Between Pedagogical Content Knowledge And Confidence: A Case Study Of Pronunciation Training And Teacher Preparation, Lena Barrantes-Elizondo, Joshua Gordon

Faculty Publications

While many teachers do not feel confident teaching pronunciation because of limited preparation in different areas, research has demonstrated positive effects of training in pronunciation pedagogy, as teachers who receive such training develop cognitions (i.e., knowledge, beliefs, thoughts, actions) that align with current tenets of pronunciation pedagogy. Drawing on this assertion, this paper reports the results of a qualitative case study with five pre-service teaching-English-to-speakers-of-other-languages (TESOL) teachers enrolled in a pedagogical pronunciation course as part of their teacher training program. The study’s main purpose was to understand the role of training in developing content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge …

Teacher Candidates’ Perspectives On The Integration Of Digital Tools In Teacher Training Programs: A Case Study Of Using Seesaw, Gui Ying Annie Yang-Heim, Xi Lin

Faculty Publications - College of Education

Digital tools are crucial in modern education for improving teaching practices and student engagement. While technology enhances learning, many teacher candidates still struggle to effectively integrate it into their teaching (Habibi et al., 2023). For instance, Seesaw is a widely used digital platform in K-12 classrooms but seldom explored in higher education. This study explores teacher candidates' views on integrating Seesaw into their learning processes, revealing benefits and challenges. The study is guided by Puentedura's (2010, 2014) SAMR model as a framework to evaluate and discuss the findings of integrating Seesaw in a literacy methods course. The study's insights aim …

Why The Council Of Nicaea Still Matters For Asian Trinitarian Ontology, Patrick Vance S. Nogoy

Landas

Does the Council of Nicaea still matter for developing Asian trinitarian ontologies? Yes. This paper examines the development of a faith-based ontology of a triune God, the centerpiece of the Nicene Creed. It advances the claim that the Nicene Trinitarian ontology is rooted in faith revelation that frames a novel construal of consubstantial (homoousios). From this, one can propose the concept of relation as a co-principle in being. Giulio Maspero calls this the objective genitive sense of the term trinitarian ontology: Christian thinkers made innovations on the dominant metaphysics of their time by discerning God’s being according to revelation. Part …

How Agency From Precollege Experiences Empowers Black Student-Athletes To Succeed And Find Belonging At Pwis: A Phenomenological Study, Deborah V. Hogan

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

In the ever-changing college football landscape, Division I (DI) student-athletes seek to maximize their athletic and financial potential while navigating the academic and social challenges of college life. For Black student-athletes (BSAs) at predominantly White institutions (PWIs), the campus racial climate shapes their college experience and sense of belonging. The current phenomenological study explores how DI Black football student-athletes (BFSAs) use agency from precollege experiences to navigate racial climates and find belonging at PWIs. Using Critical Race Theory (CRT) and sense of belonging frameworks, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 former BFSAs from DI PWIs. The study revealed three main …

Rhetorical Figures In Image: A Semiotic And Argument Approach, Youness Laghouibi

Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث

Based on the principle that every image carries a narrative; we relied in this study on the narrative semiotics to decipher its meanings. This led us through the extended arguments to uncover a variety of rhetorical figures such as comparison, metaphors, meronymy, and metonymy – the common figures of speech used in linguistic discourse to influence the addressee and direct them towards the intended destination.

On Translating Adelina Gurrea’S “La Doncella Que Vivió Tres Vidas”, Jonathan Chua, Ma. Luisa Young

Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia

This is an account of the translation process that went into the English translation of the story “La doncella que vivió tres vidas” (1943) by Adelina Gurrea, a writer of Spanish and Filipino descent. Gurrea’s Cuentos de Juana, from which the story is taken, occupies a liminal space in the literary history of the Philippines, as it was published in Spain for a Spanish-reading audience, yet it is borne of her childhood in Negros, in the Philippines. The story illustrates Maria Tymoczko’s observation that postcolonial writing and interlingual translation are similar. Both are acts of representing the “foreign,” a linguistic …

In The News!: “Teatro Filipino,” “Artista Filipina,” “Piano Filipino”: Semantic Birthings Of A Nascent Identity In Music, Ma. Patricia Brillantes Silvestre

Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia

The final decade of the nineteenth century saw the emergence of a visible, palpable self-consciousness with the expansion of the formerly denigrating nomenclature ‘Filipino’ (from its original criollo designation) to encompass the mestizo and indio. This resulted from a uniquely potent brew of socio-political and economic factors that boiled over in this period to trigger the first stirrings of nationalism. The newspaper as, in the words of Roland Barthes, “social space” h ad chronicled t he shift in the term’s usage, as explored in the journalism on music—from a mere geographic denotation of the colonized native from las islas Filipinas …

Is Silence A Sustainable Act Of Self-Preservation For Asian Americans?, Laurie Nilo

MAGIS: Student Development Journal

This paper is a combination of self-reflection and academic writing. It begins with a description of the event that inspired this paper. This event is an example of the author's Asian American identity development journey. In this paper, the author explores the effects of silence on the lifestyle that Asian American college students can create for themselves after college and what Student Affairs professionals can do to best support these students. To do this, she draws on interviews with student affairs professionals, Yosso's (2205) theory on community cultural wealth, and Strayhorn's (2019) theory on Sense of Belonging.

Beyond Gaining And Losing: A Thematic Approach To The Translation Of Washington Square, Jin Li

Living in Languages

In putting a literary work into another language, the translator functions as a literary critic, whose task requires both language competence and critical perception. As Venuti writes, “A translation does not communicate the source text itself but the translator’s interpretation of it”. The translation, therefore, can be considered as another form of literary criticism, inspiring the reader to enrich the repertoire of the source text. A comparative reading of the source text against the translation engages the reader in processing three-fold interpretations, leading to a multifaceted communication among the source text, the translator and the reader. The reading of the …

For The Love Of Subtitling: Analysing The Challenges In Audio-Visual Translations Of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, Haritima Sharma

Living in Languages

Any form of audio-visual media utilises specific stylistic elements in order to represent the reality within which the media form is situated. These representations occur through the language and iconography of the media form, which works on stereotypical features that the audience can easily identify. Forming a pivotal part of the media, these representations must be rendered in the translations for a linguistically and culturally diverse audience. Audio-Visual Translation (AVT) has been used since the 1930s to make media accessible. Of the various modalities, subtitling has emerged as the most widespread mode of AVT due to time and cost benefits. …

Untangling Memories Of Violence: The Khipu In El Rincón De Los Muertos (Alfredo Pita), Jonathan J. Oliveri

Living in Languages

This research proposes a structural reading of El rincón de los muertos to decode and trace echoes to the khipu which are embedded throughout the novel. Contrary to a graphic writing system, the Incan empire’s khipu (khipu) was a mnemotechnic system—a three-dimensional communicative device, an archive of memory that recorded information using different colored strings, and a system of knots. Our concept of mnemonics is different than that of the indigenous communities who relied on oral tradition and specifically for khipu a khipukamayuq (reader of khipu), in a narrative and discursive manner, to reconstruct the message the khipu contained. …

Odesa Will Never Be A 'Russian' City Again, Ian R. Singleton

Living in Languages

Russophone poet Galina Itskovich wrote the statement serving as the title of this text about the identity of her native Odesa, Ukraine in 2023, more than a year and a half after the full-scale invasion by Russia. I propose an examination of the relationship of contemporary Odesan writers to the Russian language. Sources for this examination include the work of writers in or from Odesa such as Galina Itskovich, Maria Galina, Oleg Fesenko, and Igor Bozhko. To discuss what this situation means for translation, such as is demanded by Ukraine’s 2019 law on the status of the Ukrainian language, I …

"Our Blood Is Not Cheap": A Photovoice Project On Being Arab In A Racialized United States, Leticia Villarreal Sosa, Suhad Tabahi, Itedal Shalabi

School of Social Work Faculty Publications

The Arab American community has faced a history of racialization dating back to the late 19th century. The events of 9/11 and the heightened rhetoric of hate during the Trump presidency encouraged anti-Muslim sentiment and increased racial profiling and harassment. This community-based participatory research (CBPR) project uses Photovoice as a methodology to better understand the lived experiences and narratives of Arab Americans in the post-Trump1 era and as a tool for advocacy. The findings from the photo sharing sessions underscore the continued challenge of identity and representation, (in)visibility, and pushing back against anti-Arab/Muslim racism. The findings also highlight religion as …
