Our study aims to investigate ways in which he responds to others’ positioning and repositions himself to fit in a particular circumstance under certain dominant power. The results show five domains of identities that may be subject to negotiation: linguistic, ethnic, cultural, role, and social identities. We argue that in colonial Indonesia some identities are negotiable while others are forcefully imposed. Kwee’s translingual practice performed both in writing and in daily life has acquired him a space to fully express his non-negotiable identities. Our study shows how his translingual practice serves as a mediational tool to better negotiate identities, especially in a multilingual environment.

The student’s engagement in revising their writing draft can be seen from the interactions between the teacher and the students or among the students.

It specifically aims at analyzing the constituent structure of sentence types in Surah Qaf English translation by Muhammad Taqiudin Al Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan. More particularly, this research sets out to identify the sentence types found in the translation and analyze them at the syntactic level. The data for this research are taken from al-quran.info.com, the trusted site for Qur'an online translation and commentary. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Based on the analysis, the findings indicate that four sentence types (declarative, imperative, exclamatory, and interrogative) appear in the Surah Qaf English translation with different number of occurrences. This research is also conducted to find out the constituent structure of each sentence type. The results also show that each sentence type has a distinctive pattern of constituent and grammatical structure.

Hypertension is a risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, kidney failure, and stroke. Most people with hypertension do not know that they are hypertensive, so they tend not to get proper treatment. The factors that influence the occurrence of hypertension are divided into two major groups, namely, those that cannot be controlled such as gender, age, genetic properties and race, and those that can be controlled such as diet, exercise habits, employment, consumption of salt, coffee, alcohol and stress. The study aims to determine the triggering factors associated with hypertension. Material and methods: This type of quantitative research using descriptive correlation study method was conducted on individuals aged over 18 years in the city of Kendal, Central Java, amounting to 428 people. The sample was pooled employing purposive sampling technique. The data was collected using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed univariably in the form of frequency distribution and bivariately using the c 2 test. Results: The results show that the majority of the respondents with hypertension were those aged 51-60 years, male, and working as fishermen. In this regard, there are a factor of hypertension, obesity in the moderate category, and stage III hypertension. In addition, there is a relationship between the triggering factors of hypertension (age, gender, employment, heredity, obesity) and the incidence of hypertension (p value < 0.005). Conclusion: Triggering factors related to hypertension include age, gender, employment, heredity, and obesity level.

It compared the effect of direct feedback with indirect feedback on students' written work dictated by their teacher from Chicken Soup for the Mother and Daughter Soul. The study was conducted at the gifted girls' high school in Saveh, Iran. A sample of 56 high school sophomores was randomly assigned to two equal groups of 28. Group 1 (the direct feedback group) and Group 2 (the indirect feedback group) were treated differently regarding their spelling errors for five weeks. Statistical analysis based on GLMRM test revealed that indirect feedback was more effective than direct feedback in rectifying students' spelling errors.

The reflections are made on the basis of our experiences of teaching the course, the main challenge of which centres on students’ wronged perception of what poetry is; students tend to have an entrenched idea that poetry must be perplexing. The reflections have led us to a teaching strategy which we call “prosing poem.” Applying the strategy, we help students by providing made-up prosaic forms of the poems. This strategy has proven to help demystify students’ idea on poetry as a difficult subject. It allows students to unpack the poetic texts in a less daunting way as they can rely on their English mastery without having cognitive block.

Through a series of in-depth interviews and thorough observations, this study explored a Linguistic Subject teacher’s experience in implementing an online assessment using a Learning Media System (LMS) application called Microsoft Teams. The use of the Microsoft Teams Application helped to improve efficiency in uploading the files of students’ assignments, correcting and giving feedback to their works. However, based on the interviews, some obstacles were found during the teaching, learning and evaluation process. These include network problems, shorter time of classes and massive collusion among students make the students’ performance in doing their assignments do not always reflect their understanding and ability. While network problems and shorter face to face interaction often hinder the teaching and learning process as well as the assessment of students’ act...
