Abstract The following paper aims at analysing co-constructing devices used in adult-child narrative interaction both in the first and in the second language. In order to build a “common ground” for communication and comprehension, adult speakers often need to rely on supporting strategies that provide the child with narrative, grammatical and lexical help. When investigating speakers in multilingual settings, these devices become even more crucial. The present study is based on a corpus which contains data from six multilingual children at preschool age from the Ladin valleys in South Tyrol. The analysis outlines both the adults’ devices used to support the child as well as the children’s self-adopted strategies to enable the interaction to be performed. As far as the adult part is concerned, the focus is put on initiating, replying and expanding devices. Children’s devices, instead, are mainly influenced by the multilingual setting they are involved in. In this sense code-mixing and code-switching phenomena emerge as main strategies.

目的:本文的目的是区分阅读巴尔扎克风格的小说和阅读“新小说”。在“新小说”的标签下，脾气迥异的作家被一个单一的理想所吸引，即寻找新的被认为过时的写作技巧。方法:除了叙事学家推荐的经典叙事技巧外，我们还发现Florence Trystram使用了其他文学技巧。这包括文学体裁和某些修辞手法的混合。关于文学类型，索尼Labou Tansi指出:“文学类型没有性别。我甚至想知道我的小说是不是小说。最重要的信息是人。他是被迫的接受者。(索尼Labou Tansi, the ancient people)。弗洛伦斯·特里斯特拉姆(Florence Trystram)接受了这一点，在她的故事创作中可以看到不同文学流派的融合。结果:我们在这本小说中发现了一个主题的总结。首先,压迫。然后是主题的逻辑顺序。最后，它们以一种乐观的语气结束:我们从导致贫穷的压迫开始，到对人类尊严的反叛和乐观。因此，我们可以推断，英雄要求我们抑制哭泣。至于从这个小说世界中产生的主题，我们有一种印象，大多数非洲作家仍然痴迷于同样的主题，这些主题在整个非洲历时都经历过。贡献:我们发现《无名的孩子》与巴尔扎克小说的叙事有很大的不同。最后，我们钦佩弗洛伦斯·特里斯特拉姆(Florence Trystram)巧妙地塑造了这个浪漫的宇宙。

Purpose: In a society where many believe that only the mailed fist can maintain discipline, a refreshingly different point of view is reached by the comparison of two of Chinua Achebe’s novels: Things Fall Apart and Arrow of God. The purpose of this paper is to explore the viewpoint presented in these novels by comparing their two heroes – Okonkwo and Ezeulu. They are compared first as revolutionary characters and second as revolutionary leaders, using as a guide Calvert’s (1996) claims that individual leaders are not necessarily revolutionary leaders. Okonkwo and Ezeulu are seen to be both leaders and revolutionaries; they fail however, as revolutionary leaders for the simple but unarguable reason that they have no supporters. Methodology: Methodological procedures are adopted which include description of the study’s sampling and method of data analysis. The study adopts a simple survey design. Findings: The paper in its findings discovers that individualism cannot thrive in a revolution of a society rather it is collective effort that appears to be more effective in a revolutionary struggle such as fou nd in Umuofia and Umuaro respectively. The paper concludes that followership marks an authentic revolutionary leader as the non-support of Okonkwo and Ezeulu in the novels leads to their tragic end. Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: The paper recommends communalism as a way out of African socio-political barriers and posits that individuality cannot bring the social change and total liberation in African continent.

Abstract The present paper examines teenagers’ production and perception of spelling error corrections (e.g., *zij for zei) in online messaging. It discusses both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of spelling corrections in a large corpus of private online conversations between Flemish adolescents and the results of an online survey with a similar target group. Our study reveals that teenagers hardly correct their own spelling errors and those of their peers in informal social media writing. Several factors play a role in whether or not they rectify an error, such as the type of error and their socio-demographic profile. In general, adolescents tend to have a negative attitude towards correcting other people’s spelling mistakes. Consequently, teenagers often perform this face-threatening act (FTA) to tease or irritate their interlocutor or by way of payback for another FTA. Strikingly, even in non-conflictual contexts, errors are generally pointed out quite bluntly, though in some cases, both the error-maker and the interlocutor engage in damage control when the error has been acknowledged by the former. By conducting this research, we can achieve a better understanding of the sociopragmatic mechanisms underlying error perception and error handling in a social media context that generally embraces nonstandard writing.

Purpose: This paper seeks to examine the presentation of the images of women in Nigerian drama. Many female playwrights in Nigeria believe that women are misrepresented in plays written by men. Their claim is that the images of women as presented in the literary works of most male playwright are not true reflection of women in real life. In the early Nigerian drama, mostly written by men, women were usually portrayed as weak, inferior, and unimportant personalities. The women are generally quiet and subdued and their primary functions revolve around the family. Even in contemporary times, most plays written by men present women only in relation to male protagonists rather than as individual. Our focus in this work however, is on selected works of two distinguished Nigerian female playwrights namely Irene Isoken Agunloye and Tracie Utoh-Ezeajugh. Methodology: This paper adopts a textual analytical method in the sense that data for analysis are sourced from the two selected texts for this study. The texts are Sweet Revenge by Irene Isoken Agunloye and Nneora: An African Doll House by Tracie ChimaUtoh-Ezeajugh. Findings: Textual analysis of the plays has revealed that, as a result of the negative portrayal of women in male authored plays, female writers have taken up the challenge of re-writing their story, by creating a new narrative in which women are presented in a very positive way. Unique Contributions to Theory, Practice and Policy: This work is premised on the womanist theory which seeks to improve the image of women and engender the principles of justice, equity and fair play in Nigeria.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to provide an answer to the following question: how does role-playing game improve francophone learners’ communicative competence in English? According to Bruner’s scaffolding theory, learners benefit more when tutors accompany them in carrying out a task, and then withdraw as soon as they are in position to carry it alone. Methodology: The sample has been chosen randomly: 63 learners in year 1 in Technical high school, Charles Atangana in Cameroon took part in the study and they were divided at random as follows: 32 for the experimental group and 31 for the control group. The collected data has been analyzed with the students’ T test, a statistical instrument. Results: From the difference from the mean: The research hypothesis which stipulates that role playing game fosters francophone learners’ communicative competence is confirmed with a value of 1.83, a confidence interval of 95% and a P<0.00 which is significant. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Therefore, Role-playing games has contributed to boost the less confident learners to freely express themselves in English language thus, improving communicative competence in English. Keywords: Role-playing games, Improvement, Communicative Competence. Résumé But: Notre objectif est de répondre à la question suivante : quelle est l’impact du jeu de rôle sur les compétences communicatives en anglais des apprenants francophones ? pour ce faire, nous formulons l’hypothèse suivante : le jeu de rôle améliore les compétences communicatives en anglais des apprenants du sous-système francophone. Selon la théorie de l'échafaudage de Bruner, les apprenants bénéficient davantage lorsque les tuteurs les accompagnent dans la réalisation d'une tâche, puis se retirent dès qu'ils sont en mesure de la réaliser seuls. Méthodologie: L'échantillon a été choisi au hasard : 63 apprenants en 1ère année du Lycée technique, Charles Atangana au Cameroun ont participé à l'étude et ils ont été répartis au hasard comme suit : 32 pour le groupe expérimental et 31 pour le groupe témoin. Les données recueillies ont été analysées avec le test T des élèves, un instrument statistique. Résultats: L’hypothèse selon laquelle le jeu de rôle améliore les compétences communicatives en anglais des apprenants du sous-système francophone est confirmée, car la différence entre les deux moyennes est de 1.83, avec un degré de confiance de 95% et un P<0.00, ce qui est significatif. Contribution unique à la théorie, aux politiques et à la pratique: Ainsi, le jeu de rôle a permis aux apprenants peu confiants au départ de pouvoir s’exprimer librement en anglais.

Abstract The increase in the number of newcomer students in countries across the world has underscored the importance of effective transition strategies in education. Many students encounter difficulties in acquiring academic knowledge due to initial limited language skills in the school language. Implementing appropriate strategies to facilitate this transition has shown positive outcomes. However, some obstacles remain to be addressed for newcomer students. In the Netherlands, standardized tests are utilised to monitor the academic progress of all students and determine the appropriate educational pathway. Our study, based on longitudinal assessment data from 51 newcomer elementary school students and 74 of their classmates, sheds light on how this system interacts with the transitions of newcomers. While newcomer students made greater progress compared to their peers, we found that their results were influenced by the application of test norms designed for younger age groups. The insights from this study provide valuable perspectives on educational pathways for newcomer students and prompt us to reconsider the implications of norm accommodation for these students. It highlights the needs to implement practices that enable newcomer students to effectively pursue their academic aspirations.

Purpose: The prime motive of this research is to investigate the affectivity of computer/technology-based learning that advances the future of digital world. Methodology: This research investigated the effects of CALL as a developmental tool for English language learners; the standard learning of CALL has been examined through the criteria of the mixed method. The data was gathered from survey closed-ended questionnaire by following the primary basis of data which is further analyzed through SPSS. Thus, 106 responses were gathered through questionnaire where it has estimated that 85% undergraduate students agreed CALL helps them to improve their L2 proficiency. In addition, the data is also collected through open-ended interviews from the English language instructor which analyzed through the content analysis that resulted in their positive responses of encouraging CALL based classes for learning English as L2. Findings: The gathered data depicted the 80% positive reliance over CALL based learning. However, the study accomplished the advent of CALL with effective proficiency. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: This research has also investigated the belief of students and teachers regarding the advance advent of CALL-in terms of language learning. Likely, the contribution of this study integrates the advancement in terms of language learning; that could bring the world closer to the technology. Institutes should promote the CALL based learning in order strengthen the learner’s language competence. Teacher should be fully aware of CALL based teaching which helps to brings effectively in instructing the learners.
