Abstract

The alarming decline in the English language proficiency of Filipinos in recent years calls for further exploration into the challenges encountered by learners across the four macro-skills, particularly in writing, being the macro-skill met with the most challenge alongside speaking. Hence, this study aimed to identify the common writing errors of college students from the Marinduque State College in writing recount text and attempt to determine the reasons behind these writing deficiencies. Twenty (20) recount texts written by third-year Social Work for their World Literature course were subjected to analysis. The results revealed that punctuation use, selection of correct verbs and prepositions, capitalization, subject-verb agreement, and selection of appropriate pronouns were the areas in writing that the participants were most challenged with. These composition errors may be attributed to a lack of focus on grammatical rules in L2 learning and the strong influence of the native language. Hence, intervention on these identified writing deficiencies must be implemented immediately in order for the learners’ communicative writing skills to be at par with global standards for English communicative competency.

Abstract

This study aims to discover what and how the typology of Angkola Language (AL) is in word order as well as to determine its grammatical alliance. The application of qualitative methods was carried out descriptively to this study, it means that the data analyzed and the results are in the form of a phenomenon description. The stages in this research are data collection, data analysis, and presentation of data analysis results/conclusions. The conclusion of this study is the word order, namely: (1) declarative sentences in AL are in the pattern of: a) Verb + Subject + Object for intransitive; b) Verb + Object + Subject for transitive; (2) The negation sentences have 2 patterns: a) Negation + Subject + Verb + Object; b) Subject + Negation + Verb + Object; (3) Interrogative sentences have 3 patterns: a) Subject + Verb + Object; b) Verb + Subject + Object; and c) Passive-Verb + Subject + Object; and (4) Imperative sentences have 2 patterns: a) Verb + Object (subject disappears); and b) Verb + Subject + Object (similar to a declarative sentence). In AL, the argument Agent (A) behaves the same as the argument Subject (S) and is different from the argument Patient (P); therefore, this language pattern is classified as an accusative type. It is expected that there will be a syntactic typology researches in AL which examine the syntactic typology comprehensively as an effort to preserve and maintain local/ethnic languages.

Abstract

Andrea Cremer and David Levithan’s Invisibility is a contemporary novel with a twist of magical realism. Stephen and Elizabeth, the main characters, had made the story in the novel different colors. The study focused on how magical realism was presented in the novel through its five characteristics: irreducible element, the phenomenal world, unsettling doubts, merging realms, and disruptions of time, space, and identity. Applying Wendy B. Faris’ perspective, this study examined extraordinary things that happened within the ordinary to sort them into said characteristics of magical realism. The qualitative research method applied proved that in Cremer and Levithan’s Invisibility, there existed extraordinary events for each magical realism element, such as Stephen’s abrupt disappearance when Elizabeth blinked as the irreducible element; Stephen’s acceptance of being invisible and living in a accessible place like New York as the phenomenal world; Elizabeth’s doubts concerning Stephen’s form as the unsettling doubt; an ordinary-looking comic store being a magical office in disguise as the merging realm; and Elizabeth’s ability to enter into a different side of the regular universe as the disruption of space.

Abstract

Educators and policymakers have taken notice of the widespread usage of Facebook as an online social network and as an alternative method of teaching and learning. People around the world use Facebook for communication and as an English language teaching technique. When language learners use Facebook, they may come across new vocabulary and grammar rules. Despite the widespread usage of Facebook in education around the world, little research is done on how facilitators and students in Tanzanian secondary schools use it to teach and learn English. This study surveyed the level to which selected ordinary secondary schools in Tanzania apply Facebook to teach and learn English as a second language. It also investigated the awareness of students and language teachers towards the application of Facebook in teaching and learning of English language in their respective schools. The Descriptive research design was applied in data collection. The data was collected from 15 teachers who are teaching the English language and 78 students from three selected ordinary level secondary schools by using structured interview techniques and questionnaires respectively. The stratified purposive random sampling was employed to draw the respondents. Both statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS), content analysis, and excel techniques employed in analyzing data. The results show that Facebook is not mostly used as a teaching and learning tool in ordinary secondary schools in Tanzania despite the fact that teachers and students make use of it. Furthermore, it found that language learners might acquire new vocabularies and skills such as listening, writing, reading, and speaking through using Facebook.

Abstract

This work represents a novel direction for computational linguistics research on metaphor in the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān. The present study proposed a basic/non-basic meaning criterion as a marker for the computational identification of metaphor in the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān. The corpus was Sūrat Hūd, where manual identification for candidate metaphors was conducted by referring to four authentic exegeses, namely Tafsīr Aṭ-Ṭabarī (2010), Az-Zamakhshari (2007), Al-Qurṭubi (1964) and Ash-Sha’rāwi (1997) as well as Yūsuf ‘Ali interpretation of the meanings of the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān (1992). 22 metaphors were identified and classified based on the proposed semantic criterion. The data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively, and candidates were classified into three categories depending on their meaning and their degree of metaphoricity. The study drew on the conceptual theory of metaphor by Lackoff Johnson (1980), studies on metaphors in the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān, as well as computational studies of metaphor, in general, to finally arrive at a criterion that describes the meaning of metaphor towards a computational identification of metaphors in the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān. The study proposed a software input to detect metaphors by identifying their semantic features.

Abstract

Evaluation and critics are two essential aspects in assessing a perfect performance. Public speaking is a platform to convey critics as well as evaluations publicly. Critics and Evaluation is an embodiment of check and balance in a democratic nation. Barack Obama attends White House Association Correspondents Dinner annually as a sign of USA democracy establishment. This event is a mark of good relationship between government and mass media correspondents. This study finds critical and evaluative humorous utterances as Obama’s tactical strategy to deliver his critics and evaluation. This research is qualitative research that uses conversational analysis (CA) as the method. The data were transcribed by Jefferson transcription system (2020). It has an aim to examine implicature theory (Grice, 1975) further in humour. This study shows that pragmatical utterances, that is conveyed in humorous concept, need a construction of common understanding, named as common ground. Turn taking is seen from speaker’s speech and various responses of audiences such as laughter, applauses, or short verbal responses. These responses become essential part of discourse constructions in seizing its goal, to criticize and evaluate colleagues’ performance.

Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) outbreak has caused a sudden shift in many educational institutions to various alternative instructional methodologies. This pandemic has altered the traditional and typical strategies for teaching and learning environments. Marinduque State College (MSC), a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the province of Marinduque, has implemented Flexible Blended Learning (FBL) for Academic Year (A.Y.) 2020–2021. This descriptive research determined the FBL experiences of MSC students in an English language-learning context. The study results revealed that MSC students have an overall positive experience with FBL implemented in their English language class. Nevertheless, continuous support to meet the needs of the most vulnerable students, who cannot entirely keep abreast of the new learning system, must be prioritized. This may help mitigate the widening inequality among students with their right to equal learning opportunities.
