Language is a social phenomenon. It helps us to interact with the world around us. The prevailing content explores and emphasizes the idea of language as a significantly active agent which indoctrinates learners and excludes people from minorities through English Language textbook of Class 9 published by Sindh Textbook Board of Sindh, Pakistan. The study used Fair Clough’s model of CDA 1995 (Critical Discourse Analysis) as a tool to reveal the hidden ideologies behind the language used in the textbook. English, in Pakistan, is used as a language-learning subject in the context of L2. However, the language used in textbooks imposes certain ideological connotations in not only an implicit but also explicit manner. Rahman (2002).The language textbooks indoctrinate learners by propagating hidden agendas such as excessive promotion of Islamization and glorification of war and war heroes to name just a few. The study recommends language textbooks to focus on developing language skills and enlarging the lingual capabilities of the learners instead of selling indoctrination and constricting the critical abilities of the learners. In order to meet the needs of a modern world, balance curriculum contents should be designed for the learners. It is highly suggested to the designers and policy makers, to focus on language learning items and content, instead of content-oriented textbooks. The research will be beneficial in the domain of education and for fellow researchers as they would be able to discern in clear terms why indoctrination should be discouraged in the process of education; language should only be taught without distortion.
语言是社会现象。它帮助我们与周围的世界互动。主要内容是通过巴基斯坦信德省教科书委员会出版的第9班英语教材,探索和强调语言是一个非常积极的因素,它向学习者灌输并排斥少数民族。本研究以Fair Clough的批评性话语分析(Critical Discourse Analysis, CDA)模型为工具,揭示了教科书语言背后隐藏的意识形态。在巴基斯坦,英语被用作第二语言语境中的语言学习科目。然而,教科书中使用的语言既有含蓄的,也有明显的思想内涵。拉赫曼(2002)。语言教科书通过宣传诸如过度宣传伊斯兰化、美化战争和战争英雄等隐藏的议程来向学习者灌输思想。该研究建议语言教科书应注重发展语言技能和扩大学习者的语言能力,而不是出售灌输和限制学习者的批判能力。为了适应现代世界的需要,应该为学习者设计平衡的课程内容。强烈建议设计者和决策者关注语言学习的项目和内容,而不是内容导向的教科书。这项研究将有利于教育领域和其他研究人员,因为他们将能够清楚地认识到为什么在教育过程中不应该鼓励灌输;语言只应该不加歪曲地教授。

Pub Date : 2019-04-23 DOI: 10.5296/ELR.V5I1.14705
S. Bouzar
Speaking as a skill constitutes a real hurdle to overcome by both the teacher and the learner. In other words, the teacher has to find appropriate procedures to help the learner with while the latter has to find a way to master the language. Thus, this article attempts to highlight the concept of speaking; likewise, it tries to deal with the issues relevant to the appropriate teaching of speaking to learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) such as consciousness-raising strategies and oral error correction.
口语作为一种技能,对老师和学习者来说都是一个真正需要克服的障碍。换句话说,教师必须找到适当的程序来帮助学习者,而学习者必须找到一种方法来掌握语言。因此,本文试图突出说话的概念;同样,它试图处理与适当的英语教学有关的问题,如提高意识策略和口语错误纠正。

This study aims at investigating Saudi university English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching assistants’ linguistic, pedagogic and technological needs. The sample of the study involves (52) female and (32) male teaching assistants all working in the department of English language and literature at Imam Mohammad ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU) in the second semester of the academic year 2016-2017. The study employed a questionnaire to answer the research questions. The results demonstrated that Saudi teaching assistants are in dire need to improve their competences. Based on their responses, technological competence ranks as the most needed skill which indicates that they were willing to implement Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) in their classroom. The study also showed that linguistic competence was the second most needed competence while the pedagogic competence is the third most needed skill to be mastered. Saudi teaching assistants need systematic assessment of the linguistic, pedagogic and technological competences as the core criteria for success in the teaching process.

This study is aimed to describe how God is conceptualized through metaphors in The Book of Psalms by adopting the theory of conceptual metaphor (Lakkof & Johnson, 1980). After identifying all metaphorical verses of the Psalms, they can be classified into four main metaphors functioning to portray the image of God: (1) GOD IS REFUGE, (2) GOD IS SHEPHERD, (3) GOD IS SAVIOR and (4) GOD IS KING. Mapping and Blending methods are applied to reveal the meaning of those metaphors, provided with cultural and socio-historical context existing in the source domain.Findings from this study are (1) metaphors in the Psalms have function as religious language to express spiritual experience in relation with transcendent or divine reality. (2) Through metaphors God as target domain is conceptualized by means of real things as source domain.
本研究旨在运用概念隐喻理论(Lakkof & Johnson, 1980)来描述《诗篇》中上帝是如何通过隐喻被概念化的。在确定了诗篇的所有比喻经文之后,它们可以分为四个主要的比喻,用来描绘神的形象:(1)神是避难所,(2)神是牧羊人,(3)神是救主,(4)神是王。运用映射和混合的方法来揭示这些隐喻的意义,并提供存在于源域的文化和社会历史背景。本研究发现:(1)诗篇中的隐喻具有宗教语言的功能,用来表达与超验或神圣现实有关的精神体验。(2)通过隐喻将上帝作为目的域,以现实事物作为源域进行概念化。

The use of computer technology has become compulsory in education particularly in foreign language teaching and learning. It is known as Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Language teachers and learners usually take more interest to utilize technology like mobile phone, computer, and internet in their teaching and learning. CALL has unlocked innovative dimensions in learning. Further, CALL offers advanced learning and teaching methods such as Audio–Video, Cognitive and Communicative approaches. Learning with help of CALL improves students’ cognitive and communicative abilities more as compare to traditional methods of teaching and learning. Cognitive learning makes learner responsible for his own learning and communicative approach improves learner communication skills in the language. It is necessary to consider major aspects of CALL. This paper discusses detail information about Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). The overview focus is especially on the development of CALL, Challenges and Future Impact on language teaching and learning.
计算机技术的使用已经成为教育的必修课,特别是在外语教学中。它被称为计算机辅助语言学习(CALL)。语言教师和学习者通常更有兴趣利用手机、电脑和互联网等技术在他们的教学和学习中。CALL开启了学习的创新维度。此外,CALL提供先进的学习和教学方法,如视听,认知和交际方法。与传统的教学方法相比,在CALL的帮助下学习更能提高学生的认知能力和交际能力。认知学习使学习者对自己的学习负责,交际法提高了学习者的语言交际能力。有必要考虑CALL的主要方面。本文讨论了计算机辅助语言学习(CALL)的详细信息。重点概述了CALL的发展、挑战和未来对语言教学的影响。

Decisions around Language Policy and Planning are made around the world, every day, both formally by governments and informally by academics, community leaders, subjects etc. With regard to the underlying concept of what would be Language Policy, this objective essay goes into some points, such as: what are its bases and its assumptions; (1989), Johnson (2013), Ricento (2006), Lagares (2018), among others, seeking to propose a brief theoretical-methodological outline for a better understanding of the area that engenders the country in various instances of social life.
每天,世界各地都在制定有关语言政策和规划的决定,有正式的政府,也有非正式的学者、社区领袖、学科等。关于什么是语言政策的基本概念,这篇客观的文章探讨了一些观点,例如:它的基础和假设是什么;(1989), Johnson (2013), Ricento (2006), Lagares(2018)等,试图提出一个简短的理论方法大纲,以便更好地理解在社会生活的各种情况下产生国家的区域。

The present study aimed at finding out the valuing strategies used by EFL teachers to enhance student’s creativity in writing. The present study made use of a qualitative approach to obtain data from the Discovery School students in Amman, Jordan and to determine the answers to the research questions. This study was carried out in the one hundred branches of Discovery Schools (DSs) located in Amman, Jordan for the Academic year 2018/2019. Using a convenience sample, ten EFL teachers were chosen as a sampling for the current study. The present study conducted interviews with EFL teachers and observed them. The participants were selected from the first secondary cycle as the cycle holds significance. To check the trustworthiness and credibility of qualitative data, the researcher utilized two strategies, triangulation and member check. The interview data analysis showed that eight teachers believed that using the strategy was important. On a negative note, the results from the observation showed that only three teachers actually employed this strategy among their teaching techniques. Further research is recommended on the same topic in different settings.

Needs Analysis in EFL Teaching in Greece: The Teachers’ Stance 希腊英语教学中的需求分析:教师的立场
Pub Date : 2019-02-27 DOI: 10.5296/ELR.V5I1.14191

The present research aims at identifying the way teachers in the Greek private sector become aware of their students’ needs and how they implement this knowledge in course and syllabus design. More specifically, teachers’ beliefs on the role and effectiveness of needs analysis in course and syllabus design were explored through both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The reason for conducting a study of this kind and caliber is the fact that syllabuses are mainly test-oriented within the context of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) in private institutes in Greece, as obtaining certificates is the primary goal, and teachers are asked to align courses and syllabuses to their students’ needs. The findings revealed that teachers acknowledge the significance of needs analysis and implement their findings in course design. They also revealed the methods they use in order to become aware of their students’ needs. These results will benefit EFL teachers who want to maximize their potential and facilitate their students’ learning.
目前的研究旨在确定希腊私营部门的教师如何意识到学生的需求,以及他们如何在课程和教学大纲设计中实施这些知识。更具体地说,通过定性和定量的研究方法,探讨了教师对需求分析在课程和教学大纲设计中的作用和有效性的看法。进行这种研究的原因是,在希腊私立学院的英语作为外语教学(TEFL)的背景下,教学大纲主要以考试为导向,因为获得证书是主要目标,教师被要求使课程和教学大纲符合学生的需求。调查结果显示,教师承认需求分析的重要性,并在课程设计中实施他们的研究结果。他们还透露了他们为了了解学生的需求而使用的方法。这些结果将有利于那些想要最大限度地发挥他们的潜力并促进学生学习的英语教师。

Edward Said: Post-colonial Discourse and Its Impact on Literature 萨义德:后殖民话语及其对文学的影响
Pub Date : 2019-01-28 DOI: 10.5296/ELR.V5I1.14287
Naifa Al Mtairi
This paper highlights Edward Said’s ideology for discerning literary texts that followed the colonial period as a post-colonial discourse. Though some scholars disapprove that notion, Said holds the view that literature is a product of contested social and economic relationships. The West attempts to represent the East and consequently dominates it, not only for knowledge but for political power as well. He assures the worldliness of texts and their interferences with disciplines, cultures and history. Thus, the post-colonial critic should consider the post-colonial literature that might take the form of traditional European literature or the role of the migrant writer in portraying the experience of their countries. The pot-colonial theory with its focus on the misrepresentation of the colonized by the colonizer and the former’s attitude of resistance, draws new lines for literature and suggests a way of reading which resists imperialist ideologies.
本文强调了萨义德的意识形态对殖民时期之后的文学文本作为后殖民话语的辨别。尽管一些学者不同意这种观点,但赛义德认为,文学是有争议的社会和经济关系的产物。西方试图代表东方,因此不仅在知识上,而且在政治权力上也统治着东方。他保证了文本的世俗性以及它们对学科、文化和历史的干扰。因此,后殖民批评家应该考虑后殖民文学可能采取传统欧洲文学的形式或移民作家的角色来描绘他们国家的经历。后殖民理论关注的是殖民者对被殖民者的歪曲和被殖民者的反抗态度,为文学划清了新的界限,提出了一种反抗帝国主义意识形态的阅读方式。

The pot-colonial theory with its focus on the misrepresentation of the colonized by the colonizer and the former’s attitude of resistance, draws new lines for literature and suggests a way of reading which resists imperialist ideologies.","PeriodicalId":169592,"journal":{"name":"Education and Linguistics Research","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115654900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thomas Hardy is one of the most outstanding novelists who have made great contribution to the English literature. In his literature creations, he attached great importance to the relationship between man and nature, males and females. In his close observations, he not only sensed the close relationship between women and nature, but also integrated them together into a whole unity. He believed that women are the integral part of nature, and women are more sensitive to blending into the nature. In the male-dominated world, women have the same suffering fate with nature in human civilization, which tends to be isolated and lonely. Hardy advocates to rebuild the respect for women and nature, which is embodied in his feminism conciousness. This paper attempts to study Tess of the D’Urbervilles from the perspective of feminism, centered on the analysis of the affinity between Tess D’Urbervilles and nature. Tess D’Urbervilles is a suffering daughter of nature, she has an uncanny similariry with nature, and she is the womanized nature, therefore, Tess is naturalized in the whole novel.
托马斯·哈代是为英国文学做出巨大贡献的杰出小说家之一。在他的文学创作中,他非常重视人与自然、男女之间的关系。在他的近距离观察中,他不仅感受到了女性与自然的密切关系,而且还将两者融合为一个整体。他认为女性是自然不可分割的一部分,女性对融入自然更敏感。在男性主导的世界里,女性在人类文明中有着与自然同样的苦难命运,往往被孤立和孤独。哈代主张重建对女性和自然的尊重,这体现在他的女性主义意识上。本文试图从女性主义的视角来研究《德贝维尔家的苔丝》,重点分析《德贝维尔家的苔丝》与自然的亲缘关系。苔丝·德贝维尔是一个受苦受难的自然之女,她与自然有着不可思议的相似之处,她是女性化的自然,因此,苔丝在整部小说中都是自然化的。
