Abstract

As an iconic intellectual, novelist, translator and poet in the 20th century, 钱钟书 Qian Zhongshu (1910-1998) was not only celebrated for literary aptitude, epitomised by his chef-d'oeuvre 围城 Wei Cheng "˜Fortress Besieged' (serialised 1946-1947), but also for his unrivalled erudition, multilingualism and critical acumen. Qian Zhongshu was versed in Chinese and Western studies, encompassing literature, philosophy, psychology, history, aesthetics, etc. Qian Zhongshu's commendable scholarly research can be exemplified by an encyclopaedic masterpiece entitled 管锥编 Guan Zhui Bian "˜Limited Views: Essays on Ideas and Letters' (1979), which is constituted of a prodigious amount of reading notes and essays written in concise, recondite Classical Chinese. Notwithstanding its self-deprecating title, Guan Zhui Bian has attained critical plaudits. In a web-based time-travel novel 上品寒士 Shangpin Han Shi "˜A Top-Ranked Impoverished Scholar' (2009-2011) composed by a writer pseudonymised as 贼道三痴 Zeidaosanchi, the author deployed elements from Guan Zhui Bian, which defies the stereotype that male-authored and male-oriented online narratives are prone to be "˜feel-good writing' marked by 意淫 yi yin "˜lust of the mind; mental pornography'. To be more specific, the author drew on Qian Zhongshu's elaboration of 玄学 xuanxue (Lit. "˜learning in the profound') and analyses of metaphor.

Abstract

Teaching practicum is crucial for pre-service EFL teachers' professional development.  Many studies have investigated student-teachers' performance in teaching practicum in various aspects.  However, research on their performance in constructing test items in teaching practicum has not been found. Test construction is an essential pedagogical competence that student-teachers must master.  Investigating their performance in test construction may give valuable feedback to student-teachers and for teacher education. To fill the research gap, this study conducted an item analysis of a formative test constructed by two student-teachers in a teaching practicum. It revealed that the DP of the items have good quality but the FV analysis showed there is no difficult item suggesting that they cannot make difficult questions.   The test reliability is high (0.900625) but there are 6 invalid items. Three items contain grammatical errors creating students' confusion influencing the FV, DP, and the validity.  It revealed that the test makers' grammar mastery may determine item quality. It suggests student-teachers improve their grammar mastery, and teacher education improves the quality of English grammar teaching and refine their curriculum of evaluation and language testing subjects and include the evaluation of student-teachers' performance in language assessment in teaching practicum program as a focus.

Abstract

This paper aims to describe the types of modality expressions in English and Indonesian folktales and to examine the extent to which these two groups of writers express modality differently. This study was conducted as descriptive qualitative research, focusing on the use of modalities in Indonesian and English folktales. A total of 30 folktales were collected from the United States, Britain, and Indonesia as the data sources. The data were analyzed based on the theories of Nuyts (2002) and Bybee (1994). The results show that native English writers tend to express deontic modality primarily through modal auxiliaries such as shall, should, can, could, must, and may. However, epistemic meanings are conveyed not only through modal auxiliaries but also through adjectives, adverbs, and lexical verbs, with lexical verbs being the most frequently used. In contrast, non-native writers used fewer varieties of modality expressions, including modal auxiliaries, adjectives, adverbs, lexical verbs, and multi-word units, often relying on the same types of expressions across the folktales. Unlike deontic modality, the folktales are rich in epistemic modality, as the writers used a wider range of expressions to convey these meanings.

Abstract

The phenomenon of food vloggers sharing their culinary experiences through videos presents an interesting area for sociopragmatic studies. This research focuses on understanding the social interactions and pragmatic contexts within food vlogging content. Specifically, the study aims to map the development of sociopragmatic research on the YouTube platform in relation to food vlogging. Using qualitative methods and bibliometric analysis, this study identifies and analyzes publications related to sociopragmatics and food vlogging from electronic databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Keywords such as "sociopragmatics," "food vlogging," and "YouTube" were used to gather relevant data. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using Publish or Perish and VOSviewer software, enabling the processing and visualization of data in this field. The findings indicate a growing interest in food vlogging as a research subject, although studies explicitly examining sociopragmatic aspects remain limited. These findings highlight opportunities for in-depth research on sociopragmatic aspects, such as the use of speech acts, politeness in language, vloggers' communication strategies, interactions between vloggers and viewers, the construction and negotiation of social identities in vlog content, and the reflection of cultural values and social norms in social media interactions, particularly on YouTube.

Abstract

This study explores the use of the transference translation procedure in translating proper names in the novel Cigarette Girl by Ratih Kumala. It aims to determine the frequency of transference translation procedure usage in translating proper names and to investigate the reasons behind the translator's decision to retain certain names unmodified. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected from the English and Indonesian versions of Cigarette Girl through observation and note-taking, then analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that the transference procedure was used a total of 62 times in translating proper names. The highest frequency of transference application was found in the categories of personal names and personifications, with a total of 30 instances. The lowest frequency was in the category of unique event names, with only one instance. The primary reason for using the transference procedure was to preserve the specific meanings embedded in the original names.

Abstract

The ability to speak effectively refers to an individual's capacity to convey thoughts and ideas orally. Various teaching strategies are employed to enhance speaking skills, with traditional methods primarily relying on teacher-driven assessments. However, incorporating peer assessment has emerged as a valuable approach that enables students to identify their strengths and areas for improvement, promoting the development of language proficiency, metacognitive awareness, and related skills. This study aims to implement peer assessment as an alternative evaluative method in the Speaking in Academic Contexts course, which includes both informative and persuasive speech tasks. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, with mean and standard deviation calculations comparing peer assessment scores to those assigned by the instructor. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was applied to determine statistically significant differences between the two sets of scores. Qualitative data, derived from students' reflections, were analyzed using thematic analysis. Overall, students in the Speaking in Academic Contexts course reported positive perceptions of peer assessment, recognizing its potential to enhance their language skills and foster learner autonomy.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the extent to which the use of the Undercover Game could improve Indonesian English course students' vocabulary mastery. The study involved eight senior high school students enrolled in an English course at an institution in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was employed, consisting of three cycles, each of which included planning, acting and observing, and re-planning phases, with an observation checklist and field notes used as data collection instruments. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted before Cycle 1 and after Cycle 3, respectively. Based on the observations, using the Undercover Game helped students find and practice English vocabulary in a fun and engaging way. However, the results of a paired sample t-test indicated that there was no significant difference in these students' vocabulary mastery before and after using the game. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring instructional game rules, designs, and implementations to fit classroom conditions, including adjusting the difficulty level of the games and providing necessary support during gameplay. Future studies could investigate the use of the Undercover Game over a longer period to obtain more comprehensive findings.
