THE INTERACTIVE ROLES OF LEXICAL KNOWLEDGE AND READING STRATEGIES ON READING COMPREHENSION PERFORMANCE
Authors: Yasin Zuriyani Md. , Ahamad Shah Mohamed Ismail 
Published: June 2019

This paper presents a study on the interactive roles of lexical knowledge and reading strategies on reading comprehension performance of ESL learners. It examines how the lexical knowledge or the reading strategies contribute to second language (L2) reading comprehension. It also investigates whether there is a relationship among the three main variables which are lexical knowledge, reading strategies and reading comprehension performance. The Survey of Reading Strategy (SORS), the Vocabulary Levels Test, a writing test and a reading comprehension test were administered to 70 students from the Public Administration Course through convenience sampling method. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the participants’ performance on the three tests and their reading strategies used as well as to assess the relationship between the three main variables of this study. On the whole, the participants reported using most of the reading strategies with high and moderate frequencies. Apart from that, it is found that, the students’ word mastery level is only 2,000 word families, which is far below the minimum level required for tertiary education. There is no correlation found between the reading strategies used and the reading comprehension achievement of the participants. On the other hand, a statistically significant relationship (r= .739, p<0.01) was found between the participants vocabulary size and reading comprehension performance. The findings of this study help both language teachers and students to acknowledge the roles of lexical knowledge and reading strategies in improving the L2 reading comprehension performance.

Published: June 2019

Since more people have become competent in English, the number of non-native English speakers continues to increase. The larger the number, the more diverse English-speaking individuals are. Consequently, there has been an emerged demand for new English pedagogies to adequately address the diversity of English-communicative encounters. The aims of English language learning in the 21st century have shifted from English interactions with native speakers to any English encounters that may involve native or non-native speakers. In response to the call of ELT transformation for the 21st century global challenges on diverse English environments, this study seeks to analyze and synthesize the ELT pedagogic countermeasures employed by the nine English teachers in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. The participants were purposively selected. The data predominantly collected from different participant groups by utilizing a semi-structured interview and focus group discussion. The derived qualitative data were then processed with content analysis. The findings revealed 6 ELT approaches that are effective for language acquisition of English classrooms in Islamic schools: (1) reconsidering new roles and functions of teachers; (2) emphasizing active learning and encouraging collaboration; (3) implementing technology; (4) employing local learning materials; (5) integrating learning to other study areas; and (6) reevaluating learners’ learning. Based on the findings, education practitioners can adapt their English teaching practices, whereas policy makers and curriculum designers can reconsider to reconceptualize national policies and curriculums in English education for Thai and other ASEAN learners to enhance their English proficiency for a higher quality global member of the 21st century.

MOVING ONWARD: TRANSNATIONALISM AND FACTORS INFLUENCING ROHINGYAS’ MIGRATION FROM BANGLADESH TO MALAYSIA
Authors: Ab.Wahab Andika , Khairi Aizat 
Published: June 2019

Continuous human rights persecutions have forced nearly one million Rohingyas to flee from Myanmar and seek refuge in Bangladesh. While their forced migration to the first asylum country of Bangladesh is inevitable, some have been compelled to move onward to other transit countries. Existing studies indicate various factors influencing cross-border activities among different segments of immigrants. They also suggest that the degree of transnationalism affects different kind of people on the move, subsequently brings about unique consequences to receiving community. In this study, we aim to determine factors contributing to the onward movement of Rohingyas from their refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh to Malaysia. We utilize the broader concept of transnationalism in order to gauge the Rohingyas’ perception and the realities they face in relation to their onward movement from Bangladesh to Malaysia. This study employed three methods of data collection namely a survey, an in-depth interview and a focus group discussion in engaging the Rohingyas in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Resulting from a two-part of data collection conducted in 2013 and 2016, we found that the onward movement of Rohingyas was mostly driven by poverty, unconducive livelihood experiences, limited access to humanitarian aid, and inadequate refugee protection in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, positive Rohingyas’ perception toward Malaysia, coupled with the availability of job opportunities have attracted them to choose Malaysia as the next asylum country. While this study enriches the existing literatures on transnationalism and onward movement of refugees, it also provides empirical evidences for humanitarian assistances in Bangladesh and Malaysia.

Authors: Chin Huan , Thien Lei Mee , Chiew Cheng Meng 
Published: June 2019

Although the impact of education policy reform could inform future policymaking initiatives, studies on education policy reform of student assessment are considered scarce. This study attempts to scrutinise the drivers, impacts, and challenges of education policy reform of the national assessment system in Malaysia based on policy documents and previous empirical studies. The findings indicated that the education policy reform of the Malaysian national assessment system is driven by the decline of pupils’ performance in international large-scale assessments. There are changes in content, format, and structure of the public examinations and assessment delivery procedures. The emergence of school-based assessment shows a paradigm shift from cognitive learning to a more holistic manner. Challenges arise included teachers’ extra workload, teachers’ readiness, lack of reference materials, and time constraints in implementing school-based assessment. Findings inferred the needs in refining the monitoring and coaching system in order to ensure the student assessment implementation does not diverge from the missions of education policy reform. This study is hoped to provide useful insights for future policymaking initiatives, particularly in Malaysia.

Authors: Ordukhanyan Emil 
Published: June 2019

In modern world various transformations have an impact on social and political processes of the society. Even cultural changes somehow depend on these transformations. Therefore, social and political phenomena need new approaches for their study, where the political culture has its proper relevance.
The article explores the theoretical and methodological foundations of political culture based on the analysis of foreign and Armenian scholars works. The behavioral, psychological, comparative and other approaches as well as methods of political culture analysis are examined.
In a result of generalization of theoretical approaches and summarizing the outcomes obtained from a comparative analysis of political culture methodologies, we can define political culture as the aggregate of political ideas, knowledge, traditions and values; as a whole of political participation and behavior models; as a relatively stable link between political consciousness and socialization, between stages and levels of political communication tools and political institutions, which defines the political process and which is expressed through the political discourse.

On the Relationship Between Thinking and World Language Modeling: Based on Old Armenian Language Materials
Authors: Khachatryan Lalik 
Published: June 2019

The analysis of the issues concerning the relationship between thinking and world language modeling showcases that linguistic modelings are at the forefront of the Old Armenian language and regulate the linguistic determinism and linguistic outlook of the society. Examinations of the Old Armenian sentence models and samples reveal that various qualitative manifestations of thinking existed in the 5th century, which are conditioned by the grammatical structure of Old Armenian, and the foreign-language influences. These were displayed both in translated literature and independent bibliographic works. Linguistic determinism as a synchronous maxim can also bear the stamp of foreign-language influences while deeply preserving the peculiarities of national mentality.

Abstract
As the number of self-service stores grows, the sales process is also changing, and the salesperson’s ability to influence the customer during his purchase is lost. This function is taken over by the packaging of goods whose task is to sell itself. The aim of the article is to present and characterize examples of selected Slovak food and beverages packaging, on which manufacturers have introduced Slovak folk motifs and specify what factor influenced manufactures to use it. This article is divided into two parts. In the first part, we present examples of folk motifs on the packaging of selected Slovak food products and alcoholic beverages. In the second part of this article, we presented the results of a structured interview with 4 managers which introduced on the Slovak market food and beverages packaging with folk motifs. The reason of application of folk motifs on packaging was that employees from this these companies are associated with folklore, patriotism and traditions. They honour the traditions of Slovak ancestors and Slovak country and are glad that the time has come when culture and traditions are preferred and supported. Companies sell Slovak products and therefore Slovak folk motifs are listed on packages their products.

Effect of Tides and Storm Surges on Storm Waves at the Northern Coastal Areas of Vietnam
Authors: Thuy Nguyen Ba 
Published: June 2019

Abstract: In this study, the effect of tides and storm surges on storm waves at the Northern coastal area of Vietnam is investigated by a coupled model of surge wave and tide (called: SuWAT). In particular, tide and storm surge are simulated by two-dimensional long wave equations taking into account the wave radiation stress, obtained from the SWAN model. The numerical was then applied to simulate storm waves and surges for typhoon Frankie (7/1996), Washi (7/2005) and Doksuri (9/2017). In the case of the super typhoon, the intensity of typhoon Washi is increased to level 16 (super typhoon level) but remains the same trajectory and operating time. The numerical results showed relatively well with observation data on storm surge and wave height. In general, the wave height is higher in the region near the coast and lower at offshore when considering the effect of tide and storm surge on storm wave. It also indicated that the effect of storm surge on storm wave is more significant than the tide. The results of the study are the basis for proposing to improve the wave forecasting technology in the study area.
Keywords: Storm wave, tides, storm surge, super typhoon.

Penggunaan ASEAN Way dalam Upaya Penyelesaian Sengketa Laut Tiongkok Selatan: Sebuah Catatan Keberhasilan?
Authors: Darmawan Arief Bakhtiar , Kuncoro Hestutomo Restu 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRAKSampai saat ini, prinsip-prinsip dalam ASEAN Way selalu mendapatkan tantangan dalam menghadapi dinamika kawasan Asia Tenggara. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengamati upaya-upaya ASEAN dalam menangani penyelesaian sengketa Laut Tiongkok Selatan dan bagaimana ASEAN Way memengaruhi upaya-upaya tersebut. Untuk menjawab rumusan tersebut, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang mengandalkan literatur-literatur akademis mengenai LTS dan dokumen-dokumen resmi ASEAN untuk memahami, menginterpretasikan, serta menyusun hasil penelitian dari fenomena sengketa LTS. Argumen penulisan dalam artikel ini adalah bahwa ASEAN merupakan organisasi kawasan yang aktif dalam penyelesaian sengketa LTS dengan berpedoman pada prinsip dan norma dalam ASEAN Way. Berdasarkan analisis terhadap data dan pembahasan, ASEAN Way merupakan pendorong yang positif dalam konteks fungsi dialog dan konsultasi damai dan bukan sebagai solusi untuk penyelesaian sengketa LTS. ASEAN berhasil menjadi sentral dalam upaya penyelesaian damai yang juga melibatkan negara-negara besar luar kawasan. Untuk menjadi sebuah solusi nyata, ASEAN Way masih memiliki tantangan karena seringkali menjadi alat Tiongkok agar ASEAN tidak melakukan intervensi atau pemaksaan kebijakan suatu negara terkait penyelesaian konflik LTS. Oleh karena itu, kolektivitas ASEAN dalam menghadapi isu LTS merupakan langkah ke depan yang perlu untuk segera diwujudkan.Kata kunci: ASEAN Way, Asia Tenggara, konstruktivisme, Laut Tiongkok Selatan, sengketa ABSTRACTUp to this point, principles in ASEAN Way have been challenged by the regional dynamics of Southeast Asia. This article seeks to observe ASEAN's efforts in handling the resolution of the South China Sea (SCS) dispute and how the principles of ASEAN Way affect those efforts. To do so, the writers use a qualitative method which relies on academic literature regarding SCS and ASEAN's official documents to comprehend, interpret, and to formulate the result of the research. This article argues that ASEAN as a regional organization has been taking an active role in SCS dispute resolution using the principles and norms of ASEAN Way. Based on the analysis, ASEAN Way is a positive drive to dialogues and peaceful consultations but not in itself a solution to end the dispute. The Way had allowed ASEAN to become central in the peaceful resolution efforts involving major powers from beyond the region. ASEAN Way, however, has its back draws one of which was being used by China to prevent ASEAN's intervention in or to dictate policy regarding the SCS dispute. Therefore, ASEAN collectivity in handling the SCS dispute should be the next step forward. Keywords: ASEAN Way, contructivism, disputes, South China Sea, Southeast Asia
