Representation of women on the main South African public television news bulletins 1999-2005: a critical analysis of representation of women on Women's Day

Abstract This study investigates the representation of women on the main South African public television news bulletins between 1999 and 2005. The study focuses on the representation of women on Women’s Day in South Africa as a case study of the representation of women in television news. A nuanced, complimentary theoretical framework of theories of news production, discourse and semiotic analyses is used. The study uses quantitative content analysis as a stepping stone to make qualitative judgements about media texts. The findings of the study reveal that women are represented in stereotypical roles as mothers, housewives, victims, people in need of government assistance, or passive crowds at national gatherings. The findings of the study also reveal that the news media trivializes and ridicules issues of concern to women and does not treat them as legitimate and significant. Overall the study reveals that television news is a masculine narrative that reinforces negative frames of meaning about women

Guidelines for Return to Presential Classes: Consensus Proposal in Accordance with the National and International Health Regulatory Agencies

Introduction: The coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) caused an unprecedented crisis in the area of education, causing the massive closure of classroom activities by educational institutions in more than 190 countries. By mid-May 2020, more than 1.2 billion students at all levels of education world- wide have stopped taking face-to-face classes. Therefore, the reopening of schools, colleges, and universities during the COVID-19 pandemic represents a special challenge worldwide in order to ensure the safety of students and staff. The guidelines need to outline the creation of a task force at each university, risk screening based on school, travel history, occupation, contacts, groups, and self-management. Objective: In this way, the present work had as objective to propose a guideline of return to the face-to-face classes based on the main regulatory criteria of government agencies in Brazil and the world. Methods: The present study followed a review model of the main national and international public health legislation as UNESCO, WHO and ANVISA. Development and Strategies: According to the process of economic reopening in Brazil and the world, the return to educational activities begins with the effective need to develop an action plan inherent to this resumption, gradually and safely.

Trends in Interactional Competence: Targeting Engagement and Explicit Utterances

This paper aims to examine how an IELTS candidate keeps himself engaged in communication and conveys his ideas clearly to the examiner in the speaking section. Despite very occasional errors, the candidate shows fluency and a good mastery of vocabulary and grammatical knowledge. His performance demonstrates his abilities in interactional competence, a construct of speaking pedagogy that highlights dynamics of interaction between participants of a conversation. The nature of interactional competence requires the speaker to make utterance explicit to the listener and actively respond to the conversation partner. Influencing factors of interactional competence include speaking skills, communication abilities, cognitive skills and contextual factors. Issues might arise from unmanageable factors in some occasions, which requires the test taker to adapt to changes and adjust utterances as an engaged listener. Thus, contingent responses reflect comprehension and engagement in interactions. In this case, the speaker responds to the examiner by expanding information with a flexible use of vocabulary, grammatical structures and pronunciation skills. Examples show that major contributors to errors might be inattentiveness and lack of context awareness. If he fixes the problems in his speech, he can improve his rating on the marking rubric in future tests
