The 2015 Pansig Journal Narratives: Raising the Happiness Quotient The 2015 PanSIG Journal Narratives: Raising the Happiness Quotient Edited & Published by JALT PanSIG Proceedings Editor-in-Chief Gavin Brooks Doshisha University Editors Mathew Porter (Fukuoka Jo Gakuin University) Donna Fujimoto (Osaka Jogakuin University) Donna Tatsuki (Kobe City University of Foreign Studies.) Layout and Design by Gavin Brooks Message from the editors: The 14th Annual PanSIG Conference was held at Kobe City University of Foreign Studies on May 16th and 17th, 2015. The theme of the conference was, “Narratives: Raising the Happiness Quotient.” This was a collaborative effort from 26 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) within the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT). The conference was highly successful and participants were able to attend presentations on a variety of topics from a wide spectrum in the fields of language teaching and learning. With this year conference the name of the post conference publication has been changed to the 2015 PanSIG Journal to reflect the work that the authors’ put into their papers. With a blind peer review process and dedicated reviewing and editing committees, along with motivated and professional authors, the quality of the papers submitted to the post conference publication is consistently very high. The same is true for the papers that have been included in the 2015 PanSIG Journal. This year’s publication is a representative effort from the conference in Kobe and 30 papers from a number of different SIGs on a diverse range of topics were accepted for publication in this year’s volume. These include papers that focus on both research topics and teaching practices and serve to highlight the effort and creativity of the participants of the conference and the members of the SIGs involved. The quantity of presentations and published papers from the conference are increasing year by year and show the professional determination of talented individuals who have shared their thoughts and insights on teaching languages. We are honoured and proud to have been a part of this process. We would like to thank all of the contributors for submitting their papers for this publication. We are also very grateful for the readers of the papers who suggested changes to the authors and contributed to the high quality of this volume. The success of these proceedings is a cumulative effort from a large number of individuals. We hope that you will enjoy reading the papers in these proceedings and that you can gain some insight for your professional development. Gavin Brooks Mathew Porter Donna Fujimoto Donna Tatsuki May 14, 2015 ii The 2015 PanSIG Journal Message from the conference chairs: All good stories have an ending, and this publication of the 2015 PanSIG Journal marks the successful final closure of the 14th Annual PanSIG Conference held at Kobe City University of Foreign Studies. The theme, “Narratives: Raising the Happiness Quotient” resonated positively throughout the two-day conference with the plenary and featured speakers all demonstrating how stories and storytelling can create successful and happy outcomes in the classroom. There was drama as well, with some doubting that we could pull off a conference in only six months. Having worked at the university for years, we (the Conference Co-Chairs) were familiar with the campus, and, most importantly, the faculty and administrative staff had had experience holding important events, and, thus, had no hesitation in giving their full support to acting as the host institution. Once the decision was made, many SIG leaders and members came on board to work on all the details that are essential for a solid conference. The feedback from many conference goers was favorable, and many loved the idea of exchanging stories of all types. Happily, the conference was quite profitable contributing not only to SIG coffers, but, of course, to their happiness quotient. For some presenters the end of the conference was not yet the end of their efforts, as they continued working on their presentations by submitting articles for these proceedings. During the school year and even during their breaks, they worked closely with the editors revising, sometimes multiple times. All of this collaborative work has paid off, and there is no doubt that with the completion of this 2015 PanSIG Journal the happiness quotient of the writers, the editors, and readers has increased significantly. We congratulate the writers, and we wish to thank everyone who contributed to the conference. It is indeed a great pleasure to see that now these proceedings are a happy reminder of the 2015 PanSIG Conference!

While the literature of be language testing suggests thattests are commonly considered to powerful determiners of whathappens in the classroom, Lheconcept of washback is not well defined.The first part of the discussion focuses on the concept, includingseveral different interpretations of the phenomenon. It isfound to be a far more complextopic than suggested by the basic washbackhypothesis, which is alsodiscussed and outlined. The literature oneducation in general is thenreviewed for additional information on theissues involved. Very little several research was found that directlyrelated to the subject, but studies are highlighted.Following this, empirical research on language testing is consulted forfurther insight. Studies in Turkey, the Netherlands, and Nepal arediscussed. Finally, areas for additional research are proposed,including further definition of washback, motivation and performance,the role of educational explanatory setting, research methodology,learner perceptions, and factors.

  • An Exploration Into What Promotes Or Hinders Beneficial English Test Washback on Teaching and Learning
    Doctor of Education Dissertation Title: AN EXPLORATION INTO WHAT PROMOTES OR HINDERS BENEFICIAL ENGLISH TEST WASHBACK ON TEACHING AND LEARNING By Martin Murray Student number: 0039713437 Principal Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Shirley O’Neill Associate Supervisors: Dr. Sang-Soon Park (from 2012) Dr. Kathryn Young (before 2012) June 2013 Faculty of Education, University of Southern Queensland Abstract Ethical English language testing requires an ongoing effort to improve the quality of English test item design. It also requires the identification of what factors might encourage or obstruct positive washback and impact. The advantages and disadvantages of summative high-stakes English tests compared to feasible alternative forms of assessment should also be considered. For instance, an evaluative review of this research suggests the greater appropriateness of multiple medium-stakes formative English assessments over high-stakes summative English tests for students at the case study school. This case study explores the washback phenomenon and related impact phenomenon at one CMI (Chinese Medium of Instruction) secondary school in Hong Kong in order to find out what promotes or hinders beneficial English test washback and impact on teaching and learning at this school and includes a comparison between a new and a long established high-stakes English test. Another focus of this research is the lower academic performance and lower English language proficiency levels of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds. A total of 256 student participants completed questionnaires; 147 student participants took part in group interviews; and 7 teacher participants took part in individual interviews. A total of 23 lesson observations occurred as well as one English SBA (School-based Assessment) assessing session and one group tutorial.

  • Code-Mixing and Literal Translation in Nepal's English Newspapers
    NELTA Code-Mixing and literal translation in Nepal’s English newspapers Sagar Poudel Tribhuvan University, Nepal Abstract This study examines the texts published in English newspapers in Nepal to find out the code mixing and literal translation of Nepali language. For the study, the data were taken from the secondary sources. Mainly two English newspapers, The Himalayan Times and The Kathmandu Post published in Nepal were taken as the sources of the data purposively. Code mixing is the use of code from one language into another language in the course of using it in communication. Similarly, literal translation is translating the source language text into the target language text with the equivalence of structure, lexicon and morphology. Such code mixing and literal translation brings variation into target language. The study found out that the codes, which are associated with religion, particular culture, local context and situations are mixed with English language. Similarly, the popular expressions among the Nepalese context were found literally translated. Keywords: Code-mixing, literal translation, context, social situation, culture communities are improvised and Introduction marginalized. As a result, linguistic minorities have remained socially Nepal is a multiethnic, multicultural and excluded from harnessing national multilingual country.

  • The Literature of Kita Morio DISSERTATION Presented In
    Insignificance Given Meaning: The Literature of Kita Morio DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Masako Inamoto Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Richard Edgar Torrance Professor Naomi Fukumori Professor Shelley Fenno Quinn Copyright by Masako Inamoto 2010 Abstract Kita Morio (1927-), also known as his literary persona Dokutoru Manbô, is one of the most popular and prolific postwar writers in Japan. He is also one of the few Japanese writers who have simultaneously and successfully produced humorous, comical fiction and essays as well as serious literary works. He has worked in a variety of genres. For example, The House of Nire (Nireke no hitobito), his most prominent work, is a long family saga informed by history and Dr. Manbô at Sea (Dokutoru Manbô kôkaiki) is a humorous travelogue. He has also produced in other genres such as children‟s stories and science fiction. This study provides an introduction to Kita Morio‟s fiction and essays, in particular, his versatile writing styles. Also, through the examination of Kita‟s representative works in each genre, the study examines some overarching traits in his writing. For this reason, I have approached his large body of works by according a chapter to each genre. Chapter one provides a biographical overview of Kita Morio‟s life up to the present. The chapter also gives a brief biographical sketch of Kita‟s father, Saitô Mokichi (1882-1953), who is one of the most prominent tanka poets in modern times.

  • The Criterion: an International Journal in English ISSN-0976-8165
    www.the-criterion.com The Criterion: An International Journal in English ISSN-0976-8165 English in Multilingual and Cross-cultural Context: Exploring Opportunities and Meeting the Challenges Dr Anil S Kapoor Associate Professor Smt. R R H Patel Mahila Arts College Vijapur, Mehsana Gujarat. The proposed paper endeavours to analyse the role of English language in growing economies, like India, and transforming societies like Nepal. It also attempts to establish that English language has become the vehicle of transformation and an objective means to interpret the numerous cross-cultural contexts within the pluralistic societies. The paper proposes that if the linguistic pre-eminence of English, as a foreign language, is maintained it may affect numerous indigenous native languages/paroles and ultimately disturb the traditional fabric of the ancient cultures. The paper does not suggest that the English language should be dissuaded but it surely seeks to endorse the need to promote English as a more acceptable native language, expressing the hue and taste of the region, in any multilingual and cross-cultural context. The English language has flourished and developed in multilingual and cross- cultural environments. It has become the indisputable world language, owing largely to its status as a link language in multilingual and pluralistic societies. The main reasons for the growth of English may be attributed to the rise and fall of the British Colonial rule, the imminent linguistic void in the immediate post colonial era that required a lingua franca to fill the hiatus and in the more resent times the role of English as the language of modernity, Science, technology, knowledge and development.

  • Vol. II Issue IV, Oct. 2013 1 CRITICAL REFLECTIONS on SOUTH ASIAN
    New Academia (Print ISSN 2277-3967) (Online ISSN 2347-2073) Vol. II Issue IV, Oct. 2013 1 CRITICAL REFLECTIONS ON SOUTH ASIAN ENGLISH: A LITERARY PERSPECTIVE Mitul Trivedi Research Scholar H M Patel Institute of English Training and Research Sardar Patel University Vallabh Vidyanagar Anand, Gujarat. INDIA Introduction The subtle investigation into the idea and the ideology of globalization constitutes and is constituted around the scholarly consensus of English language being a global means of communication, representation, reception and comprehension. It has, therefore, been referred to and accepted as ‘world language’ – ‘lingua franca of the modern era’ (David Graddol, 1997). However, it needs to be stressed that globalization of English has fundamentally raised the questions of ‘legitimacy’ and ‘standardization’ of the language. It has been researched and debated over the last few decades whether English can be circumscribed within a British or American form since there are multiple varieties of English languages clearly observable in various different cultural contexts. These are often caused by the constant and continuous language shifts through domesticization/nativization and hybridization as these multiple cultural contexts feed back into the language.The focal point of departure of the present study is to investigate into sociocultural, historical, linguistic and stylistic resonances of English languages in the light of South Asian literature in English. Moreover, the present study aims to examine the contemporary South Asian literature in English not merely as a localized creative constructs but as a representation of ‘South Asianness’ in its textual, contextual as well as conceptual histrionics. The contemporary literary constructs in South Asian region seem to cease, partially though, the depiction of postcolonial thematics; however, they adequately represent their own ‘self’ into the language that it has subtly and necessarily nativized to fulfill its creative impulse.

Many researchers have highlighted the need to explore local vernacular practices, in particular ELT practices in peripheral contexts. The present study investigates events in an English language classroom at a Nepalese public college, using ethnographic observations and interviews. The article describes local practices that have emerged to match the contextual particularities of this classroom. Although localized practices are idiosyncratic, they have coherence within the macrocosm of language teacher education. Vernacular practices and local knowledge are under-represented in both ELT theories and language teacher education. The findings of the study will help understand classroom teaching practice and competence of teachers in ‘peripheral’ contexts as well as help raise ‘relevant doubts and questions’ (Bowers, 1986, p. 407) regarding established ELT theories and practices. Keywords Centre and periphery, English language teaching, ethnographic research, local pedagogy, peripheral participation, social context, vernacular practices I Introduction The global spread of English and English language teaching (ELT) to much of the world has stimulated increased attention to social context, and the need to understand how English is learnt and taught in diverse contexts.
