In individuals' numerous boundary-crossing travels, the theory emphasizes the significance of elastically negotiating sociocultural membership identity and personal identity features. Identity negotiation can work. It can be caused by personal identity and social identity. In The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Wisberger (2003), this negotiation occurs because of discrimination in the workplace, where pressure and the work environment play a significant role in Andrea Sach's fashion changes. This film is the primary data used by researchers to dig deeper into this aspect of literature. In this study, researchers will focus on the character of Andrea Sach. Through qualitative analysis assisted by a semiotic approach, information will be obtained regarding the negotiated identity problem caused by direct discrimination by legitimate power and supported by the influence of social identity, which led Andrea to change her fashion appearance as a secretary to suit Miranda's wishes.","PeriodicalId":34692,"journal":{"name":"LET Linguistics Literature and English Teaching Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86594748","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}

Taking a close look at a number of modern Persian expressions in Iranian culture, containing the body-part term Cheshm, one can easily become aware of lack of a definite pattern in those expressions. Given that this shortage makes a lot of misunderstandings among non-native speakers, the present exploration is done as a kind of a qualitative research which is based on a library-oriented study as well as general and theoretical scholarship that aims to bridge the gap by categorizing the conceptualization of the word Cheshm ‘eye’ under the classification of desire and ambition, vice versus virtue, hope and expectation, affection versus aversion as well as vision and outlook. After the introduction of Persian expressions and the context in which they are used, the assumed cultural factors which are thought to have motivated such conceptualizations are discussed. It is hoped that the study at hand aids anyone learning Persian as a second/foreign language in order to better understand the expressions and also shed enough light on some of the major aspects of conceptualization of the body-part term Cheshm ‘eye’ in Persian language.","PeriodicalId":34692,"journal":{"name":"LET Linguistics Literature and English Teaching Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85939152","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 findings revealed that the participants indicated all the academic language skills as important for students' academic study in the university. The instructors prioritized the academic language skills (academic reading and academic vocabulary) as important, whereas the students ranked the language skills (academic writing and academic speaking) as the first importance. The study emphasized the importance of conducting learners’ needs analysis before developing any English for Academic Purposes course.

The introduction of PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge) seems to merge the disparity. PCK is a special amalgam between content and pedagogy, which is unique to teachers and especially to experienced teachers. However, teacher training institutions place different emphasis on content and pedagogy. As a result, novice teachers encounter various challenges in their professional career in applying appropriate PCK in the classrooms. This study was aimed at exploring EFL novice teachers’ implementation of PCK in upper primary schools during speaking lessons. The results show that upper primary school EFL novice teachers had gaps in Subject Matter Knowledge (SMK) and PCK to teach EFL speaking skills though they believe that they are equally important to teach speaking skills which they consider as one of the most difficult areas for them to teach. Hence, teacher training colleges need to provide trainees with strong content and pedagogical backgrounds.","PeriodicalId":34692,"journal":{"name":"LET Linguistics Literature and English Teaching Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88601972","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}

However, less attention has been paid to the integration of problem-solving skills in the course syllabus. Hence, this study aims to discover the extent to which problem-solving skills are integrated in the syllabus of “English in Academic Discourse” course and which components of the syllabus integrate problem-solving skills. The 21 words/phrases/sentences that indicate problem-solving skills in the syllabus components of English in Academic Discourse course in English Language Education Study Program were analyzed using problem-solving skills frameworks and indicators obtained from PISA (OECD, 2013), Trilling & Fadel (2009), and Partnership for 21st Century Learning Framework (P21, 2019). Qualitative content analysis is used as the methodology of this study and deductive content analysis by Mayring (2014) is used as the data analysis procedure of this study. The findings of this study show that all of the problem-solving skills indicators–exploration, understanding, representation, solution identification, planning, plan’s execution, monitoring and reflection–are integrated explicitly and implicitly in the course syllabus components. However, only five out of eleven syllabus components–basic information of the course, learning outcomes, course objectives, learning method, and course activities–integrate it.","PeriodicalId":34692,"journal":{"name":"LET Linguistics Literature and English Teaching Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81845236","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 on the evaluations of the ESP coursebook were gained from questionnaires administered to 166 students majoring in nursing and pharmacy in charge of ESP programs. Semi-structured interviews were employed with four students to get more specific apprehension. The results of this study indicated that students were satisfied with the ESP coursebook in terms of the covering of four skills, the presence of vocabulary and grammar, relevant content, understandable social and cultural context, suitability for mix-level students. In addition, participants perceived that communicative skills were not sufficiently presented, examples in grammar were not more interesting, the illustrations were not diverse and enough, and the cover was simple but not appealing.
