However, media news framing of presidential elections affects and shapes the electorate’s perceived attitudes toward elections. This study employed a comparative experimental design to test the hypotheses by varying the valence and types of frames (i.e., positives vs. negative frames × thematic vs. episodic frames) to evaluate how these news frames affected the perceived attitudes of Ghanaian electorates towards the 2020 presidential election in Ghana. Stratified sampling approach was used to enroll 2,702 participants for this study from nine regions. The findings showed that the framing effects were few, weak, and not robust among the electorates in the nine regions. The findings further indicated that the perceived attitudes of electorates toward the elections were not consistent. The perceived attitudes towards the election were influenced by a single news frame and the effects of the news frames were not determined by a single news frame. Finally, the perceived attitudes of Ghanaian electorates toward the 2020 elections were found not to be determined by a particular news frame.","PeriodicalId":299564,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business, Communication & Technology","volume":"76 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131457645","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}

Yet, it seems that remarkable attention has not been paid to ‎the sensory and emotional loads of learning texts as the primary source of ‎learning. This study attempts to present an objective way of analyzing ‎English learning texts from both emotional and sensory perspectives to ‎provide material developers to measure the emotional and sensory loads of ‎the texts. For this purpose, a new kind of software was developed using ‎two datasets; Sensicon and EmoLex. Then as an example, an English ‎course book series, Interchange (5th ed.), was analyzed by this software to ‎determine any probable pattern(s) concerning sensory and emotional loads. ‎The results showed that the dominant sense in these books is hearing at all ‎levels of language proficiency. In the emotion analysis part, the eight basic ‎emotions were categorized as positive and negative emotions, and the ‎results showed a higher frequency of positive emotions. It was also found ‎that the frequency of negative emotions increases at higher levels, resulting ‎in more authenticity.‎","PeriodicalId":299564,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business, Communication & Technology","volume":"2018 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114905359","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}

The study was done among 50 EFL learners to examine the effect of music-based instruction on their vocabulary retention and attitudes. They were divided into experimental and control groups. First, a pre-test was conducted to fulfill the homogeneity assumption. Then, the photo dictionary part of the “English for Schools Prospect 1” book was set to music and the experimental group underwent music-based practices. While the control group received audio-visual instruction. Immediately after the instructions, a 20-item test was given to the groups. Subsequently, a 9-item attitude scale was distributed among the teacher, observer, and groups. After two weeks, a long-term memory test was conducted between the two groups. Results presented that the experimental group significantly outscored in the short- and long-term memory tests compared with the control group. Moreover, results from the attitude scale indicated that they welcomed music-based instruction allowing more profound vocabulary learning and communication ability than the audio-visual practices.","PeriodicalId":299564,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business, Communication & Technology","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129024014","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 analyzed emo-sensory text on ‎Persian literature, basic sciences, and theology books of mentally-‎challenged fourth-graders in terms of senses and emotions. These ‎books were compared to those utilized for normal fourth graders. ‎The emo-sensory text analysis revealed no significant differences ‎between these two sets of books regarding applying emo-sensory ‎words. Material developers merely paid attention to the visual sense, ‎while mentally-challenged and normal children are considerably ‎different. Various senses have to be integrated into the textbooks to ‎enhance learning and communicative skills, which seems to have ‎been overlooked. As a result, authors should include more emo-‎sensory stimuli to boost information processing and benefit the ‎mentally challenged.","PeriodicalId":299564,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business, Communication & Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127490085","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}

In this paper, ‎the key variables in determining the demand for professional ‎business courses were assessed through interviews with senior ‎managers of professional bodies and the application of an electronic ‎scale. Furthermore, based on the marketing theory of segmentation ‎analysis, the key segments were tested using both summary statistics ‎and chi-square tests.
