Recognizing freshmen students’ English language proficiency through the University Test of English Proficiency (UTEP) helps the university to portray the batch performance and decide future policies and teaching strategies for the English lesson. This is important for the EFL teachers developing teaching strategies that are suitable for students. However, a study to describe the current phenomena of the first freshmen students and the existence of the relationship between UTEP listening and reading proficiency scores also needed to be conducted for the sake of UTEP's continuous improvement as an assessment instrument. Therefore, the present study aims to (1) investigate the descriptive statistics of the current batch first UTEP; and (2) find out the existing relationship between freshmen students’ UTEP reading and listening proficiency scores. A quantitative method was applied to describe the current UTEP scores statistically and to find out the degree of correlation coefficient of freshmen students’ first UTEP. The data was collected from 863 freshmen students who took their first UTEP and statistically analyzed using SPSS version 26. The results revealed that there is a positive and quite strong relationship between freshmen students’ UTEP reading and listening proficiency scores. Finally, this report could be used for further consideration for stakeholders in developing teaching strategies for the batch and evaluating the current UTEP for encouraging better tests and continuous improvement to enhance graduates’ English language proficiency and accomplish the expected output.","PeriodicalId":315125,"journal":{"name":"Lingual: Journal of Language and Culture","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127150910","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 data for this study were obtained from Roger Blench’s (2005) Dictionary of Nigerian English (DNE) and Corpus of Global Web-Based English. While lexical items were culled from the dictionary, the contextual usages of the words which were drawn from the dictionary were gathered through the Corpus of Global Web-Based English. Using a lexical semantic approach, the study compared Standard English and Nigerian English by accounting for semantic shifts, semantic extensions, and morphologically marked neologisms in Nigerian English. Nigerians rarely utilize NE words that represent complete semantic shifts from BrE meanings. Unlike the 'total shift' situation, there is a disparity in the general usage of words to manifest NE extended meaning. The conclusion from the study is that, as it is evident that the English spoken in Nigeria is not the same as British English or American English, examination bodies’ insistence on BrE and AmE is futile and unreasonable. Nigerian English should be recognised by examination agencies; it should be developed and adopted as the Language of pedagogy for primary and secondary education in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":315125,"journal":{"name":"Lingual: Journal of Language and Culture","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129122203","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}

Stand-up comedy is a comedy performance art performed by one performer or who is familiarly called a comic. In her performances, Mega Syalshabillah always uses a theme close to the life of a widow. The depiction she did was a form of answering the negative perception that existed in the public's mind about a widow. In this study, the author will examine how the perception of widows in stand-up comedy delivered by Mega Syalshabillah. Researchers use data sourced from YouTube shows, and this is because the YouTube platform is very close and dominantly used as a means of finding information/watching entertainment by the public. The process for selecting YouTube views is based on the most significant number of views. In practice, the author uses the theory of perception proposed by J. Cohen. The theory of perception that the researcher used aims to see the views and perspectives of a widow due to divorce. Personal branding theory is also used in this study as a supporting theory, and it aims to answer how a comedian promotes himself so that the wider community knows it. The findings obtained from this analysis are that people always have a negative perception of a widow due to divorce; the community first generalizes the bad things about widow status.","PeriodicalId":315125,"journal":{"name":"Lingual: Journal of Language and Culture","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121204155","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}
