Guto Adulan high school in West Shoa Zone, Bako Tibe Woreda was chosen as the study site and two EFL teachers and 54 students in grade ten were the participants. Questionnaires, observation and interviews were used as data collection methods and the analysis of the data was done through frequency, percentage and mean score as well as qualitative methods. Results showed that most EFL teachers had been using traditional approaches or teacher-centered language learning methods and the main cause of the low level of cooperative learning usage was the number of students in the classroom, seating arrangements, textbook volumes, misunderstanding of cooperative learning and the students' poor English language background. Suggestions were provided based on the findings to help the effectiveness of cooperative language learning and improve student speaking skills. These include motivating, encouraging and giving attention to group discussions, observing and evaluating group work, conducting feedback in groups, giving teachers more training in this area and students continuing to maintain what they have achieved and having more practice using cooperative learning. Further research on the topic is recommended as well as school management reducing the number of students in the classroom, requesting additional EFL teachers from the concerned body and supervising teachers in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":333300,"journal":{"name":"English Language, Literature & Culture","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134435774","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}

They are both egalitarian and patriarchal in nature and they believe in the principles of justice and fairness. Consequently, they operate a cultural worldview which compels every member of the society to operate by the society’s rules and standards of behaviour and the transgression of which attracts some sanction. As a patriarchal society, they place a high premium on paternal honour and respect. This is reflected in one of their proverbs: “Nwata tulie nna ya elu, ogodo nna ya ayochie ya anya”. (A child who dishonours his father by treating him like a toy is blinded by the father’s loin cloth/scrotum). This illustrates the fact that the Igbos demand for justice on acts of paternal/parental dishonour. This proverb is brought home in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (1958, henceforth Things) and Adichie's Purple Hibiscus (2006, henceforth, Purple), two novels set in Igbo community and authored by Igbo writers These two works are related in their heroes’ dishonourable treatment of their fathers and the grievous sanctions that come with such despicable acts. This essay adopts the above Igbo proverb and Jeremy Collier’s view of literature as a discipline that encourages virtue and condemns vice (P. 97). It argues that the protagonists’ transgression of the Igbo code of filial relationship spells their disastrous end, and concludes on the note that Achebe and Adichie, two Nigerian Igbo writers, inscribe their cultural worldview and identity in these novels.","PeriodicalId":333300,"journal":{"name":"English Language, Literature & Culture","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129163501","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}

Alienation, Aggressiveness and Aphasia: A Lacanian Psychoanalysis of the Cowley Father and Son in Sherwood Anderson’s “Queer” 疏离、攻击性与失语:对舍伍德·安德森《酷儿》中考利父子的拉康精神分析

Elmer Cowley’s queer behaviors suggest that he has developed “self-punishment paranoia,” a mental disorder Lacan found and examined in his doctoral thesis. The term illustrates the paradoxical and alienating nature of the relationship between subjects and their identities. Elmer’s attacking of George Willard, the only newspaper reporter of Winesburg and the incarnation of the big Other, is equivalent to the attacking of himself, for George serves as Elmer’s ego-ideal through the mechanism of symbolic identification. Besides, the Cowley father and son also show a certain degree of aphasia. The seemingly nonsensical expression about laundry, which the Cowleys often utters unintendedly when they try to confront Winesburg residents, discloses the truth of the unconscious subject that they desire to be normal like other town folks. The Cowleys’ aphasia indicates their failure of being integrated into the Winesburg community. Anderson’s foresights of Lacanian psychoanalysis yet to be born in his time prove the prophet role a truly insightful writer can assume.","PeriodicalId":333300,"journal":{"name":"English Language, Literature & Culture","volume":"154 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133488825","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}

Besides, it is the medium of instruction starting from secondary education. Even after receiving more than ten years of formal English language education in school, the students still remain inadequate in their ability to use the language and to comprehend its use in interaction both in verbal and written mode. The graduates of Ethiopian Technical University who become trainers in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) Colleges are expected to prepare teaching learning materials, provide training, conduct researches in their field of study, present project works and so on. In addition to field area knowledge, these tasks demand English language ability in order to execute their jobs successfully. Thus, this study was conducted to analyze the English occupational needs of garment and apparel fashion technology trainers. The findings reveal that the important English language macro-skills in workplace setting are writing, speaking, listening, and reading in descending order.
