    Get PDF
    In this paper, I offer an expansionist view of the Frickerian central case of testimonial injustice, citing examples from the South Asian context. To defend this expansionist position, I provide an argument in three parts. First, I argue that credibility deficit and credibility excess are entangled with each other in such a way that often, one produces the other. Secondly, I contend that we should not say that systematic testimonial injustice is a consequence of credibility deficit only because of the entanglement between them. I also contend that for being the central case of testimonial injustice, identity prejudice should not be necessarily negative; it can be positive as well. Propounding a twofold condition of the status of a knower, the last part claims that testimonial injustice occurs when one of the two conditions remains unmet

The author also contends that prioritizing the idea of “leaving the earth no worse” is not exclusively anthropocentric

    Get PDF
    The problem with student reading comprehension is that it is difficult to translate reading comprehension sentences, as English contains multiple tenses as well as vocabulary. Many students often find it difficult due to poor grammatical structure and vocabulary. Teaching methods are usually not very interesting for students. They say the instructor uses the traditional method (GTM). One alternative solution to this problem is PQRST with PowerPoint media. This method has been studied to see if it works effectively for learning to read. This study adopted a quasi-experimental procedure using a non-randomized pre-test and post-test design. As a result, it was found that the PQRST method using PowerPoint media is an effective method for reading comprehension instruction because it exhibits better reading comprehension than the conventional method.Keywords: teaching reading, PQRST, PowerPoin
