Today, effective English writing is one of the most valuable professional skills for growth and development in the world of entrepreneurship. In spite of the prominence of English as the leading language of business and business education, writing is still one of the biggest challenges that business students face. The purpose of this paper is to report on a study that explored Omani business student-perceived challenges, needs and wants in writing. The study used an online survey involving seventy students from Sultan Qaboos University who were asked to share their perceptions in regard to these three dimensions specifically related to the skill of business writing. Analysis of the data was conducted using frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations. Findings reveal that business students place effective writing skills high in terms of their perceived necessity. They also indicate that in spite of interesting and engaging writing activities contextualized in Oman’s world of business, students’ overall enjoyment level of writing is moderate on average due to perceived challenges throughout learning, and lacks in perspectives pertaining to how the writing tasks and assignments could be developed and implemented, including providing more guiding writing practice, more feedback, more interesting topics and more real-world topics and tasks. These student challenges, needs and wants analysis’ findings can direct further developments, leading to a successful English business writing syllabus and teaching practice.

This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Anthropology. Please check back later for the full article. In discussing history and anthropology together, it is often acknowledged that the relationship between the two has been contradictory and contentious, but that their interplay has also been prescient and productive. At the same time, such considerations, turning on dissension and dialogue, are principally premised upon framing anthropology and history as already known, taken for granted disciplines. Here, each pre-figured enquiry is seen as characterized by its own discrete desires and distinct methods, concerning research and writing, analysis and description. Arguably, what is required is another approach to the subjects of history and anthropology, their tensions and intersections, their contentions and crossovers. Three matters assume salience. First, to juxtapose anthropology and history is to reconsider these enquiries, sieving them against their formidable disciplinary conceits. Second, this requires exploring the constitutive linkages of the two with empire and nation, time and space, race and reason as well as with wider transformations of the human sciences. These reveal curious connections as much as mutual makeovers, especially when mapped as careful genealogies and critical poetics of anthropological and historical knowledges. Third, and finally, at stake are bids that stay with and think through received configurations of tradition and temporality, culture and power, and hermeneutic and analytical procedures. These make possible the tracking of astute articulations, often recent, of historical consciousness and subaltern pasts, gender and sexuality, nation and state, and colony and modernity—based on the shared sensibilities of anthropology, history, and associated enquiries and perspectives.

As the basis of communication, a writer is often identified through their handwriting characteristics. In clinical practice, static elements of handwriting are evaluated and scored, which might be used for subjective judgment in health situations. By investigating the dynamic information in space when writing Hangul, in this study, we present how to analyze Hangul writing characteristics and build new writing analysis elements in the structural language. The ample characters included 14 consonants and 10 vowels. The cloud of line distribution (COLD) method was used to visualize on-stroke characteristics when writing each character. If the written character showed a straight line (the angle of the letter being 0), the feature distribution appeared on the x-axis of the polar domain. If the written character had many kinks (the angle of the letter being −90 or 90), the feature distribution appeared on the polar domain’s y-axis. In-air movement was visualized using principal component analysis (PCA), and typical in-air movement had an annular shape, which might be used as a new element in handwriting analysis. This study shows the possibility of using such a tool for the writing analysis of structural languages.

This study analyzed eight Taiwanese English as a foreign language student teachers’ metaphors to explore their self and professional identity. This study has four major findings. First, metaphor writing was able to reveal important information about student teachers’ professional identities. Second, in terms of teaching demonstrations, metaphors written by those who taught and those who observed were different, being seen as variously as an “adventure” or a “carousel,” for instance, due to their different teaching and learning experiences. Third, their metaphors or metaphor discussions were not in-depth revelations of their understanding and knowledge of English language teaching. Fourth, these participants held positive attitudes toward metaphor writing, analysis, and discussion as “useful for reflection.”

The dual role of Muslim women in functional structural construction gets its supportive theories. It may sound classic but such perspective is sufficiently supportive towards the construction of women and such phenomenon is happening  in the society today. Women who work in the conception of Islam are considered supporting the family construction in adaptive and integrative functions. Self-control in wonking women in demanding their rights to be a superior in the household is controlled by religious values, so that women are willing to be number two where men are still the family leaders. This study describes the data descriptively with a qualitative approach, accompanied by several references in sharpening the writing analysis. The results of this study indicate that working Muslim women are more cooperative in carrying out roles in the household as feminine humans by showing their expressive character, while men are more masculine with roles that tcnd to be instrumental. Women with a more expressive character, supported by Islamic religious value system that teaches women as a makmum (someone who joins in an Islamic prayer) for men in the family, tend to take a good care of the family with sincerity and responsibility

Purpose of the Study: The study sought to discover the level of mathematical thinking in mathematical writing among the female students of the intermediate third-level in Riyadh, and thus determine the relationship between the levels of mathematical writing and mathematical thinking among the female intermediate students of the third level. Methodology: In this research, the descriptive and analytical method is used. The analytical descriptive method was used to analyze 68 books of mathematics textbooks. The study tools consist of the mathematical writing analysis card for the records of the students and to measure their mathematical thinking. Main Findings: The development of mathematical thinking in mathematics education is the main domain of this research. Through the paper, the researcher explains the students’ mistakes in their mathematical writing. Applications of this study: The results of this study may serve to guide teachers to take care of student writing, the importance of providing a track record for students' writing and their training in the integrity of mathematical writing, showing them understanding and teaching them to provide appropriate learning. Novelty/Originality of this Study: In light of the results of the study, the researcher suggests conducting studies such as: determining the relationship between the level of mathematical writing among students and other variables such as achievement, mental ability and problem-solving. The study may also be conducted on the relationship between the teaching practices of the mathematics teachers in the mathematical communication between the students and the construction of a training program to develop the written communication among the students.
