Mastery in Japanese Conjunctions among Indonesian Learners of JapaneseQUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This study is an analysis of usages of Japanese conjunctions ~ tekara (after), ~ toki (when) and ~ tara (if / when) which were tested to the students at USU’s and UNAND’s Japanese Literature Departments which have applied the Japanese learning phase in the levels of N5 ~ N3. The students were requested to identify the differences among the three conjunctions. The research was both quantitative and qualitative. The research data were taken from the Pre-Test, which was shaped to choose one correct answer between (~tekara/tare) and (~toki/~tara) and the Post-Test, which was provided to complete a sentence with ~tekara, ~toki and ~tara. The results showed that there was a tendency that students translated the questions during PreTest into Indonesian and ignored the Japanese grammar. As a result, they made errors. It was concluded that there were lacks of understanding and training in these conjunctions.

Academic Problem-Solving And Students Identities As EngineersTodd Turner
This document summarizes a research study that investigated how engineering students describe their identities when solving typical academic engineering problems. Interviews were conducted with 8 engineering students about their approaches to open-ended and closed-ended materials engineering problems. The interviews were analyzed using a modification of Gee's framework for analyzing language-in-use. The analysis found that students were more likely to describe themselves using the language and identities of students, highlighting practices, expectations, and language associated with being a student, rather than as emerging engineers. The researchers suggest that academic problem solving may not encourage students to connect to identities related to professional engineering practice. Understanding how language shapes problem-solving practices and identities can provide insight for improving engineering education.
A Study On Strategy Instruction And EFL Learners Writing SkillMartha Brown

The role of multiple literacies in developing interdisciplinary research 1Dr.Nasir Ahmad
The classification of knowledge into different disciplines is not to distinct knowledge of one domain from the
other as these are the parts of a whole but to make it easy, and to provide space for development and
promotion of knowledge. Interdisciplinary research provides the opportunity to study different domains of
knowledge from single perspective so that to reach to an eclectic picture of the phenomenon. Results showed
that interdisciplinary research contributes a lot in promoting interdisciplinary faculty’s relationships and joint
ventures in exploring the unseen facts. Multiple literacies are powerful indicators in promoting
interdisciplinary research culture and disciplinary literacy of faculty. Multiple literacy theory emphasize on
the componential development of language development which is corner stone for multiple literacies.
Faculty’s literacy in Information Communication Technology (ICT), Statistics and critical thinking/ problem
solving skills are foundational for multiple literacy of faculty.

The interplay between gender and student classroom participation a case study...Dr.Nasir Ahmad
A number of research studies have found differences between male and female students’ classroom participation. Some researchers link these differences to students’ gender, asserting that female students’ low participation is the result of male students’ active classroom participation. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore differences between students’ gender and their classroom participation and to investigate the ways through which students gender manifest itself in disadvantaging other students. Four students – both male and female – were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule; two classroom observations were conducted, having different classroom gender compositions. Apart from the students two teachers of the observed classes were also interviewed, for gaining a better understanding of the differences between male and female students’ classroom participation and the reasons that disadvantage a specific gender. Findings suggest and confirm that university climate presents less friendly environment to female students.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
