Translanguaging and Speaking Development among Low-Proficiency ESL Undergraduates
In multilingual or bilingual ESL or EFL settings, translanguaging maintains its significant position and is gaining attention among recent language learning approaches. Therefore, in university classrooms, specifically focusing on undergraduate students, this study examines how translanguaging practices influence the speaking skills of low-proficiency ESL learners in the Pakistani educational context. This study uses a quantitative quasi-experime…
A conceptual model for assessing student knowledge development in English lesson and learning studies
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how the teacher’s perceived value of student knowledge assessment (PVSKA) influences student knowledge development (SKD) in lessons and learning studies. It also explores the mediating roles of assessment approaches and methods (AAM) and assessment context (AC) in shaping this relationship. Design/methodology/approach The research is based on data collected from 558 English teachers participating in…
Rendering Culture-Specific Items (CSIs) in Translating Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman From English Into Arabic
This paper examines the process of translating culture-specific items (CSIs) from English into Arabic in the Nigerian play Death and the King’s Horseman by the Nobel Prize laureate Wole Soyinka. Anglophone African literary texts, particularly those rooted in indigenous belief systems and oral traditions, present unique challenges for translators due to their dense cultural and linguistic layers. Research on English–Arabic translation has largely …
Evaluating Large Language Models and Neural Machine Translation Systems in Translating Liaozhaizhiyi
Neural machine translation has demonstrated strong performance in high-resource languages and commercial translation contexts. However, its effectiveness in translating classical Chinese literature remains insufficiently examined. This study conducts a comparative evaluation of three translation systems—ChatGPT, Google Translate, and Youdao Translate—using selected texts from Liaozhaizhiyi as the research corpus. The analysis focuses on four dime…
Language Anxiety as a Perceived Central Factor in ESL Speaking Difficulties

Translator’s Style in Fiction Translation
This research aims to comprehensively analyze the Translator's Style in fiction translation to enhance the understanding of its influence on the quality and effectiveness of translated fiction. The systematic literature review was conducted by extracting relevant content from four databases: Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Google Scholar. The removed material was then analyzed and synthesized based on a predefined set of rules and criteria. Th…
Exploring the Relationship Between Translators’ Styles and Translation Competence
This study investigates the relationship between Translators’ Styles and Translation Competence (TC) by examining five English translations of The True Story of Ah Q. The five translators are George Kin Leung, Chi-Chen Wang, Yang Xianyi & Gladys_Yang, William Lyell, and Julia Lovell. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research utilises the Multidimensional Analysis Tagger (MAT) for quantitative analysis and the PACTE model framework for quali…
Understanding the Future of the Environmentally-friendly Batik Industry in Malaysia
Recently, the concept of environmental-friendly has been introduced for batik entrepreneurs, where they are encouraged to produce batik that uses natural dye to minimise threats to environmental safety. Although concerning this issue, there is limited literature available on this subject in the context of Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims to narrow the gap in this field by addressing the following objectives: to examine the knowledge and accep…

The Multidimensional Analysis of the Translator Style in English Translations of The True Story of Ah Q
This research investigates the characteristics of the translator style in five English translations of The True Story of Ah Q, with particular attention paid to lexicons, syntax and overall text structure. The primary goal is to examine patterns between translation versions as well as identify subtle variances that exist among translation versions. By employing Multidimensional Analysis techniques, we delve deeper into the concept of Translator S…
Investigating the Impact of Derivational Morphology in Foreign Language Acquisition
Background and Purpose: Second language (L2) learners have been observed making generation errors, i.e., derivational morphology, in the prospects of learning another language by translating it into their mother tongue. This research has studied these errors in L2 regarding derivational morphology. Methodology: This study was designed as descriptive research, using a quantitative approach to collect data. The respondents in this research are a to…
Like That Lah
Native-like English use is often considered the standard to be achieved, in contrast to non-native English use. Nonetheless, localised English varieties abound in many societies and the growth or decline of any language variety commonly depends on how it is perceived; for instance, as a mere tool for functionality or as a prized cultural badge, and only its users can offer us insights into this. The thrust of the present study falls in line with …
Using Facebook for English Language Learning
