<![CDATA[Linguistic prejudice is a hidden message used by speakers of a language in daily conversations, either individually or in groups, through implicature and is fixated later as an idiom. Linguistic prejudice, an output of negative stereotypes and bountiful appearance in utterances, excludes others from goodness and virtues to show itself as excellent and perfect. Now, the Kurdish language is developing and enriching in the linguistic field. Its linguists and researchers always try to purify it from other languages' hegemony and effect to put it on the right track and make it stand firm before other languages, particularly those of neighboring nations. But, mainly for the sake of serving this noble purpose, they followed the same mistakes ways and policies of other languages. Therefore linguistic prejudice has been noticed in various aspects and fields. This research tries to show linguistic prejudice and its types. What do we mean by linguistic prejudice, and what are its types? Does linguistic prejudice is used in language? What is the relation between intolerance of speech and racial, social, religious, scientific … etc. discrimination? Understanding that relationship will help us to apprehend the general attitude of human beings better than before, which use those solid utterances as they have agreed on them like a collective agreement. The research will pose sufficient examples for each type and discuss each in depth and detail.]]>

<![CDATA[The information inside sentences is conveyed from different perspectives. Tense, which becomes the primary source of information in sentences, is the different categories of verb inflection (Mahwi & Aziz,2018). Sentence structures are the various and also specific components of the speakers' intended Syntax and Semantics situations (Gharib & Ismail, 2019). The information of time inside a simple sentence concerns the contents of time of a single verb. On the other hand, complex sentences require two sources of information about the tense of the verbs. Tense agreement in sentences depends on the structure and elements inside complex sentences. Thus, all of the (complex sentences, tense, tense agreement) will be the analysis source in this research paper. For this purpose, special attention is given to each of the three mentioned ones, and the nature of their sequences in the language is analyzed with examples in the Kurdish language.]]>

<![CDATA[Determiners are morphemes that occur before a noun to express what the noun refers to and are used to identify things. The present study attempts to find the difficulties Kurdish EFL students face when using English determiners. The study also tries to evaluate Kurdish EFL students' ability to use English determiners appropriately at recognition and production levels. To achieve the study's aims, answer its questions, and test the hypotheses, the researchers constructed an achievement test to collect data and measure the students' performance with regard to English determiners at both recognition and production levels. The test was answered by thirty-one English department students at Halabja university who were chosen randomly including both genders. The data collected from the test were analyzed, and the results showed that the participant's performance at the production level was lower than the recognition level. The results necessitate more training on using English determiners through comprehensive lessons and activities that can enhance Kurdish EFL learners' language proficiency]]>

<![CDATA[The observed low reading proficiency among Indonesian students can be attributed to several variables, such as the level of readability or the degree of text difficulty. The comprehension of the suitability of texts for students was of utmost importance for English teachers. The correlational research methodology was employed in this study to ascertain the presence or absence of a statistically significant relationship between student reading comprehension and the outcome variable under investigation. The participants of this study consisted of tenth-grade students from SMA Gajah Mada and SMAN 7 Bandar Lampung, who were selected to participate in the research project conducted throughout the 2020-2021 academic year. To acquire pertinent data regarding the reading comprehension abilities of pupils, an assessment specifically designed to evaluate reading comprehension was administered. A total of 12 narrative reading materials were identified in this study, sourced from three different textbooks: the Pathway to English Textbook published by Erlangga, the Talk Active Textbook authored by Yudhistira, and the Bahasa Inggris Textbook developed by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The researcher evaluated text readability using the Flesch Reading Ease Formula, with the subsequent classification of the readability level based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) Level.

<![CDATA[Context clues are valuable tools employed by authors to assist readers in comprehending unfamiliar or complex vocabulary. These clues, whether intentionally or inadvertently provided, facilitate the reader's understanding and interpretation of the word in question. Drawing upon Bauman's theoretical framework, the present study sought to investigate the diverse contextual cues utilized by the author within the literary work entitled "Jet Black and the Ninja Wind." The primary objective of this investigation was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the semantic nuances associated with unfamiliar lexical items employed in the literary work "Jet Black and the Ninja Wind." Additionally, this study aimed to identify and analyze the predominant types of contextual cues prominently present within the book above. In this study, a descriptive qualitative approach was utilized by the researcher. The data collection method employed in this study involved the utilization of documentation as a means to gather relevant information. The human instrument, the researcher herself, was utilized as the primary instrument in this research endeavor. The data analysis process in this study consisted of three distinct stages: data condensing, data displaying, and conclusion drawing. Investigator triangulation was also employed in this study to corroborate and substantiate the findings derived from the comprehensive analysis of the collected data. After conducting an extensive examination of Jet Black and the Ninja Wind, 56 unfamiliar terms were identified. These terms were subsequently categorized into four distinct groups, taking into consideration contextual clues that suggested each group possessed a particular semantic significance. The categorization of context hint types encompasses inference/general cues, synonym/restatement clues, antonym/contrast clues, and definition/explanation clues. In the literary work entitled "Jet Black and the Ninja Wind," the author predominantly utilized various types of context clues, including but not limited to synonym/restatement clues, inference/general hint clues, definition/explanation clues, and antonym/contrast clues.]]>
