Keywords: Psychological stress, learning difficulties, teachers, A field study Due to the prevalence of cases of increased occupational stress and its effects on teachers' performance and mental health in particular education institutions, the importance of assessing stress levels and the factors most likely to determine it has been highlighted. Recognizing the significance of exceptional education instructors' psychological health in educational environments, this study aims to investigate the psychological stress of teachers of students with learning difficulties and its relationship to several variables. To achieve the study's objectives, a psychological stress scale was developed. A total of 63 instructors from Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman were selected on purpose to participate in the study. The results indicated that the level of psychological stress was moderate, and the types of stress experienced by individuals in the sample were ranked in a three-tiered hierarchy. The stress associated with the relationship with students comes first, followed by material anxiety, the stress related to the relationship with parents, and the stress associated with the work environment. In addition, there are disparities between the sample individuals based on the "emirate" variable in favor of Dubai and the "marriage status" variable in favor of married individuals. In addition, there are no distinctions based on educational experience, except stress dimensions related to parental relationships. The differences between (1-5) and (11) or more years favored (1-5) years. Except for the dimension of the tension of the work environment, whi...

Keywords: Academic Discourse; Evidentials, Hedges; Code Glosses; Boosters This paper investigates the frequency and contextual uses of the metadiscoursal devices of evidentials, code glosses, hedges and boosters in four academic disciplines, namely, linguistics, literature, chemistry and medicine. Hyland and Hinkel’s taxonomies of metadiscourse provided the search items. The data analyzed consisted of a corpus of forty research articles, divided into four subcorpora equally drawn from the four disciplines. The corpus was randomly selected from leading international journals and processed by the corpus analysis toolkit, AntConc. The AntConc concordancer was employed so that each metadiscourse item could be counted and examined in its context. The findings show that hedges were the most frequent metadiscoursal device, which may be seen as an indication of the academic authors’ tendency to use language of caution and uncertainty. The second rank in frequency was occupied by evidentials, which reflects the need for academic writing to establish credibility. Code glosses and boosters have the least frequency, which may measure for the value of conciseness in academic discourse. The analysis also shows that linguistics and literature exceed the two scientific disciplines, chemistry and medicine, in the frequency of the four metadiscoursal devices. Linguistics manifests the highest distribution of hedges and code glosses, medicine the highest number of boosters, literature the highest frequency of evidentials. Chemistry has the lowest frequency of all metadiscoursal devices. This study aims to help students of academic writing to learn about the use of the selected metadiscoursal devices in many disciplines. Future studies need to investigate more metadiscoursal devices in other academic disciplines.

Keywords: Otherness, Arabic audiovisual translation, dubbing, Masha and the Bear cartoons, translation strategies. Children’s cartoons and films are often dubbed for obvious reasons that children find reading subtitles a challenging process in a film. This study investigated the issue of Otherness and the strategies of its audiovisual translation in the Arabic dubbed version of Masha and the Bear, a Russian cartoon film. The study examined the orientation of three elements of Audiovisual Translation (AVT): the verbal, the para-verbal and the non-verbal. In the context of Masha and the Bear, the comparative analysis of selected dubbed episodes confirmed the three orientations and showed that the strategies most often used by the translator are paraphrase, substitution and generalization. . The results of the study suggest that the challenge mainly lies in the dilemma of meeting the audience’s expectations without altering deeply the specificity of the Source Text (ST). They also show that in most cases the translator domesticated the SL product to meet the cultural values of the audience. This study also uncovered a few challenges posed by the rendering of otherness represented in cartoons, and accordingly understood how the translator coped with this aspect in the given multiple semiotic systems interacting in the cartoons. As cartoons play a major role in children’s life and education, this study would develop increasing interests in translation of cartoons through dubbing and promote the local culture and ensure a higher degree of acceptability by the target viewer.

- Strategies for Applying Systemic Functional Linguistics in Critical
Discourse Analysis on the News “Scenario Ferdy Sambo” in Online Media
Kompas and Tempo
Abstract: Umar Fauzan
UIN Sultan Aji Muhammad Idris Samarinda
Keywords: Functional Systemic Linguistics, Critical Discourse Analysis, News The research paper explores the application of Functional Systemic Linguistics (FSL) in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) on the news "Scenario Ferdy Sambo" in online media Kompas and Tempo. FSL is used to analyze the textual features of the news, including the choice of words, grammar, and coherence, to identify the underlying ideologies and power relations embedded in the discourse. CDA is employed to analyze the social context and discourse practices surrounding news production and consumption, including the actors involved, their interests, and the implications of the news for society. This research analyzes the news of the murder case of Brigadier J, who dragged the name of a general, Ferdy Sambo. This case is at the forefront of a problem that is rife throughout society. The internet media, particularly Tempo and Kompas, highlighted stories connected to the unearthing of CCTV that Ferdy Sambo had buried. News writing portrays thoughts and manifestations of emotion in the individuals who read it. This analysis tries to describe the structure of the text and the social context of the discourse news in Kompas and Tempo. The research technique incorporates Teun A. Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis. Data were acquired via viewing the tempo and Kompas websites. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the structure of the text is built on elements of macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure in the form of semantic, syntactic, stylistic, and rhetorical features that underpin the overall discourse. Analysis related to the social context provides an overview of the representation of the reader/community regarding the allegations of Ferdy Sambo's involvement in the killing of Brigadier J through the CCTV found. This leads to the people's thinking/ideology that the news is according to what they need because it is plain and open. The materials supplied in the discourse provided further explanations and disrupted the basic scenario of Ferdy Sambo, who was not involved in the death of Brigadier J.

Keywords: politeness strategy, family realm, international marriage, Japan-Bali relationship The purpose of this study is to describe the politeness approach of the Japanese-Balinese family realm language. The study explores how the use of language politeness strategies is affected by the cultural background of both spouses in intercultural marriages. The study also examines the various factors that influence language politeness strategies in intercultural marriages, including age, gender, social status, and power dynamics. Ethnopragmatics is utilized to examine language politeness methods in the context of the lives of the Japan-Bali intermarriage group. The research design is qualitative and descriptive. It uses observation methodology with strategies for data collecting, including listening, recording, and interviewing. The basic data consists of conversations between Japanese ladies and families from Bali. The approach for data analysis involves identifying, classifying, and importing data. The residence of a Japanese woman who married a Balinese guy was tracked for one year in the Badung and Gianyar Regencies. They were analyzed using purposive sampling to assess the validity of the data. The study's findings indicated that the negative politeness strategy could not be implemented utilizing interrogative words, the bald on-record method, the off-record strategy, or the positive politeness strategy to the greatest extent possible. The findings of this study indicate that the circumstances of the situation and the culture of the speech participants assist the politeness technique. The contribution of this study to linguistic research on the politeness phenomenon of marriage between Japanese and Balinese can add to the characteristics of the results.

Keywords: COVID-19; English-Arabic Translation; Collocation; Adjective-Noun Collocation, Noun-Noun Collocation Collocations are used extensively in the English language, but their rendition into Arabic may prove problematic for translators. Difficulties in translating collocations can be exacerbated by their novelty and the speed with which they enter the lexicon. The unprecedented increase in research on the current pandemic has been due to a big public demand for COVID-19 related information, and equally bigger demand for translating that information into a language that the public can understand. The translation of COVID-19 collocations into Arabic can be challenging for the trainee translators who are inundated with new terms and phrases. The present study aimed to investigate the difficulties and procedures trainee translators used while rendering the lexical COVID-19 collocations from English into Arabic. A sample of 72 bachelor students at two Jordanian universities was asked to translate 15 English COVID-19 collocations within contextual sentences into Arabic. The selected collocations were chosen from the WHO website. The findings show that the participants faced several translation difficulties due to cultural and linguistic disparities between English and Arabic as well as the participants' insufficient knowledge about the novel virus. Data analysis indicates that participants used several translation techniques, such as equivalence, literal translation, reduction, synonymy, paraphrase, transposition, and couplet. The study concludes that translator training programs need to pay closer attention to trainees’ extra-linguistic skills with specific focus on cultural awareness. ...
