The aim of this study is to investigate how the African novelists have domesticated the English language to suit their environments, experience and purpose. Specifically, the literary pieces – The Last of the Strong Ones (Strong Ones), House of Symbols (symbols), Children of the Eagle (Children) and the Trafficked of Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo were x-rayed. This exploration adopted the Hallidian Systemic Functional Linguistics, which highlights how language is used. The textual method of data analysis, the primary and secondary data collection methods were employed and the results showed that the African literary artists in general and the Igbo Nigerian novelists in particular have taken on a unique style of writing in the African vernacular style. For that reason, the speeches of the characters are laced with dignified local appositives, high profile Igbo songs and tales, studded local proverbs, lexical transfers, ritzy transliterations and so on; and these have given African rhythm to the English language. This notwithstanding, the aura, glamour and credibility of the English language as the medium of communication are retained.

The beliefs of EFL teachers are an essential term perceived in a number of educational fields. Especially in teacher education and behavioural research, this term is usually related to teachers' habits and practices in classes, considering their impact on each other. The aim of this study is to add to prior studies on the subject of teachers' beliefs and to concentrate on English language teachers (ELT). The objective is to merge the theory of instructors' beliefs with Global English (GE). The research question 'what are the Kuwaiti instructors' beliefs about ELT and their awareness of Global English?' formalizes these aims. To accomplish the research: To discover teachers' beliefs about ELT and their awareness of Global English. This research concentrates on English language teachers at the university level. The collection of data has been conducted over two months. For data collection and interpretation, this study adopted a qualitative research methodology. Surveys were chosen as the instrument for data collection. The study used qualitative content analysis in relation to the data analysis method. Moreover, the findings were evaluated based on a deductive and inductive approach to qualitative data analysis. Results indicated various kinds of teachers' beliefs about ELT. Including views about the English language, ELT in relation to the standards, ELT with regard to the GE context. English-language beliefs played a central role in shaping two other views, which were considered secondary beliefs. Except for the content of teachers' beliefs, the study's findings have shown two significant categories of influences: internal and external, that affect the development and application of teachers' beliefs in classrooms. In this study, the internal factor referred mainly to English-language teaching beliefs based on its ability to influence other cognitive constructs (i.e., different convictions, behaviours, sensitivity) and teaching practices. As far as external factors are concerned, the teachers' diverse experiences with individuals (e.g., parents and retired teachers) and administrative legislation (e.g., policy and curriculum) are the main factors. Finally, it was possible to conclude the findings of this analysis in the same manner as previous studies, which combined teacher cognition theory with the field of GE. In other words, teacher beliefs play a crucial part in the teacher's cognitive system as a decisive role in their teaching practice. This study proposes further research to reinforce the results of contemporary research in this area.

Abstract The research on the infixed words in KBBI (Indonesian Great Dictionary) aims at describing the infixed words in the structure of the dictionary. This is a qualitative descriptive research. The subject of this study is the Fourth Edition of KBBI, while the object of research is the infixed entries contained in the dictionary. The data used in this study is the whole infixed words that made the entry in the dictionary. Data collection is carried out by reading and writing techniques. The data analysis steps are performed by collecting the entries, sorting the entries, classifying the entries by category or criteria according to the entry structure. The analysis is carried out after classification. The result of the research shows that in Fourth Edition of KBBI, there are twenty infixed words which are divided into four infixes -el-, -em-, -er-, and -in- and arranged as the main entry, i.e gelembung (bubbles), gelenang (grateful), geletar (tremble), geligi (teeth), gemeletuk (tingling), gemelugut (shrieking), gemeresik (rustling), gemeretak (rattling), gemerencang ( clanging), gemerincing (jingling), gemerlap (sparkling), gemetar (trembling), gemuntur (thundering), gemuruh  (rumbling), gerigi (serrations), serabut (fibers), seruling (flutes), sinambung (continuous), telingkah (hoarse), and telunjuk (finger). The word gerisik in the dictionary has the same basic meaning as the rhyme form, although the word geresik as the basic form of rustle are not found, while gerincing is the basic form of rattle, although the word gerencing is not found because the clanging rhyme is given the equivalent of word gemerincing to refer to the formation used. Meanwhile, in the dictionary, the word seruling (flute) that is supposed to be a derivation form of the word suling is created to be one of the meanings of the suling entry instead.  Abstrak Penelitian tentang kata-kata berinfiks pada Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kata-kata berinfiks dalam struktur kamus tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia Edisi Keempat, sedangkan objek penelitiannya adalah lema berinfiks yang terdapat di dalam kamus tersebut. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh kata berinfiks yang dijadikan lema dalam kamus tersebut. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik baca dan catat. Langkah-langkah analisis data dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan lema, mengurutkan lema, mengklasifikasikan lema berdasarkan kategori atau kriteria sesuai dengan struktur lema. Penganalisisan dilakukan setelah dilakukan pengklasifikasian. Dari hasil penelitian ditunjukkan bahwa di dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia Edisi Keempat terdapat dua puluh kata berinfiks yang dibedakan menjadi empat infiks -el-, -em-, -er-, dan -in- dan disusun sebagai lema utama, yaitu gelembung, gelenang, geletar, geligi,  gemeletuk, gemelugut, gemeresik, gemeretak,  gemerencang, gemerincing, gemerlap, gemetar, gemuntur, gemuruh, gerigi, serabut, seruling,  sinambung, telingkah, dan telunjuk. Kata gerisik dalam kamus tersebut bermakna dasar yang sama dengan bentuk jadian gemeresik meskipun tidak ditemukan kata geresik sebagai bentuk dasar gemeresik, sedangkan gerincing merupakan bentuk dasar gemerencing kendatipun tidak ditemukan kata gerencing karena pada lema gemerincing diberi padanan kata gemerencing untuk mengacu bentukan yang dipakai. Sementara itu, kata seruling yang seharusnya merupakan bentuk derivasi dari kata suling dalam kamus tersebut malah dijadikan salah satu makna dari lema suling.
