Moderated mediation analyses revealed both student groups understood affiliative\u0000 humor and considered it appropriate and humorous which then enhanced their learning. Aggressive humor positively predicted Thai\u0000 students’ learning through the mediating role of humorousness and negatively predicted U.S. students’ learning through the\u0000 mediating role of appropriateness. Self-defeating humor enhanced U.S. students’ learning through the moderating role of\u0000 appropriateness. This study clarified the influence of different humor styles on learning and extended the instructional humor\u0000 processing theory by demonstrating the moderating effect of culture. With the internationalization of higher education and\u0000 increasing number of foreign-born instructors, this pioneering study provided preliminary suggestions for effectively using humor\u0000 in cross-cultural classrooms.","PeriodicalId":43807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Pacific Communication","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42137992","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 gayly effeminate speech style remains firmly entrenched in Japanese media-representations of gay male\u0000 characters despite its alleged rejection by actual gay men as well as its problematic characterization as being disrespectful to\u0000 women. By adopting an ethnographic approach anchored in performance studies, I address\u0000 onē-kotoba not in media but one real, perhaps unexpected, context of use. As Ni-chōme\u0000 volleyballers swing between discretion and disclosure by fashioning language(/gender), such tactical performance of\u0000 onē-kotoba lubricates an aesthetically pro-silence erotic play in tension with Japan’s –\u0000 retrospectively and arguably – family-oriented, if not homophobic, sociocultural orientation resistant to “out-and-proud”\u0000 activism. Overall, this ethnographic research highlights the enduring difficulty of radical coalition among diverse populations,\u0000 as I spotlight Ni-chōme volleyballers by discussing what has been in Japan in relation to the Euro-American resistance-minded\u0000 queer theory.","PeriodicalId":43807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Pacific Communication","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47688038","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}

Drawing on qualitative interviews with seven Meranao women leaders in Lanao del\u0000 Norte and Lanao del Sur, in The Philippines, this paper examines the multilayered issues and challenges these women face in their\u0000 roles as leaders, as they leap into higher decision-making positions. I articulate the ideologies that shape their leadership\u0000 experiences and their performative repertoires, and examine the ways in which they are able to perform their leadership roles\u0000 given their opportunities and constraints. Finally, the study describes the agentic pathways the women traverse to effect\u0000 leadership in Meranao politics and socio political development. Results show that intersectional approaches to investigating\u0000 leadership, taking into account interconnected and overlapping factors of gender and ethnicity, can not only reveal the issues and\u0000 challenges women leaders face, but also the individual agencies and strategies they use to overcome such constraints. The\u0000 intersectionality approach challenges essentialist framings of leadership, and emphasizes an individual’s social location, as\u0000 reflected in the intersecting identities of these Meranao women. This intersectionality, as I reveal, allows for the emergence of\u0000 a negotiated form of leadership among women, which requires a delicate balance between meeting social expectations as women and\u0000 fulfilling roles as leaders.","PeriodicalId":43807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Pacific Communication","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48603369","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, how these private hospitals discursively present themselves to prospective health tourists in order to entice them to use their medical services rather than their rivals’ still remains under-researched. Following the ESP genre school, this study seeks to explore the “About Us” sections of private hospitals’ websites and aims to see how such sections are rhetorically designed and constructed. Using Bhatia’s (1993, 2004) move structures for promotional texts, this study examines the rhetorical structure of the constituent webpages of the “About Us” sections of forty-one Malaysian private hospitals’ websites. Our study demonstrates how Malaysian private hospitals utilize a number of cognitive structures to present and promote themselves in their “About Us” sections. Our findings are, in general, beneficial for the private hospitals in Malaysia or elsewhere in the world, and in particular, are helpful for novice medical website designers.","PeriodicalId":43807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Pacific Communication","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45754775","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 study, therefore, assessed the effectiveness and the impact of the program designed to address the needs of Asian immigrants. Guided and supported by the constructivism learning theory (Vygotsky, 1980), the professional development program applied theories of intercultural communication training (Bennett & Salonen, 2004). A mixed method of inquiry involved surveys with ten faculty members and 16 students, in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Faculty members attended the workshops during the first year of students’ enrollment in their classes. The data stem from a longitudinal study conducted throughout the three years of students’ enrollment in the institution. The results established a probable relationship between the workshops and faculty members’ success in working with Asian immigrants.","PeriodicalId":43807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Pacific Communication","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44508835","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}
