This paper will conclude with some beginning steps that can be undertaken by teachers who want to implement a more critical approach to teaching.
IMPROVING THE GRAMMATICAL ACCURACY OF THE SPOKEN ENGLISH OF INDONESIAN INTERNATIONAL KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS
Authors: Gozali Imelda , Harjanto Ignatius 
Published: December 2020

The need to improve the spoken English of kindergarten students in an international preschool in Surabaya prompted this Classroom Action Research (CAR). It involved the implementation of Form-Focused Instruction (FFI) strategy coupled with Corrective Feedback (CF) in Grammar lessons. Four grammar topics were selected, namely Regular Plural form, Subject Pronoun, Auxiliary Verbs Do/Does, and Irregular Past Tense Verbs as they were deemed to be the morpho-syntax which children acquire early in life based on the order of acquisition in Second Language Acquisition. The results showed that FFI and CF contributed to the improvement of the spoken grammar in varying degrees, depending on the academic performance, personality, and specific linguistic traits of the students. Students with high academic achievement could generally apply the grammar points taught after the FFI lessons in their daily speech. Students who were rather talkative were sensitive to the CF and could provide self-repair when prompted. Those with lower academic performance generally did not benefit much from the FFI lessons nor the CF.
INTEGRATING EIL PEDAGOGY IN A PRE-SERVICE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
Authors: Zacharias Nugrahenny T. 
Published: December 2020

Among the existing pedagogies to teach English, many scholars have claimed that English as International Language (EIL) pedagogy is the most suitable pedagogy to the changing sociolinguistic landscape of English and English users. Despite such strong claims, little is actually known on how EIL pedagogy is experienced by teachers. The present article documented the experience of ten bilingual English student-teachers (BESTs) on practicing EIL pedagogy in a Microteaching course and during the teaching practice. Data were collected primarily from a focus group discussion and three individual interviews. The findings of the study indicated the complexity of practicing EIL pedagogy in the classroom. BESTs were enthusiastic about EIL pedagogy that they voluntarily decided to continue practicing the pedagogy during the teaching practice. Despite the enthusiasm in practicing EIL, the study points to the limited understanding BESTs have of EIL pedagogy when it relates to setting pedagogic models. Although some BESTs did attempt to bring local Englishes into the classroom, it seems they continue to perceive Native English Speakers (NES)/standard English as the desirable pedagogical models. The paper ends with specific suggestions for preservice teacher education program to better prepare BESTs to teach English in the era of World English particularly in Expanding circle countries.
HOW ENGLISH TEACHERS LEARN IN INDONESIA: TENSION BETWEEN POLICY-DRIVEN AND SELF-DRIVEN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Utami I. G. A. Lokita Purnamika , Prestridge Sarah 
Published: December 2020

Professional Development (PD) and Professional Learning (PL) are established terms which are used interchangeably but theoretically have notable differences. The former is formally and externally designed while the latter is more informal and self-directed. These differing characteristics have not been observed in the context where PD is normally governed by government policy. As such, there is little to no research on Indonesian English teachers’ practice, preferences and dispositions for PD or PL. A qualitative study was conducted involving four English teachers from Indonesia who demonstrated active participation in professional development and professional learning activities. Developmental interviews were the main source of data. The study showed distinct variance in these teachers’ preference and action for PL through online networks, self-chosen PD and knowledge-sharing interactions with their colleagues. The study observed compliant dispositions and indifferent dispositions towards school PD policy. The study suggests the need to shift compliancy and policy measures from formal school based professional development to include online professional learning opportunities that the teachers initiate, with the integration of both approaches needing further research and development.
￼ER IN TAIWAN: ￼SEARCHING FOR FERTILE GROUND
Authors: McCollister Michael 
Published: December 2020

Taiwan’s National Development Council recently announced plans for the country to become bilingual by the year 2030. However, the Council did not lay out a clear road map for how this major accomplishment is to be achieved, and the curriculum presently in place does not seem to meet the challenge. This article will review the current status of English education in Taiwan as well as extensive reading’s under-utilized role in the present curriculum. It will then look at how ER is currently being implemented at one major university on the island and will conclude by arguing that, regardless of the kinds of curricular changes the Ministry of Education decides to adopt, extensive reading deserves an intrinsic role in the new design.

Discursos sobre a Tortura de Mulheres Grávidas durante a Ditadura Militar
Authors: COSTA JÚNIOR JOSÉ VERANILDO LOPES DA 
Published: December 2020

Em diversas fontes, tais como a história, a literatura e as artes, a ditadura foi denunciada por atentar contra os direitos humanos, através de práticas de violência em desacordo com a dignidade humana. Muitos foram os instrumentos de tortura, como o choque elétrico, o ‘pau de arara’ e o afogamento. Neste texto, além de discorrer sobre as práticas de tortura direcionadas aos sujeitos que se opuseram ao regime militar, analisaremos os depoimentos de três mulheres grávidas: Maria Barros dos Santos, Márcia Bassetto Paes e Helena Pignatari, disponíveis para acesso público no relatório da Comissão Nacional da Verdade (2014), sob a ótica da representação discursiva, de Adam (2011), vinculada à Análise Textual do Discurso. As análises apontam para a construção de narrativas que, ao falar de si, relatam uma série de violências cometidas pelos militares, causando traumas e provocando o aborto dessas mulheres.Palavras-chave: Ditadura. Tortura. Mulher e gênero. Gravidez.Discourses on the Torture of Pregnant Women During Military Dictatorship ABSTRACTIn various sources, such as history, literature and the arts, the dictatorship was denounced for violating human rights, through practices of violence at odds with human dignity. There were many instruments of torture, such as the electric shock, the ‘macaw stick’ and drowning. In this text, in addition to discussing the torture that was practiced directed at subjects who opposed the military regime, we will analyze the testimonies of three pregnant women: Maria Barros dos Santos, Márcia Bassetto Paes and Helena Pignatari, available for public access in the report of the National Commission of the truth (2014), from the perspective of discursive representation, by Adam (2011), linked to Textual Discourse Analysis. The analyzes point to the construction of narratives that, when talking about themselves, report a series of violence committed by the military, due to the fact that they caused trauma and the abortion of these women.Keywords: Dictatorship.

A Vivência do Sagrado em Mário de Carvalho: uma Leitura Experiencial
Authors: PEREIRA RENATA FRANÇA 
Published: December 2020

Propõe-se a análise do romance Um deus passeando pela brisa da tarde, do português Mário de Carvalho, lançado em 1994. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica, foi possível desenvolver variadas linhas de análise, sendo privilegiado aqui o diálogo interdisciplinar entre a literatura e a geografia para a investigação da relação do homem com os seus entornos. Através de análise sistemática da literatura, lançamos mão da obra de teóricos expoentes nos estudos sobre o espaço, dentre os quais citamos Yi-Fu Tuan (2012 e 2013) com seus conceitos basilares de topofilia, espaço, lugar e experiência, para elucidar como se dão as relações homem-espaço no romance, evidenciando, assim, a literatura sob enfoque fenomenológico. O filósofo Gaston Bachelard (2008) traz ainda sua proposta de topoanálise para aclarar as investigações propostas acerca dos entornos da cidade fictícia de Tarcisis.Palavras-chave: Experiência. Religiosidade. Um deus passeando pela brisa da tarde. Mário de Carvalho.The Experience of the Sacred in Mário de Carvalho: an Experiential ReadingABSTRACTWe propose the analysis of the novel A god strolling in the cool of the evening, by Portuguese writer Mário de Carvalho, published in 1994. Bibliographical research made it possible to develop several lines of work, from which we chose the interdisciplinary dialogue between literature and geography to investigate man's relationship with his surroundings. Through a systematic analysis of the literature, we have used the work of leading researchers, among which we mention Yi-Fu Tuan (2012 and 2013) with his imperative concepts of topofilia, space, place and experience, to clarify how the man-space relations in the novel come to be, thus pointing to a phenomenological approach of literature. Philosopher Gaston Bachelard (2008) also presents his proposal of topoanalysis to clarify the proposed investigations about the environments of the fictional city of Tarcisis.Keywords: Experience.

Repentinas como estrategia didáctica para el desarrollo de la creatividad en los procesos iniciales de la enseñanza de arquitectura
Authors: Salazar-Ceciliano Enmanuel , Alvarado-Retana Jeannette , Chang-Albizurez Dominique 
Published: December 2020

La creatividad es una de las más reconocidas habilidades de los arquitectos, y, por tanto, su desarrollo figura como uno de los principales retos durante el proceso de aprendizaje. Teorías como las que comparan el proceso creativo con una caja negra han sido apoyadas durante décadas. En esta, el diseñador es capaz de obtener resultados satisfactorios, pero no es capaz de fundamentar los insumos que lo llevaron al objeto final o replicar el procedimiento en otro proyecto. Por el contrario, también han surgido métodos que definen la creatividad como una caja transparente, donde existe una rigurosa investigación previa que le permite al diseñador llenarse de recursos y variables que dan partida a su proceso proyectual.
Partiendo de este enfoque, es común ver a los estudiantes, principalmente a los de primeros años, agobiados ante el papel en blanco y diversos factores que aún no pueden interpretar o relacionar. Por tanto, este documento plantea una metodología que implementa las repentinas, o ejercicios rápidos en clase, como una herramienta para que los estudiantes tomen decisiones de diseño sustentadas en su investigación previa y den partida a su proceso creativo. Lo planteado se basa en la experiencia llevada a cabo en el Laboratorio de Arquitectura II de la Escuela de Arquitectura y Urbanismo del Tecnológico de Costa Rica durante el segundo semestre del 2019.
CoViD-19, capital humain et crise Ã©conomique en Afrique subsaharienne : une analyse prospective
Authors: Geoffroy Nkwenka Nyanda Patrick , Daniel Ngassa Nya Yve , HervÃ© Sonwa Dongue Ghislain , Romuald Temomo Wamba , Ladifatou Gachilie 
Published: December 2020

Depuis quelques mois, le monde fait face Ã une grave crise sanitaire liÃ©e Ã la pandÃ©mie de la CoViD-19. Cette crise menace de faire trÃ©bucher lâ€™Afrique subsaharienne en inversant les progrÃ¨s Ã©conomiques quâ€™elle a rÃ©alisÃ©s ces derniÃ¨res annÃ©es. Lâ€™objectif de cet article est de mener une Ã©tude prospective des effets Ã©conomiques de la pandÃ©mie de la CoViD-19 en Afrique subsaharienne, sur la base dâ€™une analyse de la thÃ©orie de la croissance endogÃ¨ne (capital humain), des rÃ©sultats des travaux empiriques sur le lien santÃ©-croissance et des prÃ©visions axÃ©es sur les scÃ©narios projetÃ©s par les organismes internationaux (le FMI, notamment) et les Ã©tudes antÃ©rieures. Selon le FMI (2020), cette pandÃ©mie entrainera une contraction du taux de croissance de 1,6% en Afrique subsaharienne en 2020. Pour faire face Ã cette crise sanitaire et Ã©conomique, la prioritÃ© selon le FMI (2020) est dâ€™accroÃ®tre les capacitÃ©s et les dÃ©penses de santÃ© pour sauver des vies et contenir la pandÃ©mie. Par ailleurs, pour rÃ©pondre aux importants besoins de financement engendrÃ©s, tous les partenaires du dÃ©veloppement devraient apporter leur soutien, en plus dâ€™allÃ©ger la dette des pays les plus vulnÃ©rables de cette sous-rÃ©gion. Les politiques budgÃ©taires, monÃ©taires et financiÃ¨res doivent Ãªtre orientÃ©es vers la protection des groupes vulnÃ©rables en attÃ©nuant les pertes Ã©conomiques et en soutenant la reprise.
For the past few months, the world has been facing a serious health crisis linked to the CoViD-19 pandemic. This crisis threatens to trip subSaharan Africa by reversing the economic progress it has made in recent years. The objective of this article is to conduct a prospective study of the economic effects of the CoViD-19 pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa, based on an analysis of the endogenous growth theory (human capital), of the results of empirical works on the link between health and growth and forecasts focusing on the scenarios projected by international organizations (the IMF, in particular) and previous studies. According to the IMF (2020), this pandemic will lead to a contraction of the growth rate of 1.6% in sub-Saharan Africa in 2020. To deal with this health and economic crisis, the priority according to the IMF (2020) is to increase health capacities and spending to save lives and contain the pandemic. In addition, to meet the significant financing needs generated, all development partners should provide support, in addition to reducing the debt of the most vulnerable countries in this sub-region. Fiscal, monetary and financial policies must be geared towards protecting vulnerable groups, by mitigating economic losses and supporting the recovery.
Looking into the Governance of a Public Service Organization in Malta
Authors: Cacciattolo Karen 
Published: December 2020

The study presented in this paper identified the type of synergy and relationship that exists between the employees and other stakeholders of a public service organization in Malta entrusted with cultural and artistic activities. Evidence was gained from indepth interviews and a total of sixty participants took part in the study, which employed a qualitative research design. A methodology based on an inductivist approach was used to explore the participantsâ€™ experiences, thoughts and opinions. Collected data, which was transcribed and converted to text, was analyzed by using the N-VIVO Qualitative Data Analysis software. In general, the governance as it stands today seems to be â€˜righteousâ€™. Employees are satisfied with their job and stakeholders are proud to be working for the organization. However, no one knows what the mission statement of the organization is or whether it exists and thus, the mission needs to be clearly and continuously communicated to all. In addition, even though everyone seems to know what the organization stands for, no one knows the exact goals and objectives, and thus, these are required to be rephrased and communicated more to all. With regards to the relationship, synergy and communication between all parties, in general it seems to be good: the weekly meetings between the management and subordinates are of benefit, and there is a cordial relationship between all parties. However, there needs to be more communication with the team of the creative director. Also, more information on the team of the creative director needs to be made visible to the Management Team and the public alike. As regards to the Board of Directors, employees and stakeholders are questioning the suitability and necessity of some of the directors acting in their own capacity since from the study it transpired that they do not seem to be contributing much.
