Full textAbstract:
In the past few years, Malaysian athletes have gained international recognition with their impressive, world-record breaking accomplishments. As a result of this, Malaysian athletes are finding themselves being interviewed and giving speeches at local and international events. For professional athletes, there is a need and a duty to be able to communicate their stories and experiences as well as giving real insight and opinions about their performances, confidently, to both local and global audiences. In addressing these audiences, it is important for these professional athletes to be confident and are able to converse well using the English language, especially so when addressing a global audience. However, some Malaysian athletes are facing difficulties in communicating confidently and coherently, especially in English. It is a recognised and acknowledged skill gap in which is believed should be tackled during the formative school years. It is possible that the skill gap stems from a lack of motivation and poor attitude beginning from secondary school. This paper discusses the findings of a study undertaken to investigate these issues further by carrying out a questionnaire survey on the attitudes and motivation of Malaysian secondary sports school students in East Malaysia towards learning English as a second language. The study reveals an overall positive attitude towards learning English by the sports students. In addition, the findings reveal that the sports school students are extrinsically and intrinsically motivated in learning English. The study concludes with recommendations for future research and is expected to make a contribution to the literature of attitudes and motivation especially for but not limited to secondary sports school students.

Full textAbstract:
The Slovak National Archives in Bratislava contain a large manuscript catalogue of an extensive book collection formerly located in one of the numerous residences of the branched aristocratic family Ziči, namely in Voderady near Trnava. The manuscript catalogue, entitled Catalogus Librorum Bibliothecae Vedrodiensis 1894 [A Catalogue of the Books of the Voderady Library 1894], presents a library which, according to information from the 19th century, contained about 12,000 volumes. In the catalogue, the books are divided into 19 thematic groups: theological works and prayer books, linguistic publications, dictionaries and manuals, periodicals, works on arts and crafts, Hungarian novels and short stories, German and Italian novels and short stories, French novels and short stories, English novels and short stories, the works of literature of other European and domestic provenance as well as ancient classics in various editions, memoirs, historical works, geographical literature and travelogues, natural-science publications, works on sports, specialised works on horse breeding, works on economy, legal and political works, and prints referred to as special works. This paper focuses on the thirteenth thematic group of the Voderady library, namely geographical literature and travelogues (Földrajz, Útleírás). This has been motivated by the fact that members of the Ziči family, the owners of the Voderady residence Jozef Ziči (1841–1924) and his brother Augustín (1852–1925), enjoyed not only travelling around Europe but also exploring distant exotic lands. Consequently, this group contains 717 registered titles, forming the largest group of the Voderady library. The presented literature in Hungarian, French, English and German comprises a wide range of works including travelogues, atlases and maps, tourist guides, manuals and professional geographical publications of both domestic and foreign provenance.

Full textAbstract:
The study investigates the role of suffixation in Pashto-English hybridization at the word level and the sociolinguistic significance of such hybridization. Data from electronic media, including programmes from Khyber News, representing both formal and informal domains of language use, is used for the study. The programmes selected include Top Stories, News Hour, Mohim Repotuna, Naway Sahar and Sports Mag. Employing content analysis as a research method, a quantitative approach for the investigation of hybridized English lexical category and a qualitative approach for its sociolinguistic significance have been used. The present study employs the framework presented by Kachru (1978), as adapted by Rasul (2006). The findings of the research show that noun is frequently hybridized both in formal and informal domains of language used mostly by the addition of Pashto inflectional suffixes. It is concluded that suffixation got an important role in Pashto-English hybridization that leads to the creation of hybrid forms predicting language shift and the emergence of a new variety of Pashto.

This qualitative case study investigates the use of online authentic materials in teaching English at SMPN 2 Tinambung . The study aims to identify the types of online authentic materials used, teachers’ perceptions of their use, and the challenges faced by teachers in using them. Two English teachers were selected using purposive sampling. The results show that teachers used various types of online authentic materials such as YouTube videos, Google pictures, online articles, online news, podcasts, and web short stories. The teachers perceived online authentic materials to be similar to face-to-face authentic materials, but with different media. They were able to adapt the materials based on their needs and purposes. However, they preferred face-to-face meetings due to fewer problems. Challenges in the implementation of online authentic materials included internet connection, classroom management, and language difficulty.

Englantilaisen seurajalkapalloilun seuraamisella on Suomessa pitkät ja vahvat perinteet. Taustalla on niin brittifutiksen ympärille sotien jälkeen rakentunut Vakioveikkaus kuin myös median merkittävä rooli englantilaisen jalkapallon sanansaattajana. Vaikka vedonlyönti- ja mediamarkkinat ovatkin muuttuneet, brittifutis on säilyttänyt asemansa niin suomalaisten jalkapallofanien kuin urheilumedian suosiossa.Yksi brittifutista käsittelevien mediatekstien erikoisuus Suomessa on urheilulehtien säännöllisesti julkaisemat Englannin alasarjajoukkueiden ja niiden kannattajien arkea kuvaavat jutut. Jalkapallo- ja mediamaailman muutoksista huolimatta näiden juttujen rakenne ja tyylilaji ovat säilyneet vuosien kuluessa hämmästyttävän samankaltaisina. Tässä artikkelissa analysoidaan narratiivisella tutkimusotteella yhteensä 64 Urheilulehdessä julkaistua alasarjajoukkuetta käsittelevää tekstiä.Analyysin tulokset osoittavat, että alasarjajoukkueen arjesta kertovissa jutuissa pelikentillä saavutettavien voittojen sijaan kamppailua käydään paikallisen elämäntavan ja yhteisön arjen säilymisen puolesta. Tarinaa on mahdollista tulkita vastanarratiivina suhteessa niin tulosten ja voittojen kyllästämään urheilujournalismiin kuin myös globaalin urheilubisneksen tavoittelemaan jatkuvaan kasvuun.Avainsanat: englantilainen jalkapallo, alasarjat, kannattajuus, urheilumedia, narratiivit“The Main Thing is That We Exist” – Urheilulehti´s Decade in the Lower Leagues of English FootballEngaging with English club football has deep roots in Finland, dating back to the post-war era and coinciding with the growing betting industry and media exposure. Despite shifts in betting and media markets, British football has sustained its popularity among Finnish football enthusiasts and within the sports media.One of the specialties of the media texts dealing with British football in Finland is the regularly published articles describing the everyday life of English lower league teams and their supporters. The structure and style of these stories have remained remarkably similar over the years. In this article, a total of 64 texts about lower league teams published in Urheilulehti are analyzed using narrative research.The findings reveal a narrative focus on the preservation of local lifestyles and community everydayness rather than triumphs on the playing field. This narrative can be interpreted as a counter-narrative, diverging from the result-centric sports journalism and the perpetual expansion pursued by the global sports industry. Keywords: British football, lower league teams, supporters, sports media, narratives

Full textAbstract:
Bengali ranks among the first ten spoken languages in the world with a native speaker numbering about 230 million people. With UNESCO declaring 21st February as International Mother Language Day to commemorate the laying down of lives by five Bangladeshi students for the cause of their mother tongue, Bengali has come into the radar of worldwide attention . Though significant amount of prose, poetry have been written in Bengali language and large number of newspapers in Bengali get published daily, technically it is still considered a Low Resource Language (LRL) unlike English or French which are High Resource Language (HRL). The reason is not far to seek as corpora in varied domains such as short stories, sports, politics, agriculture etc is less in number and even when they are available, the size is less. Machine translation (MT) is difficult to perform in Bengali as parallel corpora from Bengali to other languages and vice versa is few and far between and when they are available they suffer from the problems of size and quality. This work is aimed at implementing one state of the art model in Neural Machine Translation (NMT) which is called the self-attention transformer model to perform translation from English to Bengali and vice versa. Though a couple of research work has been published in the recent years on MT from English to Bengali, they are mostly domain specific. This paper does not focus on any specific domain for NMT from English to Bengali and as such may be conceived as a more of general domain NMT from English to Bengali which is more difficult than domain specific NMT. Performance evaluation of the model was done using BLEU version-4 vis-à-vis translations of well known English-Bengali MTsystems.

Full textAbstract:
This mixed research aimed to determine if, in their initial training, teaching students consider Scratch and Storybird, digital storytelling applications, as contributing to promoting originality after an intervention in which they previously experimented with them. It was studied whether they considered it convenient to encourage children’s creativity by combining them to create stories in Spanish and English (as EFL) and then having the teacher adapt these two applications. The participants included 134 university students, teachers in initial training at Huelva’s Campus in Spain. The quantitative results as a whole showed significant differences regarding the different dimensions of originality analysed. In the qualitative ones, it was recognised that these apps encourage cognitive development, creativity, learning, communicative competence, and learning attitude, recognising the apps as didactic tools. When cross-examining the data, it was deduced that the digital storytelling applications preferably provide the benefits of encouraging, in a specific way, originality, imagination, and the production of stories in a multimodal manner. Thus, the emerging variables are cognitive.

Full textAbstract:
Discourse studies, being quite extensive in recent decades, remain more focused on literary genres (poems, short stories, novels), which are subject to consideration as pragmalinguistics and sociolinguistics for a particular recipe ideas typical situation. Meanwhile, newspapers and publicistic discourse can be considered a vast field for research, both from the point of view of text structures, its content and formal features, not the least of which are the figures of speech, in particular, allusion. The variety of types of allusions in newspaper and magazine texts and their titles gives them the richness, emotion and angst. This article discusses the text – discourse distinguishing; intertextuality and its features; peculiarities of functioning of the allusions in the headlines of newspaper and magazine articles in English. Also, the article provides statistical data on the frequency of allusions to the most vivid thematic groups such as culture, sports, economics and politics. Being a very interesting element of intertextuality, allusion has its potential in the process of formation of skills of all types of speech activity.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses how four faculty from the English BA program have responded to the crises faced during 2020 and beyond: the pandemic, the transition to online teaching, and the ongoing struggle for racial justice. First, Dr. Krauthamer provides an overview of the discussions held during our “Read and Meet” series of weekly, virtual conversations, including faculty from other programs and colleges, alumni, current students, and community members. With 24 sessions in 2020, this series resulted in a reading list of Black Lives Matter materials that we are using in our courses and the submission of a grant to the National Endowment of the Humanities. Dr. De presents how we can “understand and reconcile with some blind spots on conversations about identities and their intersections with the complexities of belonging in the 21st century.” In her words, she is concerned with “how can [one] facilitate a conversation on antiracism without also acknowledging the incompleteness of the ontology of race in the US.” Next, Dr. Turpin presents how she teaches by example, demonstrating how, in her words, “Black feminists are in a unique position to fight for a pedagogical practice that is socially progressive so that the next generation of academics will, indeed, come from the very classroom population from where we have taught.” Dr. Vilageliu-Diaz presents how these conversations can be extended to the community through her community writing project, “StoryTime,” a weekly program where children see and create their own stories. In her words, “There are many ways community-engaged writing and teaching can occur, and one of them is by collaborating with schools and supporting their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.”
