TEACHER TALK IN EFL SPEAKING LESSONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR LEARNER INVOLEMENT: A CASE STUDY AT A FOREIGN ENGLISH CENTER IN THE MEKONG DELTA, VIETNAM
Authors: Diem Bui Kieu , Thy Cao Thi Mai 
Published: March 2023

In English teaching classrooms, teacher talk plays as a communicative tool to help language learners to communicate effectively. Studies (Walsh, 2002; Xiao Yan, 2006; Cullen, 1998) have been carried out to investigate the essential role of teacher talk. This paper focuses on the purpose, frequency, and teacher talking time in speaking English language lessons. This study aimed at investigating features of teacher talk constructing and obstructing learner speaking involvement. The results show that teacher talk plays as an important role in language teaching including giving instruction and classroom management, however, the use of language in both L1 and L2 should be taken into consideration in order to maximize student learning involvement.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0025/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
PRAGMATISCHE INHALTE IN DEUTSCH ALS FREMDSPRACHE / PRAGMATIC CONTENT IN GERMAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Kuko Sara , Kovač Mirjana Matea 
Published: March 2023

<p>In diesem Beitrag wird das Konzept der pragmatischen Kompetenz analysiert und wie das Lehren und Lernen einzelner Elemente aus der Alltagssprache zur Verbesserung dieser Kompetenz beitragen kann. Der Erwerb pragmatischer Kompetenz gilt als eines der Hauptziele des Fremdsprachenlernens und gewinnt daher im Fremdsprachenunterricht an Bedeutung. In dieser Arbeit wird der Begriff der pragmatischen Kompetenz definiert und die Elemente der Alltagssprache beschrieben, die bei der Entwicklung einer natürlich klingenden Sprache bei Fremdsprachenlernenden helfen können. Pragmatische Elemente sind nicht nur wichtig, weil sie die Sprache natürlicher klingen lassen. Einige von ihnen können den Lernenden auch beim Umgang mit bestimmten kommunikativen Situationen äußerst hilfreich sein. Darüber hinaus werden drei Lehrbücher für Deutsch als Fremdsprache analysiert, die in kroatischen Schulen verwendet werden. Ziel der Analyse ist es zu untersuchen, inwieweit Elemente der Alltagssprache in DaF-Lehrbüchern vertreten sind. Es wird analysiert, welche Ausdrücke aus der Alltagssprache in Lehrbüchern vorkommen, wie oft sie vorkommen und ob das ausreicht, damit Deutschlernende sie sich ohne große Schwierigkeiten merken können.</p><p>This paper analyzes the concept of pragmatic competence and how teaching and learning individual elements of everyday language can contribute to improving this competence. The acquisition of pragmatic competence is considered one of the main goals of foreign language learning and is therefore gaining in importance in foreign language teaching. In this work, the notion of pragmatic competence is defined and the elements of everyday language that can help in the development of natural-sounding speech in foreign language learners are described. Pragmatic elements are not only important because they make the language sound more natural. Some of them can also be extremely helpful for learners in dealing with certain communicative situations. In addition, three textbooks for German as a foreign language used in Croatian schools are analyzed. The aim of the analysis is to examine the extent to which elements of everyday language are represented in DaF textbooks. It is analyzed which expressions from everyday language appear in textbooks, how often they occur and whether that is enough for German learners to remember them without great difficulty.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0202/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
UNDERSTANDING DEVELOPMENT AND PROFICIENCY IN WRITING – BOOK REVIEW
Authors: Altun Hatice 
Published: March 2023

The original and thought-provoking book “Understanding Development and Proficiency in Writing” was written by Philip Durrant, Mark Brenchley, and Lee McCallum and published in 2021 by Cambridge University Press. It comprises seven major chapters, four of which focus on key areas of language proficiency: syntax, vocabulary, formulaic language, and cohesion. The book focuses on the continual debate of evaluating and interpreting development in L1 and L2 writing and offers evidence-based and objective perspectives to explore development. It reviews almost 250 quantitative corpus linguistics (QCL) based studies spanning over 70 years, thanks to its empirical approach. The historical and theoretical overview of QCL research on written language suggests a powerful guide map to understand what is already known (and not known) about written language development. It inspires us about what to do next to evaluate and assess first and second-language writing from a more robust perspective.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0028/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
INVESTIGATING THE HISTORICAL AND SOCIOPOLITICAL LETHAL EFFECT OF LANGUAGE: A SEMANTIC STUDY OF THE CAUSALITY BETWEEN THE HUTU- TUTSI OTHERNESS DISCOURSE AND THE GENOCIDE OUTBREAK IN RWANDA
Authors: Datondji Cocou André 
Published: March 2023

<p>This paper is a semantic investigation of the cause-effect relationship between the Hutu-Tutsi otherness discourse and the outbreak of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. The semantic analysis carried out is based on extracts from various sources such as investigative documents, court reports and media publications, and broadcastings related to the genocide. Using the qualitative method, the study came to the conclusion that the long-run manipulative use of language resulted in semantic shifts with changes from denotative to connotative meanings that played a large part in the genocide.</p><p>Ce travail de recherche est une étude sémantique de la relation de cause à effet entre le discours d’altérité entre Hutu et Tutsi et l’éclatement du génocide rwandais en 1994. L’analyse sémantique effectuée est basée sur divers extraits tirés de sources telles que des documents d’investigation, des rapports de tribunaux, des publications et émissions radiodiffusées liées au génocide. A l’aide de la méthode qualitative, l’étude conclut que l’utilisation manipulative à long terme du langage a provoqué des glissements sémantiques et des changements des sens dénotatifs vers des sens connotatifs qui ont joué un rôle important dans le génocide.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0205/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The dynamic power in the American literary world infants a highly segregationist lead to inventing at a given time a new white American. In her fictional work ‘Playing in the Dark’, Toni Morrison sheds new and personal light on American fiction and more particularly on the way through which the white man’s identity has been formatted or shaped in the course of time with suspected negligence about Africanism. New criticism literary approach serves as a scientific panacea to decode and denote the ups and downs of that new drive of American literary history, in the shadows of blackness.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0209/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
THE CENTRALITY OF THE NARRATIVE STORYTELLING PERFORMANCE STRATEGY IN SAM UKALA’S IDEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Authors: Affiah Uwem , Amaku Offiong Ene , Akpan Kufre 
Published: March 2023

African literary drama draws its artistic materials from the numerous forms of Oral literature. Storytelling, an ancient but living oral tradition is one of such forms that some African dramatists have resorted to in expressing their various themes. As such, storytelling has created an orally rich variant of contemporary African literary drama as demonstrated in Ukala’s dramaturgy. Primarily sourcing his plays from folk material, Ukala is known for reviving and sustaining the storytelling performance via his ‘folkism’ theory which thrives on spontaneity in performance. This paper investigates the centrality of the storytelling strategy in his Akpakaland, Iredi War and Break a Boil as located in his ‘folkist’ ideology. The paper draws attention to such defining characteristics of indigenous storytelling as the opening and closing formulae, improvisation, audience involvement, the pivotal role of the narrator, etc. In so doing, it locates storytelling as the central artistic requirement that not only imbues Ukala’s plays with its aesthetic relevance but also drives its reflection of societal issues.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0058/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This study aims to determine the cause of the differences on the challenges, teaching methods, and methods of assessment of teachers in online modality, and to establish the relationship among these three variables. It made use of the causal-comparative and correlational research designs. It included as respondents fifty college teachers of Notre Dame of Midsayap College who were variably apportioned among its seven colleges. The respondents were 22-70 years old, composite of males and females; mostly married; and predominantly teaching major courses. All of them were using laptops; mostly were using smartphones, majority were using router/pocket Wi-Fi and camera, several were using desktops; a few of them were using iPad/tablet; and a minority of them were using noise-canceling headsets. The top challenges they experienced in online modality were instruction, assessment and economic related. The primary teaching methods they employed were lecture, demonstration, and discussion. The main methods of assessment they used was the subjective type, and mainly addressed the cognitive domain of learning. There is no significant difference on the challenges, teaching methods, and methods of assessment of respondents when they are grouped according to sex. There is a weak direct relationship between challenges and teaching methods and a very weak positive relationship between challenges and methods of assessment. In both cases, however, the relationships were not significant. There is a moderately strong positive relationship between teaching methods and methods of assessment, and that relationship is highly significant.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0037/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: March 2023

Elderly persons who live in communities and appear to be in good health frequently experience postural hypotension, which is frequently asymptomatic. Uncertainty exists regarding the relationship between postural changes in blood pressure and numerical factors including age, gender, and body mass index. The goal of the current study is to identify the orthostatic blood pressure (OBP) changing patterns, symptoms, and related factors in various age groups. In this study, sixty participants ranging in age from 20 to 75 years old were used. To check for orthostatic hypotension in these groups, various blood pressure readings are taken in the lying and standing positions at intervals of one minute and three minutes. The findings demonstrated that in the elderly groups, symptoms of headache, blurred vision, dizziness, and lightheadedness were unrelated to orthostatic hypotension. These subjects' Body Mass Indexes were calculated based on their nutritional condition, and they were found to be 60% well-nourished, 6% under-nourished, and 34% overweight. The elderly person had systolic hypotension (P&lt;0.01) more frequently than diastolic hypotension (P&gt;0.05). In the senior group, standing hypotension was equally common in both sexes. BMI declines with aging in males as well, n=60. In all four groups, heart rate readings in the standing position were greater than the supine measurement. In the older population of Ndola which was the subject group of the study, 16.7% had OH. Age and the decline in diastolic blood pressure after three minutes of standing were positively correlated in all males. In all females, a positive link was seen between body mass index and a reduction in diastolic blood pressure after three minutes of standing. After 3 minutes of standing, all males showed a positive link between body mass index and a decrease in systolic blood pressure. Therefore, there is a link between body mass index and a drop in blood pressure readings when standing. On the basis of the current study, we draw the conclusion that orthostatic hypotension rises with age and that symptoms are unrelated to physical measurements.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0202/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Background: Male partner involvement in ANC is essential for the mother's health and the growth of the fetus because it connects the mother and her child to the healthcare system, potentially increasing the likelihood that antenatal care services will be optimized. This study aimed to determine the effects of socio-demographics on male partner involvement in Antenatal Care. Methods: A descriptive survey research design was used. The study population included male partners in Kaptimbor Village Baringo Central Sub-County, Kabarnet ward. A sample of 167 respondents was recruited for the study. A stratified random sampling approach was used to select the study participants. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire, analyzed using SPSS computer package version 26 and thereafter presented using descriptive methods. Findings: The majority of the respondents (69.0%) were aged between 28 and 49 years, 63.2% had secondary or higher-level education, 39.4%, were self-employed, (58.7%) lived a distance of more than one kilometer from the nearest health facility and (54.8%) were of Tugen and Pokot ethnic backgrounds. The majority of the respondents indicated that traditionally, ANC has only been a place for women and that men had certain roles to play during pregnancy. Younger men were more supportive, older men were opposed to the idea of men engaging in ANC. Men with low-income levels chose to stay at home rather than accompany their partners to prenatal clinics. A significant percentage of men correctly identified convulsions, loss of consciousness, fast/difficult breathing and severe headache with blurred vision as danger signs in pregnancy. Conclusions: Different aspects of ANC indicated varying degrees of involvement. In spite of the fact that the vast majority of men indicated a high level of involvement in ANC services, there were gaps in their understanding, perceptions, and involvement.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0023/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

THE INFLUENCE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS’ SELF-EFFICACY FOR THE INCLUSION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Authors: Voulgaraki Eleni , Kaprinis Stylianos , Antonopoulou Panagiota 
Published: March 2023

The inclusion of students with disabilities in the modern educational process is a necessity for removing barriers to participation, obviating social inequalities and reducing social exclusion. In the direction of equal opportunities, empowerment and social inclusion, the emotional intelligence and emotional literacy of teachers plays a decisive factor. The study investigated the relationship between physical education teachers' emotional intelligence and their self-efficacy, regarding the inclusion of students with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities. One hundred and fifty physical education (PE) teachers participated in the study. The Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) was used to measure emotional intelligence and the Self-Efficacy Instrument for Physical Education Teachers Majors Toward Inclusion (SE-PETE) for the evaluation of self-effectiveness. The results showed that demographic factors such as gender, age, level of education, level of schooling employed and years of teaching experience greatly influence the emotional intelligence levels of physical education teachers. Regarding self-efficacy beliefs, no statistically significant differences were observed in terms of gender, age, level of education, level of schooling employed, in contrast to education in adapted physical education which seems to influence self-efficacy. Spearman’s Coefficient Correlation showed that emotionally intelligent teachers show increased self-efficacy, since they create appropriate learning conditions, and act supportive and encouraging, while adapting teaching to the needs of their students. The multiple regression analysis showed that the self-emotional appraisal, the emotional appraisal of students, and the ability to use and regulate teachers’ emotions have a significant predictive value for high self-efficacy in inclusive practices.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0099/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
