Based on Geoffrey Leech's politeness principle (1975), Brown and Levinson's face saving and face threatening theory (1987), this paper is a comparative study of the gender differences in the refusal strategies employed by the English majors. The DCT (Discourse Completing Test) from Tanck Sharyl (2004) is modified in this study. The results of this study show that both male and female students of the English majors use the refusal strategies in a speech act. The differences of refusal strategies between male and female lie in the direct refusal and the indirect refusal. Most of the female students tend to use an indirect refusal politeness strategy to save the others’ face in the communication, avoiding the face threatening, while most of the male students seem to use direct refusal. The achievements of this study make some contribution to the relevant study and provide some indications to English teaching and learning in China. It is of some significance to improve the English pragmatic competence of English majors.

Since last decades gender issue has been a debatable issue in Indonesia, particularly in the field of education. Men generally have access to all stages or levels of education, while women are mostly left behind. Gender equality has been declared nowadays. Women, however, are still discriminated in the field of education. This article offers some important alternatives to solve the problem of gender inequality in education. One of important strategies to deal with the problem is developing an inclusive educational system. This model of education includes six steps: first, revising the language and content of text books which have gender bias; second, encouraging female students to express their cultural differences; third, giving opportunity to female students to be able to access to and participate in all programs and departments in every educational stages, especially the programs that generally are dominated by male students, by developing a new student recruitment system that considers gender balance; fourth, integrating gender equality paradigm in every subject matter and increasing the gender awareness of both teachers and students; fifth, developing extra programs periodically and giving the women an opportunity to be the leader of the program; sixth, making gender balance between the number of male and female teachers and giving them same access and participation in the process of decision making. The strategy, nevertheless, is not enough merely by transforming the educational system and program. The paradigm, more over, has also to be changed. Thus, the writer proposes what so~call humanity educational paradigm; the educational system which not only rejects gender inequality, but also makes an effort to eliminate all kinds of humanity based,discrimination and exploitation. The strategy focuses primarily on the empowerment of students. It includes three important parts: power-to, power-with, and power within. By employing this strategy, education will become the most effective medium to eradicate all gender inequality problems and, at the same time, create equality for both women and men in education.

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.
