The perception of "literacy" has traditionally been linked to the ability to read and write. However, with the advancement of technology, the scope of literacy has expanded to encompass various other skills and abilities. One significant aspect is digital literacy, which goes beyond computer proficiency and comprises a range of skills essential for effective teaching and learning. Digital literacy plays a crucial role in making information more accessible and respecting the preferences of young learners. In today's increasingly digital world, students and teachers must master digital competence to succeed. Therefore, it becomes imperative to incorporate digital literacy into the curriculum, as it not only contributes to lifelong learning but also serves as a vital competency for future employment. This article presents a literature review on the positive impact of digital literacy and its associated learning outcomes in higher education. It seeks to address the following questions: How does digital literacy, as a powerful technological tool, enhance the teaching-learning process in higher education? Also, what challenges may hinder the successful implementation of various digital-related skills? Through exploring these aspects, this study aims to shed light on the significance of digital literacy in higher education and its potential implications for both educators and learners.

This article undertakes an examination of the contentious issue surrounding the translation of "fundamentalism" to "Usulia," with a specific focus on the divergent perceptions of this concept among both Muslims and non-Muslims. Through historical exploration and conceptual analysis, the study aims to illuminate the various perspectives regarding the usage of "Fundamentalism/Usulia" within an Islamic context. Drawing from an analysis of pertinent literature and scholarly discourse, it becomes apparent that despite attempts to incorporate fundamentalist ideologies into the “Usulia” framework, most Islamists vehemently reject this translation, perceiving it as perpetuating a negative Western stereotype. The article delves into the theological, social, and political factors that underpin these differing stances, along with their implications for Islamic movements. By providing insights into this ongoing debate, the research contributes to a deeper comprehension of the internal diversity within Islamic thought and the intricate relationship between fundamentalism as a Western concept and “Usulia” in contemporary Islamic discourse.

The primary objective of the present study is to examine the structure of Grice's Maxims within the particular cultural setting of Morocco. The aim of this investigation is to scrutinize the impact of societal expectations and linguistic strategies on the production of conversational implicatures in the Moroccan cultural context. The present investigation employs Optimality Theory as a theoretical framework to examine a range of factors, such as power dynamics, social distance, politeness, sarcasm, and specific linguistic characteristics within the social and cultural context of Moroccan Arabic. This study argues that an understanding of the appropriate use of conversational implicatures enhances the cross-cultural competence of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Moroccan Learners. The findings reveal the complexity of various constraints that shape the process of Moroccan conversational decision-making, unveiling noteworthy differences in comparison to the norms common to Western culture. The employment of the participant observation technique enabled a thorough investigation that was authentic and culturally sensitive, thereby enriching the understanding of conversational implicatures in a diverse global setting.

This study aims to describe women's struggle against marginalization in the novel Tempurung by Oka Rusmini with a feminist literary criticism approach. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data sources for the novel Tempurung by Oka Rusmini published in 2018 by PT. Grasindo. The data collection technique used is a human instrument in the form of reading and recording techniques. The results of this study show that in fighting marginalization (1) women make efforts to work hard to improve economic conditions; (2) women make efforts to become intellectuals; (3) women’s efforts to show their existence; and (4) women's efforts to fight Balinese customary law. The resistance carried out by Saring, Sipleg, Jinah, Putu, and Pidagda as Balinese women who experience patriarchal shackles is a representation of the struggle against the marginalization of women.

Learning English as a foreign language (EFL) has great relevance for many people around the world due to globalization, technology, personal or professional goals and preferences. Likewise, English has been documented as one of the languages that has more non-native speakers than native speakers around the world (Shin, 2013). Code-switching is considered a linguistic variation and it has become a widely researched circumstance that is commonly reflected by bilingual, multilingual, and multicultural practices. This research has the objective to give an account of how English as a foreign language learner use code-switching as a learning strategy to achieve academic goals. A qualitative methodology and a descriptive approach were used to analyze data and to infer the following linguistic practices: a) code-switching use by emergent bilinguals as a learning strategy to acquire a foreign language and b) code-switching use affects emergent bilinguals´ language development. The research´s findings can be summarized stating that code-switching practices help students develop foreign language awareness by analyzing linguistic elements to express meaningful ideas taking it into practice. Concluding from extensive research, code-switching can be a helpful learning strategy for foreign language learners to achieve English within a communicative process allowing learners to be able to express and communicate a message proficiently.

Critical thinking (CT) is interconnected with argumentation, so argumentative writing serves as a crucial medium for demonstrating CT. The present study aimed to examine second language (L2) writers’ CT performance in argumentative writing and to explore how high-achieving L2 students differ from their low-achieving counterparts in terms of CT performance. In this study, a sample of 33 higher-level and 32 lower-level L2 students from a Chinese university wrote an L2 argumentative essay on computers within 40 minutes. The CT performance in four major parts of each essay, i.e., position(s), explanations, evidence, and conclusion, was assessed according to four CT criteria: Unambiguity, Fair-mindedness, Substance, and Consistency. Findings suggest that (1) the performance of evidence and Substance was not satisfactory, (2) no significant differences were reflected in the performance of overall L2 CT, Unambiguity, Substance, and Consistency between the participants of varied L2 levels, and (3) the higher-level L2 students significantly outperformed their lower-level counterparts in terms of conclusion and Fair-mindedness. Important implications of these findings are discussed.

The present study explored the alignment effect of the sight translation continuation task (STCT) and its possible influence on sight translation (ST) fluency. Thirty-four third-year English Education majors at a Chinese university were divided into two groups in the study. The experimental group who conducted the STCT read the English source text of a speech and its translation in Chinese, while the control group only read the English source text. Afterwards, both groups sight translated the continued source text into Chinese. The results indicated that (a) the experimental group aligned with the pre-reading text at the lexical level and (b) the continuation task improved ST fluency to some extent as the experimental group produced significantly fewer self-repairs in their ST products. The study concludes by suggesting that the continuation task can be useful in ST instruction and, hence, should be more visible in the interpreting classroom.

The phenomenon of urban violence among young people in need of direction, nostalgic, affected by lack of employment, is a major concern of filmmakers who display it in their works. A precise target which allows us to treat and problematize this phenomenon in African cities (which have become dangerous) on four supports including: Twist in Bamako by Robert Guédiguian, Bakmatoire by Grâce Tengo, Le Mandat by O.Sembene, and Samba Traoré by Idrissa Ouédraogo. As they show, because of stillborn independence, failed dictatorships or democracies and endemic unemployment, the development of safe cities advocating living together has proven to be utopian. This led to an escalation of violence. In the African city now managed by the natives in the aftermath of independence in Twist, this violence takes several forms: exclusion from the political party, arrest and incarceration of the strikers, rejection of the paternalistic figure of the colonist and identification with the figure of the double identity by the Twist dance. Rival gangs organize themselves into armed bands in Bakmatoire to pillage, rape, assault and racketeer from populations. The street becomes the place of exposure to all dangers. And scenes of fraud and corruption are legion in Dakar in Le Mandat , thus depriving the illiterate of receiving his money. When the thieves organized themselves and robbed a gas station in the city of Ouagadougou, they were shot as they fled by the military. One hit, dies and the other, on the run, takes the loot. A whole isotopia of urban violence is readable in the works. These film texts therefore show the excesses of a sick society and the metaphor of permanent danger. Cinematographic language is tainted with every possible disaster. It is the place par excellence of mimesis and catharsis. Which allows the viewer to identify, wonder and question themselves.
需要指导、怀旧、受失业影响的年轻人中出现的城市暴力现象是电影人在其作品中表现出来的一个主要问题。一个精确的目标，使我们能够在四个支柱上处理和解决非洲城市(已经变得危险)的这种现象，包括:Robert gusamadigian的《Twist in Bamako》，grance Tengo的《Bakmatoire》，o.s sembene的《Le Mandat》和Idrissa ousamadogo的《Samba traor》。正如他们所表明的那样，由于胎死腹中的独立、失败的独裁或民主以及普遍的失业，发展倡导共同生活的安全城市已被证明是乌托邦。这导致暴力升级。在特斯特独立后，现在由当地人管理的非洲城市，这种暴力有几种形式:被排除在政党之外，逮捕和监禁罢工者，拒绝殖民者的家长式形象，并通过特斯特舞蹈认同双重身份的形象。敌对帮派在巴克马托瓦尔组织成武装团伙，抢劫、强奸、袭击和敲诈民众。街道成了暴露于各种危险的地方。在勒曼达的达喀尔，欺诈和腐败的场景比比皆是，从而剥夺了文盲接受他的钱的权利。当窃贼组织起来抢劫瓦加杜古市的一个加油站时，他们在逃跑时被军方击毙。一个被击中，死了，另一个逃跑，带走了战利品。在作品中可以读到城市暴力的完整同位素。因此，这些电影文本展示了一个病态社会的过度行为和永久危险的隐喻。电影语言被各种可能的灾难所污染。这是最适合模仿和宣泄的地方。这让观众能够识别、怀疑和质疑自己。

Critical discourse analysis, as a discourse analysis method, is of great significance in revealing the relationship between power, ideology, and discourse hidden behind the language. As an essential way of disseminating information, news is always accepted by people without any bias, but the ideology contained in it is often overlooked by readers. Therefore, based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional analysis model, this paper makes a critical analysis of six news reports on TikTok by CNN for the sake of exploring the ideology and political position hidden behind the text. The results show that the selected reports basically follow the principles of objectivity and truthfulness, but the truthfulness is limited and inevitably influenced by national ideology, with doubts and negative evaluations hidden between the lines.

This paper examines grammaticality and acceptability in the Ulrhobo language. Grammaticality has to do with well formedness of syntactic structures; grammaticality is usually considered as the structure of sentences and the order in which they are combined together to form sentences. A sentence can conform to the syntactic rule if it is constructed in a grammatical form. The study adopts the truth conditioning theory of meaning as a theoretical framework. The truth conditioning theory of meaning deals with the grammaticality and acceptability of sentence structures. The study reviews that the basic grammar of the Urhobo language conforms to the standard paradigm of a language structure such as Qualifier + Noun + verb + modifier + Adjective, etc and that when these sentences are not properly ordered according to the grammatical rules of the Urhobo language, they are systematically deformed (by inversion, suppression or addition of non-terminal elements in its production rules) to produce a series of grammars generating grammatical, semantically acceptable, semi-grammatical or ungrammatical sentences. It also reviewed that the sentence structures of the Urhobo language conform with the constraints of a sentence structure rule and are, therefore, rule, accepted, while others that don’t are, therefore, rule unaccepted. The study further reveals that a sentence must have a string of words that conform to the rule of syntax, such as subject and predicate, which form the basis of grammaticality or acceptability of the sentence. Finally, the study reveals that grammaticality and acceptability can occur in both written and spoken language. It is also a finding that acceptability is more basic rather than grammaticality since all hearers of the Urhobo language can understand or interpret what the speakers convey in a given structure of the language.

Grammaticality has to do with well formedness of syntactic structures; grammaticality is usually considered as the structure of sentences and the order in which they are combined together to form sentences. A sentence can conform to the syntactic rule if it is constructed in a grammatical form. The study adopts the truth conditioning theory of meaning as a theoretical framework. The truth conditioning theory of meaning deals with the grammaticality and acceptability of sentence structures. The study reviews that the basic grammar of the Urhobo language conforms to the standard paradigm of a language structure such as Qualifier + Noun + verb + modifier + Adjective, etc and that when these sentences are not properly ordered according to the grammatical rules of the Urhobo language, they are systematically deformed (by inversion, suppression or addition of non-terminal elements in its production rules) to produce a series of grammars generating grammatical, semantically acceptable, semi-grammatical or ungrammatical sentences. It also reviewed that the sentence structures of the Urhobo language conform with the constraints of a sentence structure rule and are, therefore, rule, accepted, while others that don’t are, therefore, rule unaccepted. The study further reveals that a sentence must have a string of words that conform to the rule of syntax, such as subject and predicate, which form the basis of grammaticality or acceptability of the sentence. Finally, the study reveals that grammaticality and acceptability can occur in both written and spoken language. It is also a finding that acceptability is more basic rather than grammaticality since all hearers of the Urhobo language can understand or interpret what the speakers convey in a given structure of the language.","PeriodicalId":492462,"journal":{"name":"International journal of linguistics, literature and translation","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135253604","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}
