Abstract

Integrating outlining techniques have aided students in the process of writing their academic papers and helped them accomplish their paper effectively. Outlining as a pre-writing practice can help students enhance their writing abilities. Accounting students are renowned to work with numbers and analyze data, but little is known about their ability to write their academic papers. This study aims to determine the outlining techniques utilized by first-year accountancy students and how these help them in their academic writing, the use of qualitative research through Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) is applied. A total of 26 responses were gathered by interviewing first-year accountancy students in a Philippine Higher Education Institution. The study's findings revealed three outlining strategies utilized by the students: (1) utilizing the three basic outlines; (2) compiling accumulated ideas; and (3) having a goal to know the content of their academic papers. The mentioned techniques, according to the data gathered, help accountancy students organize and express their ideas and thoughts better on paper. Research results have also shown that utilizing outlining techniques not just help accountancy students in their academic paper, but also their personal lives as it also contributes to their personal development as an individual. For future research, it is suggested that a correlational study between accounting students who employ outlining techniques, and those who do not when writing academic papers be conducted.

Abstract

The study only includes the randomly chosen students from one of the state universities in Tacloban City, Philippines, in its scope. This study takes into account every aspect of the students' individual personal lives, including their understanding and prior experience with internet memes. For this study, the researchers used qualitative research, especially the survey/interview method. This design will be used by the researchers to examine the influence that an internet meme has on an individual across all social media platforms. Studies that use randomization and the evaluation of interventions are known as qualitative research. The following factors contributed to the researchers' decision to randomize the respondents: (1) easy access to study participants, (2) large/universal sample size, and (3) to be able to identify trustworthy participants who, based on their own experiences, have sufficient knowledge of internet memes. Memes can be used to spread a particular message, serve as a platform for mass communication, and serve as a form of entertainment, according to the study's analysis of data from 26 carefully chosen participants. According to the research, it would be preferable for the reader to understand the meme's meaning because it would make it possible for them to more clearly understand the message or even just enjoy the meme. The reader will be able to understand the content as a result.

Abstract

Effective communication plays a crucial role in the hospitality industry's successful service encounter. Although verbal communication is significant for this role, non-verbal communication is just as significant. However, there's a relatively limited body of knowledge about non-verbal communication in the hospitality and tourism literature. Therefore, the study's objectives are to elucidate the perception of Filipino hospitality management student interns of the roles of non-verbal communication and how its dimensions assist in the service encounters. By achieving the abovementioned objectives, the findings have provided valuable insights to the inadequate knowledge. Using a qualitative approach, specifically interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), target students from Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM) taking an internship in Tacloban City. Applying purposive convenience sampling, 18 selected participants who conformed to the criteria were interviewed (semi-structured). The data collected were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's (2021) thematic analysis, followed by Saldaña's (2015) manual coding for the emergence of themes imperative for final conclusions. Findings show that non-verbal communication is an important part of service encounters, promoting effective connections, improving customer satisfaction, and optimizing customer interaction. While the non-verbal dimensions including facial expressions, kinesics, paralinguistics, and proxemics greatly aids by creating exceptional customer experiences and enhancing overall service quality. While the student interns met the customer's demands and forged stronger bonds by effectively utilizing and understanding these non-verbal cues. Therefore, it concludes that non-verbal communication intervention and the assistance provided by its dimensions contribute to successful service encounters and create favorable experiences for both student interns and customers.

Abstract

In the field of empirical pragmatics, a significant amount of research is focused on testing empirical hypotheses derived from the study of linguistic and intellectual pragmatics. Most of this study is centered on analyzing the components of conveyed meaning that Information is "inferred" rather than grasped via linguistic "coding" processes. After solely linguistic meanings have been accessed or computed, pragmatic meanings are said to manifest themselves following this approach.  The purpose of the present study is to dramatically broaden the applicability of exploratory pragmatic research by calling for a much greater emphasis on the complete pragmatics of language use. People's capacity to develop and interpret language in context and real-time is hindered when pragmatic considerations are always present. The field of experimental pragmatics has to pay more attention to the particulars of practical experience. This may be accomplished by taking a more in-depth look at the participants of our research, the precise tasks used to evaluate understanding, and the complex meanings that people interpret in various circumstances. The theoretical analysis of the different physiological, linguistic, and environmental has been analyzed that go into every circumstance of meaning construction is required to fully understand the countless of specifics that make up human pragmatics.

Abstract

The study aims to focus on linguistics as it relates to the instruction of the English language will be the focus of this particular piece of writing. It will discuss the role of linguistics in educating those still working on their English language skills. The literature review, often called library research, is the foundation for data analysis. The comparison technique and the descriptive approach are used throughout the data collection process. Due to the discovery, one can realize that linguistics pays attention to the part it plays in the lecture hall. The definitions of applied linguistics, as well as a development in that definition and the return of the essential subject matter to education and teaching, are presented in this article to assess language instruction through the lens of applied linguistic theory. The most recent results from research in applied linguistics conducted on language instruction are presented here. Teaching the English language is used as an example to integrate it with practical language teaching theory, allowing for the creation of relevant teaching experiments. According to the results, applied linguistic teaching theory may raise the students' desire for learning, which may boost the efficiency with which they acquire a second language. The findings show that the theory of applied linguistics should be built on language teaching, that the method of language teaching should be modified, and that improvements should be made to the information transferred to students.

Abstract

Information is central to all forms of human activity no matter the field, be it medicine, agriculture, tourism or engineering. There is the need for exchange of information to ensure completion of tasks. Inefficiency will be the results, where this exchange of information is slow or there is a break down. For this reason, information is regarded as a vital resource that needs to be properly developed, because it has boomerang effect on society. News media ownership assumes different characteristics depending on whether and when it is profitable or politically interesting to own media. When investing in news production is economically beneficial, it typically attracts corporate owners aiming to maximize profit on the public stock market. When investments in news production are politically beneficial, it typically attracts industry, military, or partisan ownership. When news media ownership is not economically beneficial, as has been the development in Western media systems in recent years, it attracts a variety of owners with different motives.

Abstract

In the realm of language teaching and learning, Task-Based Learning (TBL) has emerged as a prominent methodology, garnering substantial attention since the 1980s. This approach, characterized by its focus on real-world tasks as the central unit of instruction, has gained popularity globally, notably in English language classes in Indonesia. TBL's emphasis on establishing a purpose for language use and fostering natural meaning in language learning has contributed to its widespread adoption. This paper delves into the ideas and principles that underpin Task-Based Learning, exploring its effectiveness in classrooms. This study aims to elucidate the rationale for teachers to implement Task-Based Learning in the language classroom and to provide practical insights into the effective implementation of TBL during classroom instruction. The discussion unfolds by introducing and describing the key features of TBL, subsequently delving into its characteristics, approaches, benefits, and framework. To achieve these objectives, a comprehensive literature review will be conducted, drawing on scholarly works, empirical studies, and educational reports related to Task-Based Learning. Additionally, qualitative data will be gathered through interviews with language educators experienced in implementing TBL. The analysis will involve synthesizing findings from the literature review and identifying recurrent themes and successful practices through the teacher interviews. The analysis phase will involve a thematic examination of the literature, exploring the various facets of TBL, including its theoretical underpinnings, practical approaches, and observed benefits in language classrooms. The insights gathered from teacher interviews will be triangulated with the existing literature to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges and successes associated with the implementation of TBL. This holistic approach aims to offer a comprehensive view of TBL in language education. In conclusion, this paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on language pedagogy by advocating for the implementation of Task-Based Learning in language classrooms. By synthesizing theoretical concepts, practical approaches, and the experiences of educators, the study provides a compelling case for the efficacy of TBL. The insights offered herein aim to empower teachers with the knowledge and strategies needed to successfully integrate TBL into their instructional practices, fostering a dynamic and purposeful language learning environment.
