‘I Don’T Speak Singlish’ – Linguistic Chutzpah And Denial In The Elt Classroom, Luke Lu

International Journal for Research in Education

In Singapore, dominant narratives of Singlish as ‘bad English’ and an impediment to acquiring the Standard co-exist with discourses about Singlish as a marker of Singaporean identity. One consequence of such competing discourses has been characterised as a polarity between linguistic anxiety about Singaporeans’ proficiency in Standard English on the one hand, and rationalised confidence in using both registers appropriately on the other [that Wee (2014) terms ‘linguistic chutzpah’]. This paper examines a third phenomenon that is neither exclusively anxiety nor chutzpah in a specific site where metapragmatic evaluations of Englishes abound – the ELT classroom. Drawing on data from …

Unequal Englishes In A Chinese College English Textbook: A Critical Discourse Analysis, Jing He, Adcharawan Buripakdi

International Journal for Research in Education

The phenomenon of Unequal Englishes pervades Chinese contexts; however, more can be done to find out how it is embedded in Chinese college English textbooks. A study of Chinese college English listening and speaking textbooks shows that there are only few surface manifestations of Unequal Englishes in these textbooks which might be explained by the Chinese government’s deliberate ideological control of English learning, thus confirming profound political influences on the production of English textbooks in China to a certain degree. This study, however, conducts a Critical Discourse Analysis which surfaces manifestations of Unequal Englishes in a specific lesson of a …

Confronting The Political Economy Of Englishes In The Classroom, Katy Highet

International Journal for Research in Education

Despite celebratory discourses of Global English(es), scholars adopting political economic approaches have demonstrated the continued unequal distribution and valuation of English(es), and have shifted the focus to questions of unequal speakers in unequal conditions (Tupas, 2020). Drawing on ethnographic data from an English-teaching NGO for ‘disadvantaged’ young adults in Delhi, this paper seeks to contribute to political economic scholarship of English Language Teaching and Learning in two ways. In a first instance, I trace the shaping effects of class, caste and coloniality on how marginalised students orient themselves to notions of correctness and discursively reject fluid language practices. In a …

Lived Experiences Of Unequal Englishes Of Filipino Domestic Workers In Hong Kong, Nicanor L. Guinto

International Journal for Research in Education

In this paper, I investigate the lived experiences with English of Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong from roughly 30 hours of recorded ethnographic interviews and fieldwork with 28 key participants talking about language in relation to their living and working experiences. Employing linguistic ethnographic approaches to analysis, I describe recurring accounts reflecting the tension between doing being an English-proficient and an English-deficient other: a tension that emanates from enabling and constraining sociolinguistic conditions in the workplace and the host society, and informed by participants’ experiences and education from their home country. I demonstrate how participants seem to discursively invoke …

Effect Of The Natural Pozzolanic Basalt On High Strength Concrete, Mohamed Sayed Mohamed Moawad, Abd El-Rahman Ragab, Shimaa Younis

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Concrete is important construction material in civil applications. Portland Cement (PC) is considered the essential component material to produce the concrete, especially in high-strength concrete. Around ranging from 5-7% of CO2 was generated during PC production. Consequently, the concrete and PC production are change in the environment. So; it has become very important for the construction industry to focus on minimizing environmental pollution, energy consumption reduction. Several pozzolanic cementitious materials can be added as a fractional replacement of cement in concrete to reduce PC impact on environmental pollution. Pozzolanic materials include PC as one of its main components as well …

Communities At Risk For Mpox And Stigmatizing Policies: A Randomized Survey, Republic Of Korea, 2022, Ashley Fox, Yongjin Choi

Public Administration and Policy Faculty Scholarship

Objectives. To estimate the impact of communicating to the public that men who have sex with men (MSM) are most at risk for mpox on potential stigmatization and risk perception.

Methods. We conducted a survey experiment randomizing exposure to messages about mpox among a sample of the South Korean public (n51500) in July 2022. We randomized respondents to receive an informational message about mpox that was (1) a neutral informational message about mpox that did not highlight its origins or risk groups (control group), (2) a message explaining that the virus originated in Africa, or (3) a message emphasizing that …

Discussion Of The Risks And Benefits Of Intensive Blood Pressure Control In The Elderly, Kennedy Emerson, Asa Di Carlo, Elizabeth Upton, Justin Gambini

Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc)

PURPOSE:

The primary purpose of this paper is to review the current available evidence on benefits and risks of intensive blood pressure control (< 120 mmHg systolic) in the greater than 75-year-old population. The secondary purpose will focus on discussion of general recommendations for blood pressure treatment in non-diabetics in this population.

METHOD:

A PubMed and NEJM literature search was directed towards search terms: hypertension, intensive, standard, older, and elderly, as well as search terms surrounding risk: adverse event, fall, fracture, syncope, AKI, and mortality. Fourteen articles are used for the basis of this paper, six of which are large scale RCTs.

RESULTS:

Though there has been a general lack of consensus on appropriate hypertensive management in the elderly, data has increasingly shown that lower blood pressure goals …

Enhanced Performance Of Gene Expression Predictive Models With Protein-Mediated Spatial Chromatin Interactions., Mateusz Chiliński, Jakub Lipiński, Abhishek Agarwal, Yijun Ruan, Dariusz Plewczynski

Faculty Research 2023

There have been multiple attempts to predict the expression of the genes based on the sequence, epigenetics, and various other factors. To improve those predictions, we have decided to investigate adding protein-specific 3D interactions that play a significant role in the condensation of the chromatin structure in the cell nucleus. To achieve this, we have used the architecture of one of the state-of-the-art algorithms, ExPecto, and investigated the changes in the model metrics upon adding the spatially relevant data. We have used ChIA-PET interactions that are mediated by cohesin (24 cell lines), CTCF (4 cell lines), and RNAPOL2 (4 cell …

Bifurcation From Infinity With Oscillatory Nonlinearity For Neumann Problems, M. Chhetri, Nsoki Mavinga, R. Pardo

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Works

We consider a sublinear perturbation of an elliptic eigenvalue problem with Neumann boundary condition. We give sufficient conditions on the nonlinear perturbation which guarantee that the unbounded continuum, bifurcating from infinity at the first eigenvalue, contains an unbounded sequence of turning points as well as an unbounded sequence of resonant solutions. We prove our result by using bifurcation theory combined with a careful analysis of the oscillatory behavior of the continuum near the bifurcation point.

Machiavelli, The “Prince” Of Popular Government Or Radical Aristocrat?, Brian Dresnin

Politics Summer Fellows

Machiavelli's book, The Discourses, argues for republican government through analyzing Roman historian Titus Livy's History of Rome. In this essay, I argue that contrary to the influential view of scholars, such as John McCormick, that The Discourses argues in favor of a popular republic, the decemvirate episode shows that Machiavelli favors an aristocratic republic, a view expressed by just a few scholars, including Harvey Mansfield. Like many other readers of Machiavelli, I suppose that Machiavelli’s thought sheds light on contemporary issues, such as populism and class conflict in politics. But understanding Machiavelli as an aristocratic republican changes our …

Up The Bayou Without A Paddle: A Historical Case Study Of Black Catholic Education In New Orleans Post-Katrina, Anisha Morrell

Dissertations

By concentrating on one of the tenets of Critical Race Theory (Harper et al., 2009), counter-narrative, this study focused on: (1) the history of New Orleans prior to the Louisiana Purchase; (2) the inception, history, and advancements of Black Catholic education prior to Brown v. Board of Education; and (3) controversies in Black Catholic education post-Katrina.

By delving into the history of New Orleans, I will assert that The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans struggled with whiteness as property and an ardent desire to present a narrative embodied by interest convergence in historically-Black Catholic secondary schools since each school’s …
