The ultimate aim of this study was to show the tripartite relationship among EFL teachers’ cognition, perceived and actual classroom practices of reading instruction at secondary schools in Addis Ababa. A descriptive survey research design was employed. Questionnaire, interview and classroom observation were used as major data collection instruments. Particularly, questionnaire and interview were used to explore teachers’ cognition, and perceived practices of reading instruction whereas classroom observation was done to assess their actual classroom practices. The study was held at six secondary schools found in Gulela sub city in Addis Ababa. 80 English language teachers who were active in the academic year of 2022 had taken part in filling the questionnaire. And classroom observation and interview were done with six EFL teachers. The study participants were selected purposively. Finally, the data attained via questionnaire was analyzed quantitatively by using SPSS, whereas data from interview and classroom observation were qualitatively narrated. The finding revealed that EFL teachers’ cognition of reading instruction and their actual classroom practices lied on the bottom up approach of reading instruction whereas the report of teachers’ perceived classroom practices indicated that they implement top-down approach. EFL teachers’ cognition of reading instruction was found to be contradicting with their perceived classroom practices but congruent with their actual classroom practices.","PeriodicalId":42230,"journal":{"name":"Asiatic-IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72769315","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}

He does not consider dalits to be located to one place, or even to one state or country but a community as citizen of the world. It is the story of Damu Runjaji Jadhav, the uneducated, engine-mechanic in Mumbai Railways and his family. As a dalit text, the memoir is beyond all shade of doubt, the representation of the assertive and vibrant dalit characters, the writing of dalit history and the formation of dalit identity in the global context. Damu is inspired by the philosophy espoused by Babasaheb Ambedkar and he also participated in Ambedkarite Movement. The slogan of ‘Educate, Organise and Agitate’ given by Babasaheb Ambedkar to his millions of untouchable brothers reverberates in the story. The influence of Dr. Ambedkar’s ideas made an activist out of Damu. He came to realize that it was not sufficient to remain content with being able to live one’s life and provide for the family. The aim of this paper is to emphasize that education helps the downtrodden to refine quality of life and liberate themselves from the exploitation of caste. The book ends with the realization that further change is required. The world has to stop treating dalits as different. It is up to the present generation to carry the torch lit by the tears and blood of their ancestors.","PeriodicalId":42230,"journal":{"name":"Asiatic-IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80852224","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 aim was to unearth the intersection between the inscriptions on the walls of classrooms, the cognitive processes involved in such discourse and the context. The theoretical orientation hinged on a combination of cognitive discourse analysis (Tenbrink, 2015) and socio-semiotic approaches of language study (Halliday & Matthiessen, 1999). Through the purposive sampling technique, 40 classroom graffiti were captured from the classroom walls at Swedru School of Business, a senior high school in the Agona West Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana. The graffiti were captured with a Samsung smart phone camera within the months of February and March, 2023. The findings revealed that the following themes (ideologies) were expressed in classroom graffiti: violence/threat, vulgarity, warning, nickname, love/encouragement and awareness, with violence/threat being the most recurring ideology and awareness the least. It was concluded that there is a strong connection between graffiti and cognition and evaluating the form of language in any socio-cultural setting is synonymous to evaluating the cognitive tendencies of the members of such community.","PeriodicalId":42230,"journal":{"name":"Asiatic-IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87309266","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 paper delves into the need for a paradigm shift in education, emphasizing the incorporation of Indian Knowledge Traditions (IKT) into the curriculum. The aim is to facilitate the holistic development of students by imbibing values, ethics, and wisdom from ancient Indian texts and philosophies. The paper underscores the historical contributions of India to various fields, such as mathematics, science, medicine, and philosophy, often overlooked due to the influence of Western education. The urgency to integrate IKT arises from the gaps in the modern education system, which predominantly emphasizes specialized skills rather than holistic personality development. The benefits of integrating IKT are manifold, including nurturing cultural awareness, fostering a positive sense of identity, and promoting ethical decision-making. The paper underscores the role of educational boards like NCERT, ICSE, and NIOS in developing dedicated IKT courses, which can also be offered through online platforms. To realize these goals, collaboration with traditional scholars and experts, training of teachers in IKT, and interdisciplinary research are proposed.","PeriodicalId":42230,"journal":{"name":"Asiatic-IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136004954","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 paper attempts to focus on the common features of the characters in the novels of the two women authors Anita Desai and Margaret Atwood. Most of the protagonists of Desai can be classified under two categories, one with disturbed, obsessed, oversensitive, aesthetic sensibility while the others are a little tough, stubborn, sarcastic, and cynical about the situations and the people around. Whether it is Maya, Monisha, Sita and Tara who belong to the first category or Nirode, Amla, Nanda and Sophie who belong to the second category, it all begins with the feeling of that estrangement which leads to the zenith though they chose different endings. Margaret Atwood opines that the central reality of Canada or Canadian literature depends wholly on the concept of survival and existence. Similar to those of Desai, Atwood’s heroines attempt to discover their inner self as they feel that they are like emotional refugees seeking shelter in a terrain that they cannot identify themselves with. Most of her characters, especially women feel emotionally maimed and undergo a constant turmoil to connect with the now and present.","PeriodicalId":42230,"journal":{"name":"Asiatic-IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136005149","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}

Most studies are concerned with how MT is used in TL classroom than how much it is used. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the extent mother-tongue (Amharic and/or Afan Oromo) use by teachers and students in grade nine. A case study research design was used in which observation was the main data collection tool, and data was analyzed quantitatively. The result of teachers’ extent of mother-tongue use showed a ratio of 11% MT to 89% TL. This implied that teachers’ use of MT is considered optimal as (Macaro’s, 2011) standard that teachers’ should use 80% of lesson time in TL. On the other hand, students’ finding showed a ratio of 47% of MT to 53% of TL use. It implied that students’ use of MT is well beyond what is considered optimal by (Atkinson’s, 1987) standard that a ratio of about 5% native language to about 95% TL may be more profitable. Students’ incompetence in TL was seen as major factor for students’ use of MT in English classroom. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended that students should be given sufficient opportunity to use TL in English classroom, and teachers should also be well trained on how to manage MT use in English classroom.","PeriodicalId":42230,"journal":{"name":"Asiatic-IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88875334","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}
