Abstract: The slow process of resolving conflicts and violence in Poso is inseparable from the model of handling conflicts carried out by the government, in this case by putting forward a security approach. Over time it turns out that violence continues. Therefore, the researchers felt they were interested in criticizing the model of Poso conflict and violence handling carried out by the government and offered a soft power model approach, namely through "hybridization of the Poso conflict resolution discourse". This study aims to determine discourse hybridization processes in Poso conflict resolution. The research paradigm used is constructivism with a qualitative approach. Key informants are Religious Leaders, Customary Figures, Community Leaders, NGOs, Mass Media, and Government........

Abstract: It is not in doubt that the four civilian administrations of the Fourth Republic from 1999 to 2018 have made frantic efforts through the Nigeria‟s foreign policy and economic relations to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the country. However, all the four administrations of Obasanjo, Yar‟adua, Jonathan and Buhari have underperformed where they failed to effectively utilize the country‟s foreign policy and economic relations towards re-directing all the attracted FDI and other foreign capital inflows (revenue sources) towards boosting Nigeria‟s industrial and manufacturing sectors/subsector of the domestic economy. This vital sector is the nascent moving global currency......

Abstract: There is a great consensus among researchers and educators that teachers must be well-prepared, especially for the sake of boosting the quality of education. This paper aimed at investigating the factors that affect EFL teacher's participation in teacher professional programs in Moroccan public high schools. To this end, the survey was administered to high public school teachers to identify the obstacles that hinder their participation in TPD programs and factors that foster their willingness to take part in Professional opportunities. The sample of the study comprised (30) EFL teachers in Moroccan public high schools. The findings demonstrated that financial support and effectiveness of the TPD programs strongly correlate with teachers' willingness to participate in TPD opportunities. Based on the findings of the study, several recommendations were suggested, from which are the need to ensure quality in devised programs and to support teachers financially to facilitate their access to fruitful professional opportunities.(151).

Abstract: Formative assessment is of great importance for both teachers and students. It is significant for students to foster their initiative and enthusiasm in learning and for teachers to have a better idea of their students' performance. It is especially helpful for students to develop their ability of self-regulation, which is considered to be a major factor that leads to students' improved language competence in English language learning. With the debut of the National Standards for Teaching Quality of Undergraduate Majors in Colleges and Universities (National Standards, NS) in China, applying formative assessment in English leaning class appropriately should be the trend at present and in the future in China

Abstract: This paper is an attempt to study the inter-state border disputes in north-east India with special reference to Assam-Nagaland border conflict in the border areas of Golaghat district. The north-east region of India comprising of eight states has been gradually transforming into a conflicting area that breaks the harmony between the states and also undermines the concept of north-east India as a prosperous and culturally rich region of India. Due to some social, political and economic issues, this north east India divided into various states which were under the same umbrella at a time. Several inter-state disputes take place in this region with the upcoming of political and social unrest. The Naga insurgency that started in the late 1950's is known as one of the unresolved armed conflicts.........

Abstract: Transforming The World: Agenda 2030 for sustainable development clearly defined the goals to sustainably manage the natural resources and to keep our surroundings or our campus ecologically rich[1].This includes the inevitable measures taken or formulation of plans to achieve the goals of environmental preservation.The plans are based on both long term and short term goals for ecological preservation and making the campus more bio diversified [2].This also involves the adoption of renewable energy resources and technologies for a makeshift and attitudinal change from the usage of non-renewable energy resources [3].

Abstract: This research aims at delving deep into the reality whether code-switching and code-mixing are of negative impact on the Bangla language or they can be a useful tool for the sake of dynamic communication. This research diagnoses socio-psychological contexts of code-switching and code-mixing drift among the young speakers of Bangladesh with an eye to getting to the reality. The paper cares about these people for they are the representative-speakers of Bangladesh who, at present, are continuously coming into contact with powerful languages of the world and their influences thereby in wider range for globalization. This paper addresses a practical gap that no researcher has yet decided how code-switching and code-mixing can be effective tools for the Bangladeshi speakers without undermining their mother tongue and their linguistic aspirations. This research paper paves the way for getting at a definitive.....
