This thesis examines whether the use of L1 (Sinhala) could be validated across high, intermediate, and low learner proficiency levels in English. Sociolinguistically, the complex ontological and epistemological milieu of ESL in Sri Lanka granted this thesis an entrée for scrutinizing the evolution of resistance to English in the undergraduate participants. The findings of pilot studies validated the expulsion of high proficiency learners from the procedures of L1 integration. Conversely a significant % mean increase across the intermediate and the low proficiency learners was revealed under the Sinhala Gloss (SG) condition. The mean comparison for both populations was equal and low for No Gloss (NG) and English Gloss (EG) conditions resulting in the gloss condition performance indicator NG = EG SG. Scaffolding these findings to pedagogy, the study confines integrating L1 to skill development in lexical comprehension mechanisms in low and intermediate proficiency learners and discusses developing L2 inferring skills in the high proficiency learners. ····· 1036120479

The stimulus for this research study is to create harmony between English and Punjabi native speakers by having awareness of differences in the cultural conventions in making requests. It is evident from the results & findings of this study that in spite of the fact that there is great difference in the execution of request statements from the people of both cultural groups yet they are identical in their pragmatic perception or sensitivity of politeness in the speech act of request. Moreover, the stereotypes of less polite or unfriendly attitude of Punjabi ESLs in cross-cultural communication more especially in the speech act of request, is originated by the socio-cultural conventions of English society, lack of pragmatic competence of English language of Punjabi ESLs and excellence of linguistic competence of English L1s. ····· 1036120416
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Tanzania, like many other multilingual communities globally, has not eluded the problem of Language of Instruction (LOI). As a result, nearly five decades, English, the LOI in secondary schools and high education, has been a scapegoat of many secondary school students academic failure. The book shows clearly that English Language Proficiency (ELP) predicts future academic success of students. However, the influence is not as great as the proponents of Kiswahili exaggerate it to be this is to say, it is the non-ELP factors that affect performance greatly. The author therefore, concludes that the use of O- level and A-level secondary school results alone, as it is done in Tanzania and elsewhere, to predict one s capacity for secondary and higher education respectively is not enough since academic performance is an interplay of a number of factors. The book is invaluable for language teachers, teachers in training, University students,language policy makers and curriculum developers. ····· 1036120366

The purpose of this research study, therefore, was threefold: primarily, to investigate the impact of digital storytelling on EFL learners` speaking skills, secondly, to reveal learners` attitude towards implementing the program, and thirdly, to report students` learning behaviors when using the program. Accordingly, this quasi-experimental study revealed the effect of a 7-week`s instructional treatment on speaking skills carried out in experimental group. A traditional method of storytelling was employed in the control group. The instrumentations used for data collection constituted pre and post tests, an attitudinal questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview, which served to collect qualitative and quantitative data, respectively. The results of statistical analysis displayed that there was a trend towards significant gains in the learners` oral production after the treatment.

Moreover, an attempt was made to reveal the participants` learning behaviors and strategies when using the program. From two groups involved in the study, the experimental group received treatment, whereas the control group received placebo. The study comprised both quantitative(pre and post tests, attitudinal questionnaire) and qualitative(semi-structured interview) data collection instruments. The findings of the study indicated that the application of Voki might be an appropriate method for improving EFL learners` speaking skills. Furthermore, the results confirmed that the learners had positive attitude towards the program, as it provided a learning environment that was fun, enjoyable, stress free and effective for improving their speaking skills. Moreover, it was revealed that the participants had a number of learning strategies that they used when creating their Vokis. ····· 1036120059
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Writers in different fields utilize different means to achieve success in the communication of their intended meaning to their audience. By manipulating textual resources, writers sometimes say something and mean something different. Much has been said and written about discourse properties such as cohesion and coherence which contribute to what is called texture in a text. The use of such textual resources has been extensively examined in a variety of written and spoken genres. Along the same line of enquiry, a more recent approach in applied linguistics in general and discourse analysis in particular has been to investigate the distribution of meta-textual devices in academic writings, with little attention paid to such resources in literary writing. Intended to apply the trend of research on meta-text to literary form of discourse, this monograph sets out to compare the use of such resources in novels of both original nature and their simplified versions. The audience of the book are primarily researchres in discourse anlaysis and those interesred in text and literary analysis. ····· 1036120055

The reality of dalit literature is distinct so is the language of this reality. It uses the uncouth, impolite spoken language, the dialect that is specific to dalits of a region, wherever possible and emphasizes the faithful reflection of the heartrending dalit experience in terms as simple as possible. There are correspondingly two parts to the book the first offers an account of Dalit writing s academic and intellectual background, and the second elaborates the themes and issues which have most engaged the attention of Dalit writings. In the main, the intellectual history of Dalit literature is marked by dialectic between Indian Writing in English, on the one hand, and their exposures in dalit narratives, on the other. So, too, this theoretical contestation informs the academic content of Dalit analysis, manifesting itself in an ongoing debate between the competing claims of nationalism and internationalism, strategic essentialism and hybridity, solidarity and dispersal. ····· 1036119921
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book explores the pragmatic phenomena, the pragmatic losses and the pragmatic misinterpretations in the translation of the suras of The Cow, Joseph and The Cave. It sheds light on the problematics of translating the meaning of the Qur`an into English. It represents a link between pragmatics and translation. This inter-disciplinary approach has been overlooked in the translational process of the sacred text. The study investigates high sensitive areas in the core texture of translation. It tackles the thorny problems of meaning , ambiguity , verbal irony, collocation , body language, synecdoche , apposition , rhetorical question , euphemism , colour , serial verb construction , stretched verb constructions , reciprocal verb and pragmatic use and usage. On the other hand, the translation of the meaning of the Qur`an suffers pragmatic losses. These sharp losses are vivid in genre , texture , culture-specifics ,oath particles, emphasizers , onomatopoeia , cadence , alliteration , assonance , consonance , assimilation , duration and morpho-phonetic differences . Finally, this study mirrors the misinterpretations and provides a solution if possible via correcting the mistakes. ····· 1036119775

The aim of this handbook is to offer the first truly integrated survey of this interdisciplinary and international field of Nineteenth Century Poets. Romantic writing, for the purposes of this volume, is defined to include poetry, prose (essays of various kinds and informal writings such as letters), that was being written at the same time. The best known poets who wrote during the period were Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, but this book also provides a generous selection of poets, including the major poets whose work is now arousing considerable interest. The concise presentation of the main concepts of Social and Cultural Outlook of every poet is intended not only to offer readers a unique overview of current research in the field it is also meant to serve as a forum for bringing together approaches from areas as varied as neurosciences and literary history, thus adding further contour and depth to this emergent field of study. ····· 1036119754
····· lezzter Preis 71.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Even though Yoknapatawpha County and the novels which brought it into existence are ultimately William Faulkner s imaginative creations, they have a very strong relationship to the American South, and Faulkner s home region in northern Mississippi in particular. This part of the United States underwent a transforming process of social change during Faulkner s life, and Faulkner monitored closely the disruptive consequences of the transformation of his region from a rural place, dominated by an agricultural economy to a new South, with a more diversified economy. He also observed the repercussions of this transformation in the form of social conflicts and contradictions. This study reads the Yoknapatawpha novels as Faulkner s literary response to the disruptive processes of social change and their consequences. It examines the influence of Faulkner`s creative engagement with social change, especially the way the narrative and thematic structures of his Yoknapatawpha novels are shaped by the force of change in the areas of economy, gender, and race. ····· 1036119678

This paper specifically looks at the trouble of the individuals living in such a post-colonial world, relating this with the individual in the psychoanalytic theory who faces similar sort of alienation in the Lacanian Symbolic Order. For the careful analysis, Lacanian Mirror Stage, Freudian psychoanalysis, nationalism, decolonization etc are described which would explain the experience of the never ending attempt of the individual in particular and the colonized society in general to go back for finding to meet the unconscious that is, the desire to be in fullness of power in the imaginary world with the mother or the pre-colonial states. Divided into several parts, this paper, after showing the conflicts raised following the imposition of the colonial or patriarchal rules, describes the process of turning back to the innocence or or the pre-colonial state and finally elaborates how, when the conflicts are unresolved, the problems become permanent which could emphasize the ongoing colonizer-colonized relationship as complex and distressing. ····· 1036119348

The existence of literary mythos, poetry, drama and fiction illustrated certain structures of national sensibility. Many literary stalwarts tried to exemplify certain factorial ethics through powerful and striking style of literary writings. Eugene O Neil is no exception and showed a profound understanding by exploring human nature and experiences with great attention. The present work is on Eugene O Neil s Expressionistic approach to drama, exclusively from his two plays, The Emperor Jones and The Hairy Ape. Expressionism is a style of art, literature and music which symbols and exaggeration to represent emotions rather than representing physical reality. The book takes the study of these two plays where expressionism formed the basis to explore the inner reality than the external. It is a technical movement as the stage that stands between the author and the audience. It is a flawless work done on Eugene O Neil s attention and persisting exploration to give the healing treatment from conventional drama to realism and symbolism. ····· 1036118919

It also includes the methodology used and self-evaluation. A change in the evaluation or testing is very necessary. It needs to be made more pragmatic rather than be critical.

In current study, the participants were divided into low and high proficiency levels by administering a TOEFL test. This led to formation of two proficiency levels, 60 participants in each level, totaling 120 participants. Then, each proficiency level was classified into three groups, two experimental groups and one control group. The first experimental group received focused corrective feedback the second experimental group received unfocused corrective feedback, while the third one, as a control group, received no feedback. The ANOVA tests with post-hoc comparisons indicated that focused group did better than both unfocused and control groups in terms of accurate use of English articles in both proficiency levels.

The second, is a quantitative phase that followed up on the qualitative phase for the purpose of expanding and generalizing the results of the generated themes. In the quantitative phase, a cross-sectional survey of 1500 number of undergraduate students who were taking Basic English courses was administered. A total of 1006 questionnaires was valid for analysis. However, only 408 questionnaires were randomly chosen according to the criteria of quota sampling techniques. The findings revealed that there were two aspects of foreign language reading anxiety: personal factor and text feature. Under the personal factor there were two main sources which are afraid of making errors and worry about reading effects. On the other hand, there were three main sources sources under the text feature which are unknown vocabulary, unfamiliar topic, and unfamiliar culture. ····· 1036118574· 1 · ::::: · 10 ·· 11 ·· 12 ·· 13 ·· 14 ·· 15 ·· 16 · ::::: · 17 ·
