Abstract

The problem with migrant communities is that they often only show the phenomenon of earning a living for their families. It is not uncommon for migrant communities to live in one area and not show solidarity behavior, especially in their hometown. In contrast to the Wadiabero-Haiya migrants who show solidarity behavior for their hometown, namely in Wadiabero Village, Gu District, Central Buton Regency. The research uses descriptive qualitative methods, data obtained through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results of this research show that: (1) the Wadiabero-Haiya diaspora is spread across the archipelago and neighboring countries; In the archipelago, it is distributed on Papua Island, Maluku Island and its surroundings, on Sulawesi Island, Java Island, Kalimantan Island and Sumatra Island. In neighboring countries, spread across Sabah and Sarawak (2) ways to increase the solidarity of the Wadiabero-Haiya Diaspora Community, namely religious education, introduction to culture and social values, and example; (3) a form of social solidarity, namely mechanical solidarity in the form of a shared view to advance one's hometown, and organic solidarity in the form of mutual need between migrants from different areas for one's hometown. The solidarity created in Wadiabero Village is visible in religious activities, arts activities, and sports activities.

Abstract

The focus of this paper was to explore the challenges facing the effectiveness of teaching the English Language in TESOL and assess the role of communities of practice groups in overcoming challenges facing the effectiveness of teaching the English Language in East and West Africa. The study employed qualitative research through a virtual ethnography approach. Data were collected through participative observation and interviews in communities of practices and platforms online. Findings established that lack of teaching materials, poor teaching environment, and lack of opportunities for a Community of Practice and professional development were among the challenges that have been hindering the effectiveness of teaching the English Language in the field of TESOL in East and West Africa. Online professional development offered by Community of Practice groups, sharing English teaching materials, and opportunities to support school-based teacher education and training were among the strategies revealed by Community of Practice used by teachers to improve their teaching in TESOL. As a result, the study recommends that cultivating communities of practice and sharing professional development opportunities provide a continuous learning support system for updating English teaching strategies and providing effective skill acquisition in a sustainable and inclusive educational system.

Abstract

The majority of Indonesians can speak two or more languages. Code-switching is the practice of language changing or switching to another, which is highly widespread in bilingual and multilingual communities like Indonesia. Code-switching is a phenomenon that also happens throughout the teaching process in ELT classrooms. English is chosen as the medium of instruction in several contexts in Indonesia. One of the contexts is when pre-service English teachers use English as their primary language of teaching. The study aims to explore pre-service English teachers’ perspectives on code-switching in their Speaking classes. The study was performed at the English Education Department in one of the state universities in Jember, Indonesia. An interview was utilized to generate the data. Three pre-service English teachers were voluntarily taken as the participants. The data were analyzed using Thematic Analysis. There were three key perceptions identified from the participants' responses, namely positive attitude, negative attitude, and suggestion on code-switching implementation.

Abstract

With a focus on education and language learning in the context of the Philippines, this paper explores the blending of Western and Eastern cultures. The exploration narrows down to Isabela State University, where the study conducts a needs analysis of French language education. To identify the difficulties faced by French learners such as pronunciation problems, grammatical errors, and the limitations of traditional teaching methods the method combines questionnaires and interviews with a qualitative-descriptive design. The study highlights how crucial it is to understand students' needs, explore their difficulties, and offer suggestions for curriculum-related improvements that pinpoint important factors needed for learning French. The findings show that students struggled with a variety of linguistic competencies. Teachers are aware of the need for more comprehensive teaching materials for students, especially when it comes to grammar and pronunciation. Thus, the suggestions for material enhancements revolve around liaison, homophones, writing rules, as well as promoting conversational French. The analysis emphasizes how essential it is to implement a thorough plan that addresses the four macro skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. In a nutshell, the study adds to the larger discussion about the significance of foreign language education in a global setting by shedding light on the issues faced by French language learners at Isabela State University and offering specific recommendations for curriculum development and teaching materials.

Abstract

Nurses have been traditionally all seen as a predominantly female profession in the healthcare industry resulting in men remaining a minority and gender stereotypes in their workplace. Thus, this narrative inquiry aims to explore the men’s experiences, the challenges they faced, and the coping strategies they used in the field of nursing. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for in-depth interviews with the four participants; ages 32 to 37 years old, who were selected through snowball sampling. The data were further understood through the application of thematic analysis. The recorded interview was transcribed and coded. Categories were clustered; then, emerging themes were derived. Based on the findings, there are still some male nurses who are facing challenges in hospital settings due to these stereotypes that limit the practice of male nurses. However, despite these challenges, some male nurses still managed to pursue nursing due to their passion and job opportunities, and having coping strategies such as peer and family support and balancing work and life. In conclusion, despite the stereotyping that male nurses may face, their passion for nursing, job opportunities, and effective coping strategies enable them to succeed in the nursing profession.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct a stylistic analysis of the selected poems of Emily Dickinson, a 19th-century poet, and Lang Leav, a contemporary poet, focused on the graphological level of the poems. The researcher selected four poems by Dickinson and Leav as the literary texts to be analyzed. Using comparative stylistic analysis, the study aims to look for the graphological features woven in the poems of Dickinson and Leav. The graphological features in the selected poems were also compared to find any significant similarities and differences between the styles of the two poets considering that they belong to different periods. Lastly, the graphological features were analyzed to know their possible effect on the meaning of the poems. As a result, archaism, eye dialect, unconventional use of em dash and capitalization, inconsistent number of lines in each stanza, and inconsistent number of words in each line were found in the selected poems of Dickinson while Leav's selected poems contain eye dialect, diacritics, minimal use of punctuation, absence of capitalization, italics, and the inconsistent number of words in each line of the poems. It was also revealed that their graphological features have more differences than similarities and the effect of these graphological features in the selected poems is mainly for emphasis and to add to the visual elements of the literary texts.

Abstract

Most governments discourage informal trading, labeling it as contradictory to development. In this regard, informal trading is considered one of the leading causes of street congestion, crime, dirt, and threatening public order.   Residents in low-income and informal settlements use street vending as a livelihood method due to scarce work opportunities in the formal sector of South Africa’s economy. This paper examines the effect of formal shopping centers in townships on street vending in South African townships. The study used a qualitative approach and collected data from secondary sources and a questionnaire. The study concluded that shopping centers have a positive impact on street vending. Street vendors and shopping centers complement each other.

Abstract

Despite advancements in understanding gender roles and family dynamics, significant gaps remain in how these dynamics operate within diverse religious contexts in Nigeria. This study aims to investigate the influence of the 'Bossman' factor, which encompasses diverse gender roles (Breadwinner, Overall decision-maker, Shared power, Supportive husband, Male authority, and Nurturer), on family communication among married women from Christian and Islamic backgrounds. Using a qualitative approach and employing thematic analysis, focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with ten married women five Muslims from the central Mosque, Uwani, Enugu State, and five Christians from the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Province Five Headquarters, Trans-Ekulu, Enugu State. The findings reveal that the “Bossman” factor significantly influences decision-making processes, particularly in financial matters, and is associated with hierarchical power dynamics. Communication patterns varied from directive to collaborative styles, depending on perceived roles within the “Bossman” factor. Conflicting perceptions among participants highlighted subjective experiences within different gender roles. The study concludes that promoting egalitarian decision-making, facilitating open communication, and challenging traditional gender norms are crucial for fostering healthier family dynamics. These findings contribute to the understanding of gender roles and family communication in diverse cultural and religious settings, offering valuable implications for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars focused on enhancing family well-being.

Abstract

Gender is a sensitive issue in the traditional societal setup of Bangladesh. People hesitate to discuss gender even in the 21st century. The problem of gender inequality has been widespread in Bangladesh since the ancient and medieval periods. Moreover, this problem is more acute in rural parts of the country, where people have less privilege and live in a more conservative society. This qualitative study explored rural communities' social, cultural, and economic structure to determine the social factors of gender inequality in rural Bangladesh. To do that, this study used a qualitative research approach. Employing semi-structured in-depth interviews and critically analyzing secondary data, the research scrutinized the perspectives of male and female village residents across diverse roles, such as students, employees, farmers, homemakers, and entrepreneurs. The findings highlighted several social factors causing gender disparity, including the inescapable influence of patriarchal structures, gender stereotypes, preference for male offspring, child marriage, the notion of girls as liabilities, a lack of awareness, socioeconomic barriers, and a lack of explicit policy. With nearly 60.29% of the total population residing in remote areas where gender gaps persist, this research sheds light on the urgent need for intervention. Moreover, this study provided significant recommendations after critically examining the findings. Finally, the study underlined the imperative for governmental and decision-making bodies to prioritize these findings, advocating for the introduction of comprehensive gender awareness initiatives within rural communities to combat deep-rooted inequalities and pave the way toward a more equitable society.
