Alharthi, Ziad Ali and Abdulhafeth Ali Khrisat. 2016. The Impact of muwshah and zajal on troubadours poetry International Journal of English and Literature. November. Vol.7(11), pp. 172-178

Review:

This paper aims to examine the impact of the muwashah and zajal of Hispano-Arabic on the troubadours’ poetry in structure and themes, language and rhyme. In the field of poetry, the troubadours have resembled the Arab singers in structure and theme. The famous Dutch Orientalist interested in Arab Andalusia, notes in his book Spanish Islam that it was due to the international appeal of the Arabic language that the people in Andalusia were keen on learning Arabic, and that they were enamored with the language and its literature. There has been an intercultural experience of Arabic poetry of medieval Spain with western culture: an exchange of concepts, themes and stylistic devices between the popular poetry and courtly poetry. The word “troubadour,” according to philology comes from the Arabic word “tarab” or “taraba”, meaning “to sing”. This is the root of the “troub-dor”. “Tarab” means “music song. The theme of love from the first sight, the cruelty of the beloved, the impact of true love leading into the suffering of the lover, sickness and weakness are also included in the troubadours‟ and Hispano-Arabic poetry. As the troubadours are travelling poetry-singers to entertain the royal courts, the muwashah and zajal are sung and recited in the palaces and castles of caliphs, kings and royalty.

Farzana, Shamsi. 2016. The Theme of Mysticism in Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson’s Poetry.

European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies. January. Vol.4, No.1, pp.1-15

Review:

Whitman was an ideal poet, he believed that he is the poet of man first, then of nature, and finally of God . Whitman’s ideal poet is a singer of the self; he also understands the relation between

self and the large realities of the social and political world and of the spiritual universe. Miss Dickinson poetry is rich with a profound and varied experience; motivated by an arrogant passion for the truth. Miss Dickinson real reverence to God that makes her a mystic lies in a more manifest and more beautiful evidence of divine will than creeds and churches. The aim and content of Christian mysticism is not self or nature but God. Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson both have been hailed as original and unique artists. They each have like proportions a very unique epic like manner. Whitman preoccupation with sex, the human body, and numerous other “taboo” subjects, changed the American public view of poetry. Emily Dickinson was more of a dark, serious person, whereas Walt Whitman was more at ease with him. They lived at the same era but they are different from each other.

Shang, Ndi Gilbert. 2016. A question of the body: Colonial legacies and postcolonial imaginaries of power in African literary texts. International Journal of English and Literature. September. Vol.7(9), pp. 143-151

Review:

The analyses in this study are anchored on postcolonial theory with regard to issues such as power, race, centre/margin and decolonisation while the various notions of corporeality discussed here are informed by the works of theorists like Friedrich Nietzsche et all. This is carried out through a variety of narrative structures, one of the most effective of which is the postcolonial dictatorship novel form. thus in reaction to the myth of the potentate‟s body that sets itself above the citizenry that postcolonial dictatorship novels attempt to inspire alternative epistemological relationship of bodies based on dignity and mutual respect. Internalisation did not however exclude the subject‟s tactics of subversion and contestation as can be seen from the proliferation of legend, myths, folklore, fables, popular ballads, proverbs, anecdotes, idioms, rumours, etc. that characterise subject representation of colonial encounters in Africa. The colonial encounter, the fate of colonizer/colonized bodies and experiences of dispossession became embedded in riddles, proverbs and folktales, precursors of postcolonial forms of creative writing. In most cases, material and spiritual dis-possessions were inseparable as represented in narratives that bring to bear different perceptions of the bodies of the self and other.

Because Nowadays education is more and more taking advantage of Information Technology. Students chose cell phone cause it’s offer an ideal platform for learning and the usage of dictionary in cell phones and its probable impact on student spelling has been overlooked in the literature. Students also can put their cell phone in their pocket and bring it everywhere. Researcher in Japan examined the use of cell phone in education.  In this study students were surveyed regarding their use of mobile phones. English vocabulary lessons were sent to the learners' mobile phones using short text messages and a website was developed to explain the English idioms which students surfed using the 3G phones. The findings revealed that mobile phones are ubiquitous among students and learners were ready to read small texts on mobile screens. It was noted that mobile phones can effectively serve to educate a foreign language learner and short text messages is very useful in teaching vocabulary. As the researcher investigated the effect of using cell phone dictionaries on improving male and female Iranian high school EFL learners’ spelling results suggest that using cellphone had a significant effect on students’ spelling.

Dolean, Dacian Dorin and Andreea Dolghi. 2016. Teaching Young FL Learners New Vocabulary: A Comparison between the Efficiency of Keyword Method and Total Physical Response. International Journal of English Linguistics. November. Vol. 6, No. 6

Review:

Among the first and most important steps to be taken towards formal teaching of a FL is teaching its vocabulary. This investigation aimed to assess and compare the efficiency of two mnemonics that have been traditionally used to explicitly teach new foreign language words. The Keyword Method (KWM) shown that the retention of a new vocabulary word in a FL can be substantially increased when the learner associates its sound to a keyword in his/her native language and then creates a mental image combining the two words. Total Physical Response is another popular mnemonic strategy used for teaching FL vocabulary. TPR is When using this method, FL instructors give a series of commands in the targetlanguage (e.g., jump and clap your hands), while learners are expected to respond with whole-body movements (e.g., to jump while clapping their hands). The researcher took random children for this study. The material for KWM are paper with picture and word in English and the other is word in english with the meaning in Romanian language. And there is no visual materials were used in the TPR treatment.  The results indicating a large size of the main effect for treatment and the fact that the recall performance of the KWM treatment was more than 3 times higher. The study also indicates that, although using an interactive method like TPR to teach young children vocabulary words can be age-appropriate and entertaining, the assumed efficiency of such a method (compared with more traditional methods, such as single picture presentation) needs to be treated with caution.
