In developing educational system, the traditional English teaching model has serious obstacles in developing the communication skills of pupils. The present paper analyses the current situation of English learning in vocational colleges for exploring the intent and application of the Blended English learning approach, to combine traditional classroom learning with online teaching, and to improve the quality of English learning in vocational colleges effectively. The way individuals get information has dramatically changed with the advent of the information era. It also has the wave of higher education information, with the continuously innovative methods of teaching and teaching content. Recently, researchers are concerned about the integration of information technology organically into education system for supporting learning experiences and for encouraging the refinement of new abilities. It is the need of the day to be focused on the education technology. The undertaken study aims at elaborating the significance of Blended teaching English in the present era. There are currently only a few courses using the blended teaching approach. With the continual update of teaching concepts and the latest technology, the focus of forthcoming research is expected to be on the individual development of the blended teaching mode.","PeriodicalId":16272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47265499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims at investigating the grammatical equivalence of the translation of an Indonesian novel “Laskar Pelangi” by Andrea Hirata into English through Google Translate, from which the data collected. The method was qualitative with content analysis that covered five grammatical categories of number, gender, person, tense and aspect, and voice. The findings indicated the following points; Since Indonesian language has no category of number, most of nouns are translated as singular nouns in English. The third singular persons in Indonesian language, ‘dia’ and ‘-nya” show no sex, the translation depends on the context, otherwise it is translated as a male person. Indonesian words “kami” and “kita” are translated with “we/us”, and the translation indicates no dimensions of familiarity and formality for the first and second singular persons “saya, aku” translated by the word “I/me”, and “kau, kamu, anda” by “you.” Indonesian language has no tense and aspect, where the verbs do not conjugate to express temporal or aspectual distinctions. It has the equivalence when the text source is written with time. When the source text is passive, the English verbs are written in a passive voice. The translation distortion is related to semantics and grammar. As the conclusion, the grammatical equivalence of the translation of the novel is low.","PeriodicalId":16272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44733052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Traces of Stefan Zweig Reception in Albanian","authors":"Naser Mrasori, Naim Kryeziu","doi":"10.52462/jlls.157","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52462/jlls.157","url":null,"abstract":"The main purpose of this study article is to examine and to evaluate Stefan Zweig’s work in Albanian, as well as the perception of Albanian’s readers. This article attempt to explain the popularity of S. Zweig from 1939, when his first short story was translated in Albanian. While before the sixties the reception of Zweig’s works in Albanian language was modest, later, in the sixties of the last century, the reception of his works, especially short stories, was more intensive. Both Albanian critics and readers were more interested first for his short stories and then for his biographies, portraits, novels and dramas. The recent reception of Zweig’s works in Albanian has been preceded and prepared by many introductions, essays, and articles. His works began to influence even the Albanian writers, especially the works of Sterjo Spase. Hence, we can trace and find certain parallels, similarities, influences and impacts of Zweig’s works in Spase’s works. When Zweig was translated for the first time in Albanian the opinions of both readers, simple reader and of special reader, was qualitative and uncensored. The works of Zweig were read by the readers of such a social class, which were educated in the west. In this context, Zweig was considered as “a hunter of souls” and had many readers in Albania. During the period of 1937-1944, Zweig was not under the censorship. After 1962 the first collection of Zweig’s short stories translated by Mahmut Bobrati and Klio Evangjeli was published. After a couple of years, in 1988, second edition of collected short stories of Zweig, was published translated by Mahmut Bobrati, Robert Schwartz, Enver Fico and Klio Evangjeli. In this year, began the marathon of translations of Zweig’s works in Albania, whereas sometimes there were cases that one work was translated by two different translators.","PeriodicalId":16272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47932983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were taken from restaurant websites with ‘Thai SELECT Premium’ certifications in the UK. 673 menu items were obtained and analyzed in five categories (nationalism, characteristics, sensory cues, branding, organic and healthy concerns). Sensory cues category was mostly used (68.95%) followed by characteristics (41.9%) and nationalism 17.53%). Six Thai dishes on CNN Travel World’s 50 Best Foods list in 2011 were investigated on appealing perception of menu descriptions via online questionnaire. Of the six dishes, there were 51 menu descriptions, and 26 descriptions were rated as ‘much appealing’. Nationalism (20/26) was mostly found followed by sensory cues (16/26). Menu data were also analyzed by AntConc to extract the high frequency keywords and collocation patterns. Mostly found noun keywords were seven (sauce, chicken, curry, chilli, rice, prawns, and beef) and mostly found adjective keywords were four (sweet, green, red, and spicy). The most frequent collocation patterns were ‘noun + noun’ and ‘adjective + noun’. Respondents requested short and precise menu descriptions, information of food ingredients to help in decision making, and local Thai food names either in Thai words or English transliteration to create exotic experience and to imply the originality.","PeriodicalId":16272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46482464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students' interests in learning were measured based on two aspects: emotionaland cognitive aspects. A survey approach was used in this study, involving a total of 120 final year students (seventh semester) who have completed all the eight Geography core subjects offered in Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). The sample was selected using a simple random sampling method. A set of questionnaires with 40 items was distributed to the respondents. The findings from the descriptive analysis indicated that the overall students' interests in learning Geography subjects in UPSI was at a high level (M=4.19, SD=0.83). Additionally, the analysis also discovered that the implementation of the PdPc methods in the Geography subjects using the traditional learning method was moderate (M=2.72, SD=1.34), while the game-based learning method was at a high level (M=4.27, SD=0.75), the flipped-based learning method was at a high level (M=4.32, SD=0.78), and the challenge-based learning method was also at a high level (M=4.36, SD=0.71). The Pearson correlation analysis revealed that students’ emotional interests and cognitive interests had a relationship with all the learning methods. The multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the game-based learning method was the method that had the most influence on students' interests in learning the Geography subjects with a percentage contribution value of 64.5 percent. Therefore, PdPc methods that are creative and go beyond traditional learning need to be implemented by lecturers to attract interest in learning Geography and further achieve student development.","PeriodicalId":16272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42897862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
