Abstract

Recently, especially with the COVID-19 experience, the need to deploy technology in education has taken center stage. Before the pandemic, many teachers did not particularly consider the use of technology as a valuable resource for teaching and learning. However, this is rapidly beginning to change. Many languages programmed in the country are now experimenting with and utilizing technology in learning. Appropriate use of these new resources has effectively upgraded language instruction and learning. Much time, effort, and money has been spent researching and implementing new and existing technology to improve language training. Twenty-five language educators, in a focus group session conducted, feel that now is the time when the use of technological resources to enhance the learning experience will offer the highly motivated learner an efficient and flexible means of attaining basic communicative competence in language learning. The paper discusses how technology can facilitate learning in language teaching. The paper discusses the need to use some technologies for language teaching, like Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, YouTube, and Facebook, which can be easily accessible to computers, iPads, and Android devices. The research notes that with modern technology, one can learn without necessarily being in the physical classroom. Modern language teaching and learning technology makes learning easily accessible anytime and anywhere, provided internet connectivity exists.

Abstract

An adverb is used to indicate roughly how frequently a typical or usual action or event occurs. It is one of the fundamental English grammar structures that present challenges for students at KRI University. The aim of this paper was to investigate the challenges of the mobility of adverbs among KRI University students. The instrument used for data collection was the open-ended questionnaire created via a Google Form with a five-item structure shared with participants. SPSS version 21 software was used to analyze the data, which was deployed at five universities in KRI at the upper secondary level to evaluate how effectively the respondents used adverbs. The results were examined using simple percentages. Many of the respondents were found to often place adverbs in ways that led to illegible and unclear sentences. Additionally, some students were found to misuse classes of words, using one when they should use the other. Since adverbs cannot just be used in every sentence positions, the study concluded that adverbs and adverbials genuinely display restricted mobility occurring in just three positions: initial, middle and final. Accordingly, the result of the study of adverb movement depends largely on the adverb's subtype and nature which have a significant role in determining its mobility.

Abstract

This paper examined the place of effective communication among student nurses of Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) and explored strategies to enhance their communication skills. Effective communication is crucial in nursing practice for ensuring patient safety, promoting positive outcomes, and fostering therapeutic relationships. The study was motivated by the discovery during lectures that a number of the students had challenges with basic communication. The paper randomly selected thirty participants who are Peri-Operative, Post-Basic Anesthesia, and Nephrology student-nurses from the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Plateau State, for the study and using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as data collection method, data was elicited from the discussion and discussed in the study. The paper discovered that language barriers, cultural differences, and limited proficiency in English pose significant challenges for student nurses and widely affect their communication. The paper therefore concluded that by implementing targeted interventions such as language support programs, cultural competency training, and communication skills workshops, educators and healthcare institutions can empower student nurses to overcome language barriers and enhance their communication abilities.

Abstract

The acquisition and usage of phrasal verbs present significant challenges for second language (L2) learners due to their complex and idiomatic nature. This paper explores these difficulties through a multifaceted analysis of the linguistic and cognitive obstacles that phrasal verbs pose to learners. The study examines the study's participants, which can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations. The paper delves into the learners’ competence levels and other issues affecting their ability to grasp phrasal verbs, which often affects their competence and performance in this area of English grammar. The paper also discusses the pedagogical approaches that have helped to facilitate the learners’ learning of phrasal verbs, such as contextual learning, teachers’ ability, corpora, and technology-based tools. The research findings underscore the importance of innovative teaching strategies and continuous practice for L2 learners to effectively navigate the linguistic labyrinth of phrasal verbs. By identifying key challenges and potential solutions, this paper contributes valuable insights into the complexities of language acquisition and offers practical recommendations for educators and learners alike. Ultimately, it aims to enhance our understanding of the intricate relationship between language, culture, and cognition in the context of L2 learning.

Abstract

Effective nurse-patient communication is essential for providing high-quality healthcare and ensuring patient safety and satisfaction. Proficiency in English is crucial for nurses to effectively interact with patients, families, and other healthcare professionals. However, many nurses face challenges in using correct grammar and language, which can impact communication and care delivery. This paper explores the relevance of English proficiency in nurse-patient communication, examines the grammar challenges nurses face, and suggests potential strategies to overcome these challenges. A total of 35 student-nurses were randomly selected from the Post Basic Nursing Anesthesia (PBNA) and Peri-Operative Nursing (PON) program at JUTH. The study adopted a mixed-methods research design, combining both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods. Among other challenges, the study discovered that nurses face problems in the areas of tenses, choice of words, sentence construction, and patients’ poor grasp of English. The study suggests that language training and support, and continuous professional development, etc. can help improve the communication among nurses and with patients. The study thus concludes that proficiency in English and proper grammar usage are essential for effective nurse-patient communication, and overcoming language and grammar challenges can improve patient safety, satisfaction, and healthcare outcomes.
