Washback Of An English Language Assessment System In A Malaysian University Foundation Programme, Umed Bokiev, Arshad Abd. Samad

The Qualitative Report

Washback refers to the influence of language assessment on teaching and learning. In contrast to the wealth of studies involving external large-scale language examinations, scant research has been conducted to explore the influence of internal language assessment on instruction, particularly in the context of a university foundation programme. This qualitative study investigated the washback effects of an English language assessment system (ELAS) on the teaching and learning of English in a Malaysian university foundation programme. Apart from an in-depth analysis of official documents on the ELAS, we conducted individual semi-structured interviews with three curriculum and assessment developers, three English language …

Self-Contradiction In Faculty's Talk About Writing: Making And Unmaking Autonomous Models Of Literacy, Andrea R. Olinger

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

In Writing Across the Curriculum/Writing in the Disciplines and Academic Literacies, researchers have produced compelling evidence of the disjunction between faculty members’ assertions that good writing is universal—i.e., the autonomous model of literacy—and faculty’s own tacit practice of discipline-specific conventions. In studies of race and language in education, scholars have identified disconnections between what teachers profess to value—e.g., students’ right to their own language—and how they actually grade. Contradictions are a natural part of any ideology, and these are commonly understood to demonstrate the resilience of the autonomous model. In this article, however, I introduce a set of theoretical tools …

Making Or Creating Orcs: How Thorinsmut's Free Orcs Au Writes Back To Tolkien, Robin A. Reid Dr.

Journal of Tolkien Research

"Making or Creating Orcs" is a close reading of an Alternate University fan fiction, "The Free Orcs AU," by Thorinsmut, which is based on the premise that Erebor was not attacked by Smaug and that some Orcs have fought and freed themselves from Sauron and have established a homeland in Gundabad. Working in the context of the scholarship on racist stereotypes relating to Tolkien's Orcs, I argue that Thorinsmut is able to "write back" to colonial narratives (Baker) through the AU premise and the associated deletions and transformations of Tolkien's characterizations, plot, setting, and themes in The Hobbit and The …

The Difficulty Of Translation Of Set Phrases And Idioms In English, Guzal Usmonova

Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

In this article we will discuss the difficulty of translation of set phrases and idioms in English and useful aspects of using them in oral speech. Generally speaking, the more difficult an expression is to understand and the less sense it makes in a given context, the more likely a translator will recognize it as an idiom.

Because they do not make sense if interpreted literally, the highlighted expressions in the following text are easy to recognize as idioms assuming one is not already familiar with them. Provided a translator has access to good reference works and monolingual dictionaries of …
