Abstract

This study explores the Libyan undergraduates' capability to comprehend English collocations and phrasal verbs and translate them into Arabic. It also targets investigating the types of obstacles that these students encounter when they translate English collocational expressions. The methodology used in this study was based on quantitative and qualitative methods where a translation test consisting of two main parts was given to sixty-two (62) female undergraduates from the English department, Faculty of Education, University of Tripoli. An in-depth analysis of participants' answers was performed, and the results were reported. The study concluded that the participants struggled to translate English collocations and phrasal verbs. In addition, the translation production reveals that grammatical, lexical, and cultural problems were the main problem areas identified in students' answers. These problems are related to the influence of LI (Arabic), lack of appropriate vocabulary, difficulty in understanding vocabulary use, lack of translation practice, the misuse of literal translation and translation teaching methods. However, though the cultural gap between L1 (Arabic) and L2 (English) is huge, it could be minimized and bridged by using new techniques in teaching collocations and translation and frequent practice in translation.

Abstract

This paper aims to provide a logical and comprehensive systematic review of MA students’ theses related to professional development (PD) in an educational institution in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. This systematic review used a qualitative method to analyze 28 unpublished PD theses (2010 – 2020) in a graduate program of a public tertiary institution in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. There were four main research concerns, including (1) research aims, (2) research methodology, (3) findings, and (4) limitations of the theses. After the review, a list of strengths and weaknesses of these studies is found, evaluated, and presented in this article. The review shows that these studies did contribute diverse knowledge and practices of PD in the educational system of Vietnam, particularly in the Mekong Delta. On the other hand, the data collection instruments and research designs needed improvement to a certain extent. Specifically, observations were not used much in the theses. Besides, the candidate researchers overused a descriptive research design for their theses. Thanks to the analysis, some implications and new ideas for further research in PD are discussed at the end of this paper. .

Abstract

Many students think that reading skill is really difficult and complicated. Students said that finding meaning is confusing. Sometimes students misinterpret the text even if they have sufficient vocabulary. The problem in understanding the text is likely to trigger another problem in English, such as giving up easily and being lazy to continue studying their English activity. Moreover, reading is the activity most frequently done by students. They read the lesson written by their teacher on the whiteboard and from the books. Meanwhile, reading narrative text is of reading types that are mostly discussed in senior high school. In trying to solve this problem, the writer did classroom action research in his school. This research was done to improve students’ reading comprehension in the tenth-grade students of SMAN 2 Trenggalek through the SQ3R method. The data of this research was gained from the interview, observation, test, questionnaire and English score. This research was conducted in two cycles. The result of the first cycle and second cycle indicated that the number of students who passed the test is increasing significantly. Based on the result of the study, it can be concluded that the SQ3R method can improve reading comprehension skills.
