Maaz Shaikh Collection
No full textThis is a video recording of a conversation between Nazneen Shaikh — a semi-speaker of the Azamgarhi language — and Safwan Shaikh, a native Azamgarhi speaking child. Safwan is practicing writing the Arabic alphabet on a wooden writing board as homework given by his Maulānā of the Madrasāh. Nazneen seems interested in this and keenly observes his writing while making a video of him. She asks a few questions to Safwan and directs him. Safwan — still a beginner — struggles with writing and messes up while each time laughing at his own mistakes. Nazneen guides him through. Finally, the disconnection of the electricity supply puts an end to the video
Six Techniques and Tools to Maximize Student Learning in the ESOL Classroom
No full textThis paper is an analysis of six techniques and tools for ESOL teachers to use with any content, at any level, to maximize their students\u27 learning. They follow four principles which Nazneen Rahman has adapted from the Silent Way, a language-teaching approach developed by Caleb Gattegno. These principles constitute the author\u27s criteria for effective teaching practice: reduce teacher talk time; reduce teacher presentation time; increase student practice time; and provide practice in a ll four skills of English. The author first recounts her introduction to each technique and describes its use in detail, based on her actual classroom experience and that of her colleagues. She then reflects on how these techniques impact student learning and relates them to the four principles. In this paper, her intention is to share what she has learned with other teachers and to inspire them to try these techniques with their own students
Monica Alis Brick Lane: A tale of two cities or How Nazneen left her fate
No full textO objetivo desta dissertação é analisar o romance Brick Lane (2003), da escritora Monica Ali, focalizando o processo de empoderamento da protagonista Nazneen. Usando os conceitos de lugar e não-lugar propostos por Marc Augé, pretendo examinar passagens do romance que caracterizem a sensação de não-pertencimento vivida pela personagem. Nazneen recorre às memórias de sua infância com a irmã Hasina em Bangladesh para tentar se distanciar do espaço físico de Brick Lane (a comunidade onde reside em Londres), que se constitui em um não-lugar, pois ali não é possível reconstruir sua identidade fragmentada pelo deslocamento de uma cultura para outra. Considerando aspectos históricos e culturais de Bangladesh, terra natal de Nazneen, este trabalho pretende discutir as experiências da protagonista e de outros sujeitos diaspóricos do romance, além de analisar o papel crucial que Hasina (e suas cartas) desempenham na narrativa. O atual contexto multicultural e cosmopolita da cidade de Londres também será investigado, com a discussão de situações que afetam os imigrantes e suas representações no romance. Esta dissertação também considera o caráter gendrado dos movimentos migratórios contemporâneos que possibilitam novas perspectivas acerca das consequências da diáspora. A análise de passagens selecionadas do romance ratifica o processo gradual de autonomia de Nazneen que, por fim, consegue se sentir em casa novamenteThe objective of this dissertation is to analyze the novel Brick Lane (2003), by Monica Ali, focusing on the process of empowerment of the protagonist Nazneen. By making use of the concepts of place and non-place proposed by Marc Augé, I intend to examine passages from the novel that characterize the feeling of not-belonging experienced by the character. Nazneen resorts to the memories of her childhood with her sister Hasina in Bangladesh in order to escape the physical space of Brick Lane, which is a non-place for Nazneen, who is unable to reconstruct her identity fragmented in the process of dislocation from one culture to another. Considering the historical and cultural aspects of Bangladesh, Nazneens homeland, this work intends to discuss the experiences of the protagonist and other diasporic subjects in the novel as well as to analyze the crucial role played by Hasina (and her letters) in the narrative. The present multicultural and cosmopolitan context of London will also be investigated, with a discussion of real situations affecting immigrants and their representations in the novel. This dissertation also considers the gendered nature of contemporary migratory movements which offer new perspectives on the consequences of diaspora. I will also analyze selected passages from the novel that highlight the gradual process of autonomy experienced by Nazneen who, eventually, feels at home agai
Exploring The Relationship Between Gender Discrimination and Job Satisfaction: A Perceived Discrimination Perspective
No full text<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The impact of perceived discrimination is the main topic of this study, which examines the connection between gender discrimination and job satisfaction. In addition to addressing the widespread gender prejudice in the workplace, the study looks at how job happiness is affected by discriminatory beliefs. Employers from a variety of industries provide data using quantitative methodologies, which evaluate gender, perceived discrimination, and job happiness. The detrimental impacts of gender discrimination on job satisfaction are revealed by statistical analyses, which are mediated by discrimination perceptions. Finding moderating factors in this relationship is the goal of the study. In order to address gender bias, implications direct inclusive strategies for businesses and policymakers. The research reveals complex relationships between gender discrimination, perceived discrimination, and job happiness, adding to our understanding of psychology. The study, which included 54 Government Girls High Schools with 270 teachers apiece, demonstrates that female teachers have a favorable attitude about their jobs, which affects their motivation, commitment, and student outcomes. This study adds to our understanding of the job satisfaction of Pakistani female teachers working in public schools in Lahore.</p>

Phonological development in Swahili a descriptive, cross-sectional study of typically developing pre-schoolers in Tanzania
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.Swahili is widely spoken in East African countries, but to date there are no culturally and linguistically appropriate materials available for speech language therapists working in the region. The challenges of assessing and managing Swahili speaking children with speech difficulties are further exacerbated by the limited research available on the typical acquisition of Swahili phonology. This exploratory study aimed to describe the phonological development of 24 typically-developing first language Swahili speaking children between the ages of 3;0 and 5;11 years in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. A cross-sectional design was used with six groups of four children in six month age bands

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
