Abstract: Considered by critics the earliest example of Harold Pinter's "comedy of menace", The Room is Harold Pinter's first play, written and first produced in 1957. Although stylistic features of the play have been studied by many scholars, socio-historical readings of the play have been neglected. In this article, a new approach of reading will be suggested that considers social and historical elements of the play, in addition to the form and stylistic features. Using Georg Lukács’ theories regarding historical drama, this research aims to show how Harold Pinter’s The Room depicts capitalistic reproduction and social threats the working class faces in a world that forces classes to engage in the internal social competition, where one always is doomed in falling out of socio-economical order. Although Lukács bases the definition of the historical novels on Shakespearean’s historical dramas, it will be showcased how Lukacsian concepts like totality, anachronism, and distance .....

Abstract: One of the often-overlooked competencies of a global teacher in the Philippines is language proficiency. The use of English as a medium of instruction in primary education occurs in Grade 4, succeeding the mother tongue-based instruction from K1-Grade 3. This research analyzed the impact of the language proficiency of the pre-service teachers to their teaching competence. The language proficiency is divided into two categories: linguistic performance and paralinguistic features. The former is the verbal skills in communication while the latter encompasses body language, facial expression, gestures, and voice. Pre-service teachers were observed and assessed during class facilitation. Most have received an ‘Average Proficiency’ rating in linguistic performance although pronunciation rating is the lowest due to phonological features that are influenced by first language. The assessment on voice projection and their pronunciation rating proved to have significant impact to th.....

Abstract: Learning a second language (i.e. English) with the use of mobile technology has been widely accepted around the world. While there are numbers of research focusing on its effectiveness, students’ readiness in accepting the learning approach is yet to be studied. This research aims to investigate the level of readiness among students towards learning the English language via mobile. An adapted version of Parasuraman’s Technology Readiness Index (TRI) questionnaires was employed as the research instrument. A total of 180 respondents from a public university in Malaysia was involved in the study. The research found that the students projected a moderate level of readiness. This is as they are highly optimistic and innovative towards mobile learning but also have a high level of discomfort and insecurities towards it. It is suggested for further research to be carried out to identify the factors influencing students’ readiness and widen the sample by including other tertiar.....

Abstract: Harriet Beecher Stowe and Zhang Ailing are two renowned female writers who enjoy highly comments in the history of female feminism literature. They are writing from their own experiences and female perspectives to awaken the females and common people to pursue personal happiness and freedom. Besides, they advocated to transfer feminist ideas into daily behaviors. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s advocation of abolishing slavery promoted the large-scale social thinking, echoing the abolition movements in Britain and France. Her feminist ideas not only broke the shackles from being male’s attachments of females, but also changing the weak and fragile images of females. What’s more important, she led the American society to rethink about slavery and female position. However, the Chinese female writer, Zhang Ailing, as one of theFour Female Talents “her feminist ideas are still restricted to be a fancier attachment to males. The ultimate goal of females’ fighting and calculating.....

The revitalization of Malaysian theatre after the 1930s marked the beginning of the revival of Malaysian modern drama. Since then, the narrative, themes, genres, and performance elements of modern Malaysian drama have expanded to include a variety of forms, including postcolonial drama.
