Extending vocabulary the fun way / Ho Chui Chui
No full textReading and listening are good ways to acquire a strong vocabulary. However, language teachers can and should play an important role in helping learners to increase their vocabulary store. Unfortunately, not enough emphasis is placed on vocabulary teaching in the language classroom nowadays. Many English language practitioners seem to stress the importance of grammatical knowledge and view the acquisition of vocabulary as incidental. The author feels that the teaching and learning of both structure and lexis are equally important to achieve communicative efficiency. She shares some of her ideas on the use of language
activities to build learners' word power in fun and meaningful ways
Diplomatic visits of commodore M. Perry to Liu Chui island in 1852 and 1853 and its international repercussions
No full textThe article highlights the diplomatic mission of the American Commodore M. Perry to Liu Chui Islands, during the large-scale military expedition of the US Navy Fleet to Japan in 1852 – 1853. The publication of official documents related to the mission of M. Perry, memoirs and travel notes of the members` of that expedition were used as the information source. The author believes that the main purpose of Perry’s visit to Liu Chui Island was dictated by the desire to open the Island to American trade, and in the prospect, to bring the Island into subjection of the US protectorate. Perry has used a range of methods to implement these tasks, from pure diplomacy to direct pressure using the armed assault. As a result, the Commodore succeeded, and the Island, despite the protests of the local authorities in 1853, was opened to foreign trade. This action allowed US to become the second of the most powerful countries in East Asia after the United Kingdom. The process of establishing the contacts between the leader of the expedition and the local authorities of the Island has been examined, as well as the conducted negotiations during the first (1852) and second (1853) Perry`s visits to the capital of the archipelago – the city of Nappa, which resulted in opening this Island to Western trade. For a long time the local governor has been dragging out the negotiations process, but he had to agree to the US’ terms, after the US marines seized his palace up. The United States had an opportunity to trade on Liu Chui Island, purchase the coal for their ships, so as they got freedom of movement across its territory. However, after two decades, the United States abandoned the claims to the Islands. The reasons for this are to be investigated by the author in his following research works
Are undergraduates able to identify instances of plagiarism? / Ho Chui Chui
No full textThis paper reports the findings from a survey on plagiarism that the author conducted among students pursuing a law foundation programme. They were administered a questionnaire with ten statements. Students were asked to identify the statements they considered as instances of plagiarism. Although a majority of the participants were able to identify most cases of plagiarism, almost half (47%) did not identify paraphrasing materials in their own
words without citing the source of information as an example of plagiarism. In addition, summarising materials without indicating the source is not considered as an act of plagiarism by as many as 61% of the respondents. It is concluded that some students are probably plagiarising their assignments because they are unclear as to what constitutes plagiarism

Sensitization of Hep3B hepatoma Cells to Cisplatin and Doxorubicin by Corilagin.
No full textThe anticancer action of gallotannins is a well-developed topic. We have demonstrated the in vivo antitumour activity of corilagin on Hep3B hepatoma using the xenograft athymic nude mice model. Here, we further report the potential sensitization of Hep3B hepatoma cells to cisplatin and doxorubicin by corilagin. Our results showed that corilagin is able to enhance the cytotoxicity of both cisplatin and doxorubicin on the Hep3B hepatoma cells. We speculate the possible use of corilagin in combination with low dosages of the anticancer chemotherapeutic standard drugs like cisplatin and doxorubicin, with the aim of obtaining an increment in the anticancer effect.
