Abstract

In light of the presence of English in the Egyptian everyday life activities on various syntactic levels, this study is an attempt to approach borrowing and code-switching in Egyptian music from the dominance of linguistic system perspective. The study aimed to determine whether the Arabic–English switching instances in Egyptian music are borrowed forms or code-switches. In addition, it is an attempt to investigate the syntactic categories and types of switches to English as well as the contextual and functional reasons behind the switches through the observation of the relationship between the switches and the theme/situation/context where they appeared in the corpus. The data selected for the quantitative and qualitative analyses constituted a sample of five Egyptian songs that tackle youth-related themes and issues, not addressed in the mainstream music. The instances of borrowing the corpus provided indicated that the phonological and morphological adaptation to Egyptian Colloquial Arabic patterns occur across a continuum (from full integration to no integration) in the form of three strategies: “direct insertions”, “indirect insertions” and “light borrowing”. Two types of code-switching (“inter-sentential code-switching” and “intra-sentential code-switching”) were employed in two songs out of the five selected. The analyses indicated that English continues to serve as a source language for technology, social media and fashion-related diction that have found their way towards playing a vital role in everyday life communication among young Egyptians, including monolinguals and less proficient bilinguals.

Abstract

Limited empirical evidence is available in the context of teaching and learning French as a Foreign Language (FFL) as to whether the online platforms meet the needs of the learners. We seek to establish the needs and experiences of university students during the online teaching and learning of French as a foreign language (FFL) in sub-Saharan Africa, with specific focus on the Kenyan context. The results are based on three constructs; instructional materials, student support services and lecturers’ preparedness. A survey questionnaire was administered to 81 students in their third and final years of study in three universities in Western Kenya. The results demonstrate that students do not feel that the available online pedagogical practices meet their language competencies in learning FFL. Language policymakers must consider such results alongside local implementation resistance in implementing FFL online learning programs.

Abstract

Learning a foreign language is required in some degree programs given its perceived significance in some industries and to the employability of graduates, however, literatures suggest that students commonly experience difficulties in learning a foreign language; in fact, many studies have already determined factors that cause this. On the other hand, despite its importance, it is noticeable that although it is well researched in many countries, this topic seemed to have failed to catch the attention of many researchers in the Philippines. It was also observed that alongside the dearth of studies, each of the few studies were limited to one educational institution, resulting in the absence of a comprehensive study on this topic, which raises the need to conduct one that will cover a broader scope. Applying a descriptive research design and a quantitative research approach, this research aimed to determine the specific aspects of Nihongo language learning that pose challenges for students in selected educational institutions. Additionally, the research examines if there are differences in the perception of students and their sexuality. By identifying the specific challenges faced by students in learning Nihongo, educators and institutions can develop more effective teaching strategies and support systems to address these challenges. Additionally, understanding the potential influence of students' sexuality on language learning experiences can lead to a more inclusive learning environment. Ultimately, the outcomes of this study have the potential to enhance the quality of Nihongo language education and improve students' overall learning experiences in Philippine higher education institutions.
