Abstract

The phenomenon of foreign language mastery shall always be the main issue in the pedagogy since it has numerous advantages in human life, especially in terms of economic value. The definition of bilingualism is connected with the speaking of two languages or expression in two languages and it can be used to describe societies or individuals (Lyon, 1995). The way that a bilingual adapts to a certain condition leads to a certain phenomenon, which is quite interesting to analyze. The texture of the bilinguals creativity is essentially the result of the process of translation and transcreation, and insightful approaches to stylistics-its theory and methodology must be take into consideration. When people speak more than one languages, they may have different levels of proficiency in each of the languages, and use them for very different social purposes and in different situations. The languages that a bilingual speaks affect each other in various ways, so much that there is a regular study of what happens when one language comes into contact with another. In educational setting, it is important to know how a bilinguals first language may affect the function of other languages. The paper will discuss the phenomenon of bilingual and the implication towards communicative competence which would consists, minimally, of four areas of knowledge and skills; grammatical competence, sociolinguistic competence, discourse competence and strategic competence.

Abstract

In English, the sound system is somewhat distinct from Arabic. Yemeni Novices have many difficulties pronouncing English terms owing to this. For example, we often hear English learners pronounce "sight [sait]" with "[saig]" or "know,” [nəʊ]" with "[knəʊ]." This study is concerned with identifying widespread errors in the pronunciation of silent letters in English words among Yemeni EFL learners. Qualitative descriptive study was used in this investigation as a methodology. With the aid of purposive sampling techniques, a sample of 5 EFL novices was selected from 1st level of the English Department, Faculty of Education, Sana'a University, Yemen, which was classified into a group of novice high-level learners (beginners). Analytically descriptive method was used to analyze the data after they were collected through test. The result of this study showed that in pronouncing words containing the silent letters like b, c, d, g, gh, h, k, l, m, n, p, s, t, th, and w, the researcher finds errors made by the EFL novices. He analyzes three positions of the silent letters in the words (initial, medial, and final position) and by understanding this; it would be possible to develop useful instructional materials and teaching strategies to target this issue.

Abstract

This study explores how Queen Charlotte’s utterances in directive speech acts reflect empowerment as a Black woman leader through Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023). This research used a qualitative method. The source of data in this research consists of six episodes, each featuring a transcript from the movie series. The examination of Queen Charlotte’s utterances showed a total of 61 directive speech acts classified by Kreidler (1998): Commands occurred 48 times (78.6%), Requests 11 times (18%), and Suggestions 2 times (3.2%). Using Simpson and Mayr’s (2019) categorization of “power and talk,” 46 of the 61 directive speech acts were found with power characteristics: Topic Control (71.7%), Enforcing Explicitness (17.3%), and Interruption (10.8%). These findings demonstrate that directive speech acts may appear as a form of power that reflects identity and empowerment, especially in the speech of Black women leaders. Queen Charlotte's speaking patterns effectively convey her power, capability, and resistance to being made invisible.
