Authors: Ayisi-Boateng Hagar , Bentil Joseph , Adjei-Fianko Diana 
Published: July 2022

While substantial literature exists on the parenting styles and students’ academic performance around the world, little is known about these variables in the Ghanaian context and much less in Asokore-Mampong Municipality. In view of this dearth of literature, this study investigated the parenting styles and academic performance of public Junior High Schools students in Asokore-Mampong Municipality, Ghana, within the context of Baumrind’s (1971) theory on parenting styles. In line with the pragmatist paradigm, this study utilized the sequential explanatory mixed methods research design where 545 students and 545 parents were sampled using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique for the quantitative phase of the study, while the convenience sampling technique was used to select 12 students and 12 parents for the qualitative phase of the study. After meeting validity and reliability requirements, a structured questionnaire and semi-structured interview guide were used to collect data for the study which was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation and inferential (independent samples t-test, One-way between group ANOVA, Pearson Moment Correlation) statistics and thematic analysis. The study revealed that the authoritative parenting style was most experienced among the students, followed by authoritarian, and permissive while the uninvolved parenting style was least experienced. It was further observed that generally, there was a moderate and statistically significant positive relationship between parenting styles and students’ academic performance. Besides, findings from the study’s hypotheses showed that sex, age, class, and parental marital status of students did not affect their perception of parenting styles they experienced. In line with these findings, it was concluded that parenting styles are vital in enhancing students’ academic performance, hence, it was recommended that the Ghana Education Service through the Asokore-Mampong Education Directorate and Parents Teachers Association (PTA) should constantly educate parents, reorient them to adopt appropriate parenting styles that are needed in specific situations so as to enhance the academic performance of students.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0966/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Yen Cao Hoang 
Published: July 2022

<p>Evaluating coursebooks has always been an important process affecting the selection and implementation of coursebooks. The coursebook evaluation can be conducted before, while and after a coursebook is employed for a specific course. While the benefits of coursebook evaluation are recognized, recently published coursebooks are not evaluated properly in some contexts. The present study was designed to gain college students’ evaluation of a new coursebook recently used for their general English course and their recommendations for the editorial board. The findings led to the conclusion that the students shared positive perceptions of the book in general (M=4.17). Importantly, the students highly appreciated specific aspects of the book such as the design, the layout, the presented language and skills, the activities and cultural aspects as well. The study also provided students’ recommendations which the editorial board could take into consideration to improve the coursebook.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0949/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

ALTERNATIVE PROVIDERS IN THE UK: UNDERSTANDING STUDENTS’ SATISFACTION AND CHALLENGES
Authors: Mariampillai John , Shaffi Shameem 
Published: July 2022

In the United Kingdom (UK) higher education policy changes, especially since 2010, focus on supporting quasi-markets by allowing greater institutional competition and student choice. The decision to open-up the higher education market to alternative providers has resulted in the remarkable growth of providers gaining access to public-backed funding. There has been very little empirical study on alternative providers and/or students within alternative provider institutions, especially in the context of students studying for a degree programme. Using both the education and marketing literature, this article examines students’ perspectives on their educational experiences. This article reports on the outcomes of a small survey conducted with learners within alternative providers in the UK to capture learners’ satisfaction with their educational experience.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0927/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

THE IMPACT OF CONTEXT ON EFL LEARNERS’ VOCABULARY RETENTION
Authors: Nguyen Thi Cong Dung 
Published: July 2022

Vocabulary is believed to be stored in memory through phonological and semantic routes (Papagno, Valentine &amp; Baddeley, 1991). As such, learners can encode words by repetition or by inferring their meaning in a context. However, the effectiveness of the two techniques for learning vocabulary, namely rote rehearsal and context-based strategy, in acquiring foreign language vocabulary has been controversial and hence has encouraged more empirical evidence. This study was conducted to investigate which of these two techniques had the greater impact on students’ vocabulary retention. The results revealed that the vocabulary retention of learners in the context-based strategy outperformed those in the rote group at both test intervals. Although the differences between the two groups in the delayed test failed to reach significance, their outstanding results in the immediate test were much more striking. The findings, therefore, suggested that context was more favorable for achieving word meanings than rote rehearsal in general.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0932/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
LONG-TERM STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN PRIVATE FOREIGN LANGUAGE TUTORING
Authors: Montenegro Aida 
Published: July 2022

What motivates a teenage girl to begin and continue having private language tutoring? This qualitative study presents a detailed examination of the motivations and experience of a German female teen in language tutoring. After three years of private tutoring, data were gathered by the tutor-researcher through scenarios, an interview, and a collage. Analysis of the transcribed responses revealed that having well-defined goals and clear thoughts about the connection between the school subject and its value (e.g., intrinsic and utility) help the tutee achieve her goals, (re)establish them, and make more conscious and strategic decisions. Specifically, the tutee’s mastery goals, school culture, and proactive interaction were conducive to improving the flow of tutoring (agentic engagement) and facilitating long-term engagement. Results also show that student engagement may be prolonged when these conditions are consistently encouraged by the tutor. This study builds on Achievement Goal Theory and the concepts of behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and agentic engagement.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0959/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

A POSTCOLONIAL READING OF GRACE OGOT'S LAND WITHOUT THUNDER
Authors: Rouabhia Ridha 
Published: July 2022

Colonialism has been a destructive force that has affected colonized peoples at different levels. The inevitable interaction between the colonizer and the colonized produced a conflict of ideologies and a clash of cultures. Literature has been a reflection of this dark part of human history, among which short stories reveal almost exactly what larger literary genres maintain in terms of ideology and culture. This paper aimed to analyze Grace Ogot's collection of short stories, entitled Land Without Thunder, from postcolonial perspectives. The approach used was descriptive qualitative, according to which most stories were thoroughly analyzed. This analysis showed that Land Without Thunder had presented ideologically conflicted discourse. Moreover, Ogot intended to use much of her native language and dialect to identify her people's indigenous culture. This paper may be limited in theory as the collection of these stories also tackles gender-oriented issues and psychological conflicts, which require different theories other than the postcolonial. In future papers, it is suggested that Land Without Thunder be read from both feminist and psychoanalytic perspectives.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0931/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
