Higher education centers, as the most important part of the educational institution in any country, should be able to handle the function of cultural and social rearrangement. In other hand, university students and graduates should be able to try to identify society and innovate in it, and in fact, the university should be able to internalize the values, attitudes, and norms needed by society and subsequent generations in students and train them as creative, innovative, forward-looking people with a broad and at the same time committed and sensitive to the interests, cultural heritage, social and religious interests of the country. In order to achieve this purpose, conducting field studies and researches for understanding cultural and social issues has an important role, this research tries to review the experience of developing a strategic document of university responsibility of one of the major universities to show what issues it is necessary to develop a specific strategy for the development of social responsibility in the universities of the IRAN. This research also describes the experience of how to use balanced scorecard method, shows how this method can be used to formulate strategies in the field of social responsibility of universities and what advantages this method has in comparison with other methods of developing cultural and social strategies.

This study is intended to examine the concept of transcultural identity in the travel book The Global Soul: Jet Lag, Shopping Malls, and the Search for Home by (Iyer, 2001). Jeffries’ model of critical stylistics (2010) (henceforth, CS) has been selected to analyze the book. To be more specific, Negation is selected to analyze the concept under study. As such, the study aims at finding out how Negation is used to portray ideological meanings representing the concept of transcultural identity in one non-fictional travel book; and finding out the ideologies related to the concept analyzed. The analysis of the data shows that Negation is a suitable analytical tool to reach the ideational meaning of the text towards the concept of transcultural identity. It is also a powerful tool that provides a means for a coherent and rigorous discussion for the analysis of identity. Besides, the concept of transcultural identity, as the analysis shows, is used to reveal the ideologies of homelessness, identity globalization, spiritual connectedness, imagined homes, etc. The importance of the study stems from being an attempt to investigate transcultural identity using a critical stylistic approach which constitutes a gap in the literature since such a study of transcultural identity is very rare or even nonexistent.

Conversation analysis is an approach which deals with verbal and non-verbal aspects of language in a situation of everyday life. Dialogues in Ola Rotimi’s The gods are not to blame are classified as naturally occurring conversations because they involve two or more interlocutors (characters) who employ turns to deliberate on issues that are related to the roles the gods play in the lives of human beings. So, as pertinent as conversation analysis is in dealing with matters bothering human beings, no enough research has been carried out on it. Therefore, this paper seeks to undertake study on turn-taking mechanism in the above named text so as to see how it is being used by the characters in it. The paper adopts sacks et al, (1974) conversational model as its theoretical framework. The text is analysed and the results show that aspects of turn-taking mechanism such as starting up, taking over, interruption, filled pauses or verbal fillers, silent fillers ellipses, questions, declarative sentences and silence run through the text. Lexical items such as “oh”, “well”, “no” are also used in the text to take turns. Turns are allocated on the bases of current speaker select next speaker, current speaker self-select and current speaker continuous. The study also found that the use of turn-taking mechanism in the text makes the conversations run smoothly. The study concludes that conversation analysis is an excellent tool for studying naturally occurring conversations. Glob Acad J Linguist Lit; 2022, 4(3): - DOI :

Birds constitute a part of nature, and love for nature is one of the perpetual features and themes of the Romantic poetry. This article, which aims at exploring birds how English Romantic poets glorify them in their poetry, comprises five poems of four celebrated English Romantic poets, namely Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley and Keats. This article concludes that the Romantic poets glorify birds as a blithe spirit, a light-winged fairy, an ethereal minstrel, a blithe new-comer, a wandering voice, a darling of the spring, Christian soul and so on.

English is an affluent language as it retains the flexibility of forms and the multiplicity of messages conveyed through such forms. Phrases and sentences which are the two forms of linguistic structures can serve a number of grammatical and communicative functions. A grammatical function of language refers to the role of phrasal forms in a sentence as a subject, a predicator, a complement and an adjunct. A communicative function denotes the purpose of using the forms as the sentences. The purposes may be to advise, request, order, invite, greet, warn, thank and so on. A key purpose of this article is to expose form- function relations in English. The article writer mustered some phrases and sentences as the nominal data from the books on communication in English. Phrases and sentences which are considered forms in the study are analyzed from the perspectives of their grammatical and communicative functions respectively. This article winds up with a striking remark that a phrasal form can serve a number of grammatical functions and a sentence form can serve numerous communicative functions and vice versa. Furthermore, there is not always one to one correspondence between a linguistic form and its grammatical or communicative function.

Motivating the students to speak is generally considered to be more difficult than motivating them in practicing other skills. Another great challenge for the teacher is keeping up a good level of motivation with an exceptionally large class. In the English language courses at the University of Dhaka, the teachers are confronted with a number to obstacles that puts extra burden on them and hampers their motivation in the same way as it decreases the motivation of their students. This study tries to portray the classroom situation and analyse the underlying problems that are responsible for reducing the motivation of speaking in English for both the students and the teachers. It aims to identify these variables in order to find out a way of minimizing the hindrances and enhance successful practising of English speaking skill.
