Published: January 2023

The purpose of this research is to analyze the knowledge of English Studies students about American culture. Quantitative research was carried out at Can Tho University (CTU), one of the most prestigious universities in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The participants are 50 English Studies students from the Faculty of Foreign Languages (Course 45) who have studied a high-quality program. The questionnaire was used to measure their understanding of American culture in everyday communication. Additionally, students learn about the influences of American culture by seeing how they use it in their speech. The findings indicated that most participants had a basic understanding of American culture, which was demonstrated by their regular queries about American culture through a variety of information sources. The use of American culture in communication is also extremely common at the same time. Based on the findings, a variety of targeted strategies have been suggested to assist students in selecting the most appropriate perspective of American culture and avert challenges or misconceptions that can result in abuse. American culture is overused to the detriment of the nation.

PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF EFL TEXTBOOKS: THE EXPLICIT REPRESENTATION OF SPEECH ACTS IN SENIOR HIGH TEXTBOOKS IN CHINA
Authors: Jiang Shichang , Deng Lingling
Published: January 2023

This article reports on a quantitative and qualitative analysis of a series of seven senior high English textbooks used in China with a particular focus on their representation of speech acts. The detailed analysis focused specifically on the extent to which speech acts are covered, the range and distribution of speech act, and whether adequate contextual and meta-pragmatic information is provided to facilitate the learning of speech acts. The findings show that speech acts are still under-represented in the seven books. The range of speech acts is rather limited, some highly-conventional speech acts are excluded, and the distribution of speech acts across textbooks is neither patterned nor justified. It seems that the authors contrived textbooks based on their native intuitions rather than research-informed data. Although apparent change takes place in the availability of a repertoire of linguistic structures for most speech acts, the way speech acts presented in the seven textbooks still falls short of ideal expectations. The textbooks attempt to simplify speech act instruction to lists of grammatical structures and obscure the complex context-dependent nature of speech act realization. Little or no information about the contextual variables is explicitly provided when a particular speech act is embedded in model dialogues, nor is there adequate meta-pragmatic explanation with respect to the appropriate realization or level of formality of different linguistic structures in various social contexts. The implications of these results for educational managers, textbook developers, and teachers will be mentioned.

Authors: Sang Nguyen Thai Hoai , Dan Thai Cong
Published: January 2023

The study focused on seven (7) task-based activities, including (1) making film, (2) making portfolio, (3) group presentation, (4) library search, (5) paper display, (6) making a gift, and (7) literary gala which was applied in two British-American Literature courses such as Introduction to Literature and Introduction to Literary Criticism. A thirty-three-item questionnaire was administered to investigate the effects of those task-based activities on students’ involvement. The interviews for students and teachers were employed to examine students’ perceptions of their involvement in those task-based activities and discover teachers’ observations of students’ involvement in their class. The study sample consists of 120 EFL high-quality students who have taken the two courses of Introduction to Literature and Introduction to Literary Criticism in their curriculum. The findings revealed that students were involved in task-based activities to a significant extent and students had positive perceptions toward their task-based performances. There found a medium correlation between the extent of task-based activities' impacts on students' involvement and students’ perception of their involvement. The crosstabulation signified that the Introduction of Literature course required students to do more task-based activities than the Introduction to Literary Criticism course.

A CRITICAL REALIST INSPIRED MULTILEVEL RESEARCH METHOD: COMBINING NETNOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS TO STUDY CONSUMER BEHAVIOR IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES
Authors: Baptista N.
Published: January 2023

Framed by the philosophy of critical realism, this methodological article proposes a research design involving a case-study approach that combines netnography with social network analysis to study consumer behavior and social interactions in online communities. This research strategy holds to a critical realist stratified emergent ontology, in which the empirical domain, comprising the experiences and perceptions of consumers, is qualitatively analyzed through a form of ethnography adapted to the online environment. The actual domain is explored through a quantitative method based on graph theory that investigates structure and agency processes by analyzing the patterns of social interaction. It is argued that this dualist approach allows researchers to inquire into the deepest level of reality or the real domain and to focus on structures and generative mechanisms as objects of inquiry. The philosophical reasoning for combining netnography and social network analysis is discussed as well as the quality of the research work in terms of reliability, validity, and potential for generalization.

FACTORS THAT DISCOURAGE HIGHLY EDUCATED WOMEN FROM BEING ENTREPRENEURS
Authors: Nani Gwendoline Vusumuzi , Mathwasa Joyce
Published: January 2023

Men have traditionally dominated the entrepreneurial arena because women's expected roles have traditionally been focused on marriage and the household. Despite accounting for more than half of the population, the majority of women are excluded from the formal business environment. Their contribution to the business is primarily concentrated in the areas of crafts, hawking, personal services, and retail. However, the entrepreneurial landscape has shifted, with women becoming the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs, although anecdotal evidence suggests that highly educated women's participation in business is low. The goal of this study was to find out, if any, factors that discourage highly educated women from being entrepreneurs. The study was situated in the interpretivist paradigm, with twenty carefully chosen highly educated Zimbabwean women responding to emailed semi-structured questionnaires that were thematically analysed. The study found out that the factors that discourage highly educated women from being entrepreneurs included high societal expectations of educated women, negative attitudes towards entrepreneurship, male chauvinism, salaried job security and risk aversion. This study focused on this often-overlooked group of women who, if properly groomed, can make a significant contribution to society. The implication of the study was that women with high academic qualifications needed to develop positive mind sets towards entrepreneurship and serve as role models for prospective women entrepreneurs.

Authors: Poku Adjoa Afriyie
Published: January 2023

Dipo is a puberty rite performed for adolescent girls with an average of 18 years and above into adulthood in Lower Manya Krobo Municipality. Dipo rite inculcates cultural values into the initiates and preserves cultural heritage. However, the reduction in age and nudity associated with the practice could put initiates at high risk of STDs including HIV transmission. The purpose of the study was to examine the cultural sustainability of Dipo and associated HIV risk in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality in Ghana. A purposive sampling technique was used to select participants and interviewed them with the guide of an interview schedule. The findings of the study revealed that risk factors of HIV transmission include cultural, social, individual, and institutional risks. The study also found that cultural sustainability indicators associated with Dipo puberty rites include cultural heritage, vitality, diversity, locality, eco-resilience, and eco-education and civilization. While cultural heritage, vitality, diversity, locality and eco-education, and civilisation were found to sustain Dipo rite, eco-cultural resilience poses a risk of HIV transmission. The implication of this finding is that the performance of Dipo rite is a worthy cultural practice. It is recommended that innovative ways should be adopted to sustain the rite and reduce its associated HIV risk.

"IT'S HARD TO BE EVERYTHING AT ONCE": ISRAELI ARAB WOMEN BALANCING WORK, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ROLES / קשה להיות הכל בכל עת: נשים ערביות ישראליות מגשרות בין קריירה, משפחה וקודים חברתיים
Authors: Abbas Randa Khair , Pataki Sherri P. , Folberg Abigail M. , Juarez Clayton , Ryan Carey S.
Published: January 2023

This research provides insight into the experiences of employed Arab women living in a traditional, Middle Eastern culture where most women (nearly 65%) are not employed outside the home. 287 Arab Israeli women reported on their personal experiences of balancing a career with family and community responsibilities from within a culture where women’s employment is non-normative and subject to significant social disapproval. Quantitative analyses indicated that the women perceived more benefits (role expansion) than costs (role conflict) related to their employment even within the context of their parenting role. Qualitative data provided a more nuanced account as the women described both benefits and costs associated with possessing multiple roles, some they perceived as unique to their culture, others they perceived as being universal for all women. This work highlights the importance of understanding work-family balance and perceptions of maternal employment within non-Western, traditional cultures where women’s entry into the workforce is more recent and non-normative. Our participants’ voices add to the literature significantly by examining the real-time experiences of women who are actively breaking traditional gender norms from within a traditional society and who are on the front lines of societal change.

Actually, how is the discourse of Islamic religious intellectuals in Indonesia and the Middle East?. This study uses the historical method. This research informs that first, the contact between Indonesian Islamic intellectuals and the Middle East has been going on since Islam entered the archipelago. Second, Islamic intellectuality in Indonesia is increasingly developing when the Muslims of the archipelago travel to the Middle East through the haj pilgrimage, study and settle in the Middle East, then develop it in the archipelago. Third, Islamic religious intellectuals in Indonesia who emerged after the Islamization process were Sufi schools. Fourth, then this Islamic intellectuality continues to develop which leads to fiqh such as the syafi'i school of thought, as well as the flow of faith such as ahlus sunnah wa al jamaah. Fifth, Islamic intellectuals in Indonesia entered the modern era with figures such as young people in Minangkabau such as Haji Muhammad Djamil Djambek, Haji Abdullah Ahmad, Haji Abdul Karim Amrullah and Haji Muhammad Thaib Umar, who have long been exploring knowledge in the Middle East.

Published: January 2023

In Abdurrahman Wahid's perspective, Islamic education is an inseparable unit because each other has a reasonably close relationship in developing future Islamic education. According to Gus Dur, Islamic education is a process to deliver students with sufficient provisions and think critically throughout their lives. In Gus Dur's perspective, Islamic education is a combination of traditional Islamic education thinking and Islamic thought adopted by modern Western thought so that it can give birth to an educational system in the concept of renewal, by the demands of the times. The purpose of Islamic education to humanize humans is an absolute thing. Education in Islam is a series of processes of human empowerment towards being active (maturation), to carry out the human function that is carried out as a servant before the creator and as a custodian (caliphate) in the universe. Thus, the ultimate goal of Islamic education is to form students' self to fit the nature of their existence.

Authors: Heliany Ina , Sihotang Muhenri
Published: January 2023

The problem of meeting the sexual needs or biological needs of prisoners is a problem that is often the cause of chaos in prisons. The non-channeling of these needs sometimes causes the inmate's emotions to become uncontrollable. In Indonesia, some provisions allow married prisoners to gather with their families through CMK (Family Visiting Leave) as stipulated in the Decree of the Minister of Justice of the Republic of Indonesia Number: M.01-PK.03.02 of 2001 concerning Family Visiting Leave for Prisoners. This regulation provides an opportunity for married inmates to go to their family's residence for 2 (two) days or 2 x 24 hours to allow the married prisoner to meet his sexual needs while taking time off. However, in practice, these regulations have yet to be maximized because this is often used by officers and has become a topic of discussion in the mass media. Various opinions and studies mention the need for prisoners to be given this right, one of which is the Conjugal Visit policy. Conjugal Visit is also often referred to as the "Romance Chamber". Based on this, researchers are interested in researching how the Indonesian Law Regulation system regulates conjugal visits. The method used is the Normative Juridical method. They are namely answering problems through literature both primary, secondary and tertiary. The assumption found is that Cobjugal Visit has yet to be regulated and has no legal umbrella. However, this is a basic right for every human being having his status, whether he is a Prisoner or a free man.
