Test Takers’ Perceptions Of Design And Implementation Of An Online Language Testing System At A Thai University During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Kornwipa Poonpon

PASAA

The COVID-19 pandemic caused challenges in language testing for many universities and institutions. The present study aimed to address some challenges and restrictions by designing and implementing an online testing system for a high-stakes proficiency test at a Thai university during the COVID-19 pandemic and exploring test takers’ perceptions of the design and its implementation. The online language testing system, i.e., test interface, test delivery mode, and proctoring system, were designed and implemented. The online test interface was developed using Fulcher’s (2003) computer-based language test development framework. The design and implementation of the synchronous at-home test delivery mode and the …

Applying Lexical Profiling To Construct Technical Word Lists For Thai Tourist Guides, Piyanuch Laosrirattanachai [email protected], Piyapong Laosrirattanachai Jul 2021

Applying Lexical Profiling To Construct Technical Word Lists For Thai Tourist Guides, Piyanuch Laosrirattanachai [email protected], Piyapong Laosrirattanachai

PASAA

When learning high- and mid-frequency words, approximately 5,000 words might be inadequate for learners to survive in a career as a tourist guide. This paper aims to construct technical word lists for Thai tourist guides to serve as supplementary learning materials. Different word lists need different criteria for their construction. Three main methods are used to construct word lists: lexical profiling, eliminating off-list words, and expert verification. The self-compiled corpus comprising 653,196 tokens gathered from www.tourismthailand.org is used to construct six sub word lists including the technical word list for Thai tourist guides containing 391 words and the technical word …

The purpose of this article is to analyze the dialogicality that emerged between students during the classroom activities and discuss students’ reflections towards the classroom dialogic tasks. Students’ conversations were recorded during the tasks that were designed to foster dialogicality. Excerpts of conversations were analyzed and revealed notable features of their dialogic …

Bottom-Up Enactments Of Overseas Professional Learning And Development By Thai University English Teachers, Indika Liyanage, Phatchara Phantharakphong, Piyada Sudathip, Ong-Art Namwong Jul 2021

Bottom-Up Enactments Of Overseas Professional Learning And Development By Thai University English Teachers, Indika Liyanage, Phatchara Phantharakphong, Piyada Sudathip, Ong-Art Namwong

PASAA

English language education policy is deployed strategically as an instrument to address wider national policy objectives in most emerging nations. In universities, policy enactment at institutional and classroom levels hinges on the development of a qualified and skilled English teaching workforce. The continued dominance of linear discourses of the relation of learning and practice and reliance on individual teacher agency to achieve policy objectives, however, risk policy failure. This paper reports the ‘bottom-up’ enactments of teacher professional learning and development (PLD) policy using reflections of three Thai university English teachers who individually completed PLD in overseas English-dominant settings. We found …

Muffintops, Fat Rolls, And Self Love: Using Fat Young Adult Texts To Promote Body Positivity, Laura M. Davis Jul 2021

Muffintops, Fat Rolls, And Self Love: Using Fat Young Adult Texts To Promote Body Positivity, Laura M. Davis

Language Arts Journal of Michigan

With the findings of Wood-Barcalow, Tylka, and Augustus-Horwath (2009) as a framework, this essay offers an analysis of two texts portraying fat protagonists: The Summer of Jordi Perez and the Best Burger in L.A. by Amy Spalding and To Be Honest by Maggie Ann Martin. I examine the authors’ depictions of fat characters to determine if the characters align with Wood-Barcalow, Tylka, and Augustus-Horwath’s (2009) definition of body positivity. Using critical content analysis (Short, 2017), I consider how relationships, environment, and self-concept support and work against body positive attitudes. This essay also includes suggestions for how educators can use these …

Baseball, With A Southern Accent: The Urban Game In The Post-Reconstruction South, Paul Dunder Jul 2021

Baseball, With A Southern Accent: The Urban Game In The Post-Reconstruction South, Paul Dunder

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Numerous scholars and historians have illuminated the importance of baseball within American society from the end of Reconstruction to the Great Depression. Yet their gaze has often been turned to the northern professional game. Very little has been written about how the game played a role in the South in the aftermath of the Civil War. This study considers how baseball in the South helped to reflect and underscore some of the tensions within a society marked by racial, class, and gendered conflicts. Baseball played an instrumental role in shaping aspects of Southern society and community identity in new urban …

The Current Language Crisis In Siberia, Emma L. Vandehey Jul 2021

The Current Language Crisis In Siberia, Emma L. Vandehey

University Honors Theses

In the early years of the Soviet Union, state leaders were hesitant to create laws that would establish a national language. The USSR prided itself on multiculturalism and its ability to unify people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. As the Soviet Union became more established, ideations shifted from unity to uniformity. Indigenous languages from all over the country and various states were phased out, and the Russian language was implemented for children starting in primary school. Policies regarding heritage languages in primary and secondary schools stayed in place after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now indigenous peoples living …

Witches As Queer(Ed) Comrades: How Patriarchy, Sexism And Religious Fanaticism Fueled The Early Modern European Witch Hunts, Iris S. De Lis Jul 2021

Witches As Queer(Ed) Comrades: How Patriarchy, Sexism And Religious Fanaticism Fueled The Early Modern European Witch Hunts, Iris S. De Lis

University Honors Theses

Patriarchy, sexism, and religious fanaticism each played a complementary and compounding role in creating the conditions for the brutal campaign of violent terror, torture, and mass murder that we now refer to as the early modern European witch hunts. In this paper I explore, by way of a cross-discipline literature review through a feminist and queer theoretical lens, the ways in which those who were accused of being witches in early modern Europe were rendered queer subjects by dominant organized religion, the state and society--regardless of whether they ever actually identified as witches or practiced witchcraft. The term queer subject …

Understanding The Taboo Of Incest In The American South Through Analysis Of Southern Gothic Literature, Grace Young Jul 2021

Understanding The Taboo Of Incest In The American South Through Analysis Of Southern Gothic Literature, Grace Young

University Honors Theses

In this paper, I am exploring the topic of incest through the lens of the Southern Gothic literature genre. I am interested in why the American South has the stereotype of having more prevalence of individuals who engage in incest in mountain communities versus other parts of the communities in America. I explore the intersectionality of race, geographic isolation, religion, and the taboo of incest in a small community. I use the texts of William Faulkner, Cormac McCarthy, and Breece D'J Pancake to do in-depth analysis of Southern Gothic themes such as taboo, family secrets, Christianity, and the grotesque. By …

All Changelings Have Autism: How To Make A Better Book For Autistic Children, Nadia L. Hitchcock Jul 2021

All Changelings Have Autism: How To Make A Better Book For Autistic Children, Nadia L. Hitchcock

University Honors Theses

How should a content creator, whether they work in film, literature, or sequential art, approach portrayals of Autistic characters? More specifically, how should these altruistic ideas be translated into a better storybook for Autistic children? This is the challenge that I have addressed with my Graphic Design thesis, by writing and illustrating my own children's picture book. The story itself is a spiritual successor to Old World changeling folktales and All Cats Have Asperger's Syndrome (Kathy Hoopman 2006). Though many Autistic people loved Hoopman's book as children, its visual shortcomings and linguistic oversights have marred its intended inclusive, positive message. …

No Easy Way Out: A Memoir Of Interruption, Cameron S. Steele Jul 2021

No Easy Way Out: A Memoir Of Interruption, Cameron S. Steele

Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

No Easy Way Out: A Memoir of Interruption is a collection of personal essays examining themes of race, the body, violence and desire as it seeks to examine and interrupt inherited, normative understandings of work, art, beauty, love, and belonging. An illness narrative that follows my experiences as a girl born into a family of white Southern wealth, as a young crime reporter in the Deep South, and as a mother, scholar, and writer in the Midwest, No Easy Way Out raises questions about the entanglement of privilege, illness, and access to care. The book considers the stories I covered …

“Is There No Balm In Gilead?”: Health, Illness, Death, And Dying In The Hebrew Bible And Today, Joel Kaminsky Jul 2021

“Is There No Balm In Gilead?”: Health, Illness, Death, And Dying In The Hebrew Bible And Today, Joel Kaminsky

Religion: Faculty Publications

This essay argues that the Hebrew Bible contains conceptual resources that can contribute to and enrich the ongoing discussions surrounding healthcare in the U.S. and in other modern Western societies. These biblical ideas may help us reframe our understandings of sickness and health, something urgently needed if we wish individuals and their families to have less medically invasive and less alienating experiences of illness, most especially during end of life care.

Chaplain Leadership: The Absence Of Spiritual Leadership At Winston -Salem State University For Spiritual Advocacy, Leroy H. Izzard Iii Jul 2021

Chaplain Leadership: The Absence Of Spiritual Leadership At Winston -Salem State University For Spiritual Advocacy, Leroy H. Izzard Iii

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Students living in an academic environment need a consistent spiritual presence to enhance the overall academic experience. Spiritual advice should be available in times of crisis and a chaplain could be the spiritual leader to fill that void. . Chaplain leadership should parallel secular academy professionals and religious professionals to fortify spiritual and community awareness on the campus of Winston Salem State University. On a broader scale, the absence of spiritual leadership is a vital component of this problem. Chaplain leaders must answer the call outside the boundaries of religious comfort zones and address the absence of spiritual leadership crippling …

Using And Citing Supportive Material In An Essay, Thea Callender Jul 2021

Using And Citing Supportive Material In An Essay, Thea Callender

Open Educational Resources

Students sometimes have trouble using primary material to support the point they are making in an essay. Citation is sometimes forgotten. I find that modeling this experience for them and having them share their attempts with me and each other, leads to competence and confidence. I used VoiceThread to present this lesson, but it can easily be adapted to a discussion board.
