This document discusses the beneficial functions of poetry for second language learning. It argues that poetry can develop students' second language complexity through activities like reading and writing poetry. Poetry conveys meaning through unique features like grammar, vocabulary, registers, and themes not often addressed in textbooks. It also motivates learners by involving them in personal creative processes. The document provides examples of how poetry illustrates these concepts and recommends including poetry in language classrooms, particularly highly constrained forms, which force learners to stretch their skills through formal requirements.
The research has illuminated the beneficial role of poetry in all major aspects of second language acquisition, such as the accuracy of pronunciation, development of L2 complex syntax and vocabulary, development of understanding of the L2 discourse, cultural awareness and promotion of multiculturalism, as well as in students’ motivation. Poetry, as an authentic, non-paraphrased utterance of personal perception created in certain socio-cultural environment is a unique linguistic formation. By introducing the activities of reading and writing poetry in second language classrooms such qualities as developing students’ second language in complexity, developing the students’ individual ways of self-expression and self-realization within socio-cultural settings of a second language can be expanded.

American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS) is a double blind peer reviewed, open access journal published by (ARJHSS).
The main objective of ARJHSS is to provide an intellectual platform for the international scholars. ARJHSS aims to promote interdisciplinary studies in Humanities & Social Science and become the leading journal in Humanities & Social Science in the world.
In the process of teaching grammar it is difficult to motivate students. A well-designed introductory text used in terms of the inductive method, theory of creativity, and Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory can be a useful technique of enhancing students’ motivation. To motivate students, the introductory text must possess certain qualities: to be grammatically structured, vivid, humorous, and connected to some cultural issues. While reading the text students are urged to notice new syntax units, guess their meaning in the context, and discover the grammar patterns. Thus, students are immersed into a carefully guided learning process of scaffolded interactive communication.
The article is based on a detailed analysis of the introductory text (a dialogue between two friends) from Dr. Keith Folse’ textbook (2012) Clear Grammar 2. (2nd Ed.). In this textbook the introduction of the new syntax material in the dialogue takes place gradually: as the dialogue develops, it presents new grammatical complexities. Also, the dialogue contains some devices such as a celebrity name (Brad Pitt), colloquial expressions, and humor to catch and keep students’ attention. Only after students’ attention has been stimulated, the new syntax structures appear in the dialogue for the first time. As the result, the students’ understanding of the deep and surface structures of a new syntax form (past progressive tense in this case) may come at this stage of learning.
A Comparative Analysis of Present and Past Participial Adjectives and their C...Natalia Reilly, Ph.D.
This present study used the Corpus of Contemporary American English http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/ (COCA) to investigate the overall frequency of participial adjectives in use as well as their frequency within certain varieties of contexts. The results have shown that among most frequently used participial adjectives there are not only the participial adjectives derived from transitive verbs of psychological state, such as interesting/interested, but also the participial adjectives derived from transitive verbs of action with their intransitive equivalents, such as increasing/increased. The data also revealed that many participial adjectives lack corresponding counterparts and thus cannot be presented in –ing/-ed or -en pairs (e. g., existing, ongoing, concerned, supposed). Finally, a majority of the differences between participial adjectives, including the differences between present (-ing) and past (-ed or -en) participial adjectives, are reflected in their collocations. This study suggests that a new approach of teaching participial adjectives along with their collocations in relation to their frequencies in particular contexts can help second language learners develop awareness of how and when these participial adjectives should be used to convey an individual’s intended meaning in a native-like manner.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

2. Why Poetry
• Poetry is an authentic, non-paraphrased utterance of
personal perception created under constrain of linguistic
norms and in certain socio-cultural environment, it is a
unique holistic linguistic formation.
• By introducing the activities of reading and writing
poetry such qualities as developing students’ second
language in complexity, motivation, integration into
socio-cultural environment, can be expanded
(Hanauer, 2001, 2003; Akyel, 1995, Lazar, 1996; Melin,
2010).
.
3. • by conveying meaning through grammar
• by using unique vocabulary
• by illustrating registers
• by representing avoided themes
• by motivating language learners
How Poetry Works
4. How Poetry Works
• Meaning through Grammar
• Poetry reading and writing (Hanauer, 2001) are
construction processes of linguistic interpretation,
in which, by noticing and understanding grammar
structures, SLLs construct and develop
interpretations of the poem content.
5. • Meaning through Grammar
• Articles
Use a/an with singular count nouns
that are not specific and are being
mentioned for the first time.
Use the when you are talking about
something specific (Folse, 1012).
Ex. He has a watch.
The watch on the table is not his.
6. • Meaning through Grammar
• Articles
I knew the drummer
for a garage band named Skuzz.
My God, he was hot! I knew a drummer
for a garage band named Skuzz.
My God, he was hot!
I knew a drummer
for the garage band named Skuzz.
My God, he was hot!
it
7. • Meaning through Grammar
• Past Progressive Tense
An action in the past (past
progressive) was interrupted
in the past by another action
(simple past) (Folse, 2012).
Ex. I was sleeping when
you called me.
8. • Meaning through Grammar
• Past Progressive Tense
The sky was burning;
Metallic ash fell like rain.
“Are we dead?” she asked.
Metallic ash was falling like rain.
“Are we dead?” she asked.
The sky was burning;
9. How Poetry Works
• Unique Vocabulary Use
• To create meaning in poetic texts the
unique word associations are used, so the
stylistic analysis of poems with the focus on
the words which are more memorable
improves language learners’ understanding
of vocabulary and discourse (Akyel, 1995).
10. • Unique Vocabulary Use
All that you can get
Pales in comparison to
All that you can see.
I slid to the floor and cried.
God brought him back home.
My son was deployed
11. How Poetry Works
• Registers Understanding
• Reading poetry can increase language
learners’ awareness of different language
registers, so it will be easier for the learners
to express themselves and to understand the
meaning of native speakers’ discourses
(Lazar, 1996).
12. • Registers Understanding
The hall is empty
The night is dark and lonely
Life sucks without friends
Is there life on Mars?
Do you think we’ll ever know?
Do you really care?
13. How Poetry Works
• Representation of Avoided Themes
• Poetry has the particular value of the unique
in terms of representing avoided in textbooks
multileveled human experience touching the
themes of death, pain, treachery, passion
(Hanauer, 2001, 2003; Lazar, 1996; Melin, 2010).
14. • Avoided Themes
Don’t stare into them
My eyes tell nothing but lies
I’d eat you alive
Someone’s messed up head...
Somebody else’s body...
Someone else is deadFake a smile, a laugh.
The day might go by faster.
Less complication.
Their War, Not Mine
15. How Poetry Works
• Motivation
• Personal involving in the processes of reading and
writing poetry can become a source of motivation for the
students as well as their teachers which, in its turn,
alleviates internalization of the target language by the
learners (Hanauer, 2003; Lazar, 1996).
• Hanauer (2012) has pointed out that the first stage of
poetry writing by second language learners is the stage of
generating personal motivation necessary for second
language acquisition.
16. Teaching implications
• Reading poetry, according to Akyel (1995), Hanauer
(2001), Lazar (1996), Melin (2010) focuses students’
attention on the forms(phonetic, morphologic, syntactic,
semantic, pragmatic) of a language without which
second language learning cannot take place.
• To include the activity of reading poetry in the second
language classroom is especially important because the
highly praised in language classrooms authentic
speaking activities focus on meaning while quite often
ignoring the form (Hanauer, 2001).
17. Teaching implications
• Writing poetry with high formal constraints (acrostics,
cinquains, haikus) is an advantageous activity in comparison
with writing free-style poems of looser formal constrains
(similes) because the highly form-oriented poetic task forces
students to stretch and transform their L2 linguistic and
conceptual world at a higher level of knowledge and to
search for new vocabulary, new, more elaborated syntax, and
new, more complex conceptual world; while a free-style
poetry writing task lets students use familiar vocabulary and
simple syntax (Tin 2011).
18. Teaching implications
• Poems with high formal constraints:
Acrostics: every line starts with the letter provided by
the keyword (formal constraint), and the whole poem
must relate to the keyword (semantic constraint)
Joy
Jar of amazing feeling
Overcoming sadness
You should get it (Tin 2011, p.222).
19. Teaching implications
• Poems with high formal constraints:
Cinquain (to review parts of speech)
Line 1/ one word: a single noun (or the title)
Line 2/ two words: two adjectives that describe Line 1
Line 3/ three words: three –ing verbs that are actions
Line 4/ four words: a phrase or sentence of feeling
Line 5/ one word: a single noun that renames Line 1
Cats
Aloof, curious
Sleeping, hiding, purring
A friendly ball of fur
Kitty
(Folse,Goussakova,2012, p.62)
20. Teaching implications
• Poems with high formal constraints:
Haiku Night
Line 1/ 5 syllables Under crimson clouds
Line 2/ 7 syllables Illuminated cities
Line 3/ 5 syllables Cower from the dark
