Firstly, replacing the instrument of the multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ) with discourse completion task (DCT) can be more effective in measuring L1 pragmatic transfer level, however, beginners might face a difficulty in word choice which will affect the overall result, they will not be able to articulate or specify what might be said. Therefore, researchers might achieve more precise findings by changing the type of instrument and replacing the sample of the beginners group with higher level of English Language proficiency. Secondly, due to the short period of time, language proficiency test was compromised by choosing a sample of a population that is already required to have higher English language proficiency; however, there are different sub levels of proficiency even within the advanced criteria. Moreover, although language proficiency test is hard to conduct and time consuming, yet, it is more efficient to have an exact score for each participant in order to asses L2 skill precisely instead of assuming their proficiency level in a certain Language

  • Summary Of William Lutz's The World Of Doublespeak

    270 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his essay “The World of Doublespeak,” William Lutz define doublespeak as “a blanket term for language which makes the bad seem good, the negative appear positive, the unpleasant attractive, or at least tolerable” (2013). Lutz goes on to claim “It is language which avoids, shifts, or denies responsibility” (2013). He explains the purpose of doublespeak is to “mislead, distort, deceive, inflate” (2103). Based on many of his examples, such as wording an airplane as an airplane that has had “uncontrolled contact with the ground,” or referring to a city slum as the resident of the “fiscal underachievers,” I feel he may overstate his own definition of doublespeak. While, the play on words in these examples does attempt to deceive the read and

  • A Rhetorical Analysis Based On Walter

    285 Words  | 2 Pages

    Based on Walter’s scenario, my decision, which is mostly driven by the first two themes presented in the article, would be to compose a referral to place him on the waitlist of a particular facility. Basically, the first theme explains the separation of competent from incompetent and determining whether a client is competent or not. Although Walter is oriented and able to communicate, I have deemed him incompetent due to various reasons. For instance, he is incapable of performing proper hygiene since he does not appear well-groomed and he is also incapable of maintaining a suitable environment since his house is filled with clothing, newspapers, spoiled products, unwashed dishes, as well as the unpleasant scents of cat deposits.

  • Hearing Voices In Act Two By Dr. Patricia Deegen

    In Act Two, Dr. Patricia Deegan described her experience with hearing voices as a profoundly auditory experience. As a child, she normalized the experience believing everyone else heard voices as well. I found this perspective to be reasonable because it is common for individuals to compare their experiences to those around themselves. For example, in our mood disorder lecture we talked about how those diagnosed with major depressive disorder have thoughts similar to “Everyone around me seems to have it together, and I still have no idea what is going on." Overall, the podcast influenced me to reflect on how I interpret my own thoughts and emotions.

    The Synopsis that I gathered from Haas and Flowers’ “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” was none the less another interesting read. Experienced readers might come to understand that both reading and writing can be “context-rich, situational, and have constructive acts”. Though a large number of students may find reading and writing more or less to be an exchange of valued or non-valued information. Continuing on, multiple studies that have been conducted have also found that on average 77 percent of experienced readers tend to use content strategies to expand their knowledge of the reading. These strategies usually include vigorous annotations of the reading/writing that have been shown to improve the readers/writers’ comprehension of the material.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of The Necessity To Speak

    1000 Words  | 4 Pages

    Rhetorical Analysis of “The Necessity to Speak” Sam Hamill writes his essay “The Necessity to Speak” not in response to a particular event, but the series of violent, harmful events that lead to a silence that must come to an end. He effectively uses different methods of persuasive argument, namely the tools of rhetoric. Hamill has the clear purpose of advocating “the articulation of one’s truest and deepest response” to a world of “lies and silence about violence” (Hamill 473); he desires a world where instead of people refusing to speak, people refuse to stay silenced. The best way to get readers to abandon their silence is through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos.

    In this passage, Ezekiel Cheever responds to John Proctor’s curiosity about what a needle in a poppet signifies and why his wife Elizabeth is being accused of using witchcraft against Abigail Williams. Cheever’s response explains his knowledge of how Abigail was afflicted, his possession of strong evidence against Elizabeth Proctor as a court official, and both his and the town of Salem’s tendency to turn to superstition to explain mysterious events. As Cheever explains how Abigail was afflicted by the needles from the poppet, he utilizes a simile when he states that Abigail fell to the floor, after being stabbed, “like a struck beast” (74). Cheever says this to emphasize the abruptness and intensity of the situation and how significant it is that there is no visual perception of anyone

Marketing campaigns target people’s wants and needs to persuade the consumer that they are buying a product that gives them more than any other product.
