Abstract

Chinese heritage languages play a vital role in the lives of the Chinese-Malaysian community because they act as important markers of their heritage identity. However, due to globalisation and modernisation processes taking place at present-day, the global language, Mandarin Chinese, has begun to take over the role of Chinese heritage languages, particularly among the younger generation of ethnic Chinese in Malaysia. Little is known about how this shift is affecting the middle-age and older generations who are used to communicating in Chinese heritage languages. Hence, this study examines the language practices of middle-age and older ethnic Chinese living in Penang, a state with a long-standing history of Chinese settlement. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with 43 participants. The findings show that language shift is evident among both generations as they adapt to the present trend of speaking Mandarin Chinese with family members, particularly the younger generation. However, they switch back to Chinese heritage languages during communication among their own generation. This study concludes that such language shift and accommodation is detrimental to the Chinese-Malaysian community as they face losing their heritage languages in the near future.

Abstract

This study sets a Marxist lens to explore class conflict and the interplay of fate in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles. The paper examines Tess’s representation as a victim of the Victorian class system and sexual oppression, investigating whether her tragic downfall results from chance or her subordinate social position. The evolving social statuses of central characters like Tess, Angel, and Alec add various dimensions to the narrative tension of the book. By utilizing the qualitative-descriptive method and Marxist concepts of class conflict and capitalism, the analysis accentuates how economic stability, or the lack thereof, intricately influences personal lives and relationships in Victorian society. Tess exemplifies the oppressed working class, while oppressors like Alec and Angel exercise their predatory dominance over her. Moreover, the research article aims to highlight the pivotal role of fate and chance in shaping Tess’s destiny, with coincidences and unexpected events intensifying her misfortunes. Ultimately, the research paper posits that economic fragility not only subjugates the working class but can also precipitate the downfall of the oppressors themselves.

Abstract

In the post-COVID-19 pandemic, the technology was currently inseparable in educational sector including in the English Language Teaching (ELT) field. Teachers in the secondary school context were encouraged to adapt technology for designing material. The technology could be like computer, tab, smartphone, etc. Through these tools, the teachers could make power points, share the material to the students’ smartphone, and conduct the e-learning activity by connecting it to internet. Therefore, this article attempted to investigate 1) the critical role of technology that could help learner to follow the teaching material and 2) the challenges of online application used by students in the e-learning class. To observe the above issue, the researcher used quantitative methodology with a case study approach. To generate the quantitative data of students’ learning interest, the researcher utilized Likert Scale model from 1 to 5 scale. The result demonstrates that 1) Technology has significant role in assisting learners to follow the subject and they have varied positive perspectives toward its use in e-learning activity, 2) even though students perceived many OAs were challenging, but through WAG application, it was effective in improving their writing skill.

Abstract

Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning is a major book in existential psychology, which offers a deep understanding of the human search for meaning during suffering. In this article, I will delve into how and where contemporary psychological practices are greatly impacted by Frankl's logotherapy. The paper commences with an analysis of Frankl’s life and his work within the historical context showing how the experiences he went through in Nazi concentration camps influenced his theoretical perceptions. Furthermore, it looks at some principles of logotherapy such as personal voids and desire for meaning in order to discuss their role in treating trauma and building up people’s resistance power. Lastly, it underscores logotherapy’s amalgamation with other therapeutic modalities, its influence on positive psychology as well as its wider applications within healthcare systems and schools among others. This paper provides a detailed examination of Frankl’s principles that remain very useful in promoting mental healthiness and self-improvement thus affirming how meaningfulness can be used to respond to human pain.
