Supporting Students' Speaking Skill in ELT Classroom: An Exploratory Action Research

2024-05-17T13:59:39+00:00

The purpose of this Exploratory Action Research (EAR) was to explore the reasons behind the reluctance of students to speak in ELT class and to come up with possible solutions. It is based on an exploratory research design following a questionnaire, focused group discussions, and reflective notes as the tools for data collection. To investigate and overcome the issue, a set of questionnaires (open and close-ended were made in MS Word and Google Forms) and asked the students studying in grade 8 aged 13- 15 years old. I additionally used my reflective journals and had informal discussions with the focused group of 7 students to gather the data. After analyzing the data statistically and thematically, I found that my students liked to communicate in English but avoided it because of the fear of making mistakes and being laughed at by their peers. After devising the plans like asking the students to make self-suggestive and reflective notes, clapping instead of laughing while someone speaks in English, creating learner autonomy in the classroom, focusing on group and pair activities and providing complete and clear instructions in English helped to enhance the speaking skill of my students.

Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Organizational Performance in Commercial Banks, Itahari, Sunsari, Nepal

2024-05-17T14:34:43+00:00

The ongoing debate surrounding Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Organizational Performance (OP) has been a consistent topic of discussion across various cultures worldwide. This article aims to assess the current status of EI and OP in Nepalese Commercial Banks, analyze the relationship between EI and OP, and measure the impact of EI on OP. Employing a deductive research approach, the study utilizes a descriptive and cross-sectional research design, with the population comprising all employees in commercial banks in Itahari, Sunsari, Nepal. The sample size is 167, chosen through convenience sampling, employing a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale to collect primary data. Mean and Standard Deviations assess the status of EI and OP, while Pearson correlation matrix and linear regression analysis measure the impact of EI on OP. Chronbatch alpha is used to test the reliability of constructs. The results indicate a positive presentation of both EI and OP in commercial banks, with statistically significant relationships within the model. The analysis suggests that employees with high EI exhibit higher OP compared to those with lower emotional intelligence. Notably, social awareness emerges as a key construct significantly influencing OP, followed by relationship management and self-awareness. The findings propose potential benefits for banks in enhancing EI levels during recruitment, training, and development programs for their personnel.

2024-05-24T07:05:24+00:00

This article analyzes the novel Mrityuko Aayu in the light of Magic Realism. Applying magic realism is methodological approach for critical analysis of the novel in this article. It follows interpretive textual analysis. Free translation has been used while taking the citation from the novel. I have drawn the conclusion that the novel is a magic realist novel as it has introduced innovative style of narrating the story. The story begins from the death of the protagonist, but he is capable of seeing everything even after the death. It has blended mundane and supernatural, ordinary and extraordinary and real and fantastical elements in an unquestionable way. The novel's extracts are analyzed within five parameters that include fantastical elements, real world setting, incorporation of myth, meta-fiction and social/ political critique. Even after the death of the protagonist, the story moves ahead from the spirit's perspective. The spirit is capable of seeing, feeling and experiencing everything. The readers accept all such actions and happenings as normal without questioning the reliability of them and feel sorry for his painful and pathetic condition. Therefore, the writer is successful in using magic realism in the novel. It is hoped that this article will encourage researchers to study other works of fiction from the point of view of Magic Realism.
