Abu Hayyan : Peranan Dan Kesannya Terhadap Nahu Arab., Abdul Hamid Sulaiman
Student Works (2010-2019)
This research is aimed to analyse the role of Abu Hayyan, a well-known scholar and expert of Arabic Grammar. He was a neutral mujtahid, capable of solving the intricacies of Arabic Grammar through the processes of tarjih, dissection, summarisation, rearrangement, composition, tafsir and ijtihad. Although he lived in an era of thousands of scholars and experts, his teachings was accepted by the community. Andalusia, the cradle of knowledge of the Islamic civilization at the time contributed immensely to Abu Hayyan’s development. His journeys throughout Northern Africa reinforced his knowledge gained in Andalusia, his wisdom attracted scholars and students alike at …

Re-Assessing Persuasive Writing: An Essay-Free Approach, Alyssa Randall
Re-Assessing Persuasive Writing: An Essay-Free Approach, Alyssa Randall
The Utah English Journal
As many of you may be aware, the ninth grade Utah persuasive writing test was changed to the eighth grade year. The state core requirements, however, did not reflect this change, and as many of you probably did, I began thinking of the challenge I faced to fit a persuasive writing unit into my already tight schedule. The more I thought about how to implement this new requirement, the more I thought about the typical persuasive essay that seemed mandated by the test and I cringed. While I believe the five-paragraph essay to be an important writing tool, I did …

Terrific Biographies For Teens: Do They Exist?, Amanda Mackay
Terrific Biographies For Teens: Do They Exist?, Amanda Mackay
The Utah English Journal
About the time I began my career as a junior high English teacher, I started reading a lot of biographies. I felt empowered as I read real stories of real people overcoming real obstacles. Recalling my first experience with this genre, I couldn’t help wondering why I didn’t read more of them when I was younger. I realized that I’d rarely seen my students choosing to read biographies either. As a teacher, I became curious about my students’ experiences with biographies. Had my students even read biographies? If so, what did they think of the genre? What would make them …

Helping Students Find That Comfortable Place Within Themselves, Denee Tyler
Helping Students Find That Comfortable Place Within Themselves, Denee Tyler
The Utah English Journal
Just like all English/Language Arts teachers, every August is a new beginning for me. I know I will see room after room of new faces, and my challenge will be to create a class atmosphere where each student will feel accepted, valued, and safe—all while encouraging my students to take risks and grow. It can be a very daunting task, but it is always rewarding. I’ve found that focusing on narrative writing—particularly memoir—during those first few weeks together is the key to building the classroom community I am looking for.
Revisiting Revision: Redefining The Writing Process, Kevin Lemley
Revisiting Revision: Redefining The Writing Process, Kevin Lemley
The Utah English Journal
If you were to ask one of your students to tell you where to fit revision into the writing process, they would probably tell you it was one of the last steps. “The writing process begins with pre-writing, then drafting, then revising, and last of all proofreading,” they might respond. As teachers, we generally teach some form of this writing process. The problem with this instruction is that students often perceive the writing process as an unflinching standard, a one-way road with a dead end—no U-turns allowed. Revision becomes nothing more than a stop sign, a landmark that must be …
Risks And Rewards: Lessons From Bike Riding And The Central Utah Writing Project, Sarita Rich
Risks And Rewards: Lessons From Bike Riding And The Central Utah Writing Project, Sarita Rich
The Utah English Journal
Fifteen years after learning to ride a bike, I began my career as an English teacher. I’ve since learned that teaching, like bike riding, involves learning through risk-taking. None of the risks I’ve taken as a teacher to implement new curriculum ideas or classroom management practices have been wasted opportunities. Each attempt at risk-taking has led me to discover what works and what doesn’t. The greatest benefits of risk-taking come only after teachers are willing to try something new.
Learning And Teaching With Graphic Novels, Rob Kirkham
Learning And Teaching With Graphic Novels, Rob Kirkham
The Utah English Journal
Comic books have faced harsh criticism from the general masses and the academic community since their early beginnings in the late 19th century. However, using visual media such as cartoons, comics, and graphic novels in the classroom provides educators with a number of valuable teaching aids for today’s students. Yet, sadly, these resources remain largely untapped.
The Nine-Month Hypothesis: An English Teacher's First Year, Haylee Frohlich
The Nine-Month Hypothesis: An English Teacher's First Year, Haylee Frohlich
The Utah English Journal
I never felt any affinity with scientists until I became a teacher, and in my opinion there is an uncanny resemblance between our two professions. As any junior high student can tell you, there are essential steps in the scientific process, namely: a problem or question which warrants a solution, a prediction or hypothesis of the solution, careful observation of the results, and a conclusion based upon those steps. In my first year of teaching I learned a real world application of the term “hypothesis.” I realized that teachers are the scientific method personified. We hypothesize. We experiment. We deduce. …
Finally Taking The Plunge: Literature Circles, Carli Gadd
Finally Taking The Plunge: Literature Circles, Carli Gadd
The Utah English Journal
Ever know something is a good idea, but still not do it? It’s like eating well. I know it pays off, but all I think of driving home are my three favorite people: Wendy, Arby, and McDonald. That’s what literature circles were for me, the carrot stick for lunch instead of the fast, easier option. But how could I make that carrot more appealing? My initial research convinced me to experiment with literature circles, and I was aware that literature circles are employed effectively at the elementary level, but I was concerned how teenagers would receive the practice. I resolved …
Problem Parents In Young Adult Literature: Really A Problem?, Sierra Robinson
Problem Parents In Young Adult Literature: Really A Problem?, Sierra Robinson
The Utah English Journal
The parental role in adolescent literature has been examined recently in ways that some people are calling “The Parent Problem in Adolescent Literature,” suggesting these trends do not accurately depict the average parent-teenager relationship. Yet some readers and scholars passionately defend their rights to read about dysfunctional family situations as well. Ultimately, I argue the dysfunctional, or “bad” parent has a place in adolescent literature and can be used, by teachers especially, as a positive convention that empowers young readers to rise above circumstance in constructive ways.

The researcher focused on graphic novels and their use in the classroom, different ways graphic novels can motivate reluctant readers to become interested in reading, the concept of …

Multi-Modal Reading For Low Level Readers, Jamie O'Neal
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The value of this research hinges on the idea that exchanging illustrations for descriptive text can provide appropriate schemas for students with reading difficulties and thereby improve their comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. The research in this dissertation is based on theories and earlier research in the fields of psychology, education, reading, and narratology. A review of these fields offers a variety of perspectives on the processes involved in reading and comprehension. These processes range from the physical systems involved in reading (e.g., early childhood development, eye movement) to the psychological systems, which include cognitive load theory as well as image …
At Home With American Literature, Shauna Robertson
At Home With American Literature, Shauna Robertson
The Utah English Journal
In 1822, the American actor, poet, and playwright John Howard Payne wrote a song called “Home! Sweet Home!” It became an instant hit, and its refrain, “[b]e it ever so humble, there's no place like home,” has become etched in our cultural memory. The author L. Frank Baum echoed this sentiment with a twist at the end of his novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Most people are familiar with Dorothy’s chant as she clicks the heels of her ruby slippers together in the 1939 film, but Baum’s literary version is even more powerful. "No matter how dreary and gray …
Questions Of Transfer: Writers' Perspective On Familiar/Unfamiliar Writing Tasks In A Capstone Writing Course, Heather G. Lettner-Rust
Questions Of Transfer: Writers' Perspective On Familiar/Unfamiliar Writing Tasks In A Capstone Writing Course, Heather G. Lettner-Rust
English Theses & Dissertations
Understanding what students bring from one writing context to another may the central concern for teachers of writing from elementary school to adult learning. Research from the field of composition studies offers knowledge about writing as process(es) (Emig, 1971; Shaughnessy, 1979; Russell, 1999), as socially constructed performances (Flower & Hayes, 1980; Bartholomae, 1985; Bloom, 1985), and as part of a larger activity system (Russell, 1997). This dissertation ties together theories of writing as an activity in a broader system of tools and outcomes and current research on transfer in writing in order to illustrate writers' perspectives on particular writing tasks. …

High Level Arabic Textbook is a primary learning resource in learning Arabic atthe upper secondary level in Islamic religious schools. One of the factors related to the students’ lack of mastery in Arabic is due to the ineffectiveness of the textbook. In evaluating textbook, one of the criteria is the readability factor, namely the level of difficulty and suitability of the textbook for the target group. Since research on the readability of Arabic materials in Malaysia is limited, this study aims to fill that gap. This research aims to (1) identify the readability of school secondary level textbook in the …
