  • Trauma at the Intersection of Precarity and the Politics of Language: Exploring Memory and Manipulation in Joy Kogawa's Obasan
    Dwitiya Sarkar, Dr. Jabbar Al Muzzamil Fareen
    3l Language Linguistics Literature, 2024
    The process of retrieving information in memory allows humans to recall and forget things. It is an active approach to determining our mutable identity, as memory never remains static. But what occurs if this dynamic process of iteration and interaction becomes fixed and fails to establish a rapport based on sympathy and solidarity with non-Western ‘others?’ This paper investigates the intricate relationship of language, memory, trauma, and power, particularly focusing on the precarity induced by the manipulation of language in the context of historical and political narratives. Apropos how such manipulation can also distort collective memory and ignite trauma; shaping perceptions and moulding societal narratives. Through an examination of Joy Kogawa’s Obasan and by employing theoretical frameworks such as Freud’s concept of “screen memories” and Deumert’s notion of “scripts of supremacy,” the paper examines the intersection of precarity and the politics of language. Additionally, it investigates the concept of “Historiographic Metafiction”, as proposed by Hutcheon, highlighting the fusion of history and fiction in preserving collective memory and aiding in the process of healing from trauma. Thus, the main objective of this study is to critically examine how language manipulation distorts collective memory and triggers trauma, emphasising how literature functions as a corrective tool and a representation of cultural memory to counteract this precarity, navigate power dynamics, and preserve collective memory. Keywords : language; manipulation; politics; precarity; screen-memory; trauma
  • Macro inquiries on needs-based language learning and its implications on ESP syllabus design
    Jabbar Al Muzzamil Fareen
    Journal of Pedagogical Sociology and Psychology, 2024
    The specification of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses to develop target level communicative competence has been the dire needs of any professional and technical education programmes today. As ESP courses need to be redesigned to the changing requirements of academics and industry, this paper attempts to propose a framework that could satisfy the objectives of learners and their specific purpose of learning. In this paper, the macro inquiries of why, what, and how of the specific purpose of language learning is discussed to plan the aim, objectives, and goals of a needs-based course. As contextual analysis is very much perpetual for designing an ESP course, this paper envisages the importance of conducting needs and demands analysis to understand and articulate the present and the target situation needs of the learner. With this pursuit, a theoretical and practical framework for designing a learner and learning needs-based ESP syllabus has been advocated with the specifications of integrated, interrelated, and interdependent components of product and process design.

    International Journal of Sustainable Society, 2024
    Digital literacy skills and the capability to use emerging communication technologies at work are the most required skills of the 21st century. The XYZ generations eagerly anticipate for the advent of 5G and 6G mobile technologies and to set right for the new visible change and transformation that it will lead to. As the millennials and centennials have been raised using the internet, smartphones, and social media, they have become the digital natives of this era. The expectation of these digital natives is to become tech-savvy and to use advanced digital technologies in regular, domestic, personal, social, and professional life. They expect to possess sufficient 21st century digital literacy skills to own, appreciate and serve as the firsthand skilled and smart users of digital communication technologies. In this context, this paper attempts to analyse the needs of next generation communication technologies for multigenerational workforce to build up their digital communication capabilities at academics, work, and social media.
  • Job focus: Revisiting students' communicative needs and industrial demands

    Journal of Language and Education, 2018
    In an attempt to develop students’ employability skills through a job-specific, needs based English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course, this paper investigated conducting a needs analysis to understand the perceptions of the final-year technical students, alumni, and Human Resources (HR) managers for promoting placements in the campus recruitments. By employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, an open-ended questionnaire was conducted with final-year information technology students and structured and unstructured interviews with the HR managers and the alumni respectively. In this study, the communicative needs of the final-year technical students were specifically addressed to provide them with career education and placement training and raise employment opportunities in their course of study. Based on the results of the questionnaire-based survey and subsequent observations in the structured and unstructured interviews, it is widely examined that all of the HR managers reflected on the importance of English language in corporate communications. The findings of the survey also reflected that the perceptions of the alumni and the expectations of the HR managers on verbal and nonverbal skills were well received by the final-year technical students. This is a positive development on the part of students as they were found to be thoroughly aware of their workplace needs and were keen to develop language, communication, and soft skills for successfully entering into the job market. This research implies that connecting institution and industry is a significant factor in helping students obtain job offers and develop the job-specific skills that meet the requirements of the industry.
