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. In short, teachers and lecturers of all academic … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=c6aHdPkAAAAJ&citation_for_view=c6aHdPkAAAAJ:qjMakFHDy7sC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/25265569ea7c9d26b39f75c1fc5bb56b.pdf 7811a572a3ad51ba45f8c603b727c3c6 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 On the Gradient-Hamiltonian Systems to the Derivation of Economic Multivariate Total Functions Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Awuah Addor, Kwadwo Ankomah, Emmanuel Benson Description An account of the resource This paper highlights an application of Gradient or Hamiltonian (Grad-Ham) Systems in deriving multivariate total functions. The objective is to establish a relationship between Gradient or Hamiltonian systems and economic-oriented multivariate marginal functions, and demonstrate how they can significantly be applied to the derivation of economic multivariate total functions. The multivariate marginal functions are represented by the Grad-Ham systems of differential equations whose analytical solutions are based on the partial antiderivative technique. The paper establishes that all economic multivariate marginal functions can respectively be expressed as exact differential equations. It also uncovered that functions that can be optimized are conservative along their optimal paths and that these functions become the first integrals of their respective marginal systems. Finally, it introduces two model examples-one hypothetical and the other based on the Cobb-Douglas Production function-and presents their derivations thereof.

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 Exploring the Impact of Urbanization on Renewable and Fossil Fuel Use in Developing Economies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaiah Sikayena, Eric Abokyi, Felix Ofosu Boateng, Kwadwo Ankomah Description An account of the resource Urbanization and industrialization are twin forces with the potential to bring about significant economic and social progress. However, if not managed properly, they can lead to environmental degradation due to the escalated consumption of fossil fuels. This study examines the impacts of urbanization and industrialization on fossil fuel consumption, as well as on the consumption of renewable energy. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Canonical Cointegrating Regression (CCR) estimation procedures were used. The study found an inverted U-shape relationship between urbanization and renewable energy consumption, while an increasing monotone relationship was found for urbanization and fossil fuel consumption. The Lind and Mehlum test provided sufficient conditions for the existence of an inverted U shape between urbanization and renewable energy consumption, and the turning point was obtained for policy purposes. Another key finding from the study revealed that in Ghana, the use of fossil fuels is a key driver of industrialization, rather than renewable energy sources. Additionally, the results of the generalized forecast error variance decomposition (GFEVD) provided interesting insights. The policy implications of these findings have been thoroughly discussed.

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 https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/577e125d0d6650f06196e5b57f34bfef.pdf fc09c85a48211a9841b3323eec0950f0 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 Cultural Adherence, Personal Financial Behaviour and Investment Decision Making Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource K Ankomah Description An account of the resource The complexities of the global financial market have made investment decisions very critical in this fast-paced global world. As a result of these complexities, investment decisions are always affected by psychological and behavioural biases. These biases tend to affect the prices and performance of financial securities being offered for sale on the market. This study aims to investigate the mediating role of personal financial behaviour on the relationship between culture and investment decision-making. A quantitative approach was used for the study, and a systematic sampling technique was used to gather cross-sectional data from 476 respondents. The data was analysed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) technique by using SmartPLS 3 software. The analysis of the SEM proved that culture has a significant and positive impact on personal financial behaviour. It also revealed that personal financial behaviour has a positive and significant influence on investment decision-making. However, on the mediation role of personal financial behaviour on the relationship between culture and investment decision-making, only risk tolerance was found to be significant. With the exception of income, all the demographic factors which were used as moderators for the relationship between personal financial behaviour and investment decision-making were insignificant. According to the study, culture can mediate the relationship between personal financial behaviour and investment decision-making. The study recommended that government considers the individual investor’s cultural lineage when coming out with investment policies.

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.
