Reading is part of the productive skill in learning English and it is important like other skills which learners have to master all skill. That skill has many issues for the learners especially to the English Foreign Language (EFL) learners because reading is not easy to learn. The purpose of this mini-research is to investigate various reading difficulties are faced by the students in science classrooms and to find out what strategies they use to overcome reading difficulties. A questionnaire and essay were distributed and for collecting data, a survey questionnaire and an essay were done on thirty students from different departments in the Faculty of Science. The results obtained from the survey questionnaire and essay answer the research questions. The findings show that students face problem-related in reading comprehension. These problems are related to the poor habit of reading and lack of interest in reading by using bilingual books in the classroom. So, the students need more interactive learning activities in the class as their strategies to solve their problems in facing reading difficulties.

The study explored the identification of problematic behaviors of learners in the classroom by teachers in Midrand in the Gauteng province of South Africa. This study was informed by Bandura’s Social Cognitive theory. The multiple case study design was chosen for this study. The participants comprised fifteen teachers (15) who teach grade four in the three public primary schools in Midrand. This study employed semi-structured interviews for data collection. Thematic analysis was adopted to analyze the qualitative data. The results of the study indicated that teachers identified the problem behaviors by observing learners in and out of class, observing disruptive behaviors, observing uncooperative learners, observing disobedience behaviors, and assessing learning difficulties. The study recommends that Life orientation teachers should teach learners to be aware of the practical skills that are required in times of crisis, when they are experiencing emotional stress, instead of acting out by displaying problem behavior.

This paper attempts to flesh out how the biophiliac, anthropocentric, and ethnological modes of biosemiotic representation aid in the imaging and discoursing of nature-culture relationships in the selected poems from the anthologies A Man of Earth and A Native Clearing. Capitalizing on ecocriticism, biosemiotics provide an ecological reading of the manifestations of human culture and their natural surroundings. This reading underscores how meaning-making and the intricacies of the sign system transpire in all living systems. This reading also paves the way for modeling the environment through literature highlighting the complex relations between the environment and human culture with an amplified and specialized view of the individual entities that shape and affect the environment. Using the descriptive-analytical research design and the theories of Zapf, Hoffmeyer, and Uexkull, we illustrate how the biosemiotic foregrounds of the poems speak of how sign relations project the dealings and ruptures between human-cultural activities and other natural semiotic subjects. We also underscore the perils stemming from anthropocentric players with emphasis on their cultural undertakings, the hallowed character of nature steering tragic ecology, the evolutionary fitness and adaptability of animals, ecosophy and speciesism and how these affect the biosphere and the formation of biosemiotic linkages and reciprocations.

“What makes us human?” Throughout time, people have been preoccupied with this question, believing that humans are at the pinnacle of the world. Today, technology blurs the boundaries of what is considered “natural” versus “enhanced,” leading to a fallout with the limited views of humanism and modernity. This paper explores the many views on posthumanism that have been established by several thinkers to attempt to understand the concept. An illustrative text is then used to elucidate the implication of the posthumanist thought in literature. Posthumanist themes are prevalent in science fiction, embodying people’s collective anxiety toward the looming future of humanity, such as in the works of Philip K. Dick. The story “The Electric Ant” poses existential questions on the nature of reality and our place in it, with highly posthumanist themes such as the presence or assimilation of robots in human societies. Posthumanism is as yet a complex and broad field of study, challenging our notions of what it means to be human and alive, and making us ask questions about how the present and future of technology could shape our human existence.

Donald J. Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election marked the beginning of a gloomy era for Iran-US relations which consequently brought about a series of economic and political consequences, most notably the international sanctions imposed on Iran. As the key player in these political affairs, Trump made several radical decisions involving Iran, provoking the Islamic regime’s harsh and insolent rejoinders which were directed at the US president’s personality. Being largely of a metaphoric nature, such negative remarks recurrently appeared across the state-run national media, constructing a particular social reality about the 45th President of the United States. This was in particular less challenging for the state, considering the general public in Iran had minimum knowledge about Trump before his election in 2016. Using Lakoff and Johnson’s theoretical framework, and investigating the use of metaphors in political news articles published in some of the government’s prominent online news agencies, this study reveals how such rhetorical devices are employed for framing Trump. Ultimately, the findings point to the idea that national media in Iran have craftily taken advantage of culturally embedded concepts to sway public perceptions against Trump, as part of the regime’s anti-west political agenda.
唐纳德·j·特朗普(Donald J. Trump)在2016年总统大选中获胜，标志着伊朗与美国关系进入了一个阴郁的时代，由此带来了一系列经济和政治后果，最引人注目的是对伊朗的国际制裁。作为这些政治事务的关键人物，特朗普做出了几项涉及伊朗的激进决定，引发了伊斯兰政权针对美国总统个性的严厉和傲慢的反驳。这样的负面言论在很大程度上是隐喻性的，经常出现在国家媒体上，构建了一个关于美国第45任总统的特定社会现实。考虑到伊朗公众在特朗普2016年当选之前对他的了解很少，这对伊朗来说尤其不那么具有挑战性。利用Lakoff和Johnson的理论框架，并调查了一些政府知名在线新闻机构发表的政治新闻文章中隐喻的使用，本研究揭示了这些修辞手段是如何被用来陷害特朗普的。最终，调查结果表明，伊朗的国家媒体巧妙地利用文化根深蒂固的概念来影响公众对特朗普的看法，作为该政权反西方政治议程的一部分。

The English language is used for official purposes and the language in education in Ghana. However, the continuous penetration of Pidgin English (PE) in Ghanaian Senior High Schools (SHS) has been evident in recent times. The paper focuses on the motivations and perceptions of students, in a Senior High School (SHS) in Ghana, on their use of PE in school. It adopts the various motivations and perceptions of students on the use of PE, as identified in the literature, in a questionnaire survey for the responses of the research participants. The study reveals that PE is used as a concealment strategy in students’ conversations against those outside their group, and as a means of solidarity. However, the participants exhibited mixed perceptions of the use of PE in schools. The paper provides insights into PE usage in Ghanaian SHSs.

The connection between mass culture and literature has grown extensively over the years. This is evident in the works of Manuel Puig, whose regard for popular culture, particularly films, is undeniable. He cinematically appropriates his characters, themes, narration, and plot making, such as the source text, instead of being the translated material. This paper is an exploration of gender politics and identity through the lens of the characters portrayed in the following texts: (1) Betrayed by Rita Hayworth (1968), (2) Heartbreak Tango (1996), (3) Kiss of a Spider Woman (1973), and Pubis Angelical (1979). The contention of this paper revolves around the influence of mass culture, particularly the role of films towards identity construction, specifically on gender-where issues like politics, patriarchy, and nationalism were taken into consideration. It is clear that the characters negotiated their identity through films which functioned as their threshold to consciousness, escape, and expression contrary to the society they’re living in. Furthermore, the themes reinforced the discourse of gender politics making the texts a tool for criticism towards the strict conventions imposed by the Boom period; making Puig’s writing a form of protest and a commentary on the issues relevant to the time and milieu the texts were written.
