- PublicationExploring Translation Errors, Strategies And Perceptions In Chinese- To-English Translations Of Csis In Hong Loumeng(2025-09)Wang, QiufenThis dissertation investigates the translation of Culture-Specific Items from Chinese into English in Hong Lou Meng, utilizing a triangulation method that combines text analysis with feedback from translators and readers. Framed by Peter Newmark’s cultural classifications, Vinay and Darbelnet’s translation strategies, House’s Revised Translation Quality Assessment Model, and Justa Holz-Mänttäri’s Translatorial Action Theory, this study analyzes two English translations of Hong Lou Meng. It identifies and classifies 200 CSIs through Newmark’s framework, revealing how cultural elements are handled in translation.
- PublicationA Critical Discourse Analysis Of Ideological Impact On The Selected Translation Of Qur’an Verses By George Sale(2025-09)Mousa, Safa Abdallah Hasan AbuThis study undertakes a comprehensive analysis of ideological traces in George Sale’s English translation of selected Qur’anic verses, drawn from Chapters Al-Baqarah, An-Nisa’, An-Nahl, Al-Anbiya’, and Al-Ahzab. Anchored in House’s Translation Quality Assessment model (2014) and Van Dijk’s Theory of Ideology (2006), the research is driven by four principal questions focused on how linguistic choices reveal and reinforce ideology. By integrating analysis across textual, lexical, syntactic, and contextual dimensions including communicative purpose, participant roles, and discourse mode the study illuminates how Sale’s translation consistently employs lexical substitutions, interpretive paraphrasing, and structural shifts. These strategies significantly reshape the semantic and pragmatic nuance of the source text.
- PublicationThe Effect Of Using Improv Cards And Feedback In Role-Playing On Spoken Production, Motivation, And Attitudes Among Efl Libyan Undergraduates(2025-08)Aljngawi, Rabaa Said MohamedIn the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, particularly in regions such as Libya where English is not the native language, engaging students and improving their speaking skills remains a significant challenge. Traditional methods often fail to motivate students effectively or develop their communicative abilities in real-world contexts. This mixed-method study addresses these challenges by exploring the effects of integrating Improv Cards and personalized feedback within role-playing techniques on the speaking skills, motivation, and attitudes of Libyan undergraduate students enrolled in EFL courses. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research combines quantitative and qualitative methods to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of these pedagogical strategies.
- PublicationUntrained Orang Asli Preschool Teachers’ Beliefs And Practices In Teaching English To Orang Asli Preschoolers(2025-07)Rosman, Nur `Ainin SofiyaThis mixed-methods study explores the beliefs and practices of untrained Orang Asli preschool teachers (n=12) regarding English language teaching for Orang Asli preschoolers in five NGO-run preschools (will be referred to as NGO X and NGO Y) in Perak, Malaysia. By integrating quantitative data from questionnaires and classroom observations with qualitative insights from focus group discussions, the findings reveal a strong consensus among teachers on the importance of early English education for academic and career opportunities. However, challenges such as limited English proficiency, inadequate resources, and communication barriers hinder effective teaching. Teachers employ both traditional methods (e.g., repetitive drills) and interactive strategies (e.g., games, songs), yet discrepancies between their beliefs and practices arise: despite valuing interactive approaches, classroom observations showed inconsistent implementation due to low confidence and insufficient training.
- PublicationEvaluation Of Lexico – Semantic Features Of Khayyam’s Quatrains: Comparative Analysis Of Human Translation, Google Translate, And Targoman(2025-12)Sharabiani, Mohammad Amin Ebrahimi FardThis research conducted a comparative and descriptive analysis of lexico-semantic translatability errors in Khayyam's Quatrains (1120) using two online translation machines, Targoman and Google Translate. Fitzgerald's (1859) human translation served as a benchmark. The study adopted a mixed-methods approach, employing both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The objectives were to evaluate the quality of Khayyam's quatrains (1120) translated by Google Translate and Targoman using House's (1997) overt/covert model and Liao's (2010) classification of error types and to compare the frequency of lexico-semantic errors with human translations.
