Semiotics can be used in a variety of contexts. therefore, it is crucial to conduct study in this area to prevent misconceptions about Islam. The study has two issues: (1) the semiotic indicators in Daud Kim's vlog that are connected to misinterpretations of Islamophobic messaging (2) Daud Kim's vlog discusses misinterpreting messages about Islam's semiosis process. In order to reply to and examine the problems, Peirce's theory of triadic relation was used which illustrates the relationship between the represent, object, and interpretation in semiotics. The description of the semiosis process and how it relates to how the indicators should be interpreted were made evident in this study using the qualitative technique. The research's semiosis process: Every statement—verbal or nonverbal—began as a representamen, progressed to an object as the first point at that statement, and—from the relationship between representamen and object—became the interpretant in the end. As a consequence, the study discovered that Daud's statement can be strengthened by the semiosis process in order to avoid and clarify the mistaken message about Islam. It is possible to understand as far as feasible, the essence of the Islamic message through representation, object, and interpreter.

The main findings indicate Criterion ’s satisfactory precision and capacity to trigger vari-ous engagement strategies among learners, but reservations remain due to students’ modest response accuracy and lack of substantive revisions to their texts.

Researchers have proposed evidence of various language-learning benefits, yet downsides persist, such as negative stigmas, a lack of participation of non-gam-ers, and potential adverse consequences from splitting one’s attention between controlling the gameplay and learning language. Recently, watching gameplay popularity has seen exponential growth, yet the potential for language-learning applications has not been considered. Soliciting stakeholders’ experience, attitudes, and perceived effectiveness is a critical determiner of user adoption for new technologies and predicting implementation success. This study first addresses the merit of watching gameplay as a pedagogical method through an overview of the available literature, concentrating on areas of insufficiency and opportunity. It then investigates students’ experience and perceptions to consider feasibility from a practical standpoint through a survey of 139 university students in Japan. The main findings include a higher proportion of watchers than players, including a higher percentage of females, and positive responses regarding ease of use, learning opportunities, and preference, especially for learners who play or watch games. But learners also expressed a need for scaffolding support while voicing limitations in the perceived quality and practicality of the learned language.","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47163836","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 collaborative Action Research study reports on the perspectives and experiences of EFL teachers teaching in secondary schools in three European countries: the north and south of Italy, the east of Norway and the west of Sweden. Data were collected from six EFL teachers: four were users of OCPs, while the other two had chosen not to use them. Methods used to gather data were individual face-to-face interviews and open-question questionnaires. The results showed that all teachers perceived that working on OCPs could benefit professional develop - ment and their students’ language skills. The choice not to use OCPs was related to the lack of time and difficulties in assessment. This research provides a lens through which to examine the advantages and disadvantages of integrating OCPs into the EFL curricula. It has implications for teachers wishing to include OCPs in their curriculum.","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41994926","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}

It involved EFL students with pre-basic and basic proficiency (pre-A1 to A1-A2 on the CEFR level) in a Saudi Arabian uni -versity. Using socially mediated view of literacy and learner agency as a theoretical framework, this study reveals the complex ways in which the students composed multimodal texts while relying on their agency to utilize the digital tools. Data sources include interviews with the students, teacher-researcher reflec -tions, and the students’ multimodal texts. The data reveal that through three distinct bridging practices, the students skillfully navigated through different reading sources and digital tools when they composed their multimodal texts ( technological bridging ), thus affording the opportunities for them to express themselves authentically ( identity bridging) and to engage with the text that they composed meaningfully ( semiotic bridging ). However, there was a trade-off in terms of the teacher’s role in facilitating learner agency and linguistic accuracy. Focus on content lowered the bar on acceptable grammar mistakes. This insight corroborates existing literature on the need for a balanced pedagogical focus on content and accuracy in multimodal composition. This study has implications for teachers who wish to reimagine EFL composition by connecting it to students’ literacy practices, particularly to those with pre-basic and basic proficiency. learner","PeriodicalId":37946,"journal":{"name":"JALT CALL Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49333604","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}
