Authors: Bac Dang The , Dan Thai Cong 
Published: November 2022

<p>This study aims to investigate two issues. Firstly, it explores English as a foreign language (EFL) high school teachers’ practices of testing and washback in teaching reading comprehension. Secondly, their perceptions of its washback effects are scrutinized. Content analysis, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews were employed to collect data. Sixty teachers at some high schools in Can Tho City, Vietnam were contacted to answer the questionnaire. In the end, five of them were selected to take part in the interviews. The findings indicated that designing tests has a beneficial impact on reading for EFL learners in the areas of students' passion for reading, decreasing reading boredom, students' interest in reading text content, and students' development of thinking skills. It has an impact on the teachers' time allotment, teaching strategies, and instructional materials.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0979/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

A mixed-methods design (Creswell &amp; Creswell, 2018) was adopted in this action research to examine the effects of reading strategy instruction with four reading strategies - previewing the text, predictions, text-structure awareness, inferencing - on reading performance of non-English majored freshmen in English preparation classes of a private university in Vietnam. Thirty-six students in pre-intermediate English proficiency level participated in the study. Over six weeks, these students received the four reading strategies instruction explicitly in accordance with CALLA model. Via the explanatory sequential design, a type of mixed methods research involves two-phase data collection (Creswell &amp; Creswell, 2018). The results of the pre-post-tests and 11 closed-ended response items in the paper-based questionnaire were analyzed quantitatively while 6 interviews were analyzed qualitatively to provide further explanations of the quantitative results. The study has found that four reading strategies might serve as techniques to improve reading comprehension then result in better reading performance, reading speed and higher frequency of reading strategies use.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0561/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
UNIQUENESS OF GHANAIAN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION: ANALYSIS OF DENTAL FRICATIVE SOUNDS
Authors: Asante Emmanuel , Oppong-Adjei Bright , Adjei Prince Yaw , Okrah Emmanuel Kwame 
Published: November 2022

The variety of English used in Ghana is not the same as the one used in Britain, America or Nigeria. There seem to be observable differences in Ghanaian English pronunciation, semantics, lexis and grammar which have led to two opposing views. The first group sees those differences as errors that need to be corrected. The second group, on the other hand, believes that not all the differences are errors. Rather, there are some acceptable differences which distinguish the variety of English used in Ghana. It is against this background that the study sought to identify and describe some phonological differences in educated Ghanaian English to contribute to the on-going debate on Ghanaian English. Using Kachru’s ‘Nativisation Theory’, the research argues that there is a Ghanaian variety of English characterized by unique phonological features such as difficulty in pronouncing dental fricative sounds /ð/ and / θ/. To support this argument, instances of “Ghanaianisms” were collected from spoken sources and analysed. A text was read by participants and recorded into a Speech Analyser and described qualitatively. The study has confirmed that, the phonological differences in the English in Ghana are mainly brought about by nativisation process. It is believed that the study will contribute to the on-going debate on Ghanaian English and its codification.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0938/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
HOW SOYINKA STYLISES SATIRIC HUMOUR IN ALÁPATÀ ÀPÁTA
Authors: Bamigboye Omolade , Adeseke Adefolaju Eben , Adeosun Olufemi , Jemiriye Abidemi Oluwaseun Tosin 
Published: November 2022

The paper investigates how Wole Soyinka builds his satire on the foundations of extreme humour, pun and self-deprecation in Alápatà Àpáta. Using the theory of incongruity, purposively selected excerpts from the play are subjected to analysis which reveals a style that creatively weaves language together using tools that produce humour in the repudiation of societal ills. Components of incongruity like pun, zeugma, register switch, irony and ironical echo all combine at different linguistic levels to evolve a style that is at once entrenched in comedy and at the same time validates Soyinka’s celebrated status in dramatic discourse. The paper concludes that further studies should be done on the importance of humour in the expansion of the frontiers of stylistics as a branch of linguistics study.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0986/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
ANALYSING THE PICTORIALS OF VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA: A SEMIOTICS PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Mahmud Memunat Olayemi 
Published: November 2022

<p>Violence attributed to the various agitating groups in the country has become a common occurrence across the Nigerian states. This paper explored a cross-comparative analysis of the pictorials of activities of two northern Nigerian agitating groups (the Boko Haram sect and the Fulani herdsmen) as semiotics signs of violence within the Nigeria socio-cultural space. A corpus of 14 pictorials of online newspaper reportage of the activities of the agitating groups across the Nigerian States downloaded from the Internet served as the primary data in this study. Using Peirce’s triadic sign relations of icon, index and symbol, the study categorised the pictorials in the reportage and analysed them as semiotics sign carriage of violence showing that the communicative imports of the pictorials effectively explicate the magnitude of violence within the Nigerian socio-cultural space in their interpretations. The signs identified in the data include instrument of operation, ruins, body language, emotional display, etc., which are semiotics modals implicative of war, violence, destruction, agony, sorrow, agitation, etc., and symbolism of cruelty, ferocity, homicide and inhumanity generally. The paper concludes that pictorials are communicative signs carriage of concrete and implicative significations.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0989/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
CONSTRUCTIONS OF NORTH AFRICAN CORSAIRS IN EARLY AND POST-9/11 AMERICAN ORIENTALIST DISCOURSE
Authors: Saidi Mohamed 
Published: November 2022

The capture and enslavement of American sailors at the hands of North African corsairs, notoriously known as Barbary pirates, on the Mediterranean coasts in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, coupled with the so-called Barbary Wars between the newly-independent United States and the-then branded the Barbary States of North Africa, gave rise to the “the first significant group of U.S. Orientalist works” (Schueller 45). Following the tragic events of September 11 and the ensuing “War on Terror”, many of the negative images perpetuated in these early American Orientalist writings have been revived in post-9/11 American historiography and media accounts of Barbary Wars which both advocate that the late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century North African corsairs were the first “Islamic terrorists” whom the United States had ever faced. Scholarship on early American Orientalism has demonstrated how representations of the early North African ‘Mahometan’ as despotic, antichristian, and decadent were employed to shape American national identity. Yet, little, if no, scholarly attention has been paid to how both early and post-9/11 American writings on Barbary North Africa have invested in stereotypical depictions of barbarism, savagery, monstrosity, cannibalism, demonization, and, more recently, terrorism and Jihadism to create the misguided and mistaken cultural assumption that monstrosity and violence are inherent qualities of Muslims and Arabs. In tracing and identifying these misassumptions, this article endeavors to prove that the stereotyping of Muslims and Arabs was has been a prevalent phenomenon in American culture. It, too, seeks to unveil how Americans, both in early America and the post-9/11 era, have tried, through narrative, to appropriate and construct and reconstruct the North African ‘Mahometans’, and Muslims and Arabs in general, as the inhumane monster and the arch-enemy who should be fought wherever s/he is found.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0594/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

Transanal total mesorectal excision may result in lower rates of conversion to open procedure and a better circumferential resection margin compared with laparoscopic total mesorectal excision in adults with rectal cancer.
Transanal total mesorectal excision may be comparable to laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for cancer recurrence, survival, death, and short-term safety outcomes in adults with rectal cancer.
Total mesorectal excision may be more cost-effective than laparoscopic and open total mesorectal excision in adults with rectal cancer, but this is uncertain.
