Climate Change: Water Pollution in Chad and the Need for Clean Water Intervention
No full textWater pollution is a rampant problem in Chad, where 48% of its population lacks clean water. While the rest access daily supplies from contaminated sources. Adding to this lack of clean water is the lack of awareness over the illegal dumping taking place by 72% of the population directly in the 3rd and 9th districts. It is an ecological catastrophe that has led to terrible consequences, including rising rates of waterborne diseases and crop destruction, thus promoting food insecurity. Despite all these urgent needs, there are not enough clean water interventions available for Chad\u27s people. On the contrary, the United States interventions are supported by advanced filtration technologies and long-term public policies controlling water quality requirements. From this comparison, the experience of people living in Chad can benefit from education in legal dumping of solids and corrective measures towards the prevention of new methods to clean water. Therefore, this research aims to advocate for the development of water management interventions, encourage international collaboration towards technology transferring, and enhance enforcement policies to reduce contamination. While bringing awareness to the demanding change for legal dumping of waste. Through these partnerships, stakeholders can establish lasting long-term solutions for expanding access to clean water
My Internship: UNI Museum
Full text linkIn the process of this internship, I think I have learned a lot of things with conservation, but the biggest thing that this internship changed is my attitude toward objects. I am significantly more comfortable with historical objects now than when I started. I am now comfortable holding and handling objects without being overly cautious and paranoid
Investigating Pronunciation Teaching Practices and Teachers’ Beliefs about Pronunciation Instruction in EFL/ESL Classrooms
Full text linkThis literature review aims to explore existing research on pronunciation teaching practices and teachers’ beliefs about pronunciation instruction in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms. To achieve this, I will first delve into teacher cognition research, intending to find current reported and actual practices surrounding pronunciation teaching. The importance of pronunciation instruction has been widely discussed and acknowledged by scholars in applied linguistics and teacher education programs. Various studies have identified pronunciation instruction as a key component for fostering effective oral communication skills in second language acquisition, specifically enhancing intelligibility (i.e., accuracy of understanding) and comprehensibility (i.e., easiness of understanding) over nativelikeness (see Derwing & Munro, 2009; 2015; Levis, 2005; Sardegna & Jarosz, 2023). Furthermore, scholars have made significant recommendations regarding effective practices for equipping teachers to deliver pronunciation instruction effectively in ESL/EFL classrooms. These recommendations not only address teachers’ pedagogical practices but also their underlying beliefs about pronunciation (Gordon & Darcy, 2024; Jarosz, 2023; Pennington, 2021). By synthesizing these insights, this review seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how teachers navigate the complexities of pronunciation instruction and the implications for both teacher training and learner outcomes. This will be possible by answering the following research questions:
1. What are the pronunciation teaching practices that exist in ESL/EFL classrooms?
2. What are EFL/ESL teachers’ beliefs about pronunciation teaching?
3. To what extent are EFL/ESL teachers trained to teach pronunciation
