Abstract

The study of literary titles in literature is not new but has become prominent in modern space of literary analysis. People no longer see literary titles as mere appendages with which they identify a literary work, but rather, they look at it as a roadmap to the consumption of the text. A. careful analysis of a literary title as a paratext, provides a clear picture of the narrative and highlights expectations for reading such a text. This is what has made the study of titology relevant in literary studies and literary stylistics.  The objective of this paper is to examine how Asare uses the title: Ananse in the Land of Idiots to portray the characters and their actions in the play; to establish a relationship between the title of the play and its meaning; and to add style with meaning to the overall understanding of the play. The research involved here is qualitative in nature and a close reading method of the primary source and ideas from Genette and other leading critics on the theory of titology are used to study how the title reflects the actions of the characters throughout the play. After a careful analysis of the play in relation to its title, it is revealed that the title does not just identify the drama work. Rather, the title is reflected throughout the plot of the play and adds a metaphorical meaning as well as style to the drama piece. It is concluded established that Asare coins this title stylistically to prompt African leaders and their citizenry about their actions and inactions that facilitate the manipulation of Africa by the West. This implies that a titological approach to literary titles holds the potential of revealing hidden meanings in literary works which are often overlooked.

Abstract

This research delves into the imperative nature of English speaking and listening competencies for tourist police officers and travel agents, crucial for efficacious communication with international tourists. Specifically, it focuses on the English linguistic needs and challenges faced by Mataram Police Officers (MPOs) stationed at the Mataram Town Police Station's counter. Adopting a qualitative methodology, the study employs questionnaires and interviews to gather data, involving a cohort of 15 police officers from Mataram as participants. The findings illuminate that MPOs necessitate enhancement in their English listening and speaking abilities across several critical functions. These include extending greetings and assistance, soliciting personal information, understanding tourists' issues and desires, and providing details on accommodations, travel, transportation, emergency services, directions, and advice on safety, travel, and shopping. The study reveals that for effective participation in English training programs, MPOs emphasize the need for proficiency in basic conversational English, advocating for the study of English textbooks and practical dialogue exercises. It is suggested that English training sessions be conducted over weekends, with each session lasting 1.5 hours, spanning a three-month period. The preference for instructors includes Thai teachers alongside native English speakers. The research further identifies the primary challenges in listening and speaking faced by the MPOs. Listening difficulties are predominantly attributed to the varied English accents, the challenge in capturing main ideas, and understanding fundamental expressions. Conversely, the speaking impediments involve articulating basic expressions, constructing complete sentences, and the pronunciation of English vowels. This study not only highlights the linguistic gaps in the professional capabilities of MPOs but also proposes targeted educational interventions to bridge these gaps, underscoring the significance of tailored English language training in enhancing the tourism policing experience.

Based on the result of the study, it is suggested that the teacher provide a smart solution besides, only sharing with shadow teachers and finding out a lot of references dealing with teaching strategies for inclusive students. Those solutions provide teachers with a lot of new insight and creativity to overlook the problems.
