Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the language style employed in press statements issued by the Walt Disney Company, focusing on comprehending how this language style contributes to effective corporate communication. A qualitative descriptive methodology was applied, with the research drawing upon press statements available on Walt Disney's official website. The analysis of language style was based on the principles of sentence structure as outlined by Gorys Keraf, encompassing five distinct styles: climax, anti-climax, parallelism, antithesis, and repetition. The findings of this research revealed that repetition emerged as the predominant language style, accounting for 50% of the language styles identified, while anti-climax was the least frequently used, making up only 2%. This prevalence of repetition in press statements was observed to serve the purpose of reinforcing key messages, aiding reader recall, and ultimately facilitating more effective communication. This research explores how language style is important in business communication, using the well-known example of the Walt Disney Company. This research is looking at how the specific way language is used in their press statements helps them communicate better. These findings can be useful in different areas, like marketing, public relations, and business communication. Furthermore, this study demonstrates how analyzing language can help us understand the different styles companies use in their communication.

Abstract

This work examined the place of naming, most especially place name in the derivation of Yoruba riddle known as “àlọ́ àpamọ̀”. The main thrust of this work is to examine and analyse the importance of place names as source material in the derivation of selected Yoruba riddles. The aim of this work is to examine the role place names play in the derivation and construction of Yoruba riddles. The theory adopted for this work is the sociological theory of literature and the model adopted under this theory is the mirror image approach which sees literature as the reflection of the society. Data for this research work were gathered from oral documentation through structured interviews and informal gathering of data in different social gatherings. The researcher also makes use of relevant data from existing literatures on Yoruba riddles such as Ajayi (1990), Akinyemi (2015) etc. Some of the place names that are used in the derivation of some Yorùbá riddles as analysed include important cities such as Ìbàdàn, Ọ̀yọ́, Ilé-Ifẹ̀ and Ìkòyí. From the research carried out, the researcher observed the followings (i) place-name derive Yoruba riddles mirror the habit, traits and character of the people of the towns and cities whose names were used in the derivation of the riddles. It was observed that place-name derived Yoruba riddles can be classified as a distinct type of riddle. It was also discovered that place-name derive Yorùbá riddles are sources of historical construction and reconstruction, purveyor of Yoruba culture and system of government. In conclusion, it is established that place name serves as source of derivation for Yoruba riddles and can be used as an instrument of oral histography.

Abstract

This study delves into the nuanced practice of code-switching (CS) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms in Vietnam, examining its implications for language learning from both educators' and learners' perspectives. Through a mixed-methods approach, involving surveys and interviews with 225 ESL students and 8 experienced ESL lecturers at a renowned public university in Ho Chi Minh City, this research illuminates the multifaceted role of CS in enhancing comprehension, engagement, and linguistic proficiency. The findings reveal a general preference among students for a balanced use of English and Vietnamese, underscoring the pedagogical value of strategic CS in facilitating understanding and reducing the affective filter in language learning. Educators' narratives highlight the benefits and challenges of CS in maintaining English exposure while accommodating diverse learner needs. The study also uncovers emerging issues, such as the impact of digital and online learning environments on CS practices and the influence of external expectations on educators' language use decisions. By integrating insights from existing literature, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay between language use and educational outcomes in bilingual settings, advocating for flexible, learner-centered teaching approaches that accommodate the evolving landscape of language education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine what morphological level errors appear in college students' translation of recount texts from Indonesian to English based on Dulay's theory of surface strategy taxonomy. Referring on this theory, errors are divided into omission, addition, mis-formation and mis-ordering. This study was conducted in a descriptive qualitative method. The population was the members of UKM Bahasa Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Intan Lampung with the sample used in this study were 15 members of UKM Bahasa taken with random sampling technique by sharing the Google Form link to all the population and only collected 15 participants. The data of this study were participants' translation results in translating recount text from Indonesian to English, which they sent in the Google Form link. The result of this study shows that there are 130 morphological errors made by students in translating recount text. The most common morphological error is inflectional error, which appears 37 times; the least common is pronoun error, and the auxiliary error, which appears 6 times. Meanwhile, the most common error in the surface level of taxonomy strategy is mis-formation error which appears 58 times, followed by omission error 42 times and addition error 30 times.

Abstract

The Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR), adopted by the Council of Europe (2001), is an action-based framework for language education, teaching and assessment in Europe. CEFR's descriptions of language skills across all skill levels can guide language learners, educators, and assessors. Alongside language-related issues, one phenomenon considered highly by the CEFR is culture – a concept intricately connected with language. Given the significance of culture and related concepts for language education, this study evaluated the CEFR and Companion Volume to draw inferences about culture and explore the possible implications for language learners. To this end, the two volumes were subjected to content analysis. Findings indicated several types of cultural awareness (n=7), knowledge (n=4), competence (n=8), and strategy (n=1) that language learners must adopt for successful cross-cultural interactions. These cultural expectations might also be considered under plurilinguistic awareness, knowledge, competence, and strategies. The study is expected to contribute theoretically and practically since it intends to bridge the literature gap. Prospective research, however, is urged to corroborate the findings. Furthermore, the study is expected to guide future studies tackling the significance of culture for language learners within the CEFR.
