Common Errors in Pronouncing Minimal Pairs Made by English-Majored Freshmen at Ba Ria – Vung Tau University, Vietnam

In the current globalization era, English increasingly becomes the most desirable language to be mastered. The act of producing correct pronunciation is considered as the crucial aspect contributing to the communication competence in English since mispronunciation will certainly lead to misunderstanding in communication. However, in fact, there is a significant difference in the sound system of English and Vietnamese language, which makes many Vietnamese learners encounter problems of pronouncing some sounds in English, especially the minimal pairs.

The result shows the students are unable to differentiate the sounds of those minimal pairs; and the primary causes for this problem are the learners' mother tongue interference, and their limited exposure of English language.

Barriers and Facilitators for Academic Success and Social Integration of Refugee Students in Canadian and US K–12 Schools: A Meta-Synthesis

Despite the status of Canada and the United States as major destinations for refugees worldwide, school-age refugee children in their K–12 schools continue to face significant challenges. To better understand barriers and facilitators for refugee students after resettlement, we carried out a meta-synthesis of 34 peer-reviewed articles that shed light on the educational experiences of refugee students in this geographic context. Our analysis shows that refugee students face such barriers as inappropriate grade placement, deficit thinking of teachers, language barriers, lack of trauma-specific counselling, and misunderstandings in family-school communication. Nevertheless, refugee students benefit from culturally relevant curriculum and pedagogy and the availability of cultural brokers and liaisons. The key theoretical and policy implication of this meta-synthesis is the need to shift the focus from the type of refugee programs (integrated or separate) to the presence of facilitating factors that enhance the academic success and social integration of refugee students.

新世纪中国京剧国际传播现状與问题的考察

Chinese Peking Opera has been promoted and disseminated globally since the beginning of the last century. In this century, with the development of China's economy and the increase of official investment, Peking Opera has reached an unprecedented level in overseas dissemination.
 There has been great development in the subject of dissemination, the number of frequency of dissemination, the scope and form of dissemination. However, compared with the huge investment, Peking Opera still cannot become an international drama category. It mostly appears overseas as a symbol of Chinese culture, and there are also many misunderstandings in communication. For example, the functions of communication goals are ambiguous, the form of communication for tour performances is single, the lack of cross-cultural communication talents, and the incomplete communication system.
 Therefore, the overseas dissemination of Chinese Peking Opera needs to clarify the dissemination goals and objectives, clarify the main functions of dissemination, improve the content to meet the needs of cross-cultural dissemination, enrich the means of dissemination in form, cultivate and excavate cross-cultural dissemination talents, establish a three-dimensional communication system for exhibition performances, opera education, and folk communication. At the same time, new communication channels such as the Internet should be effectively used, and the communication experience of India, Japan, South Korea and other countries should be used for reference, in order to achieve greater and better effects of Peking Opera overseas communication.

Categorisation of Lubukusu conceptual metaphors of pain in doctor-patient consultation

This study examines the metaphors of pain embedded in the conceptual systems of Lubukusu speakers and seeks to establish how categories of these metaphors becomes significant for adequate understanding of emotional reality. The study adopted analytical research design. Nurses were engaged in a role-play of doctor-patient consultations in Lubukusu to bring out a reflection of their experiences with terminally ill Bukusu patients in their medical care. The source domain for the categories of the metaphors analysed to map the source domain are; PLANT, ANIMAL, BAD SMELL, BAD TASTE, SUPERNATURAL, NON-LIVING and MIXED CAUSE onto the target domains of pain. Although there is a lot of research on emotion metaphors, much still remain unknown especially as pertains to the knowledge of corporeal experiences in the conceptualisation of pain. In this view, the paper explores the role of these experiences in the structuring of Lubukusu speaking patients’ concepts of pain when seeking medical services from non-native Lubukusu Doctors. The study sheds light on the need for stakeholders in the health sector to engage linguists in addressing the glaring mismatches, miscommunication and misunderstandings in health communication.

Creating a Better Workplace for Global Virtual Teams: The Influence of the “Strongest Link”

In virtual spaces, misunderstandings in communication are common due to a lack of non-verbal cues or imprecise language. Utilizing a sample of 3578 participants in 755 global virtual teams (GVTs), we studied the links between the maximum cultural intelligence (MaxCQ) score, team communication frequency and conflict frequency as important elements of the GVTs environment. We also tested for their ultimate effects on GVT process performance via team satisfaction. We utilize the conceptualization of MaxCQ as a “strongest link in the team” argument (Brownell et al, 2021) to explain how it works; namely, via MaxCQ’s effect on reducing conflict frequency during a GVT project. We also found evidence that increased communication decreased conflict frequency leading to positive team satisfaction effects. The results suggest that staffing GVTs with individuals scoring high on CQ and increasing team communication frequency overall can lead to better team processes and result in overall team satisfaction. We found no evidence of MaxCQ affecting communication frequency. This supports the notion that future research should concentrate on communication quality instead of frequency, which might show a relationship between these two variables.

How is "solidarity" understood in discussions about contact tracing apps? An overview.

BackgroundIn the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is much discussion about contact tracing apps, their use to contain the spread of the virus as well as the ethical, legal, and social aspects of their development, implementation, acceptance, and use. In these discussions, authors frequently mention “solidarity” when making key points in arguments. At the same time, authors rarely specify how they understand “solidarity”. This lack of specification about how they understand “solidarity” can lead to misunderstandings in discussions.ObjectiveTo prevent such misunderstandings, it is important to specify how one understands “solidarity” when mentioning it in the discussions on contact tracing apps. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to elaborate how “solidarity” is understood in the context of contact tracing apps, i.e., how different authors understand “solidarity” when using it in discussions about these apps.MethodsIn order to find out how different authors understand “solidarity” when discussing contact tracing apps, I conduct a literature review. I collect papers from several databases, inductively work out central differences and similarities between the different uses of “solidarity”, and use them to code and analyze relevant passages.ResultsIn the final sample, five different understandings of “solidarity” in the context of contact tracing apps can be identified. These understandings differ in how different authors (1) imagine the basic concept of solidarity, i.e., what “solidarity” refers to, (2) how they temporally relate solidarity to contact tracing apps, and (3) how they perceive the causal interactions between solidarity and contact tracing apps, i.e., the different ways in which solidarity and contact tracing apps influence each other.ConclusionsThe five understandings of “solidarity” in the context of contact tracing apps presented here can serve as guidance for how “solidarity” can be understood in discussions—thus contributing to a better mutual understanding and preventing communicative misunderstandings.
