Correct Pronunciation

This article presents the results of a research study based on two language teaching techniques, drilling and color-coding, and their effect on the correct pronunciation of the past tense phonemes /t/, /d/, and /ɪd/ in regular verbs in simple past tense when reading aloud; the population of this study was composed of twelve young adults. Qualitative and quantitative data from two instruments: an identification tally sheet and a questionnaire were gathered. The results obtained in the pre and post-test (identification tally sheet) and the performance of the participants from the experimental groups (B and C) showed that there was a positive impact on the accurate production of the past tense phonemes when reading aloud. Lastly, this research study provides evidence to claim the teaching of drilling and color-coding techniques are useful to pronounce the past tense phonemes /t/, /d/, and /ɪd/ in regular verbs correctly.

This study investigates whether gesture-enhanced recasts lead to better production of the English regular past tense. Fifty-nine low-intermediate ESL students at a US university took part in communicative activities in class, during which they received, respectively, no feedback, verbal recasts, or gesture-enhanced recasts, the latter being a verbal recast accompanied by a point-back gesture indicating the non-target-like use or absence of the past tense. All learners also completed two assessments, a grammar test about the regular past tense and an oral production test that was designed to elicit the regular past tense, as a pre-test, an immediate post-test, and a delayed post-test a week later. Then, a repeated-measure ANOVA was used to analyse the linguistic development, using the obtained test scores. The results showed that there was no difference across the conditions in the grammar test, owing to the ceiling effect. On the other hand, learners significantly improved from the pre-test to the post-test in the oral production test, but there were no differences across the conditions. This contradicts a previous finding that teachers’ pedagogical gestures during recasts better facilitated the development of locative prepositions. Further, this study discusses how learning types (rule-based vs. item-based) involved in two different linguistic targets and different gestures used in the two studies may affect the efficacy of recasts.

This experimental study investigated the relationship between noticing of corrective feedback and L2 development considering the learners’ perspective on error correction. Specifically, it aimed to uncover the noticeability and effectiveness of recasts, prompts, a combination of the two, to determine a relationship between noticing of CF and learning of the past tense. The participants were four groups of college ESL learners (n = 40). Each group was assigned to a treatment condition, but the researcher taught the control group. CF was provided to learners in response to their mistakes in forming the past tense. While noticing of CF was assessed through immediate recall and questionnaire responses, learning outcomes were measured through picture description administered via pre-test, post-test, and delayed post-test design. Learner beliefs about CF were probed by means of a 40-item questionnaire. The results indicated that the noticeability of CF is dependent on the grammatical target it addresses and that the feedback techniques that push learners to self-correct alone or in combination with target exemplars are more effective in. In relation to the learning outcomes, the overall past tense accuracy increased more than that for questions, but there were no significant differences between the groups. Finally, in relation to the beliefs about CF, the participants’ responses centered on the importance of oral CF, recasts as CF technique, prompts as CF technique, and affective consequences of CF, two of which mediated the noticeability of the supplied CF, but none impacted the learning outcomes.

A troublesome pronunciation issue for Spanish EFL learners is the past -ed ending of regular verbs. Neuro linguistic Programming (NLP) is a perspective integrating neurology, language and programming which are key for processing information and for responding to learners’ styles with the potential to help EFL teachers address this pronunciation issue. This paper reports a study conducted in two subsequent terms with 43 students at a university language institute: two groups taught using standard pronunciation techniques and two using NLP techniques preceded by oral tasks in which they were encouraged to pronounce regular verbs in the past. Data collected included students self-recorded pronunciation tasks, a survey to elicit students’ motivation and satisfaction and a teacher’s log with insights about students’ attitude and response to the strategy. Analysis of the data showed that after the first implementation, the NLP group improved their pronunciation a 30%, the standard one improved a 10%. During the second implementation, the NLP group showed an improvement of 23.7% pronunciation accuracy in task 1 and a 24.6% in task two compared to the standard group. The findings suggest that teacher’s use of NLP techniques into their classroom instruction have a positive impact on students’ pronunciation of the past ending of regular verbs.

لقد قام الباحث بمشاهدة وملاحظة تطبيق وتعليم اللغة العربية في فصل الثاني العالية بمعهد نور الاسلام غنتي فوجد الباحث بعض المشكلات اللغوية خصوصا في مهارة القراءة، منها عدم الممارسة على قراءة الجهرية، القراءة المتقطعة، القفز عن بعض الكلمات، التكرار في القراءة، عدم معرفة قواعد الصرفية. ووجد الباحث بعض المشكلات النفسية منها إهمال المعلم، القراءة بلا رغبة والاهتمام. والأسس المشكلات المذكورة في السابقة هو المشكلات التعليمية يعني الكتاب المستخدم في هذا المعهد ليس الكتاب التعليمي. بناءا على هذه المشكلات قام الباحث بالبحث الذي يهدف إلى معرفة مدى فعالية استخدام كتاب الصرف للمستوى الثاني من سلسلة تعليم اللغة العربية لتنمية مهارة القراءة لدى طلاب الفصل الثاني العالية بمعهد نورالاسلام غنتي ولمعرفة طريقة تعليم سلسلة تعليم اللغة العرابية وفضل الباحث منهجية الكمي، لأن الباحث استخدم نوع البحث التجريبي. وبعد القيام بالتجربة وتحليل البيانات حصل الباحث على خلاصة وهي أن استخدام كتاب الصرف للمستوى الثاني من سلسلة تعليم اللغة العربية لتنمية مهارة القراءة فعال. اعتمادا على النتائج التي حصل عليها الطلاب في الاختبار القبلي والبعدي. معدل نتائج الطلاب في الاخبار القبلي هي 52,50 وتكون الاختبار البعدي هي 90,00 تدل على أن نتائخ الطلاب ترتفع ارتفاعا شديدا بعد التجربة باستخدام كتاب الصرف للمستوى الثاني من سلسلة تعليم اللغة العربية. وهذا موثوق بنتيجة المقابلة.   The researcher saw and observed the application and teaching of the Arabic language in the second semester of the high school at the Nurul Islam Ganti Institute, and the researcher found some linguistic problems, especially in the skill of reading, including lack of practice in reading aloud, intermittent reading, skipping some words, repetition in reading, lack of knowledge of morphological rules. The researcher found some psychological problems, including neglect of the teacher, reading without desire and attention. The foundations of the problems mentioned in the previous one are educational problems, meaning the book used in this institute is not the educational book. Based on these problems, the researcher conducted research aimed at knowing the effectiveness of using the textbook for the second level of the Arabic language education series to develop the reading skill of the second semester high students of the Nurul Islam Ganti Institute and to know the method of teaching the Arabic language teaching series and the researcher preferred the quantitative method, because the researcher used the type empirical research. After doing the experiment and analyzing the data, the researcher got a conclusion, which is that using the exchange book for the second level of the Arabic language teaching series to develop reading skill is effective. Depending on the results obtained by students in the pretest and the post-test. The average results of the students in the tribal news is 52.50 and the post test is 90.00 indicating that the students ’results rise dramatically after the experiment using the exchange book for the second level of the Arabic language teaching series. This is reliable with the outcome of the interview.

The article deals with the use of simplex and compound (prefixed) verbs in narrative text. Main clauses comprising finite verb forms in the past and in the past habitual tense are examined in an attempt to establish to what extent simplex and compound verbs exhibit aspect oppositions, and whether a correlation exists between the occurrence of simplex vs. compound verbs and distinct textual units. The investigation shows that although simple and compound verbs in Lithuanian are not in direct aspect opposition to each other, in the background text portions most of the verbs are prefixless past tense forms or habitual forms, whereas in the plot-advancing text portions, the vast majority of verbs are compound verbs in the simple past tense.

The ʿUthmānic way of writing (al-rasm al-ʿUthmānī) is a science that specialises in the writing of Qur'anic words in accordance with a specific ‘pattern’. It follows the writing style of the Companions at the time of the third caliph, ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān, and was attributed to ʿUthmān on the basis that he was the one who ordered the collection and copying of the Qur'an into the actual muṣḥaf. This article aims to expound on the two fundamental functions of al-rasm al-ʿUthmānī: that of paying regard to the ‘correct’ pronunciation of the words in the muṣḥaf, and the pursuit of the preclusion of ambiguity which may arise in the mind of the reader and his auditor. There is a further practical aim for this study: to show the connection between modern orthography and the ʿUthmānic rasm in order that we, nowadays, are thereby able to overcome the problems faced by calligraphers and writers of the past in their different ages and cultures.

Heart failure (HF) affects more than 5 million people and has an increasing incidence and cost burden. Patients note symptoms of dyspnea and fatigue that result in a decreased quality of life, which has not drastically improved over the past decades despite advances in therapies. The assessment of exercise capacity can provide information regarding patient diagnosis and prognosis, while doubling as a potential future therapy. clinically, there is acceptance that exercise is safe in hf and can have a positive impact on morbidity and quality of life, although evidence for improvement in mortality is still lacking. specific prescriptions for exercise training have not been developed because many variables and confounding factors have prevented research trials from demonstrating an ideal regimen. Physicians are becoming more aware of the indices and goals for hf patients in exercise testing and therapy to provide comprehensive cardiac care. it is further postulated that a combination of exercise training and pharmacologic therapy may eventually provide the most benefits to those suffering from hf.

Narrative Conventions

Television News has been a resorted platform for Indian viewers over the past decades. A majority of Indian viewers are known to trust this platform for its highly expected one-stop, credible, professionally opinionated sense of reporting.  News channels have become platforms for celebrity journalists and anchors to exercise their authority. News organisations have become backbones of information and public opinion and journalists and their organisational agenda have taken this forward.  With bold and competitive strategies used to enable news presentations, it is essential to examine and recognize existing Television news narrative conventions and practices that have gained momentum in recent years. Through a qualitative analytical approach taken for this research study, it is clear that narrative conventions exist and modify, thus producing fashionable and modernized forms of presentation techniques during prime time. With a clear organisational norm and genre of discourse shared by Indian English television channels today, the paper highlights persisting organisational norms, unconventional discourses, rhetoric (audio and visual) and music – a contributing element as existing contributors of narrative conventions.
