techniques like Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K- nearest neighbours (KNN), Random Forest, GNB and Voting Classifier are used in the project.

Authors: Pearson William S
Published: April 2022

February 2022 marks the 100th issue of the Teaching English as a Second Language Electronic Journal (TESL-EJ), set up in 1994 as the brainchild of a group of scholars who saw the need for a freely distributed electronic academic journal covering a diverse array of interests within teaching English as a second language long before the term “open access” was coined. The present study constitutes a bibliometric analysis of the first 99 issues of TESL-EJ. Through cross-sectional and historical analysis of a range of key metrics, notably the scale of its output and citations by other authors, frequency of topics explored, most productive and influential author affiliations and countries, and the extent of author collaboration, the study analyzes the growth and development of research activity as reflected in the publication’s output during the period under study. The study found that the nature of the journal’s output has evolved over the years from anecdotal practitioner reviews and thought pieces to rigorous empirical research. As a US-based journal, North American scholarship is well-represented across TESL-EJ’s output, particularly in studies contextualized in tertiary-level settings. There has been a consistent tendency towards non-specialist research topics within teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL), notably, EFL, writing, language learning, English teacher, English language learner, reflective of the journal’s large, global readership. The implications for the journal’s stakeholders, the editorial team and scholars considering submission, are discussed.

Published: April 2022

How to better prepare future bilingual teachers for foreign language learning classrooms and their challenges is a key consideration in education, a concern echoed across the world as such programmes, where curricular content is taught in a foreign language, grow in popularity. This article presents student profiles and satisfaction for the first year of an EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) teacher training model at the University of Extremadura in Spain. The goal of this programme is to offer instruction for education majors in a four-year, bilingual Bachelor’s in Primary Education (BA) programme where 50% of curricular subjects are taught in students’ native Spanish, and 50% in English. The data collected in this study revealed that first-year students in the bilingual programme have higher university admission scores than average, as well as high expectations for their linguistic progress in the programme. They are also quite motivated and indicate that the cooperative model of the programme positively impacted the experience of their first year and was a hallmark of their satisfaction overall. The positive results of the study offer insight not only onto analogous contexts in Spain but also to other countries where EMI or bilingual education is of interest.

Authors:   Ilam University, Khany Reza , Kamalvand Ayad ,   Ilam University
Published: April 2022

The importance of materials in learning and teaching has prompted a substantial number of studies on English language learning/teaching materials (ELLTM). To date, the field seems largely unstudied when it comes to identifying the focus, themes, and challenges. Hence the present study endeavored to systematically review, analyze, and synthesize the scope and the coverage of the research articles (RAs) on the ELLTM. To this end, a comprehensive literature search was conducted in the top100 journals with the highest metrics in Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) categorized under “Language and Linguistic”. The review identifies 661 studies based on the strings ‘material(s)’, ‘textbook’, ‘coursebook’, and ‘courseware’, of which 238 met the inclusion criteria. Analyses of content and statistical data indicated that the research direction has focused on three main themes: evaluation, production, and selection/adoption. The study concludes with recommendations and suggestions for future research into ELLTM.
Developing Translanguaging Stances in ESOL-Focused Teacher Education Courses: Teacher Candidates’ Beliefs about and Knowledge of Bilingualism and Bilingual Education
Authors:   Florida International University, USA, Pontier Ryan W.
Published: April 2022

The population of emergent bilingual students in the United States is growing rapidly, requiring that teachers be prepared to provide them with an effective education. Inadequate preparation of teachers to work with these students indicates the need to revise the ways that teacher education programs address this issue (Palmer & Martínez, 2013), including investigation of teacher candidates’ (TCs) beliefs and experiences. Drawing on translanguaging theory, this qualitative study used written responses to two key questions at two time points to investigate TCs’ beliefs about and knowledge of bilingualism and bilingual education. Even after experiencing a semester in a teacher education course focused on dynamic bilingualism, findings highlight TCs’ general maintenance of monolingual beliefs about bilingualism and bilingual education with some expansion into a dynamic, strengths-based perspective. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Authors:   Imam Khomeini International University, Iran, Esfandiari Rajab , Meihami Hussein ,   Imam Khomeini International University, Iran, Jahani Fatemeh ,   Imam Khomeini International University, Iran
Published: April 2022

In spite of the existence of writing courses for postgraduate students in English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) contexts, their academic writing proficiency remains low. Therefore, EFL students’ academic experiences and expectations need to be explored to identify their needs. To this end, a dynamic narrative approach was adopted to examine the academic experiences and expectations of 21 Iranian postgraduate EFL students qualitatively. The narratives were analyzed based on their plots, values, and significance, adapted from Daiute (2014). The findings revealed that EFL students linked their challenges to insufficient and improper instructions. Furthermore, they asserted that their needs are ignored, and teachers use different criteria and expectations to evaluate their writing. On the whole, students’ expectations about writing courses did not align with their actual experiences. The findings of this study about EFL students’ experiences and expectations draw curriculum designers’ and teachers’ attention to those aspects of academic writing that need to be reconsidered. Understanding the actual requirements of writing courses can bridge the gap between teachers’ and students’ expectations.

Published: April 2022

Taking into account the facilitative role of mobile-mediated communication for promoting EFL learners’ L2 development, this study investigated Iranian EFL learners’ perceptions of recast and their modified output through face-to-face, audio, and video-based mobile-mediated communication. To this end, sixty intermediate EFL learners at two different language institutes were selected. They were randomly assigned into three groups namely, face-to-face, audio- and video-based conditions. During mobile-mediated interactions in three sessions, the participants received recasts for their errors, and then listened to the recorded episodes of their incorrect utterances followed by interlocutors’ feedback via stimulated recall interviews. Afterwards, learners’ stimulated recall interviews were collected in relation to learners’ perceptions of recasts they received. The results of Chi-Square analysis revealed that the audio-based group had more accurate perceptions of recasts provided to them compared to the other two groups. Moreover, the analysis of learners’ modified output indicated no statistical significance among the three groups. The study concluded that mobile-delivered recasts can be considered as noticeable to EFL learners as the conventional face-to-face ones.

Authors:   University of South Florida, Chau Tuc , Huensch Amanda ,   University of Pittsburgh, Hoang Yen K. ,   Gia Viet English Language Center, Chau Hiep T. ,   Can Tho University
Published: April 2022

This study investigated the effects of L2 pronunciation instruction on speech intelligibility and fluency, the relationship between intelligibility and fluency, and the extent to which utterance fluency can predict perceived fluency. Participants were 30 beginning adult EFL learners who received either segmental or suprasegmental instruction. Oral data included monologues recorded at the beginning and end of an 8-week course. Speech segments were transcribed for intelligibility and rated on a 1000-point scale for fluency by 11 native speakers. They were also coded and analyzed for transcription errors and utterance fluency measures. Quantitative analyses did not reveal significant changes in intelligibility or perceived fluency as the result of instruction. However, the suprasegmental group seemed to show an upward trend in speech rate, which was found to strongly predict perceived fluency. The findings further our understanding of the effectiveness of pronunciation instruction based on an understudied population and a free response outcome measure.

Authors:   Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Chu Shin Ying , Ng Lay Shi ,   Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, McConnell Grace ,   Rockhurst University, USA
Published: April 2022

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a three-dimensional approach to professional services in which high-quality and current research evidence is integrated with practitioner expertise along with client values to inform assessment and treatment decisions. The primary objective of this study is to promote the importance of EBPs for speech-language-pathologies to their students’ clinical practices. A cross-institute collaboration on EBP in-class assignment was conducted at the National University in Malaysia and Rockhurst University in the United States. This assignment required students to choose and explore a research article online and write a synopsis of the article and reflections about its findings for clinical application. The findings show that both groups of students learned how to access EBP, and this assignment helped them better understand EBP in the field of speech language pathology. Students from the United States reported that they had more of a base of knowledge about EBP than their peers in Malaysia. Findings from this study could help the local governance and speech-language pathology associations in Malaysia and the United States and university programs in both countries understand the current practice and professional development needs of speech therapists in both countries.

Published: April 2022

This article contributes to the literature on the value of Virtual Exchanges (VEs) in the field of technology-mediated language learning. Specifically, we report on a pilot program for high school English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Slovakia and English as a Second Language (ESL) learners in Michigan, USA who engaged in a 10-week, international VE focused on media literacy. Learners in both countries collaborated on a project that involved developing and administering a survey on media literacy beliefs and practices among high schoolers at their institutions and provided feedback on their international peers’ survey designs and presentations of survey findings. Learners also worked to raise awareness about misinformation through a media literacy campaign implemented in their social media networks. To guide language educators interested in implementing VEs, we also address the technological tools that enhanced the VE program and discuss several pedagogical issues that are important to consider in VEs for language learners.

Published: April 2022

Using technology in teaching may help to meet the expectations that traditional education is unable to fulfill (Gunuç & Babacan, 2018). Therefore, in designing computer-assisted language learning (CALL), teachers may consider how technology might support standards and learning outcomes. This review focuses on educational technology standards for English language learners to evaluate the Explain Everything application. The criteria for review have been curated and adopted from the TESOL Technology Standards Framework (Healey et al., 2008). These criteria focus on performing basic functions, working collaboratively and individually, and providing opportunities to create content. Here is a list of the curated criteria: The app provides opportunities to perform basic functions on digital devices; The app provides opportunities to use technology-based productivity tools collaboratively and individually in order to enhance their language learning competence; and The app provides opportunities to create content to share online or offline. This review will be divided into three sections: first, a general description of Explain Everything is presented. In the second section, I will evaluate the program based on the criteria. In the last section, the review will provide some general recommendations for language teachers to consider if they decide to use Explain Everything.

Data-driven Learning (DDL), generally defined as the use of corpora for L2 language learning and teaching, has been touted, both theoretically and empirically, to be a promising pedagogical approach (see e.g., Boulton & Cobb’s, 2017 meta-analysis); however, its use is still confined both geographically and contextually. Despite calls for endeavours to normalise corpus-based pedagogy in L2 classes, it is often acknowledged that a limitation of DDL is that it has not made serious inroads into the L2 classroom due to the lack of appropriate materials introducing teachers and learners to corpus-based learning. Nevertheless, efforts have been made to resolve this issue, and Academic Writing with Corpora: A Resource Book for Data-Driven Learning is a step in this direction. [First paragraph of review]
