Some scholars were against the idea that the Glorious Qur’an has foreign words. Other scholarsargued against that, claiming that the existence of foreign words in the Glorious Qur’an would reflect the richness of Arabic and the excellence of the Qur’an. In the middle of these two points of view, lies the convincing argument that both points of view are not wrong: those who claim that there are foreign words in the Glorious Qur’an are right because the origins of these words are Persian, Syriac, Ethiopic, or Hebrew etc. and those who reject this claim are also right because these words were adopted into Arabic and were Arabicized so they became integrated in the Arabic language.","PeriodicalId":409958,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Language & Linguistics","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115508218","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 relation is used to identify sounds of undeciphered scripts. As a first step, sounds which are not in combinations are selected from Hindi, English and Tamil. There are 24 such sounds. These sounds are then represented by points on inner surface of the oral cavity. Images of characters of Egyptian hieroglyphs and Linear B scripts, which have already been deciphered, are selected and their corresponding sounds are studied to precisely position 24 sounds in the vocal cavity. Then, the relation between images, sounds, tongue tip movements and tongue contours is also verified. Using this information, Indus script and Oracle bone scripts are analyzed and their sound values are identified. This approach may be of help in identifying sounds of ancient scripts representing images and as well as understanding primitive spoken languages lacking written scripts.","PeriodicalId":409958,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Language & Linguistics","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128885773","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}

Therefore, the reading strategies play a vital role for comprehending their reading tasks. The present study then investigated the reading strategies employed by Thai university students towards academic reading. The questionnaire, which based on the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (Oxford, 1990), and semi-structure interview were conducted for collecting both quantitative and qualitative data. The collected data then were analysed by using the descriptive statistics. Classified by category, the findings from the questionnaire indicated that affective strategies was rated at the most used strategy, whereas social strategies was reported the least use. Moreover, grouped by strategy, the highest used strategies was cognitive strategies, whereas social strategies was at the least level. In addition, the results from interviewing stated that scanning (cognitive strategies) was the most employed strategy, whereas reading a passage only one time with no focus was the least used. Moreover, summarizing (cognitive strategies) was the most useful strategy reported by the participants, while reading slowly with no focus was the useless technique for most of them. A further study should explore the relationship between the use of reading strategies and the perception towards the useful strategies.","PeriodicalId":409958,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Language & Linguistics","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128308097","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}

Everyone can sing a song and speak a language, but only talented singers and orators are exceptional to their audience.The singers‟ performances analyzed by the author of “The Race of Sound” come from the rich history of African American music. While Eidsheim tells the stories of both very and less famous singers, and focuses on the remarkable voices of Billie Holiday, Jimmy Scott and Marian Anderson, the book is not about their innate talent.It is about those vocal traits that are socially acquired either as part of a linguistic community or as part of culturally marked training techniques.Indeed, the author explains that when singers improvise, their performance appears spontaneous and natural, but it actually is the result of a lifetime enculturation process. Moreover, Eidsheim claims that,regrettably, vocal training is often influenced by pedagogical preconceptions based onpolitical ideology.","PeriodicalId":409958,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Language & Linguistics","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126723761","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}

{"title":"Using Web Conferencing Tools for Preparing Reading Specialists: The Impact of Asynchronous and Synchronous Collaboration on the Learning Process","authors":"Chhanda Islam","doi":"10.30845/ijll.v6n3p1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30845/ijll.v6n3p1","url":null,"abstract":"Web conferencing as an online instructional tool is becoming widely used in many literacy programs in graduate education. However, little is known about how faculty combines asynchronous and synchronous web conferencing technology to enhance pedagogical content knowledge. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a graduate reading methods course offered via synchronous web conference tools combined with an asynchronous component that supports graduate literacy candidates working as literacy coaches and reading specialists.The data indicated a paradigm shift in the way online courses should be taught via two types of online instruction (asynchronous text-based materials and synchronous web conferencing lectures) to emulate traditional face-to-face lectures. Results suggested 93% of graduate students would prefer to take an online course that uses both synchronous web conferencing lectures and asynchronous text-based instruction. Eighty-seven percent of graduate students felt that participating in synchronous web conferencing lectures in addition to using the asynchronous text-based lecture materials increased their understanding of the course material. For more than a decade, distance learning has been a part of higher education in every postsecondary institution. Administrators who thought that an instructor’s physical presence in a classroom contributed to the success of the students and the program pedagogically and economically are now encouraging their academic faculty members to teach via video conferencing—a viable alternative (Peterson & Slotta, 2009).To expand offerings, bolster enrollment and revenue streams, and reach remote students, many administrators are willing to offer web-enhanced courses because they think technology-based classrooms can produce better results than the conventional classroom. Such views are supported by many researchers who suggest distance teaching and learning can be equal to or better than inperson teaching in a traditional classroom (Karabulut & Correia, 2008).A web-enhanced course is classified as an online class wherein face-to-face instruction is integrated, with a substantial amount of “seat time” in the traditional classroom being substituted with internet-based activities. Ultimately, the goal of hybrid instruction is the creation of synchronous and asynchronous learning communities that enable students to create networks of interactions in which deep learning takes place (Li & Atkins, 2005; Wang & Newlin, 2000). Web conferencing as an online instructional tool is becoming widely used in many literacy programs in graduate education. However, it is difficult to find a systematic empirical study of how the collaborative competencies of graduate students and course instructors impact literacy learning in any online environment (Bodzin & Park, 2016).

There are those who speak Semitic languages such as Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic and there are those who speak Indo-European languages such as Hindi, English, German, etc. This multiplicity normally leads to diversity of the cultures, arts, literatures, and philosophies. Because language is regarded as the means of expressing all these matters, it is necessary to find a way of communication between the different communities. Thus, there has been a need to know and be acquainted with the different languages through the establishment of translation that occurred in the Umayyad and Abbasid eras, especially during the rule of the 5th Umayyad caliph ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwān, (646–8 October 705). That is because translation was considered a way of the cultural and social communication. Thus, this research is conducted in three parts to discuss the problems of intermediary translation of German literary text into Arabic. The first part talks about the beginning of the Arabic acquaintance with the famous translations of German literary works, especially in Iraq and Egypt to determine the characteristics of this reception. In the second part we will discuss the most famous German novel which translated into Arabic several times and has gained a lot of resonance in the Arab world. It is Die Leiden des jungen Werthers [The Sorrows of young Werther]. Hereby we refer to their translations, in order to see the influence of the intermediary translation on the original text. The third part is talking about the feature of intermediary translation. It must be investigated which problems causes such translation.","PeriodicalId":409958,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Language & Linguistics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128741699","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}
