Regret is a mental and psychological state, a natural feeling; a feeling of sadness that a person experiences when he realizes the consequences of a bad thing he did or a decision he made. Regret expressions in the Glorious Qur’an vary according to the situational contexts and to the extent to which the experiencer is undergoing; however, these expressions seem have to some degree the same deep structure since they all reflect the meaning of regret. This leads to the fact that regret expressions offer a fertile field of study where the deep meaning of such expressions is one but reflected in various linguistic forms in the surface structure. This paper hypothesizes that regret expressions in the Glorious Qur’an are of different categories; however, they share the same deep structure and can be expressed directly and indirectly via different linguistic expressions. Accordingly, this paper aims at verifying these hypotheses by adopting Searle’s model (1971) of speech act theory. The data analyzed consist of eight selected Qur’anic texts. The analysis is achieved by interpreting the Qur’anic text, showing the type of regret, then decide the type of the speech acts found in these texts. The results of analysis and the conclusions prove the viability of the model adopted, verify the hypotheses, and achieve the aims of the study. Studying the speech act of regret can have important pedagogical implications for language learning and communication. By developing their pragmatic competence, critical thinking skills, and emotional intelligence, EFL learners can become more effective communicators and responsible members of their communities.

Code-switching is a hot-button issue for many EFL classes. It is related to the impact of the students' first language on the foreign language they learn. The purpose of this research is to examine and demonstrate instructors' attitudes toward code-switching in EFL classes in Iraq. A 15-items questionnaire with three sections is designed and distributed to the instructors. The questionnaire responses are weighted; and percentages are calculated using the SPSS program. The findings indicate that instructors have a favorable opinion about the majority of question items. Attitudes of EFL instructors toward code-switching are consistent, with a moderate level of agreement with reference to access to the subject matter. The instructors' attitudes toward classroom management are poor in the second section. There is little agreement among faculty members on the third section, which deals with interpersonal ties. Dissimilarities in attitudes exist when it comes to a few questions. Because of these inconsistencies, code-switching in EFL classrooms should be changed to match the real teaching methods.

The current study is an attempt to analyze discourse from the CDA perspective. The study aims at answering the following questions: How language use in Trump’s and Alsisi’s speech affected people? Do their speeches have positive or negative implication for the Egyptians people? And what are the discursive strategies used in their speeches?To answer these questions, the study hypothesizes that speakers use different strategies, argumentation and historical background to express their ideologies to listeners to have their supports. Also, it is hypothesized that English and Arabic speakers differ in the ways they make use of these materials.Wodak’s model (1999); the historical discourse approach (DHA), has been chosen to be the model adopted to analyze the data selected. Accordingly, two speeches of the former presidents; Abdul Fatah Assisi, in Khartoum-Sudan in March 6, 2021 and Donald Trump the former president of the United States of America, on Oct 23, 2020 about Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam are selected to be the data of this study. Concentration is going to be on the components of the historic approach including the strategies, the topos, the context and the historical background. Each discourse is analyzed according to these components. At last, the current study finds out that Trump as a speaker uses more topos of danger and that Assisi uses more reference strategy a conclusion which unveils the hidden ideologies of the speakers that Trump is more confident, more powerful and impetuous than Assisi who seems less confident, less powerful and careful in choosing his words.

The present study deals with Christopher Isherwood’s manipulation of the concept of rebellion in his novel Goodbye to Berlin (1939). The Isherwoodian novel depicts various stages of rebellion against the chaos of values, the middle-class conventions and against the authoritative moral standards that make certain forms of conduct appear right.The aim of this research is to trace Isherwood’s experimentation with the concept of rebellion; the forms he introduces into it change the conventional understanding of rebellion from a punishable law-breaking act into an instrument to deal with the difficult problems then to raise man to the occasion. Isherwood proves that rebellion is a constructive, not destructive, act whose role necessitates the improvement of the state and the individual.

Writing, as a productive skill, is multidimensional. When EFL students have qualified written language, they will be able to convey their ideas and express themselves effectively. The quality of writing: complexity, accuracy and fluency play a significant role in the language of EFL students. It promotes their different linguistic knowledge which enriches the foreign language learning process. The present study aims at identifying and comparing:1. The quality of writing the descriptive composition for EFL university students at the colleges of education in the two universities: Tikrit and Samarra.2. The quality of writing descriptive composition in the light of the three principal dimensions:A. Complexity, B. Accuracy, C. Fluency.The participants are 185 undergraduate EFL students, in the third year English Departments, Colleges of Education, Universities of Tikrit, and Samarra. The study is conducted during the second semester of the academic year 2021-2022. The data have been gathered by using a diagnostic test to assess students’ quality of writing: complexity, accuracy and fluency in writing descriptive essays. The results of the study reveal that EFL university students have a low quality of writing.

This paper tackles the difficulties faced by translators while trying to communicate the pragmatic aspects of speech acts containing politeness strategies. Also, it gives a brief account of the speech act theory introduced by Austin (1962) and developed by Searle (1979). The study further presents the cross-cultural concept of politeness; the basic facts about the politeness theory and the relationship between politeness and translation. Twelve selected texts were translated by four subject translators. Their performances were analyzed and discussed depending on the politeness strategies of Searle model of speech acts (1979) and Brown and Levinson (1987). This study aims at drawing attention to the pragmatic dimensions in the translation of politeness formulas. The scope of study is limited to the politeness strategies in the social English interactions and translations of these speech acts into Arabic. The research mainly concludes that translators do care about conveying the pragmatic aspects in translating the politeness formulas into Arabic.
