<p> American classrooms are becoming increasingly diverse as students enter with native language knowledge (other than English).

This thesis examines characterization in Ælfric’s Old English version of the biblical book of Esther, from the perspective of cognitive stylistics. This area of study uses concepts and methods from linguistics in order to better understand both how literature works and how language works. The study investigates explicit characterization cues, discourse presentation, semantic fields, and deixis to illuminate how Ælfric’s careful linguistic choices construct characters that remain true to their biblical exempla, make sense to his Anglo-Saxon audience, and underscore the doctrinal themes of the n

Abstract:

The study reported in this thesis investigated Emirati students’ claims related to experiences of cultural bias of the reading component of the IELTS examination through a critical realist lens. Critical realism posits a layered reality which allows for the conceptualization of experiences as emerging from the interplay of events and mechanisms found in two other realms of reality – the actual and the real. Experiences, therefore, have a different ontological status than the events and the causal mechanisms to which they are attributed. Social realism was used to further explore the depth of t

Abstract:

Online schooling is the newest form of education and it is quickly gaining popularity. However, this educational format also comes with one of the challenges that has always been present in schools, which is academic dishonesty. In the English Language Arts content area, academic dishonesty is most often manifested as plagiarism, however, cheating on online quizzes or exams still exists. Although this issue has always been present in English classes, it is becoming more of a concern because of the vast number of technological resources available to students including websites with pre-written

This thesis is written in three segments: a novel excerpt, an introduction to the genre of English- Canadian love stories; and a critical reflection on the creative process. The introduction to the genre is written in the style of a book introduction and is intended for a general audience. My ecocritical examination of love stories in English-Canadian fiction concludes that these stories tend to be banal subplots that are nonetheless deeply engaged with nature.

All six texts have been understudied, with the possible exception of Ami et Amile. They are linked in many ways, some thematic, some generic.

The importance given to vocabulary in second language instruction and in theories of second language acquisition has increased greatly in the last fifteen years.

Although a considerable amount of research has been done on Collins's sensation fiction, very little critical attention has been paid to his later novels. Of those critics who have chosen to consider his post-1870 fiction, the majority have dismissed it as so inferior to his early works as to be best passed over as quickly as possible. Some feel that, without Dickens to guide his pen, Collins was mcapable of writing anything worth reading; others suspect that the influence of Charles Reade was as detrimental to Collins's talent as Dickens's had been beneficial; yet more deCided that laudanum h

Abstract:

This thesis comprises a description and critical examination of the school curriculum subject, English, as a site of ideological struggle. Its main premise is that the struggle for 'ownership' of the subject is not a new one but has spanned over a century. The argument endeavours to explore the idea that English is unlike any other curriculum area in that it has, since the mid to late nineteenth century, been regarded as a subject which has the potential to effect social transformation. This issue of social transformation or 'social engineering' is at the heart of much of the current criticism

Whereas the novels have been exhaustively treated, Jane Austen's fragments have suffered neglect. My thesis aims to help remedy this lack of critical emphasis.

By showing that Northanger Abbey was neither her first attempt at fiction nor Persuasion her last, I argue that a study of these fragments deepens our insight into her creative processes, showing some unexpected shifts of tone and emphasis not immediately apparent in the completed novels.

He does this because his purpose is always to be an artist, as defined by the Aesthetic movement which influenced him.
