The concept of” the Art of Simple Language” proposed by Lin Liang profoundly explains the essential characteristics of children’s literature and gives full respect and appreciation to children’s simple language. However, there are not many studies on the art of simple language at present, and the study of children’s language translation is also an academic land to be reclaimed. This paper gives a brief introduction to Lin Liang’s “the Art of Simple Language” and related research. In view of the main characteristics of simple language, the phenomenon of simple language in Frozen II is studied, and the artistic restoration degree of Frozen II E-C subtitle translation for the art simplicity is analyzed from the aspects of language style representation, harmony between artistic style and subtitle translation, emotional meaning and philosophical transmission. Combined with the additional effects of film and television, the art of simple language flashes a charming light in subtitle translation.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82500208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have shown that several teacher-related factors, especially subject mastery, experience, qualification, and questioning styles contribute to students’ learning outcomes in ESL classrooms. Hence, there is the need to conduct this study. The study adopted a correlational type of descriptive research design. Four research h questions were raised and 20 English language teachers were randomly selected to participate in this study. Two research instruments were used: Teachers’ Questionnaire on Pedagogical Factors in Teaching (TQPFIT) (r = 0.74) and Reading Comprehension Achievement Test (RCAT) (r = 0.71) were used for data collection. The results indicated that there was no significant relationship between the in dependent variables and students’ achievement in reading comprehension. Also, there were no relative and composite contribution of teachers’ qualification and questioning styles to students’ achievement in reading comprehension. However, questioning styles predicted students’ achievement higher than teachers’ qualification. Based on these findings, it was recommended that teachers should develop and adopt quality questioning styles during lesson delivery to stimulate learners’ interest, engage them in the learning task, and improve students’ achievement.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82481449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His creative ideas and skills have exerted a profound influence on many American writers. At the same time, his works express that under the impact of modernity and mechanization, the ecological environment has been seriously damaged, and the local civilization has gradually disappeared, and describe the loss of human sense of belonging and spiritual alienation in this process. Winesburg, Ohio is a famous work by Sherwood Anderson. In this book, he sharply describes the negative impact of mechanization on ecology from three aspects of natural ecology, spiritual ecology, and social ecology, and he calls for the return of ecological values and the protection of ecological environment. While discussing the ecological crisis brought by modernity, Sherwood Anderson also discussed the reconstruction of the close relationship between man and nature, which provided ideas for solving the plight of human existence and called for building a world in which man and nature live in harmony, which coincided with the central idea of ecological criticism. From the perspective of eco-criticism, this paper discusses the problems brought by modern civilization in Winesburg, Ohio , subverts the control of industrial civilization over human, re-realizes the harmonious coexistence, and re-stores the harmonious relationship between human and nature, which is important to guide the construction and development of contemporary ecological civilization.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84155621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the four blurbs on the back page of the dramatic text, only one makes cursory remark about it as a reflection of the Nigerian problems. Beyond such casual reference, this study foregrounds metaphoric diagnosis and aesculapian comorbidity of the plagues threatening the wellbeing of Nigeria and her unity in the text. This gives the play dual interpretative mode – literal and metaphoric – just like Albert Camus’ The Plague and Tony Marinho’s The Epidemic . Like the precursory novels, Verdict of the Gods presents the scenario of a community gone awkward, one in which the gods of healing are irked, when the community is plagued by disease and death, because of the blood of innocent citizens shed by the venal and rapacious leaders. The use of Igbo setting, proverbial witticism and lexes provide a profound proof that the play caricatures, in a satiric form, the contemporary Nigerian sociopolitical scene, using the Greco-Roman medical practice. Jeff cautions Nigeria, that the blood of innocent people killed, or those who die, as a result of the actions or inactions of the leaders is the reason the society may not “see progress” (p.73). The solution to the problems is patriotism and atonement of sins by the rulers and their accomplices.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77387129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the novel, Mrs. Ramsay found solace and hope for the future when she was immersed in her flowing of consciousness featured by heterogeneous and continuous “duration” of psychological time, while Lily Briscoe, as Woolf’s “artist alter ego,” struggled against the anguish in her duration of psychological time, transforming memory into the art of eternity. With the virtuoso representation of “stream of consciousness,” Woolf amplifies psychological-time narration within the structure of the external “clock time”, uncovering the truth of human consciousness, revealing the connection between the spiritual and the objective world, and exploring the essence of life.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77837079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When it comes to humanity, the task of English curriculum is to improve students’ comprehensive humanity qualities, one of which is to deepen their understanding of different cultures. Cultural awareness is a reflection of the core literacy in English learning. The cultivation of students’ cultural awareness not only contributes to students’ strengthening of national identity, enhancing of cultural self-confidence in the traditional culture of the nation, but also helps develop an inclusive attitude towards excellent foreign cultures, thereby improving their cross-cultural communication competence. Since the textbooks are regarded as core teaching materials, it is essential for textbooks to contain various cross-cultural elements to better cultivate learners’ cultural awareness. Therefore, cultural content in English textbooks is a necessary issue to be investigated. This paper took 6A Unit 8 Chinese New Year (Yilin Edition) as an example to integrate more cultural knowledge into the specific teaching design. The results in this paper reveal that teachers play four roles in primary school English teaching in terms of raising students’ cultural awareness, namely, the emotion motivator, the cognition inspirator, the behavior guide and the morality regulator.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81903044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finally, it is concluded that reduplicated words are widely used in the English-Chinese translation of children’s literature. In the process of English-Chinese translation, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, nouns, quantifiers, numerals and onomatopoeia can be translated into reduplicated words when necessary. On the one hand, it can add language charm and make the translation more vivid, and on the other hand, it is easy for children to accept.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90936870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
