Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the systemic approach to develop students’ mastery of adjective. The limitations of adjective mastery in this research were the kind, the use, the form, and the order. This research employed a quasiexperimental design with the non-equivalent control group. Sixty-two students in a private university are majoring in English Education chosen from two classes that were divided into two groups, namely experimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by using a systemic approach, while the control group was taught by using lecturing method. The instruments of this research were adjective tests. The data of the experimental group experienced improvement in their mastery of adjective in terms of kind, use, form, and order indicated by the posttest mean score of experimental groups (75.40) that was higher than the posttest mean score of control group (54.6) and the t-test value which was higher than the t-table value (12.991 > 1.671). Furthermore, the researchers found that the element of adjective which experienced most significant development happened on the order. The result of this research indicated that there was significant development between experimental and control class. It means that a systemic approach that was applied in the experimental group could develop the students’ mastery of adjective. Thus, it was concluded that the systemic approach was effective to develop students’ mastery of adjective.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Yemen public universities. Three academic staff from Hodeida, Amran and Thamar universities were the participants of this study. The qualitative method was employed with one-to-one interview as an instrument of the data collection. Thematic analysis was employed to identify the patterns that reflect the factors affecting ICT use in universities. The findings revealed that the use of ICTs in Yemen’s universities still depends on lecturers' self-initiative. The lecturer who has skills of using ICT appeared to have a positive attitude towards the use of ICT in their teaching. There is no type of social influence on lecturer’s use of ICT in their teaching. The poor infrastructure, poor facilitating condition and lack of the technical support stand as significant ICT barriers integration in Yemen’s Universities. All forms of online communication are absent in all three universities. The participants of this study urged their universities top management to provide proper facilitating conditions and training programs to enable their academic staff to cope up to 21st-century teaching and technologies.

Abstract

It is a known fact that Strategic Arms Limitation Talks and other related talks on nuclear arms disarmament have failed to achieve a nuclear arms agreement among nations that will lead to nuclear-free World. It is almost impossible to accomplish this single task for more than 71 (seventy-one) years. Every scholar in the globe has an opinion towards nuclear arms limitation talks. It is tricky to say whether or not SALT is an Ethical or Political problem? This paper tries to answer this question. As a result, it is incorrect to treat nuclear weapons control, which exists in the realms of 'ought,' as a scientific or political problem that exists in the realm of 'is.' Moral expressions are in the regions of 'ought' above every fact and science, custom and tradition, despite the existence of several ethical systems.

Abstract

This research aims at finding out comprehension strategies used by the students during shadow reading. This research is qualitative research with classroom observation. This research is based on Vygotsky's sociocultural theory that involves scaffolding and zone of proximal development (ZPD). The data is analyzed through problem-solving as comprehension analysis. The comprehension strategies are focused on three aspects of reading namely phonological processing, word recognition, and syntactical processing. This research is restricted to the interactional phase of shadow reading and focused during reading only. The result shows that from those three focuses, there are six comprehension strategies. In the phonological processing, there are repairing incorrect utterance of partner and dividing a word into manageable sound. In the word recognition, there are implicitly asking for repetition to complete the task and giving repetition for incorrect word. In the syntactical processing, there are modifying input in manageable repetition and explicitly requesting repetition to complete the task. Those strategies help the shadower to complete the task. Thus, they can reach ZPD.
