Mobile applications are already part of the contemporary news experience, which increasingly includes the convergent mobile application news content of conventional media, such as television stations. Impressively, the experience of such convergences has spread to include developing nations, including Nigeria. However, despite the enormous digital device and media penetrations in the country, little research has been done in order to understand the nature of such television stations’ mobile application news. With regards to the foregoing, and the importance of associated news locations, this content analysis research has been conducted and has found serious correlation between ownership type and television application news content. While Africa is the dominant proximate news locations of the prominent Nigerian television mobile application news studied, the news spread categories are largely similar across all mobile application news content.

Abstract Questioning is considered as one of the most dominant features in virtually every classroom discourse. This study aims at examining the types and functions of teacher questions that facilitate student learning in an EFL class in Vietnam. The classification of questions employed in the study follows the work proposed by Richards and Lockhart in 2007. Participants in the research were one teacher and 25 students in an English university class in Vietnam. The data was collected through classroom observation and audio recording. Both qualitative and quantitative content analysis were utilized to analyze the data. The findings of the study indicate that the most frequently used question types were convergent and divergent questions, and procedural questions only accounted for a small proportion. Furthermore, it was found that convergent questions were employed to check and guide students’ understanding of the lesson’s target lexical items, while divergent ones were used to promote students’ further analysis and their own evaluation of the knowledge provided in the study material. Finally, procedural questions were chiefly posed when the teacher monitored students in class activities. Keywords: classroom discourse, classroom interaction, teacher questions

Introduction: Twitter is growing in popularity and influence among emergency physicians (EP), with over 2200 self-identified EP users. As Twitter’s popularity has increased among EPs so too has its influence. While there has been debate about the value of Twitter as an effective educational delivery tool, little attention has been paid to the nature of the conversation occurring on Twitter. We aim to describe how influential EPs use Twitter by characterizing the language, purpose, frequencies, content, and degree of engagement of their tweets. Methods: We performed a mixed-methods analysis following a combined content analysis approach. We conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses of a sample of tweets from the 61 most influential EPs on Twitter. We present descriptive tweet characteristics and noteworthy themes. Results: We analyzed 1375 unique tweets from 57 unique users, representing 93% of the influential Twitter EPs. A majority of tweets (1104/1375, 80%) elicited some response in the form of retweets, likes, or replies, demonstrating community engagement. The qualitative analysis identified 15 distinct categories of tweets. Conclusion: Influential EPs on Twitter were engaged in largely medical conversations in which most messages generated some form of interaction. They shared resources and opinions while also building social rapport in a community of practice. This data can help EPs make informed decisions about social media engagement.
