Abstract

For the Western consciousness, madness has always welled up simultaneously at multiple points, forming a constellation that slowly shifts from one form to another, its face perhapshiding an enigmatic truth. Meaning here is always fractured. William Shakespeare is renowned for his capacity to manufacture imagination and a great master of his use of psychological studies in the portrayals of insanity. In general, his artwork shows a keen knowledge of human nature. He has a thorough understanding of the human psyche, personality, and actions. Shakespeare's protagonist Hamlet assimilates madness in the most obstinate wisdom. This wisdom may be thin, but it reigns supreme. It presupposes and requires a perpetual doubling of the consciousness of madness, which disappears beneath the surface of madness, only to reappear again on the other side. The paper is an attempt to explore the mindscape of Prince Hamlet using the theoretical base of Michel Foucault's discourse on madness and the formation of power dichotomy. The paper also envisions a Lacanian regeneration of desire, sexuality, and narrative hegemony.

Abstract

Reflective teaching is vital for improving teaching performance. Self-reflection has been expected to bring a positive impact on reflective teaching. Hence, this study explores the significance of reflective teaching with two research questions: 1) How is reflective teaching through self-reflection seen? 2) What are the best strategies for implementingreflective teaching? The study was conducted with a qualitative approach through systematic review by analyzing some studies related to the research variables. Previous studies on the research questions were formulated, followed by analyzing and synthesizing the data. The result of the study indicates that the importance of journaling or keeping a diary for teachers as a means of self-reflection is still relevant today and still plays a role in teaching reflection. However, teaching reflection alone does not completely assist teachers in receiving thorough and beneficial reflection to enhance their teaching performance. Other important strategies such as peer observation, reflection training, peer observation, and the use of students such as students' assessment and results also carry out important parts in reflective teaching.

Abstract

This study deals with the significance of parental involvement in students’ English learning. It centres its focus primarily on the students and tries to explore their take on their parents’ participation regarding L2 learning and also wishes to uncover some effective methods that might be used by parents to facilitate children’s English language learning. The findings indicate that students viewed the support from their family while learning English as something nonexpendable. Not only did parents’ active involvement leave a mark on students’ academic achievement, but also it seemed to affect the students’ psychology positively. Students with a higher degree of parental involvement, in the study, displayed greater self-confidence while interacting in the target language and also were appreciative of the support that they received from home. Contrarily, their counterparts, who did not have any noteworthy assistance from their parents, regretted not having it and saw it as an obvious drawback in their L2 learning. The study also shows that parents simply reading storybooks, watching English movies, or playing word games with their children aids English learning. Hence, recommendations were made to introduce parental involvement more extensively and as an academic and instructional mechanism for more productive L2 learning.
