Exploring Dickens’ Stylistics : Pedagogical Strategies for Enhancing Literature Teaching and Learning

This study explores the impact of incorporating the stylistic method and diverse pedagogical approaches on students' understanding and appreciation of literary works, specifically focusing on the works of Charles Dickens. This research used a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative methods such as observation, surveys, and text analysis with quantitative methods involving statistical analysis. The quasi-experimental design selected undergraduate students purposively based on their literary background, with Charles Dickens' notable works serving as key resources. Pre and post-tests are administered to experimental and control groups to measure the impact of language style instruction. Results indicate that the experimental group, exposed to language style teaching, outperforms the control group in post-teaching comprehension tests. Studies show that teaching students about language styles helps them unlock the meaning of literature. Questionnaire data demonstrate high student satisfaction, increased confidence, improved critical thinking, and enhanced analytical abilities. The adaptability of Dickens's novels to various learning styles contributes to a more inclusive learning environment.

Foreword

Translation and literary studies are two interconnected fields that explore the intricate relationship between languages, cultures, and literature. While translation focuses on the act of transferring a text from one language to another, literary studies delve into the analysis, interpretation, and appreciation of literary works. The interconnections between those two similar yet different areas lie in the fact they both complement one another or rely on each other, offering valuable insights into the complexities of language, culture, and literature. Together, they illuminate the transformative power of translation and the profound impact it has on our understanding and appreciation of literary traditions across languages and cultures.

Польсько-український переклад експресивно-емоцiйної лексики в оповіданнях із циклу Відьмак Анджея Сапковського

The article deals with the study of expressive and emotional vocabulary in the translation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s stories about the Witcher, which was carried out by Serhiy Legeza and is relevant in connection with the growing interest in the author’s work among Ukrainian readers. This popular literary series is known for its complex plot, multi‑‑layered characters and emotionally charged scenes. Studying the ways of conveying emotionally colored vocabulary in the Ukrainian language makes it possible to better understand the characteristics and functions of these expressions in the text. The purpose of the study is to analyze the ways in which the translator chooses appropriate words, grammatical constructions, and stylistic techniques for the transfer of emotionally colored vocabulary from Polish to Ukrainian. It is important to identify the main difficulties that translators face in this process, as well as to analyze strategies for solving these problems. The results of the study emphasize the importance of careful analysis and the translator’s creative approach to the emotionally charged texts. Taking into account the context and stylistic features of the original text helps to achieve the most accurate and expressive translation. Such an analysis contributes to the development of a cultural and linguistic community, contributing to a better understanding and appreciation of literary works.

Emotion Expression in Modern Literary Appreciation: An Emotion-Based Analysis.

BackgroundModern literary appreciation seems to be reading literary works phenomenally. In fact, appreciation is not a general reading, which has an important difference from general reading. It is the identification and appreciation of literary works and a complex spiritual activity for people to feel, understand, and imagine literary and artistic works. At the same time, literary appreciation is also a cognitive activity, an aesthetic activity, and a re-creation activity.MethodIn this paper, the machine learning algorithm was creatively used to classify the emotions of figures in modern literary works, to analyze the emotions of the figures that the writer wanted to depict in modern literary works.ResultsExperimental results verify the accuracy of the emotion classification method through experiments, which is helpful for us to better understand the emotion expression in modern literary works.

Testimony and Engagement: Towards a Re-assessment of the Distinction between Fiction and Non-Fiction in Literary Narratives This article approaches the cognitive value of literary works from the perspective of the distinction between fiction and non-fiction. This examination takes as a starting point the philosophy of Peter Lamarque who bases the distinction between fiction and non-fiction on the intention of the author. I question this position from the perspective of the reader’s experience of a literary text. I argue that the distinction between fiction and non-fiction plays a major role in our appreciation of literary works, but that the intention of the author is not sufficient to account for it. In order to assess the relevance of the distinction between fiction and non-fiction in the reader’s experience of literary narratives, I introduce the notions of testimony and engagement. Testimony narratives are considered to be non-fiction, narratives of engagement are not. In analyzing some aspects of the stories If This Is a Man (Primo Levi), Nausea (Jean-Paul Sartre) and Identitti (Mithu Sanyal), I show that testimony and engagement are both involved, however in different ways, in the reader’s appreciation of these stories.

Representasi Re-Experiencing, Avoidance, dan Hyperarousal of Mental Health dalam Novel Lanang

Man can express the state of their souls through literary works, and Man also gain experience of their souls by reading and appreciating literary works. This paper aims to see a description of trauma symptoms related to the mental health of Lanang figures, in the Lanang Novel by Yonathan Rahardjo. The inner conflict of the characters in this novel represents the symptoms of trauma resulting in mental health disorders. It is important to know that novel readers can understand mental health issues through the appreciation of literary works. This novel study uses the contentanalysis method and literary psychoanalysis approach carried out to describe psychological problems, especially related to mental health disorders in Novel Lanang. The results of the analysis show that the symptoms of trauma can be shown through three things, namely: 1) Re-experiencing or intrusion is the reappearance of a traumatic event in the self (flashback), 2) Avoidance is an uncomfortable or painful feeling that makes him try to avoid so as not too experienced a traumatic event. 3) Hyperarousal is excessive anxiety experienced by sufferers causing him to feel in a state of being threatened or a constant danger. These three things are reflected in the character of Lanang. The description of trauma symptoms in this novel can be used as an initial experience to understand mental health issues. Literary works can also be a source of knowledge about the state of human psychology.

The role of empirical methods in investigating readers’ constructions of authorial creativity in literary reading

The popularity of literary biographies and the importance publishers place on author publicity materials suggest the concept of an author’s creative intentions is important to readers’ appreciation of literary works. However, the question of how this kind of contextual information informs literary interpretation is contentious. One area of dispute concerns the extent to which readers’ constructions of an author’s creative intentions are text-centred and therefore can adequately be understood by linguistic evidence alone. The current study shows how the relationship between linguistic and contextual factors in readers’ constructions of an author’s creative intentions may be investigated empirically. We use eye-tracking to determine whether readers’ responses to textual features (changes to lexis and punctuation) are affected by prior, extra-textual prompts concerning information about an author’s creative intentions. We showed participants pairs of sentences from Oscar Wilde and Henry James while monitoring their eye movements. The first sentence was followed by a prompt denoting a different attribution (Authorial, Editorial/Publisher and Typographic) for the change that, if present, would appear in the second sentence. After reading the second sentence, participants were asked whether they had detected a change and, if so, to describe it. If the concept of an author’s creative intentions is implicated in literary reading this should influence participants’ reading behaviour and ability to accurately report a change based on the prompt. The findings showed that readers’ noticing of textual variants was sensitive to the prior prompt about its authorship, in the sense of producing an effect on attention and re-reading times. But they also showed that these effects did not follow the pattern predicted of them, based on prior assumptions about readers’ cultures. This last finding points to the importance, as well as the challenges, of further investigating the role of contextual information in readers’ constructions of an author’s creative intentions.

NARROW READING IN AN EXTENSIVE READING COURSE: LEXICALLY-BASED

One shot case study was conducted in one semester to undergraduate English majors who were preparing themselves to become English teachers at high school level. This study was to find out whether or not students had positive attitudes towards narrow reading, how high narrow reading helped them improve their English proficiency, and what problems students might have with narrow reading. Four questionnaires were completed during the case study to discover how students felt and thought about the course and how the course improved their English. It was found out that narrow reading not only improved students’ language proficiency but also helped students develop their general knowledge, the love of reading and the appreciation of literary work.

‘The Poet from the Periphery’: Derek Walcott, Prestige and Literary Centrality

In 1985, seven years before Derek Walcott was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, Sven Birkerts hailed the Caribbean poet as a prodigious talent. Expressing admiration for his literary ‘craftsmanship’, Birkerts concluded a review of Walcott’s work by suggesting that this poet’s evident ability might prompt a reconfiguration of assumptions about dominant literary realms. ‘He is the outsider’, Birkerts asserts, ‘the poet from the periphery, but it may be time to centre the compass at his position and draw the circle again’. 1 Throughout the review, Birkerts uses tropes of ‘periphery’ and ‘centre’ to clarify his opinion of Walcott’s capacity to ‘redraw’ conventional Western assumptions about literary boundaries. However, although he proposes a radical re-centring of the literary ‘compass’ in order to position Walcott as the focal point of a prestigious ‘circle’ of literary excellence, Birkerts’s comments do not challenge the idea of a literary sphere divisible into cultural and economic ‘centres’ and ‘peripheries’. Instead his analysis clings to the conventions of what Timothy Brennan has called a ‘centre/periphery model’ 2 of world literary space, promoting a perception of the Caribbean region as external to established systems for the production and appreciation of literary works, while portraying Walcott as a figure whose unusual talent might allow him to transcend the perceived limitations of his region and emerge as a new ‘centre’ on a world literary stage. Birkerts’s characterization of Derek Walcott as a ‘central’ poet from a ‘peripheral’ region provides a conceptual starting-point for this article, which considers how conventional perceptions of Walcott’s status as a public literary figure relate to the portrayal of economically marginalized communities and canonical literary traditions in his poetry. Comparing the rhetoric surrounding Walcott’s receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1992 with the portrayal of ideas about ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’ in his widely

Public thinking, public feeling: research tools for Creative Writing

The numbers, over the last three decades, show a massive increase in creative writing courses, numbers of staff, and output of theses and published works. Other creative arts are progressing in parallel. Confining my discussion to the case of the writer, I want to signal changes in the kinds of institutional affiliations and pathways that make writing public, where the links lie between industry, educational institutions, festivals and writers’ guilds. More significant for the university sector are the kinds of shifts that have occurred in the establishment of a discipline of creative writing that seek to validate its theoretical framework for the purposes of teaching and research. In teaching, it has becoming clear that the technical vocabulary used for the critique and appreciation of literary works does not effectively speak to creative practice pedagogy. In research, as evidenced in the ERA process, the solid theoretical, methodological and national benefit vocabulary has yet to be seen that would make writing a novel a viable central part of an ARC Discovery application. To flesh this out, I sketch the framework for the kinds of social ‘contexts’ that create the different publics addressed and created by literary texts. This is a different version of the social from traditional sociological ones; mine is organised around flows and coagulations of thoughts and feelings, following in some respects the recent work of Bruno Latour. I attempt to apply his framework, and that of Kathleen Stewart, to creative writing with a reading of Helen Garner, and show how literature draws on, and reproduces, structures of thought and feeling in specific ways. This necessitates the argument that fictional texts, in using language in a different fashion from works of reference, sustain their existence by being suspended in an ecology of heterogeneous allies.

The Duchess of Malfi and El mayordomo de la duquesa de Amalfi revisited: some differences in literary convention and cultural horizon

From the large bulk of national English and Spanish drama, those plays which happen to coincide in dealing with the same subject offer themselves as a privileged domain where a fruitful contrastive analysis can be carried out with a view to eliciting the divergent conventions and ideological values which rule in different and even opposing ways the production of literary works in seventeenth century England and Spain. To analyse and contrast some of those elements in The Duchess of Malfi and El mayordomo de la duquesa de Amalfi and put them in relation with their social, ideological and canonical context is the aim of this paper as a way of showing not only the literary practice in different societies, but how the notion of value in its Bakhtinian sense must be taken into account when assaying the appreciation of literary works stemming from divergent backgrounds.
