As social media is a growing phenomenon that contributes to language change and the way we use it, the effects this language change has on EFL students is of particular interest. This research covers Facebook and Instagram, as it also employs a quantitative method with an online questionnaire as its research instrumentation to collect the data. The questionnaire was distributed online through Google forms using a closed-ended questionnaire. The findings indicated that Libyan EFL University Students believe that social media has a positive effect on their language. It was also found that writing is the most affected and improved skill when using social media for learning the English language. Results also indicated that social media helps learners acquire and practise new vocabulary and decrease spelling errors. The researchers recommended more research to assess the influence of other social media platforms on EFL learners, such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Furthermore, further research into the impact of social media on each skill independently is also advised.","PeriodicalId":46577,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of American Linguistics","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91176986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metonymy is not only a figure of speech, but also a cognitive means by which one conceptual entity offers mental access to another conceptual entity. In poetry, metonymy, as a linguistic device, is able to construct rich meanings and aesthetic effects and thus highlight the theme. What’s more, metonymy is able to reveal the cognitive process by which the poet perceives and thinks about the world. As for readers, their decoding of poetry is partly dependent on their mental processing of metonymy. Metonymy in classical Chinese poetry is culturally and historically situated. Thus, metonymy is a vehicle for cultural and historical information. The exploration of metonymy in classical Chinese poetry is aimed to offer a new perspective of metonymy for literary studies.","PeriodicalId":46577,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of American Linguistics","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89609331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data was sampled from Boston and Worcester, where many Africans reside. Data was collected by taking pictures of inscriptions of the stores owned by African immigrants. The data showed contact between the indigenous languages of the immigrants and colonial languages. The inscriptions are usually a mixture of the English and local languages of the immigrants. The images portrayed the connection to Africa through the use of the word ‘African’ and the use of symbols that connect to Africa. It was again revealed that religion and African writing systems form part of the linguistic landscape of the immigrants.","PeriodicalId":46577,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of American Linguistics","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78039086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three methods were used in this study regarding the participants’ learning experience, pronunciation proficiency, and cultural competence. Their learning experience data were collected through unstructured interviews via WhatsApp (i.e., a smartphone application mainly used for text messaging). Pronunciation proficiency was tested using Brooks’ (1999) pronunciation test, which assesses the mastery of four main aspects: blending sounds, stress, intonation, and rhythm. Berry’s (1980) East Asian Acculturate Measure (EAAM) was used to measure their cultural competence level. The findings showed that the selected participants adapted integrative and assimilation acculturation strategies. The two strategies show high acculturation levels, indicating L2 cultural competence in Fenner’s (2000) classification of cultural exposure outcomes. The pronunciation test implied that the participants mastered English sound blending, stress, intonation, and rhythm. Considering that external factors other than acculturation were controlled, the study concluded that their high acculturation predicts their pronunciation proficiency.","PeriodicalId":46577,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of American Linguistics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89598770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted with the aim of eliciting the lecturers’ and students’ perspectives on the difficulties faced by them in the implementation of online oral presentation in Malaysian English classrooms. This study employed a qualitative approach by interviewing 15 students and 6 instructors on the practice of online oral presentation assessments. The data were analysed employing thematic analysis. It was found that the challenges faced by the lecturers were in terms of providing feedback and number of students, while time management, practice arrangement, technical problems, and lack of feedback were the challenges faced by the students. This study recommends the faculty and the management to look into these issues so that both lecturers and students could optimise their time and materials for teaching and learning purposes. It is also suggested to consider the perspectives from the faculty and management for future research as they are the decision makers towards the curriculum.","PeriodicalId":46577,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of American Linguistics","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76986970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
