Teaching Young EFL Learners New Vocabulary: A Comparison of the Efficiency of Traditional and Personalized TPR Strategies

This paper proposes a personalized teaching strategy based on Total Physical Response (TPR) to acquire new words. TPR combines target language items with semantically corresponding gestures conducive to learners understanding and memorizing them by repeatedly executing commands from their teachers. One limitation of TPR is that it does not allow students any freedom to creatively execute an order in ways that seem to be more interesting and meaningful to them. To address these disadvantages, we have integrated the TPR teaching strategy with a personalized teaching strategy. The participants of the experimental group (EG) performed their movements creatively; they integrated the movements with the target words to produce video productions. The participants in the control group (CG) followed the dance video supplied with the textbook. The results of the study demonstrated that the personalized TPR teaching strategy is effective and helpful for recalling the meaning of English vocabulary for higher-level students. The results of this study can benefit K-12 teachers to determine and incorporate best TPR practices for students of different levels.

LEARNING ARABIC VOCABULARY FROM THE QURAN TO FACILITATE EARLY ARABIC SPEAKING SKILLS AND MEMORIZING QURAN AT BAITURRAHMAN KINDERGARTEN IN MALANG CITY

Learning Arabic can indeed be easily initiated from an early age by acquiring Arabic vocabulary from the commonly heard Quran. It has been proven that learning Arabic vocabulary from the Quran facilitates children in memorizing the Quran, as they memorize by envisioning the meanings of the Quranic vocabulary they are reciting. This serves as the rationale for researchers to investigate how Arabic language learning can be conducted by utilizing vocabulary from the Quran, aiming to ease students in both speaking Arabic and memorizing the Quran.

With this direct method, students find it easier to recall the vocabulary provided. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive method and yields insightful findings that are highly beneficial to Quranic institutions as considerations for incorporating Arabic language learning before Quran memorization

Research on Li Shangyin Outside Mainland China Since 2010

In the last decade, research on Li Shangyin's poetry outside mainland China has notably shifted away from the traditional biographical interpretation method of "knowing the authors life and analyzing the work." A select few of these papers critically scrutinize the historical facts associated with Li Shangyin, unveiling fallacies in past biographical narratives and challenging the veracity of certain deeds. The majority of recent articles take a departure from the biographical approach, choosing instead to delve directly into the imagery, poetic artistic conception, and writing skills inherent in the text. These article provide in-depth analysis of the meaning and use of language, vocabulary and literary allusion. In some of them, emphasis is placed on the emotional and aesthetic value of Li Shangyin's poetry, with some scholars even regarding its "incomprehensibility" as an achievement rather than a shortcoming. In general, "what does the text of poetry express" has become an more and more important question.
