Abstract: In recent years, acts of terrorism have increased world over. Arguably, every country in the world has suffered terror attack on its soil, or lost a person(s) in terror related crimes or its domestic or foreign interests have been affected or targeted. In Africa, from 2006-2016, the number of terror attacks increased more than 1000%! This was the same in Europe including attacksin the heart and political seat of Europe – Belgium. In the United States of America, there have been several attacks, with Orlando shooting being the worst on U.S soil since 9/11. In this article, authors posit that as the war on terror intensifies, terrorist have also learnt to be more sophisticated making it hard to defeat them decisively. The authors also suggest that there is increased securitization in name of fighting terrorism...........

Title | : | A Social-Cultural Theoretical Basis of Inter-disciplinary Teaching for English Majors in China |
Country | : | China |

: | 10.9790/0837-2305063537 |
Abstract: An inter-disciplinary teaching approach is on the rise in China. The basic rationality is that only by this approach can the students be versatile and be better prepared to meet the needs of the market. But the theoretical basis for such an educational reform is a less concern for Chinese educators. This paper is an attempt to illustrate the social-cultural theoretical basis for inter-disciplinarian teaching so that this approach can better be understood and more widely accepted.The theoretical basis can be found in its definition, in researchers and theorists who proposed theories of learning that highlight the social and contextualized nature of learning. In the end, the interdisciplinary approach is important and meaningful for students as well as for teachers.

Abstract: Egbela is the traditional religion in Edda, a community in the Eastern Nigeria. It is addressed as Egbela Jew because the people believed that it was god that brought them from their archetypal home Owi Hebrew‟s descendant. In appreciation of his guidance and military leadership, his worship was mandatory for all the people. This god is worshipped yearly at a certain time of the year. The occasion is purely religious because the priests and people sing in praise of Egbela who has fought a new set of pious and valiant men for successfully completing the rigorous induction into the traditional religion. Like other traditional gods such as "Ogun‟ in Yoruba land, Egbela is also a complex being.........

Abstract: This study probed into variations in the production of dental fricatives and post alveolar affricates by second learners(L2) of English language. The study examined if the learners could produce the dental fricatives [θ], [ð] and post alveolar affricates [tʃ], [dʒ] because the sounds do not exist in their first language(L1) while [dʒ] and the voiced post alveolar fricatives [ʒ] are allophones in their L1 in congruence with the Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis. The data were collected from six government owned schools in Ebonyi State of Nigeria. The findings of the study showed that some of the learners substituted the voiceless dental fricatives [θ] with the voiceless alveolar plosive[t] and substituted the voiced dental fricative [ð] with the voiced alveolar plosive [d]. Furthermore, they substituted the voiceless post alveolar affricate[tʃ]........
