Affective teaching is substantive in the process of learning. It aims at developing excellent moral output. For Muslims, the Prophet Muhammad becomes the trendsetter in all aspects of their life. By examining some hadiths, the Prophet Muhammad did not only provide a form of that was only cognitive or afective, but in several conditions the prophet also gave an example of how to learn and teach. Therefore prophetic learning is necessarily integrated into all instructional contents so students can fully develop their attitude accordingly. English is a necessary subject, but on the other hand, it also teaches the idea of secularity which exist in English culture. Integrating prophetic learning in English language teaching can be done through: (1) teacher as a model; (2) stimulus response/questioning; (3) story telling; (4) analogy/logical order; (5) direct practice; (6) applied materials; (7) giving advice; (8) closing statement.

The One

The last two decades have witnessed a growing interest in vocabulary items consisting of more than a single word in the field of English language teaching (ELT) (Nation & Meara, 2002, p. 36; Schmitt, 2000, p. 96). Researchers in the area came to notice that language is produced by native speakers as 'chunks' rather than single words (Schmitt, 2000, p. 42; Read, 2000, p.20). This entails that if language instructors wish English as a foreign language (EFL) learners to attain native-like proficiency, they should be trained on the use of chunks of language and equipped with a large number of them. Such multiple-word items, Schmitt (2000) explains, constitute a rather high percentage of the English language and are drawing more attention. Thus, these chunks of language are worth spending time on in any language course. The purpose of the following paper is two-fold: on the one hand, the researcher intends to get ELT instructors aware of the concept of collocations and its significance, for those who are not already aware of this aspect of language. On the other hand, the researcher aims at suggesting ways to help learners develop collocational knowledge.

Pictures are language teaching aids that can make students love to write. They have an idea to write. They can describe what they see. This study focuses on the coherence and unity of student descriptive essay written based on the picture. There are several ways to know how coherence and how the unity of a paragraph. For coherence, there are noun repeats, use of pronouns, use of transitions, and setting sentences in a logical order. On the other hand, for unity, the author only discusses one main idea. The research design used is descriptive qualitative. This study was conducted in three meetings. Each meeting, the students get a different picture. Next, they should write and collect at the end of the meeting. Then, the words, phrases, and sentences written by students are analyzed. Furthermore, it was analyzed descriptively. From the results of student essay, it can be seen that there is a significant improvement on the ability of students in writing descriptive text. It seems that the use of images can help students to write descriptive text. The picture can give them an illustration of what they will write. Keywords: Picture, descriptive text, coherence, unity

English Culture

<p>Culture is the embodiment of national spirit, and language is one of the important carriers of culture, which is the most intuitive way to reflect culture. College English, which aims at cultivating students' comprehensive English application ability, is an important compulsory course in college. However, in the process of English application, due to the huge differences between China and the west in geographical conditions, climate and other conditions, the cultures formed by the two sides are also very different from each other. Therefore, misunderstanding of individual words and sentences may easily occur in the process of English application, leading to misunderstanding between the two sides. Some universities propose to introduce English culture into English teaching. Based on the importance of English culture in college English language teaching, this paper analyzes the reasons for the lack of English culture in college English language teaching and the corresponding countermeasures.</p>

The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the use of first person pronouns (I, my, me, we, our, us) and their functions in creating authorial self in 20 master’s theses written in English by Turkish authors and 20 research articles written in English by non-Turkish authors. Master’s theses used in the study were written in the field of English Language Teaching in twelve different Turkish universities and they were selected from the database of Turkish Council of Higher Education. Research articles used in the study were also written in the field of English Language Teaching and they were selected from five different journals: Applied Linguistics, System, TESOL Quarterly, English for Specific Purposes, and ELT Journal. For analyzing the data, each occurrence of first person pronouns in the theses and articles were coded and examined in order to find out the functions they serve. Results revealed a large difference in the use of first person pronouns and the functions they have. Turkish authors used these pronouns quite rarely and generally the use of these pronouns signaled low degree of authorial self; on the other hand, non-Turkish authors used these pronouns more frequently and they mostly preferred to use them for expressing greater degree of authorial self.

Many people engage in code-switching or mixing practises by speaking a different language and their mother tongue when talking with other individuals who comprehend various languages. There are multiple reasons why people tend to code-switch during interaction with others. One important reason is that people consciously and unconsciously code-switch because they want to fit in. Code-switching is also implied in the language teaching context, where L2 learners cod switching between their mother tongue and the other language to get involved in the learning process.
