The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Education students’ levels of speaking anxiety are predicted by the variables of gender, department, grade, such sub-dimensions of “Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale for Pre-Service Teachers” as “public speaking”, “effective speaking”, “applying the speaking rules”, “organizing the speech content”, and “evaluating the speech”. Correlational survey model is employed in the study. While the dependent variable of the study is students’ “speaking anxiety”, its independent variables are gender, department, grade, and such sub-dimensions of “Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale for Pre-Service Teachers” as “public speaking”, “effective speaking”, “applying the speaking rules”, “organizing the speech content”, and “evaluating the speech”. The research population consists of 2983 students studying at seven departments of Faculty of Education of Cumhuriyet University in the 2015-2016 academic year. The research sample, on the other hand, is composed of 1057 students from seven departments of Faculty of Education of Cumhuriyet University. Data were collected via “Scale of Speaking Anxiety for Prospective Teachers”, which was developed by Kınay and Özkan (2014) to determine pre-service teachers’ speaking anxiety, and “Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale for Pre-Service Teachers”, which was developed by Katrancı and Melanlıoğlu (2013) to determine pre-service teachers’ speaking self-efficacy. Data were collected through ordinal logistic regression analysis as the dependent variable was made three-category and ordinal through cluster analysis. According to the logistic regression analysis results, gender, department, such sub-dimensions of “Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale for Pre-Service Teachers” as “public speaking” and “applying the speaking rules” have a significant influence on speaking anxiety.

To understand the mechanisms of speech perception in everyday listening environments, it is important to elucidate the relative contributions of different acoustics cues in transmitting phonetic content. Previous studies suggest that the energy envelopes of speech convey most speech content, while the temporal fine structure (TFS) can aid in segregating target speech from background noise. Despite the vast literature on TFS and speech intelligibility, the role of TFS in conveying additional speech content over what envelopes convey in complex acoustic scenes is poorly understood. The present study addresses this question using online psychophysical experiments to measure consonant identification in multi-talker babble for intelligibility-matched intact and 64-channel envelope-vocoded stimuli. Consonant confusion patterns revealed that listeners had a greater tendency in the vocoded (versus intact) condition to be biased towards reporting that they heard an unvoiced consonant, despite envelope and place cues being largely preserved. This result was replicated when babble instances were varied across independent experiments, suggesting that TFS conveys important voicing cues over what envelopes convey in multi-talker babble, a masker that is ubiquitous in everyday environments. This finding has implications for assistive listening devices that do not currently provide TFS cues, such as cochlear implants.

Este trabalho objetiva analisar a inter-relação entre elementos verbais e não verbais na construção de sentidos do enunciado capa de revista, evidenciando aspectos sócio-político-ideológicos que instauram o conteúdo do discurso e que se materializam em palavras, cores, imagens, gestos, traços. Para isso, analisa-se o enunciado da capa da revista Veja de 27 de novembro de 2013, que discorre sobre a prisão dos condenados no processo do Mensalão. Mobilizam-se, para essa investigação, os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos do Círculo de Bakhtin e os estudos realizados no âmbito da Análise/Teoria Dialógica do Discurso. A análise mostra que os sentidos do enunciado capa de revista são construídos a partir da relação de interdependência e de complementaridade entre a linguagem verbal e não verbal. O enunciado capa de revista é palco do encontro entre vozes em que o estilo, a construção composicional, o conteúdo semântico-objetal desse enunciado é construído a partir do encontro entre discursos. Abstract: This work aims to analyze the interrelationship between verbal and non-verbal elements at magazine covers, evidencing socio-political-ideological aspects that stablish the speech content that materialize in words, colors, images, gestures, traces. For this, we analyze the utterance from Veja, magazine cover from November 27, 2013, which discusses the imprisonment of convicted in the Mensalão process. We mobilize to this research the theoretical and methodological assumptions from Bakhtin Circle and studies under Analysis/Dialogic Theory of Speech. The analysis shows that the meanings of the utterance are constructed from the relationship of interdependence and complementarity between the verbal and nonverbal. Thus, Magazine cover utterance is like a stage in which, voices, style, compositional structure and objectal-semantic content is built from the meeting between speeches.

This study aimed at finding out the process of code mixing, the reasons of using code mixing by English teacher of grade X and knowing the students’ responses on the use of code mixing used by their English teacher at SMAN Bali Mandara in the academic year 2014/2015. This research was conducted by using descriptive qualitative design. The instruments used in this study were observation sheet, audio recorder, interview guide and questionnaires. Accordingly, the data accumulation showed that there was 84 sentences, classified as insertion processes, and then 37 sentences belonged to alternation process, and the last there were 14 sentences, classified as congruent lexicalization processes. The reasons of using code mixing were, 1) to make intention of clarifying the speech content for interlocutor, 2) to be emphatic about something, 3) there is no appropriate word which can be understood by the students, 4) to help the teacher to create relax situation, and 5) to quote somebody else.
