Advertisements are a powerful medium of communication because they often embed social messages in a few words or visuals. One such advertisement is the focus of the current study: Maybelline’s Make It Happen advertisement which conveys strong feministic values via the use of verbal and nonverbal signs. Being a product of mainly women’s interest, the advertisers bank upon the prevalent geopolitics to convey a dominant ideology: Women are equal competitors to men, and they can achieve this without having to forego all that they identify with their ‘being’. The study set out to (1) identify verbal and nonverbal signs in the Maybelline Make it Happen advertisement and (2) examine how the verbal and nonverbal signs present feminism values. The study uses a qualitative method and two theories in analyzing the data: Semiotic Theory by Saussure as cited by Daniel (2002), and Theory of Feminism by Abramovitz (1996). The finding shows that the verbal signs in this advertisement typically use motivating sentences which represent feminism values, while the nonverbal signs use colors, body language, outfits of the models, and the circumstance around the models, all of which play an important role in portraying feminism values.
广告是一种强大的沟通媒介，因为它们通常在几个单词或图像中嵌入社会信息。其中一个这样的广告是当前研究的重点:美宝莲的Make It Happen广告通过使用语言和非语言符号传达了强烈的女权主义价值观。作为一种主要为女性利益服务的产品，广告商依靠流行的地缘政治来传达一种占主导地位的意识形态:女性与男性是平等的竞争对手，她们可以在不放弃所有她们认同的“存在”的情况下实现这一点。该研究旨在(1)识别美宝莲“让它发生”广告中的语言和非语言符号，(2)研究语言和非语言符号如何呈现女权主义价值观。本研究采用定性方法，并采用两种理论分析数据:Daniel(2002)引用的索绪尔的符号学理论和Abramovitz(1996)的女性主义理论。研究发现，该广告中的语言符号典型地使用了代表女权主义价值观的激励句，而非语言符号则使用了模特的颜色、肢体语言、服装以及模特周围的环境，这些都在塑造女权主义价值观方面发挥了重要作用。

This paper presents a content analysis study that aimed at investigating the L2 learning strategies (LLS) across three units in each of the six textbooks in the new set of secondary school EFL textbooks, ‘Mega Goal’, based on the lists of learning strategies adapted from Chamot and Schmitt: (vocabulary learning strategies, reading strategies and, speaking and writing strategies). Content analysis undertaken by the researchers brought to light the need to develop a framework and thereby embark upon evolving appropriate strategies for teaching-learning of EFL to the secondary school students in Saudi Arabia. The results also show that there is no explicit presentation of LLS. However, some vocabulary and most reading and writing strategies searched for are implicitly used in the instructions in the language activities in the analyzed books. The study concludes that the books need to be modified by adding explicit instruction of learning strategies and including more vocabulary strategies. It is suggested that teachers should be given orientation training programmes for proper appreciation of the teaching-learning strategies. The paper ends with suggestions for further research.

Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is based on decision model to measure alternative with shortest distance to positive ideal solution and the farthest distance from negative ideal solution. With growing complexity in decision making, vagueness and uncertainty often exist in human judgement. To manage conflicting criteria, a hierarchy structure in TOPSIS is proposed where the main criteria, sub-criteria, and alternatives are arranged in multi-level. To rate each alternatives, the weight of each criterion is evaluated using linguistic value before converted into fuzzy number as a way to measure the experts opinion. In this paper, we demonstrates our general framework for the development of hierarchal fuzzy TOPSIS. We also highlighted our initial finding on the criteria and alternatives in our case study i.e. selection of decomposition technology for food waste management. It is anticipates our work will contributes better decision making in the related area.
TOPSIS (Order Performance by Similarity by Ideal Solution)是一种基于决策模型来度量与正理想解距离最短和与负理想解距离最远的方案。随着决策的日益复杂，人类的判断往往存在模糊性和不确定性。为了管理相互冲突的标准，在TOPSIS中提出了一种层次结构，将主标准、子标准和备选标准分层排列。为了对每个备选方案进行评级，首先使用语言值来评估每个标准的权重，然后将其转换为模糊数来衡量专家的意见。在本文中，我们展示了我们开发层次模糊TOPSIS的一般框架。我们还强调了我们在案例研究中对标准和替代方案的初步发现，即选择用于食物垃圾管理的分解技术。预计我们的工作将有助于相关领域更好的决策。

Like all art, movies are a representation of the society and vice versa. Among other things, movies entertain, educate, and inspire us, giving us role models or themes to follow. Accordingly, the ingredients that go into the making of a movie need to agree with and appeal to the cultural ethos of the viewers it is intended for. In book adaptations of movies, the very multiplicity of readings renders a variety of meanings to a text, giving it dimensions that were perhaps not envisaged by the original writer. This paper is an extended discussion and examination of kinds of alterations seen in two adaptations of Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest: The Forbidden Planet in (1956) as directed by Fred Wilcox, and The Tempest in (2010) as directed by Julie Taymor. These two versions are set apart by almost six decades, yet what brings them in close proximity is their interest with gender roles and their portrayal. These are tackled very differently as where the former tends to stay close to the mores of a male centric American society of 1950s while at the same time giving the viewers a good dose of a newfound love of science fiction, the latter indulges in completely feministic fantasy with a central figure like Prospero being portrayed as a female. Although the two versions can be compared and contrasted on many counts apart from this centrality, for ease of inquiry the current discussion was more focused on the representations of the main characters, Caliban, Ariel, and Prospero and their varied physical characteristics from one film to the other. This study examined the verbal and physical adaptations of these characters as mediums of interaction with the viewers throughout the showing mode. The study finally shines the spotlight on the contemporary political issues that are represented in yet another version of the same play, Prospero’s Books (1991). The study argues that The Tempest, in each of these film versions, represents different cultural agendas.

The present study tackles category shifts in simultaneous interpreting in one of the Canadian Prime Minster, Justin Trudeau's, speeches. Translation shifts, especially category shifts, are very common in simultaneous interpreting from English into Arabic. The four types of category shifts, i.e., structure shifts, unit shifts, class shifts and intrasystem shifts, are investigated and analyzed in this study. The interpreting is done from English which is Trudeau’s native language into Arabic. After analyzing Trudeau's speech both in his native language, English, and the target language, Arabic, the study comes up with some interesting results. For example, structure shift is shown to be the most common and widely used one; whereas intra-system shift is the least common one. However, this does not mean that the latter rarely occurs. All of the four shifts regularly occur in simultaneous interpreting but in different degrees. No one can say that those shifts undermine or belittle the interpreting process. On the contrary, they suggest that the interpreter is well qualified in both languages that he can smoothy shift between structures, units, classes and intra-systems of both source and target languages without affecting the quality of the interpreting.

This article studies the problem of social networks use as a platform for political mobilization of society’s protest potential. Social networks are tools for spreading information. The aim of the article is to study the role of exposure and perspectives of social networks’ usage in the formation and implementation of the protest potential in the society. Disclosed technological aspects, forms and methods of social networks’ use as a means of formation and implementation of public protest potential. This article addressed practical experience of public’s political mobilization in Ukraine and the Middle East. Actualized the tendency to use social networks as a medium of dissent formation and processes control instrument of political mobilization of the society. It was shown the basic directions of social networks’ usage to achieve policy objectives (the promotion of political projects, work with target audiences) through the activation of dissent. It was determined that the use of social networks for political mobilization of society allows you to do it quickly enough, given existing precedents in other countries, factors and opportunities, ways to influence audience’s opinion in the organization and carrying out protest campaigns, aligned at the main protest target audience of social networks – the young and the middle class.

This study introduces a new model namely O-P-A (Optical, Physical and Acoustic) model to enhance active learning. The newly proposed model contributes to extend the current literature of the V-K-A model (Visual, Kinaesthetic and Auditory) for active learning. Three activities are implemented at three stages of the research, with each one involves in different approaches and methods to active learning. The impact of the newly proposed O-P-A model in overcoming passive learners in the Media and Society course is also investigated. Preliminary survey were carried out prior to implementation of approach to get a feel of the existing class delivery problem and post implementation survey is carried out to obtained feedback on the implementation of the new approaches Positive findings about the interactive classrooms are often confounded with active learning pedagogy. Our findings confirm that the interactive and active learning approaches create a positive learning environment which induces great outcomes.

Nowadays, everyone can witness the importance of the internet and the role it plays as a means of communication. Tweeter is one of the best social networking websites now. This type of social media, people create an online profile through enlisting personal facts and interests, connect with other users, and sharing updates of information that is posted daily (Hargittai and Hsieh, 2011: 47). Besides the positive sides that such media have, there are some negative issues that these media may reflect. Bulling is one of these negatives. Pragmatically, this paper concerns itself with studying cyberbullying in Trump’s tweeters. Consequently, the data will be analyzed according to some pragmatic theories like politeness, implicature, and pragmatic metaphor. The questions that the paper tries to answer are: (1) Does Trump use a direct bully or indirect one? (2) What are the polite strategies that Trump tries to use in order to minimize the effect of bullying? (3) Are there any implied meanings in Trump’s tweeters that he wants to convey? To answer these questions, the following aims are put: (1) showing whether Trump uses an explicit bullying or an implicit one, (2) clarifying the polite strategies that Trump may use in his tweeters, (3) shedding light on the implied meanings in Trump’s tweeters. Working on these aims, the following hypotheses are suggested: (1) Trump uses explicit and implicit bullying in his tweeters, (2) there are certain strategies that Trump follows in his bullying, and (3) there are some implied meanings (implicature) that Trump is behind.

Resulting from the Industrial Revolution 4.0, English is evolving into a global language and is detected from multi-aspects consisting of technological, scientific, and business aspects, and completely, English language learning quality must be enhanced. Thus, this paper focuses on constructing a conceptual framework in which competition is presenting as a moderator on the influence on the English language learning quality of students in the context of higher education in Vietnam. To achieve this objective, the paper employs a qualitative approach through tools of the meta-analysis, systematic review, from 86 publications as research papers, theses/ dissertations, books, and other relevant publications in the focused subject from prominent and reliable databases, including Google Scholar, Research Gate, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, Cengage and Springer, etc. and direct observation with 55 English language classes, 5 interviews are conducted by using a semistructured questionnaire with 135 students and 55 lecturers and 5 educational/ English teaching experts. The paper hopes to contribute to English learning quality enhancement and extends its contribution to the educational quality in higher education.
