Abstract

Given the profound significance of the Nigerian national anthem in representing collective identities of the Nigerian populace. This study examined the translation approaches, styles and strategies employed in Oseni’s Arabic translation of the old Nigeria National Anthem (1978-2024). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the translation strategies adopted by the author while considering their implication for cross cultural communication. The methodological frame work for this research is the qualitative, auto-telic and content based approach. Grounded in the field of translation studies, the research employs a comparative analysis and methodology to scrutinize linguistic nuances and culture adaptation adopted. This research employed eclectic theoretical approach which includes equivalent theory, Skopos theory, and cultural translation theory. Through a careful examination of Oseni’s translation, this research work revealed that Oseni takes into account the purpose, function, and cultural nuances of the text in the source language in translating to the target language. The author also adopts stylistics devices such as rhythm and imagery to colour his translation in the recipient language in order to aesthetically attract the attention of his target audience. This work also contributes to advancing the understanding of translation theories and practice particularly with the reading of national symbols and identities. In conclusion, this work shows that trans-lingual translation involves the knowledge of extra-linguistics features such as culture and context, cosmological as well as sociological features embedded in the original text and how they are infused in the target language without distorting meaning.

Abstract

The background of this study is the low level of Arabic speaking proficiency among class IX students of MTs Raudlatul Ulum in Labuhan Batu North Sumatra, as a result of the lack of oral practice during education, poor vocabulary proficiency, fear of using Arabic, and low level of self-confidence. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of daily conversation application to improve students' speech skills. This study is based on a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design in one group, and the tool used in this study was a pre- and post-oral test to measure the extent to which students' speech skills improved. The research sample consisted of class IX students at the school. The results of the one-sample t-test and the N-Gain test showed that the application of the daily conversation method contributed to the improvement of the students' speech skills. The t-test revealed that there were statistically significant differences in favor of the post-test (t = 440.075, Sig. = 0.000), which indicates the effectiveness of everyday conversation in improving speech skills. N-Gain's analysis also showed an upgrade rate of 22.78%, which is within the average level, indicating that daily conversation proved a real and moderate improvement in the students' ability to speak.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the process of teaching listening skills using Alef Education, identify difficulties in its use, and understand the opinions of teachers and students regarding this media. The researcher employed a qualitative descriptive method and collected data through observation, interviews, and documentation. Non-participant observation was conducted in the eleventh-grade classes (A1 and A2), along with semi-structured interviews with one teacher and twenty students selected using purposive sampling. The results showed that the teaching process begins with a preparatory stage, which includes three activities: preliminary, main, and closing activities. The teacher’s main difficulty was unstable internet connection, while students faced both technical and non-technical challenges. The teacher considered the media very helpful and worth continuing. Students’ opinions were divided into positive and negative; positive responses highlighted the media’s benefits and motivation, while negative responses involved difficulties with independent learning and technical problems.
