Title A name given to the resource Teaching ESL listening skills in Ghanaian senior high schools: A study of agona west municipality Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kojo Fenyi, Ivy Jones-Mensah, Michael Owusu Tabiri, Emmanuel Owusu Description An account of the resource Listening skill is one of the four important language competencies. However, it has not received the needed scholarly attention, not only in classroom pedagogy and curriculum planning but also in studies and researches in Applied Linguistics and Teaching English as Second Language. This study therefore attempts an investigation into the teaching and learning of listening skills in the language classroom in Ghana. It focuses on three issues in English as Second Language (ESL) listening comprehension; i) the strategies/methods for teaching listening skills, ii) the challenges for learning listening skills and iii) the ways to overcome the challenges. This descriptive qualitative study, having used two major instruments for data collection; observation and open-ended questionnaire, engaged 200 students and 7 teachers as the sample from selected Senior High Schools in the Agona West Municipality.

Title A name given to the resource Using Hallidayan systemic functional linguistic approach to analyse the linguistic gyration of royal speeches in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ivy Jones-Mensah, Michael Owusu Tabiri, Daniel Arkoh Fenyi Description An account of the resource This paper investigates the relationship that exists in the linguistic gyration of the annual speeches delivered by Otumfo Osei Tutu and Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panyin, who are both paramount Ghanaian royal chiefs of the Ashanti Kingdom and the Akyem Abuakwa Kingdom respectively. Although these prominent chiefs have delivered several speeches on several times and occasions and at different places and settings, this study paid particular attention to and selected only speeches that they delivered in academic environments, specifically, in universities in Ghana. These annual speeches used for the study were therefore those that were delivered at the University of Professional Studies and University of Education, Winneba campuses respectively. The analysis of the data was done based on the Hallidayan's Systemic Functional Linguistic approach.

Title A name given to the resource Difficulties francophone learners go through in Ghana: The case of Ghana Technology University College Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Tabiri, Gifty Budu Description An account of the resource Francophone learners who pursue further studies in Anglophone countries could face academic, social, economic, religious and political difficulties due to their literary incompetence in English language (L3). Through the method of investigation and answering of questionnaires by learners, it was uncovered and affirmed that the main difficulties Francophone learners encounter in Anglophone countries were academic, social, religious, and political. It was revealed that the learning difficulties of Francophone students transcend the academic setting. Thus in the church, entertainment grounds, market and other places they visit and interact, they face difficulties.

Title A name given to the resource Teaching Francophone learners English Vocabulary without Resorting to the Use of L1 and L2 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Tabiri Description An account of the resource This article sought to propose proper pedagogical means of teaching vocabulary without resorting to the use of L1 (Francophone learners⿿ Mother Tongue) or L2 (French language) when teaching Francophone learners English Language at all levels. It was revealed that adopting context clues or explanation techniques as well as concrete techniques in explaining new words or expressions was the most effective methodological approach in teaching vocabulary. Also, it has been uncovered didactically and pedagogically that the more senses are used to comprehend a word, the greater the likelihood of learning being successful. Thus if learners see a word, (as real pictures), feel the word (touching the thing), taste the word (by the way of eating) as well as hear it used in a sentence to show meaning, it would lead to retention and memorization of the vocabulary.

Title A name given to the resource Vocabulary knowledge of collocation in business texts: a case of ESL tertiary students Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ivy Jones-Mensah, Michael Owusu Tabiri, Daniel Arkoh Fenyi, Angel Edward Kongo, Dickson Amexo Description An account of the resource The objective of this paper is to examine and discover the vocabulary knowledge of collocation issues in business students’ academic writing. To achieve the aim, a corpus-based investigation was conducted on essays of 40 tertiary business students to ascertain the extent to which they are exposed to certain key vocabulary of the field and how such words collocate with other words appropriately. Using the British Academic Written English (BAWE) McIsaac version (2019) and concordance (Vocabulary level Text and vocabulary level software, lextutor. ca) as analytic tools to determine the key vocabulary levels of the field, the study qualitatively streamlines the overuse and the underuse of the most common collocations by students who speak English as a Second Language (ESL) in a business tertiary institution, the University of Professional Studies, Accra. The findings show that there are lexical collocation errors such as word choice, business jargon, and contextual errors. The study further reveals that some collocations are overused in student corpora, including increased lexical repetitions and redundancy. We recommend that business tertiary students gain mastery over the vocabulary of their field since it gives them a greater ability to produce high-quality written texts, which aid in text comprehension.

Title A name given to the resource Review of literature on coherence and cohesion in text quality among ESL students Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ivy Jones-Mensah, Michael Owusu Tabiri Description An account of the resource Coherence in written text is a complex concept; it involves a multitude of readers and text-based features. Thus, in language acquisition, testing and discourse competence requires communicative competence. The objective of this article is to explore coherence and cohesion in academic writing, with a particular emphasis on the use of cohesive devices, especially among ESL students. Thus, the emphasis is on the levels of skills relevant for using cohesive devices and the skills needed for using the devices in creating consistency in the text. Therefore, the article reviews current literature on coherence, defines coherence and cohesion in broad terms, and presents a three-lesson revision unit based on modern coherence principles. Conclusions are drawn about the success of this revision technique and the necessity for providing sequential exercises to improve communicative competence among ESL students. Finally, the relationship between the terms revealed that these are the connection and organisation of ideas in the sentences of the text to create a sense of unity between the topics discussed in the Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived GlobELT & GLOBETS Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Teaching reported speech through communicative language teaching and principled eclecticism approaches: the case of Ghana technology university college Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Tabiri Description An account of the resource This research work sought to assess a practical innovative way of teaching and learning English language at the tertiary institutions, particularly in Ghana. Communicative language teaching together with the principled eclecticism approaches was adopted to teach reported speech in English language. Reported Speech was selected as a sample topic because it has been found to be one of the most difficult topics for Anglophone and Francophone students. It was uncovered through this work that acquisition of language skills together with communication is concomitant of social interaction. It was found that the common fault with inexperienced students is to confuse past and present tenses. Three systematic communicative language teaching approaches were employed as panacea for rampant consistent/continuous errors in observance of the sequence of tenses in reported speech in English language. Learners were assessed at the end of three months teaching and learning by reporting a concession statement of Nana Akufo Addo in 2012 to ascertain their mastery of indirect speech. The results revealed that through constant systematic pedagogical measures, learning difficulties are drastically surmountable. Finally, it was discovered pedagogically that adopting suitable method in teaching and learning a language is the panacea for numerous learning difficulties.
