Full textAbstract:
A wireless communication network using an embedded microprocessor is a communication network method that uses radio waves to transmit the sound, text, pictures, data, and other information that the sender needs to transmit to the receiver through space and ground. With the rapid development of world science and technology, the application of radio communication network technology and international exchanges and cooperation have become increasingly active. In the era of radio communication networks, through radio communication English and radio communication English translation, we can receive real-time information about the development of radio communication technology. It can be seen that radio communication English plays an important role in promoting international radio technology exchanges and cooperation. Therefore, more and more researches on the structural features and translation skills of radio communication English have appeared in the academic circles. This article is aimed at studying the structural features and translation skills of English in the era of radio communication networks. The article first briefly introduces radio communication and then introduces the structural features of radio communication English, including lexical features and syntactic features. It also introduced two common radio communication spectrum detection algorithms. Finally, it explores the translation skills of radio communication English based on case analysis and provides some method reference for radio communication English translation.

Full textAbstract:
As opposed to Beckett's drama and, to a lesser degree, his television plays, the six scripts he wrote for radio are generally considered to be a textually stable category in his body of work. The only well-known exception is Cascando, whose American and British first editions were distinguished by more than fifty variants. When Everett Frost confronted the author with the Grove and Faber versions of the text in 1987, to re-record them for an American Festival of his radio plays, Beckett admitted ‘there are differences’ and advised the producer to follow the Faber example. Three years earlier, Beckett's English-language publishers had made the same choice for their joint publication of the Collected Shorter Plays (1984), when Grove discarded their texts of the radio plays for the Faber alternatives. But, not only were the American texts generally more reliable, they sometimes contained unique variants as well. Unproofed by the author, CSP added several new mistakes to the ones still surviving from the British first editions and their later reprints. This is problematic as CSP continued to serve as the model for Grove's Centenary Edition (2006) and Faber's All That Fall and Other Plays for Radio and Screen (2009). While its editor, Everett Frost, has ‘made every effort silently to correct minor flaws appearing in earlier editions, no attempt has been made to impose a rigorous consistency upon such diverse materials’. Building on Frost's work, this article compares all English editions with each other, as well as the typescripts on which they were based, to provide an overview of variants and errors for each text. The purpose is to show that Cascando is not the only one marked by differences, and that a study of the existing drafts is necessary to fully understand the publishing history of the radio plays.

Full textAbstract:
This is a collection of four plays written in the ’70s and ’80s by Italy’s foremost feminist playwright, as well as poet, critic and political activist. Editor Rhoda Helfman Kaufman states in her introduction that the volume is the first publication of plays by Maraini in English but this isn’t quite accurate. Maraini wrote a half-hour drama called Mussomeli-Düsseldorf, translated by Margaret Hollingsworth, for a collection of radio plays (Airborn, Blizzard Publishing, 1991), commissioned by CBC Radio to celebrate the Second International Women Playwrights’ Conference held in Toronto in 1991.

Full textAbstract:
Radio drama is alive and well and living in Canada, even though the audience is scattered and silent, and the playwrights relatively obscure. It works best as an intimate, personal voice in the ear of the individual listener, seducing with the meaningful sound of language. Although its pervasive tone has been critical and ironic, it is most effective as a mental theatre: sound becomes a transcription of psychological reality. The CBC has, however, produced a diversity of radio plays, from adaptations of novels to innovative series featuring new Canadian playwrights.

Full textAbstract:
Advertising plays a crucial role in our reality. It invades our lives through TV screens, radio frequencies, the pages of newspapers and journals. Being a unique phenomenon in our reality, which is designed for thousands of readers, listeners, viewers, it has given birth to different approaches and opinions. Advertising is a rapidly developing phenomenon, quick in responding to major and minor changes in the social life. Today it has penetrated into sports as well. Sport is a big business and many companies use sport as a means of publicizing their product. Thus, the present paper intends to study sport ads with the aim of presenting them as a register standing out for uniqueness, containing a small scale plot which aims to draw the attention of the reader to the phenomenon. Usually such small texts use the names of world famous sportsmen which immediately attract attention. In sport ads the plot usually includes certain qualities which demonstrate the skills of a given sportsman, and the object is advertised through creating a text which is combined with illustrations of the very object.

Full textAbstract:
Although listening skill is considered as a tough skill, there are some ways to practice or improve listening skill such as watching English programs, movies, listening to English radio and native speaker. Furthermore, Herron, York, Corrie, and Cole (2006) stated that students who practice their listening skill through videos can improve their listening comprehension. Using videos in English learning surely can attract students’ interest to watch the videos. However, motivation also plays a pivotal role in language learning, within each, motivated learners being more likely to attain their educational objectives compared to those lacking motivation. This research is intended to explore EFL students’ attitudes in term of motivation towards the use of conversation video on listening performance. A ten-item questionnaire was distributed to 36 students. The findings shows a high consistency noted within the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation category (α = .663), which indicates that most participants perceive positive attitudes regarding intrinsic and extrinsic motivation towards using conversation videos to enhance listening performance.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on Barbara Bray, an English woman of letters who worked for several decades with the BBC as a translator and adaptor of plays and novels for radio, but also as critic and scriptwriter. Evidence found at the BBC Written Archives Centre reveals that Bray was very vocal about her rights as a multitasking cultural agent: when she didn’t fight for better fees, she demanded that the variety of skills involved in her work as an intercultural intermediary be recognized and fairly remunerated by BBC officials. The article looks at how Bray adapted the nouveau roman Moderato Cantabile by Marguerite Duras (1958) and shows how Bray fought to have her work as a literary scout recognized by the BBC.

Full textAbstract:
Course books are the most popular way to learn foreign languages. However, in the 21st century, there are other ways to learn languages, such as multimedia tools. The use of the Internet, newspapers, radio, or television can be an alternative to traditional language learning methods.The rapid advancement of science and technology, such as multimedia technology, has made it possible to explore this new teaching method more effectively. In reality, multimedia technology plays a vital role in the teaching of English language, particularly in the context of non-native speaking English. It also helps non-native English speakers of language teachers to understand how to use it effectively. The use of multimedia in foreign language teaching has grown steadily, and it has greatly improved the quality of teaching and learning. To effectively teach a foreign language, the traditional method is insufficient. We ought to reconsider the way we teach and accept their impersonal quality as a type of instruction. Thus, we can legitimately use contemporary educational technology to achieve the goal of teaching languages. Nowadays, almost everyone uses multimedia tools to help them with daily tasks. For example, some people get ready to leave the house to the beat of the radio's music, while others can't imagine having breakfast without reading the newspaper and so on.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis was to develop two dramatic pieces (a radio drama and a stage play) from the Smalls Lighthouse incident of 1780. The resulting dramas are intended to be separate, but complementary, so that a consecutive immersion gives an all-encompassing sense of the characters, narrative and historical context. The purpose of these dramatic pieces - Hearts of Oak and Timbre - is more than a mere attempt to reanimate history for a twenty-first century audience. My main objective was to examine the distinct opportunities offered by radio drama and the stage, and to explore the essence of each medium (its specific, unique elements), so that the medium itself constitutes an integral part of each play. Writing for each medium, simultaneously became the act of challenging them and raised important questions. How could they be manipulated as vehicles for modem storytelling? What possibilities lay (as yet unlocked) within them? What exactly is the essence of these two forms of medium, and can that essence be written into their scripts?

Full textAbstract:
Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of African Languages at the University of Zululand, 2001.The scope of this study will cover twenty one-act radio plays that Ntuli has written from 1965 to 2000. Most of these plays have been broadcast by Ukhozi FM over the years and are available on tapes at the S.AB.C. archives in Durban. Fortunately, most of Ntuli's plays that were broadcast on the radio were later adapted, with very slight changes, and published in various books, thus making them easily accessible. There are, however, some plays that have never been broadcast before and only appear in book form. In analyzing all these one-act radio plays, emphasis will fall on how Ntuli gives symbolic qualities to theme, setting and characterization in a radio play. We propose to approach this study in this manner: Chapter 1 will provide an introduction to this study. An outline of the aim and scope of study will be covered as well as the research methodology and the approaches that will be used in this study. The biographical sketch of D.B.Z. NtuIi will also be provided so as to acquaint us with the man who has created the one-act plays that are the focus of our discussion. Chapter 2 deals with the nature, history and characteristics of radio drama. In this chapter, our focus will be on how Ntuli uses the nature and technical requirements of this medium to portray symbolic attributes of the play. Chapter 3 examines themes and subject matter that Ntuli conveys in his one-act radio plays. In this chapter we will discuss the recurring comments that NtuIi makes through different types of themes and how he depicts symbolism to enhance meaning and message of these themes. Chapter 4 will concentrate on setting as we generally know it. The aim of this chapter is to determine the extent to which Ntuli uses symbols to enhance the significant role of setting in his plays. Chapter 5 shows the literary techniques through which Ntuli depicts characterization in his plays. This chapter will deal with the symbolic features that characters adopt and how this impacts on the plot of the play. Chapter 6 provides a concluding statement. In this chapter we look back at discussions in preceding chapters, comment on our findings and give recommendations and suggestions for future research endeavors.

Full textAbstract:
Although radio drama is a very popular form of the media, it is largely neglected in
scholarship. As a result of this, it has been pushed into the periphery of research,
thereby diminishing its value in society at large. The present study attempts to unearth
the importance and value of the genre and its role in society, particularly during the
apartheid era in South Africa. In this regard, the splendid work done by, among
others, K. Tomaselli, R. Teer-Tomaselli, R. Fardon and G. Furniss, L. Gunner, D.A.
Spitulnik, D. Sibiya, M. Maphumulo, N.E. Makhosana, N. Satyo and M. Jadezweni is
acknowledged and commendable. In my view, its ‘omission’ in scholarship does not
mean that the genre played a minimal role in educating and enlightening society.
In the study I propose that radio drama was more constrained compared to other
media genres, even though it was the most accessible. However, its accessibility had
both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it informed and entertained
audiences, while on the other it could be and was used for propaganda purposes. It is
generally this paradox that the study will probe. My premise is that radio was
primarily used by the apartheid government to disseminate propaganda. In order to
ensure that the audiences were not exposed to what was happening ‘out there’,
programmes were created to present a falsehood about the country, thereby depriving
audiences of reliable information.
It is not surprising, then, that there was some confrontation between the managers and
playwrights at the Xhosa language radio station. While the managers tried to
influence programmes to propagate government policy, playwrights used the same
communicative space to educate as well as to entertain the audience. The audience
actively extracted information they needed from the plays. In other words, they played
an active role in meaning-making. Throughout the study I will claim that there was a
rapport between playwrights and the audience. Among other things, that relationship
illustrated the role that the audience played in constituting the plays. Themes such as
‘tradition’ and ‘romance’ were used to connect the plays with the audiences’ everyday
lives. These themes were acceptable at the stations even though they could be
manipulated to serve different purposes.
Some of the plays that I will examine in the study are Buzani Kubawo (1981), Nakuba
Intliziyo Ithatha Ibeka: Undoqo Sisibindi (1987), USomagqabi (1986), UHlohlesakhe
(1979), UThuthula (1970) and Apho Sikhala Khona Isakhwatsha (1981). These plays
will be examined to, among other things, establish the nature of the relationship
between the managers and playwrights. The study will contend that there was a
contestation between managers and playwrights. I will also claim that some of the
plays were based on real political and social issues that plagued the period in
question. In this regard plays such as Apho Sikhala Khona Isakhwatsha will be used
to demonstrate that some playwrights dealt with political issues.
I will also explore how women were represented in the plays. In this regard, I will
argue that women were depicted as inferior to men. To illustrate this I will discuss
plays such as USomagqabi, Lunjalo ke Uthando and others. I will also deal with the
critical issue of the ‘voice’. As a blind medium, radio relies on the voice and as such
playwrights had to work hard to make their plays not only relevant but also believable
to the audiences. The connection between the voice on radio and the ancestral voice
will be examined. Lastly, the study will suggest that radio plays are still relevant in
the present dispensation even though they play a different role compared to the
apartheid era.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2011.

This dissertation thesis focuses on the use of drama in English language teaching. In the theoretical part the field of drama in ELT is elaborated in terms of its principles, methods and examples of practical use. Based on the outlined theoretical basis the technique radio role play is introduced. The main aim of the thesis was to identify and verify possibilities and limitations of the technique applied in English language teaching. To meet the aim of the thesis action research was used as the research design employing a range of data collection methods, e.g. questionnaires with pupils; interviews with pupils, teachers and critical friends. Content analysis was used to process the collected data and the analysis was further interpreted with the support of contextual information regarding educational setting in which the research was carried out and contextual material (lesson plans, teaching material, audio and video recordings). Within the four cycles of action research initial hypotheses, which were formulated before the actual research, were verified. The research findings show that the radio role playing contributes to the development of speaking as a language skill (mainly fluency and spontaneity of speech), improvisation skills, creativity and non-verbal communication.

This qualitative study uses narrative inquiry (Connelly & Clandinin, 1988, 1990, 2001) and self-study to investigate ways to further understand and facilitate the integration of holistic philosophies of education with media literacy pedagogies. As founder and director of the Youth Media Literacy Project and a self-titled Imagitator (one who agitates imagination), I have spent over 10 years teaching media literacy in various high schools, universities, and community centres across North America. This study will focus on my own personal practical knowledge (Connelly & Clandinin, 1982) as a culture jammer, educator and cancer survivor to illustrate my original vision of a ‘holistic media literacy pedagogy’. This research reflects on the emergence and impact of holistic media literacy in my personal and professional life and also draws from relevant interdisciplinary literature to challenge and synthesize current insights and theories of media literacy, holistic education and culture jamming.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In his dramatic output of over fifty works for stage, radio, television, and film, the English author Howard Barker (b. 1946) occupies a singular niche. Though originally taking a left-wing satirical stance he has come to advocate a morally and politically ambiguous ‘Theatre of Catastrophe’; this aggressively black viewpoint he has defended in a collection of essays, Arguments for a Theatre. The following piece from that book was first delivered as a paper at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, in 1990. Barker’s plays present striking but ambiguous images rather than conventionally readable plots and refuse to give any easy guidelines for deciphering the action. In order to force audiences to do their own thinking, Barker uses disjunctions of every kind-abrupt changes of character, multivalent time and place, sudden switches of tone. Since the British theatre and broadcast media have not proved wholly sympathetic to this difficult genre, a company-the Wrestling School-began work in 1988 with the sole aim of staging his plays.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The chief feature of the reception of Cupid and Psyche since 1900 has been the diversity of genres of adaptation. New technologies have offered new opportunities: there are some traces in cinema though no full adaptation, while Louis MacNeice wrote a radio play Cupid and Psyche in 1944, which shows many interesting elements of adjusting to the medium. Staged versions have still been popular—for example, sections in The Golden Ass, written for the Globe Theatre in London by Peter Oswald in 2002, and Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses of 2002. Digital versions are now many and various, especially providing material for children and young adults. More traditional-style adaptations are found in the long stanzaic poem Perennia (1962) by Francis Warner, student of C. S. Lewis, who had offered his own version of C&P in the novel Till We have Faces (1956), while A. S. Byatt includes subtle allusions to C&P in both Possession (1990) and Morpho Eugenia (1992). Poets using the theme include especially the female writers Kathleen Raine and A .E. Stallings, as well as James Merrill.

Full textAbstract:
Although Beckett is generally known as a self-translator, he did not systematically render his own work into French and English before the 1970s. Until that time, he enlisted the help of various third parties, either translating his texts together with them on the spot or revising their work afterwards. Many of these collaborations left behind material traces which offer unique insight into the little-studied practice of co-translation. This chapter focuses on the French version of Beckett’s radio play Embers. Using unpublished information from the Pinget papers at the Bibliothèque littéraire Jacques Doucet in Paris and Beckett’s letters to Barbara Bray at TCD, this chapter compares some of the choices made by Beckett and Pinget throughout the remaining drafts of Cendres. Its purpose is to study genetically the differences between a ‘transliteration’ and a ‘(self)-translation’, showing how the former seeks to imitate or stand in for the original, while the latter continues its – in this case bilingual – genesis with more creative leeway.
