Specifically, the study aimed at finding out if length of service and teaching experience affected teachers’ attitudes. In addition, the study examined the differences in teachers’ attitudes when different disabilities are involved. A total of 288 respondents were involved in this study. The results showed that most respondents had positive attitudes, although the majority from every category did not support the idea of educating gifted, normal and mentally retarded children in the same class. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine whether there were differences in attitudes towards integration among teachers according to their length of service and experience. The results revealed that number of years of service had no significant effect on respondents’ attitudes. In addition, Scheffe test was used to determine whether respondents’ attitudes differed towards children with different disabilities. Scheffe test results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between general education teachers and special education teachers on attitudes towards deaf children being in regular classrooms. General education teachers were more positive than were the special education teachers. It was concluded that there is need for intervention strategies that are focused on changing teachers’ attitudes towards integration, if success is to be achieved.","PeriodicalId":362748,"journal":{"name":"Lwati: a journal of contemporary research","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121325153","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}

Moreover, in Machiavelli’s critique of “”grand” philosophical schemes, we fins a challenge to the enterprise of philosophy that commands attention and demands consideration and response. Thus, Machiavelli deserves a place at the table in any comprehensive survey of philosophy. Anyone who makes more than a hasty conclusion after an integral, unbiased reflection on his views will acknowledge the fact that though his thoughts were radical and “out of the normal” they were at least well intended. In this paper therefore we have examined his views on the place of morality in politics. And in the process we have established that contrary to the popular conceptions, Machiavelli was not totally antagonistic to moral goodness. Rather, he merely advised the Prince and Seekers of political power on how to gain and maintain their hold on power given the challenges of political intrigues of both friends and foes. Keyword: morality, politics, Machiavelli philosophy, and political thoughts.","PeriodicalId":362748,"journal":{"name":"Lwati: a journal of contemporary research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123659418","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 examines how NUL students respond to, communicate with and address their lecturers. The paper thus illustrates how and when NUL students make use of address forms such as titles, kinship terms, nicknames, personal names, and other strategies like “face principle” in their verbal interactions with their lecturers. The paper equally examines the various moods of greetings employed by NUL students. The paradigm of the study includes that politeness is a required linguistic communicative behavior in the linguistic and cultural ideology of the Basotho people, thus NUL students. As such, impoliteness is penalized with the essence of preserving relationships and being at peace with oneself and others. The analysis reveals that the choices of linguistic strategies by NUL students are guided by the politeness principles in Lesotho and the social relationship that exists in the University setting. This relationship is based on age, social status, and kinship. The paper, however, demonstrates that age is not the dominant feature for expressing politeness between people. Another common feature found as a strategy by NUL students to express politeness is the extension of kinship terms to all lecturers (even non - kins). I finally argue that with urbanization, caused by exodus from cities to rural areas and vice versa, modernization, and adoption of Western way of life, the polite linguistic and cultural behavior of NUL students is gradually drifting away from their cultural expectations.

It is often said in reference to the primacy of intonation meaning over lexical content that \"It's not what you said, it's how you said it!”. To this effect, a number of scholars have argued that intonation conveys different attitudes in English and is principally responsible for misunderstandings between native and non-native English speakers. This paper, therefore, attempts to ascertain the extent to which Nigerian speakers of English use English intonation tunes to express attitude as it is in Standard British English. Twenty-two subjects comprising television reporters using English for their professional assignments and confirmed to have been exposed to basic training in English intonation during their academic studies and/or in the course of their professional training were made to read five utterance items designed to test their knowledge of attitudinal function of intonation. The analysis shows that the respondents were deficient in the use of English intonation tunes to express attitude as they only scored 15.5% overall appropriate production of intonation tunes in the utterance items. It was concluded that the subjects demonstrated a restricted use of intonation in communication, as intonation was rarely used to express attitude. This confirms earlier claims that Nigerian English users make restricted use of the complex intonation tunes of English especially those tunes assigned to reflect the speaker’s attitude to the listener or what is being said.","PeriodicalId":362748,"journal":{"name":"Lwati: a journal of contemporary research","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123813361","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}
