Abstract:
This paper explored the cultural and linguistic aspects of health exchanges between healthcare practitioners and patients among the Jukuns of Wukari in Nigeria, within the health centres in the town. It focused on patient-healthcare-provider dynamics and found out how language and culture influenced healthcare communication within formal settings. Integrating ethnographic, sociolinguistic, and anthropological approaches, the study unveiled how language and culture impacted interactions and health-seeking behaviours in these centres. It revealed the roles of language and culture in understanding health information, healthcare provider-patient exchanges, and treatment adherence within the distinct sociolinguistic context of the Jukun. Using such qualitative techniques as interviews and observations in the health centres, the study captured the intricate verbal and nonverbal communication, specific cultural discourse patterns, and communication strategies used by patients and healthcare practitioners. Findings highlighted diverse cultural and linguistic methods employed by Jukuns, such as using proverbs, ironies, metaphors, and nonverbal cues, to express themselves in healthcare settings. The research showed that these methods could facilitate communication with familiar practitioners but might complicate interactions with those from different ethnic backgrounds. Ultimately, it offered crucial perspectives for refining healthcare provision, aligning with the precise linguistic and cultural contexts of the Jukun community within formal healthcare settings in Wukari and other parts of Jukunland. Based on the foregoing, the researchers recommended that health practitioners should make use of interpreters and familiarise themselves with the cultural and linguistic norms of their immediate communities for effective health discourse that would enhance quality healthcare delivery.

Abstract:
This research highlights the efficacy of community-based language planning initiatives in ethnic conflict and violence prevention. As a threshold which elucidates how linguistic measures can help to prevent inter-ethnic violence, the research illustrates that where ethnic safeguarding reaches the extremity of violence, language issues are found to have covert but very strong causal roles as manifested in the ethnic violent conflicts affecting Nigeria’s Middle-Belt including the Berom/Afizere/Anaguta versus Hausa/Fulani; Taroh versus Hausa/Fulani (Plateau State); Tiv versus Etulo (Benue State); Tiv versus Jukun (Benue and Taraba States); and Jukun versus Kuteb (Taraba State). Paired t-test values set at a confidence interval of 95 per cent indicate that the statistical mean differences (1.60 in Tiv/Jukun and 9.60 in the Jos area) are close to the true difference occurrences in the randomly sampled populations. More significant are the two tailed P values of 0.5895 (Tiv/Jukun) showing low bilingualism; and 0.3477 (Jos area) depicting more acute bilingualism decline associated with the ethnic violence. The research then considers the application of linguistic measures vital to prevent ethnic violence. In particular, critiqued aspects of the Expanded Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scales (EGIDS) are recommended to ethnic communities, voluntary organisations and governments for implementation in dealing with violent conflicts.

Abstract:
Predicted and actual errors are a major concern to language scholars particularly contrastive analysts who argue that possible areas of difficulties for the learners of a second language can be predicted and thereof emphasized to ensure proficiency. It is on this premise that this paper seeks to investigate predicted and actual phonological errors of Jukun learners of English and a second language. The paper adopts the arguments of psychological learning theories of transfer and interference as cited by Corder (1986) and Adegbite (2009) on negative transfer from MTto L2. It identifies possible causes of these errors among the learners and the specific English phonemes that they find difficult to articulate. The paper is motivated by the learners' communicative performance both within and outside classroom setting. Data /findings from the study reveal that most of the predicted errors actually manifest in the phonology of some Jukun English language users. And that these errors are due to some extent at least, to mother- tongue influence, nonexistence of certain English phonemes in Jukun among others. The paper concludes that, in spite of the above, we cannot generalize the issue of mother tongue interference because even among the learners we still find a very great range of proficient users of Standard English Phonemes.

Abstract:
This paper examines the role of language in inter-ethnic crisis with a focus on the Tiv and Jukun ethnic crisis. The qualitative method which involves collection and analysis of primary data was employed to carry out the study. The study revealed that uses of inflammable terms like: “Atswake”, “Atswa”, “Adenkankan”, “Hondobeegai”, Tor mbaayie”, Mbasoonayalave” by members of the language (groups) in conflict contribute to crisis in the society. The work also uncovered that a lot still needs to be done to forestall ethnic crisis between the two speech communities and to eliminate the consequential effects this problem has been posing as it relatesto ethnic consciousness. Based on information from the study, the recommendation is that seminars and workshops on the need for peaceful co-existence between the Tiv and Jukun ethnic groups need to be organized from time to time

Abstract:
This study examined the varieties of the Jukun language with the aim of determining whether a Standard variety actually exists as claimed. The paper carried out a comparative analysis of four varieties spoken in and around Wukari local Government area, drawing data from the Ibadan Four Hundred (400) Word list of Basic Items. The data was collected from native speakers of the language. The essence of the comparative work was to discover the similarities and differences that exist among the dialects. At the end of the study, it was discovered that although mutual intelligibility exists among the dialects, most of them varied in terms of word use and their meanings. The conclusion drawn was that there was no standard variety. This study recommends that for a standard dialect to be chosen, measures should be taken to design orthographies for the dialect most widely spoken and speakers of that variety encourage others to accept it.

Abstract:
The study examined the Effects of Educational Field Trips on Social Studies Students’ Academic Achievement in Junior Secondary Schools in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The design of the study was the non-equivalent pre-test post-test control group type of quasi experiment. The population of the study consisted of junior secondary school students in Zaria Education Zone, Kaduna State, Nigeria numbering 26,322. Also, 120 students were purposively sampled from JSSII in the following schools: Government Junior Secondary School Tudun-Jukun, Zaria, Government Junior Secondary School, Awai, Government Junior Secondary School, Aba and Government Junior Secondary School Muchiya, Sabon-Gari. The data collection instrument was Social Studies Achievement Test (SOSAT). The content and construct validity was ascertained by experts in Social Studies, language and test and measurement. The reliability coefficient index power of the instrument stood at 0.81 determined using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC). The data analysis tools were mean and standard deviation used in answering the question posed while t-test independent samples was used in testing the null hypothesis postulated at 0.05 alpha. The study found that there exist significant difference between the mean academic achievement scores of students taught Social Studies using educational field trip (experimental) and those who were taught with lecture method (control). In the light of the foregoing, the study recommended that teachers in the Kaduna State should be encouraged to adopt educational field trip in teaching Social Studies in order to enhance students’ academic achievement.

Abstract:
The private juku (cram school) industry is an enormously profitable and influential area of education in Japan, including in the specific field of English language teaching (ELT). However, while much research has been carried out in other areas of ELT in Japan, juku have largely escaped the attention of researchers. This paper attempts to argue the need for more research into English language education as it is practiced in juku. The article first situates juku within the Japanese education system, and then illustrates the extent to which juku have been under-researched when compared to other ELT contexts in Japan. The author advocates the need for more research into ELT to be carried out in juku, and finally suggests some areas into which this research could be conducted. 学習塾産業は大きなビジネスであり、日本の英語教育に大きな影響を与えている。ところが、高校や大学などでの英語教育に関する研究は多くなされているが、学習塾での英語教育の研究はされていない。本論では、初めに、学習塾の現状を説明し、次に、どれだけ学習塾の英語教育の研究が不足しているか説明する。最後に、学習塾の英語教育の研究の必要性を訴え、より多くの研究がこの分野で行われるべきであると論じる。

Abstract:
In the new course of study starting next year, programming education starts in all elementary schools in Japan. However, the definition of programming education is not so clear, and an independent compulsory subject for programming education is not available, yet. Almost all of the teachers are not good at programming; they do not have enough ideas on how to teach “programming” in ordinary required subjects. It is expected, however, that this new engagement on programming education at elementary school will promote the development of new ways of teaching programming education in junior and senior high schools. The authors developed a new client-server web system that can help teachers teach Python programming and also help gifted and talented students learn by themselves. In this chapter, the authors detail such a client-server Web system and the activities performed at a juku (private tutoring) school.
