Abstract

The development of effective English language proficiency among Guidance and Counselling students is crucial for their academic success and future professional endeavours. However, there is a gap in the literature concerning the specific language needs and preferences of this student population within the field of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). This study aims to identify the essential English sub-skills required by Guidance and Counselling students currently enrolled in the second semester of the 2022–2023 academic year, encompassing listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Employing a descriptive quantitative method, data was collected through an online questionnaire administered to 53 students. The findings highlight the importance of listening comprehension skills, with 79.3% recognizing the value of understanding lectures and classmates during English lessons. Additionally, the study emphasizes the significance of proficient speaking abilities for facilitating dialogues, with 66.7% valuing discussions on general and current topics with classmates. Furthermore, the ability to critically analyse internet articles (64.4%) emerged as the most valued reading skill for evidence-based practice and cross-cultural sensitivity. Lastly, the participants most recognized the importance of writing skills for conducting group research in English (56.3%). Overall, the study underscores the multidimensional nature of English language proficiency required for Guidance and Counselling students and the need for an integrated approach to language education that fosters well-rounded competence. By addressing these language needs, educational institutions can better prepare students for the communicative demands of their future roles as counsellors.

Abstract

Assessment for learning or formative assessment is a process of gathering and analysing information about what learners know and can do and using that information to make instructional decisions. The role of assessment for learning, especially in an ESL classroom cannot be overemphasized. Among other things, formative assessments can go a long way in helping learners to set learning goals and prepare well for summative assessments. Regrettably, many teachers are unable to implement assessments for learning in their ESL classrooms. This study examined what the ESL teachers at Bole District of the Savanna Region of Ghana think about the assessment for learning, how they implement it, and the challenges they face in implementing it. The study adopted the mixed methods approach and the convergent parallel design. Census sampling was used to select all the 82 ESL teachers in the Bole District. The findings showed that ESL teachers had positive beliefs about assessment for learning practices. However, they did not implement it in their classrooms due to challenges such as inadequate time on timetables, large class sizes, lack of resources, limited access to technology, and overloaded English curriculum. It is recommended that school heads should make every endeavour to provide adequate time on timetables and they should also provide the ESL teachers with the needed assessment for learning resources for effective teaching and learning.

Abstract

This research explores the role of animated films as a medium for addressing social issues, particularly discrimination, with a focus on the film “Elemental” (2023). Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzes discriminatory actions and their impacts on the three main characters: Barnie, Cinder, and Ember. Drawing on Dovidio and Esses’ (2010) theory of discrimination and Ayón's (2015) concept of effects, the research highlights parts of the film depicting discrimination and its physical and non-physical consequences. The result of the current study shows that different types of discrimination were portrayed in the movie through explicit and implicit actions as well as institutional and cultural biases. These findings indicate that animated films can effectively convey information about discrimination to various audiences, especially children, in a creative and easily understandable manner. This reaffirms that animated films serve not only as tools for ideological communication but also as agents of social change. The study also dissects the negative impacts of discrimination on the mental health and family functions experienced by the main characters. Through the analysis of discriminatory actions presented in dialogue, settings, and actions in the film, the research provides a profound understanding of the main characters' experiences in facing discrimination. In conclusion, this research reinforces the importance of using animated films as a tool for voicing social issues.
