Attitudes Of Ordinary Level English Teachers Regarding The Usage Of Poetry As A Tool To Improve English Language In The ESL Classroom With Reference To Galle District
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Ponnamperuma, P.
Using poetry in the ESL context. Teachers don’t use poetry to teach English. The role of poetry in today’s language studies has diminished due to the lack of interest of teachers and students in learning and teaching poetry in the ESL classroom. The main objective of this study was to investigate attitudes among ordinary level English teachers regarding the usage of poetry as a tool to improve English Language in the ESL classroom in the Galle district. Previous research points out that poetry was primarily based on interpretations of teachers and failed to develop creative analysis of the students. Randomly selected 5 ordinary level English teachers from Galle district were interviewed who consensually shared their teaching experiences. The interviews were semi structured and recorded. Based on the results of this study, teachers have adapted “information based approach” neglecting “Language based approach” and “Personal Response based approach”. The main findings of this study reveals that teachers’ inexperience in teaching poetry, priority not being given to teaching poetry, lack of awareness in teaching poetry has led to negligence of teaching poetry in the ESL classroom. Findings of this study has been used to develop practical recommendations in using poetry as a tool in Ordinary Level ESL classroom.
Awareness And Attitudes On The Variety Of English Used In Sri Lanka Among The Undergraduates Studying In State Universities In Sri Lanka
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Abesooriya, L.
This abstract outlines the results of a study which was carried out on the awareness and attitudes of undergraduates of state universities in Sri Lanka about the variety of English they use and the variety of English used in Sri Lanka. The study investigated students’ awareness of Sri Lankan English, the students’ awareness of the variety they use and their perspectives regarding the English they use. The study sample consisted of 119 undergraduates from different state universities. A questionnaire was distributed and online interviews were carried out for data collection. The findings showed that 32 undergraduates out of 119 claim that they use Sri Lankan English where 35 undergraduates out of 119 mentioned that they do not know the variety they are using. However, 34 undergraduates stated that they do not know that there is a variety called Sri Lankan English in Sri Lanka. According to the findings of this study, 37 undergraduates mentioned that they were presently using Sri Lankan English even though they learnt British English.
A Case Study On Care-Givers’ Language Variation
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Jayathissa, D.
The language used by the care-givers varies from one another and this variation affects on baby’s response towards each care-giver. Hence caregivers’ language variation directly effects on baby’s language acquisition in early childhood. Child care-givers’ interactions play a crucial role in child’s first language acquisition and early childhood development. This case study focuses on a nine months old baby who is in her preverbal babbling stage. Observations on baby’s interactions with the care-givers and collecting authentic speech samples of their interactions and baby’s response toward each care-giver were studied for three months. Results of this study manifested that the language used by each caregiver varies from one another and this variation makes a huge impact on baby’s responds as well. As this study only focuses on preverbal babbling stage, how this language variation influences on baby’s each stage of development would be a promising area for future studies.
Challenges Faced By The Undergraduates Of State Universities Who Speak Minority Languages: An Exploration Of The Sri Lankan Language Policies On Higher Education
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Randhuli, K.G.I.; Amarasinghe, H.P.; Kulathunga, K.M.J.S.
The present study attempts to investigate the challenges encountered by the undergraduates who speak minority languages in Sri Lankan state universities. Although there are varied issues that the minority undergraduates face, this area of research remains relatively understudied. The present study hypothesizes that (i) the undergraduates face difficulties due to the incompatibility between medium of instruction in the school and at the university; (ii) the undergraduates encounter problems in interacting in academic and non-academic settings and (iii) the authorities have taken necessary measures to implement the policies in order to minimize any issue that could arise. Random sampling was used for data collection. The sample consisted of 50 undergraduates from Sri Lankan state universities. For the study 50 online questionnaires were collected and 15 semi structured interviews were conducted. 88% of the participants were first language speakers of Tamil. 78% of them had studied in Tamil medium at school. 82% of them are studying in English medium at the university. The findings indicate that the undergraduates face problems in both the academic and non-academic settings. Although the constitution demonstrates some policies which are supposed to provide assistance to prevent such circumstances, the study identifies that necessary actions have not been taken. Hence; the first two hypotheses have been proven whereas the latter is falsified.
The Change In The Usage Of Slang Terms Over Time; With Special Reference To Sinhalese Slang Terms Used For Women
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of Linguistics and Department of English, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Liyanage, S.; Nawalahewa, S.
Slang is a type of language consisting of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal. They often convey humour, discrimination, offense and mostly negative meanings. Over time, they either die out from lack of use as groups move on to new terminology, or they may become so popular that they are added to the common language. The objective of this research is to explore the change in the slang terms used for women in the Sri Lankan context. It investigates how these slang terms semantically change over time. Here, the main focus was given on collecting slang terms used for ‘women’ in the Sri Lankan context from year 1970 to present. Different literatures were referred, and questionnaires were carried out using randomly selected individuals from different age groups, professions, culture, social status, users of social media, males and females in both rural and urban settings of Sri Lanka. Through the research it was revealed that a collection of slang words that were once fashionable are no longer in use. Further, the attitudes of males and females on slangs were explored. According to the analysis, the final outcome is, with the change of time slang words used for women change and new words come into use.
A Comparative Study on The Influence of Sri Lankan English on Newspaper Advertisements
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Sonali, A.M.R.; Anuththara, M.A.G.P.; Rajasekara ., W.M.V.N.
The use of English in Sri Lankan media dates back to the colonial period, especially when Colombo Journal was published in 1832. Since then, the use of English in the media has been subjected to various changes, especially with the evolution of the English language used in Sri Lanka. Thus, one can find different features of Sri Lankan English in newspapers, even in the advertisements. The current study focuses on different features of Sri Lankan English in 30 newspapers. The researchers will focus on advertisements in newspapers published within a decade. In order to identify new trends of Sri Lankan English, 3 newspapers from each year that belong to the years from 2008-2018 were analysed. The results indicate that, newspaper advertisements that belong to the first half of the decade contain a standard variety of English language, whereas, contemporary newspaper advertisements contain obviously a distinct variety of English, mostly affected by Sinhala-English code mixing. It appears that, due to the influence of code mixing, new words have entered Sri Lankan English through advertisements.
Creating Critical Theory Using Cinema-Semiotics For The Music Video Art
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Fernando, D.C.V.
Music video is considered a new art form in this era of digital media but it is a debate whether music video is an art form or merely popular commercialized industry. Although most of the music videos are only fan based commercialized videos, still there are many music videos which can be called as a piece of art because of their aesthetic approach. The art of music video is a collaboration of three major art mediums which are literature (lyrics and scripts), music and visual language. Andre Barters and Vladimir Props introduced the structure of the music video. Christian Metz, Roland Bath developed a cinema-semiotics for the film. Using Christian Metz cinema semiotics, we can create a suitable critical theory for music video art because both mediums share similarities in terms of structure. The structure of the music video contains visual language based on cinema semiotics, symbolism, the type of the editing rhythm. The content of the structure should always lead to the main concept of the song. The lyrics, the script and the story of the music video are the foundations of the content of the music video. This content leads to the philosophy and the ideology in the content music video. As any other art form, music video art also has that potential to express the philosophical and ideological content. In conclusion it is clear that there is a gap in the critical theory for music video art and using cinema semiotics there is potential in creating critical theory for music video art.
A Critical Investigation on Pragmatism in Buddhist Perspective
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of Pāli and Buddhist Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Rev. Embilipitiye Suseela
Pragmatism is a philosophical as well as a psychological concept which originated and developed in the western philosophy. It is also a philosophical school generally considered to have originated in the late nineteenth century. Pragmatism was developed against traditional philosophical thought. Charles Pierce (1839-1914) who introduced this new trend, saw that it was an efficient path to solve many social problems than through traditional solutions. William James (1842-1910) is the famous philosopher of pragmatism and he is the person who made pragmatism famous. Buddhism is a teaching of practice. Buddhism is pragmatic as it is concerned only about what is useful for the attainment of the goal it describes. Buddhist views of pragmatism are described in the Dhammacakkapavattana sutta, Sigālovada sutta, kālāma sutta, Dhammapada etc. The Eightfold path is considered to have identified pragmatism in Buddhism. In the first discourse, Four Noble Truths are introduced for the first time and it is stated that those truths have three circles (tiparivatta) and twelve models (dvādasākāra). From this abstract I expect to investigate whether Buddhism accepts views of pragmatism as it was introduced in western thought and how far it is comparable with Budhdhist thought. This abstract is based on primary (pāli canon) and secondary data (books, articles, journal).
“Dewa Danaya”: A Conventional Ritual In Kalagediara Estate Embilipitiya
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of Fine Arts, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya. Sri Lanka, 2018) Samanmalie, G.L.R.; Dayarathna, K.D.D.T.
The main objective of this paper is to explain the (Dewa Danaya) ritual in Kalagediara estate in Embilipitiya belonging to low country territory of Sri Lanka. The literal meaning of “Dewa Danaya” is alms-giving for gods. The gods in this connection are the regional deities led by Devol, commonly spelled as Devol Deviyo. The ritual is more popular in low country areas such as Galle, Matara, Benthara etc. The community performs Deva Danaya with the first half of the new crop. People expect the best wishing of the God for economy benefitting the community (try giving a good harvest) and thank him. In addition to the first half of their crop, they also offer food, clothes and other enrichments expecting fertility and benevolence. The present study will include both a literature survey with primary and secondary sources and a field survey in the related area. Discussions and interviews with village priests and the local community will also be conducted to obtain the necessary information. The research study will be helpful in restoring the Sri Lankan performing art traditions and bestowing the prolonged religious beliefs in the Sri Lankan community.
Difficulties Encountered By Translators When Translating Words Reflecting English Cuisine To Sinhala With Special Reference To The Translation Of Fifth Formers Of St Clare’s By Enid Blyton
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of Linguistics, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Thennakoon, T.M.N.M.
Translation can be defined as the act of transferring a text in one language into another language. Intra-lingual translation or translation which involves two different languages will be taken into consideration in this study. This study primarily focused on identifying the difficulties confronted by translators when translating from English to Sinhalese. In that regard, English acts as their source language and Sinhalese acts as their target language. In this study, culture specific words in the novel Fifth Formers of St Clare’s by Enid Blyton was employed as qualitative data whereas translations of those culture specific concepts/words were highlighted with the aim of identifying the difficulties encountered by translators when translating them into Sinhalese. Such difficulties and the manners in which the translators have overcome the difficulties will be observed as well. However, the research area is limited to identifying culture specific concepts related to food and difficulties translators encounter in translating them into Sinhalese. The research is intended to guide the novice translators when translating culture specific concepts that are likely to cause issues in translations.
Impact Of Borrowings From Sinhala On Sri Lankan English Within The Religious Domain
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching , Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Harischandra, W.R.I.P.
Sinhala and Tamil can be considered the two main widely spoken native languages in Sri Lanka. Among these two main native languages, Sinhala has a great impact on the variety of English spoken in Sri Lanka which is known as Sri Lankan English. Sri Lankan English contains a considerable amount of borrowings taken from Sinhala. This research paper aims at finding the influence of native languages in Sri Lanka on the variety of Sri Lankan English. This research paper attempts to provide insights on how Sinhala, the language of the majority in Sri Lanka has influenced Sri Lankan English in terms of borrowings. These borrowings are noticeable in the domains like religion and culture. The objective of this research paper is to show the influence of Sinhala borrowings to Sri Lankan English within the religious domain by analyzing data from literary Sinhala. In this research study, fifteen participants whose first language was Sinhala were asked to write a paragraph on “Vesak festival” and the borrowings they used in writing were analyzed in order to show the influence of Sinhala on Sri Lankan English. The sample of the research study are students who are doing Advanced Level Examination in Sri Lankan government schools.
The Impact Of Gender On Attitudes Towards Learning English As A Second Language
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Ekanayake, E.M.A.N.; Pravini, H.B.H.; Hansakie, D. W. P. A.
Science has proven that the gender is not only a biological difference but also a collection of differences in thinking and behaving. Many researchers have been studying about the impact of gender differences on many fields such as health and communication. Therefore modern researchers have taken a number of attempts to distinguish gender on language learning. This study aims to examine the impact of gender on attitudes towards learning English as a second language. A qualitative research study was carried out via questionnaires and interviews to collect data. Participants of this study were 50 undergraduates (25 males and 25 females) selected from different years and faculties from the University of Kelaniya. The findings of this study show a significant tendency of females than males in the process of English language learning. This research study will provide guidelines for future research and implies the necessity to carry out new strategies for English language teachers to reduce the gender gap which prevails in the present society.
The Impact Of Hegemonic Masculinity On English Language Learning In A Sri Lankan Context
(, Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Udeshika, D.; Wickramage, N.; Perera, S.S.
An English language learner is a person who is learning the English language in addition to his or her native language. In Sri Lanka, a language learning classroom comprises a majority of a female population than a male population. Since Sri Lankan society possesses a misconception that learning a language, specifically English, will only open the path to a profession such as teaching which is believed to be a ‘female profession’, and the majority of the male population are hesitant to engage in the field of learning English language. The males in society fear the harm that would be caused to their hegemonic masculine identity by learning English as a language instead of a subject like Mathematics which is believed to be a ‘masculine subject’. Raewyn Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity serves as an analytical instrument to identify those attitudes and practices among men that perpetuate gender inequality, involving both men’s domination over women and the power of some men over other (often minority groups of) men. This paper examines the impact of hegemonic masculinity on English language learning in a Sri Lankan context and the reasons for the aforementioned. It was found out that the majority of the male population held into the conception that their hegemonic masculine identity would be detrimental by choosing to learn English language over a subject such as Mathematics.
In Between Fact And Fiction: A Study On The Novel “Village In The Jungle” By Leonard Woolf
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Amrasinghe, H.
In the present study I intend to discuss the importance of facts on fiction, using the novel “Village in the Jungle” by Leonard Woolf. Being a novel written during the colonial rule, the novel portrays many socio-political facts regarding the colonial period of Sri Lanka. Among the many significant features of the novel, one outstanding feature is the availability of the diaries maintained by the author and the blue books which are available in print. In this study comparisons are drawn between the novel and the author’s service diaries to show the relationship between facts and fiction. This study is based on a textual analysis of the two books; “The Village in the Jungle” and “Diaries in Ceylon”, by Woolf. Woolf being a government civil servant during imperialism, who served as an Assistant Government Agent (AGA) in Hambantota, Sri Lanka, does not merely recite a story of a village which was romanticized by his imagination, but on the contrary he recreates true events that took place in this rural context in a way that British imperialism is recognized as one of the many factors that trod down the ignorant people of a rural village, the facts that are available in his diaries leave room to understand the social reality behind his novel as well as how a novelist alters and uses facts in creating fiction. Therefore in this study the relevance of the incidents and characters in the novel to the actual facts presented in the diaries will be discussed.
Investigating The Factors That Affect Esl Students’ Listening Comprehension With Reference To The 1st Year Humanities Students Of University Of Kelaniya
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Ilfa, M.I.; Jayasinghe, J.D.U.M.; Upamalika, T.N.
One of the most important components of language learning in the ESL context is listening. In spite of its importance, listening has been a neglected skill in ESL context since researchers considered it as an ability that would develop without assistance. However, recently there has been an increased focus on ESL listening comprehension among researchers. Though it is an important skill, there are some difficulties in listening comprehension among ESL students which can be classified as linguistic and non-linguistic difficulties. This research study aims to investigate some selected problematic areas in listening comprehension among most of the ESL students. In order to achieve the study objectives, the researchers will develop two data collection methods: secondary resources and classroom observation. To overcome those problems various techniques would be applied with reference to Bottom-Up and Top-Down strategies. Activities are designed to overcome those problems and to investigate its effectiveness to the development of their listening comprehension. 50 students from the Faculty of Humanities are selected as the sample. Moreover, the study will suggest some pedagogical implications to ESL teachers and learners to eliminate listening comprehension problems in the language teaching and learning process.
Issues Faced By A Translator In Translating Cultural Words Under The 5th Cultural Category Introduced By Peter Newmark: Sinhala To English
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of Linguistics, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Rathnamalala, R.I.B.S.U.
According to Newmark (1988) there are five cultural categories which a translator should focus on. The cultural categories vary from culture to culture and there are distinguished characteristics among them. This study focuses on the cultural words associated with the fifth cultural category ‘Gestures and Habits’ of the Sinhala culture and issues faced by a translator in translating those words from Sinhala to English. The required data were collected through observations and discussions. The gathered data were critically analysed separately under the two sectors, gestures and habits. Through the analysed data, it was found out that the cultural words under gestures and habits of the Sinhala culture have been greatly influenced by the Sri Lankan Sinhala customs and traditions and the translator sometimes found it difficult to translate because those customs and traditions are totally different from the target language culture. Furthermore, it was also found out that a translator should have a sound knowledge on the source language culture and the target language culture in addition to the language knowledge and skills. Therefore, the cultural knowledge will pave the path for a successful translation.
Korean Wave In Sri Lanka: Past, Present And Future
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of International Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Fernando, A.
“Korean Wave” is the increase in global popularity of South Korean culture since the 1990s. This phenomenon which began in Southeast Asia reached Sri Lanka a decade ago driven by the spread of Korean TV shows and music. Despite the abundance of global research on Korean Wave, no previous attempt has been made into tracing the Korean Wave in Sri Lanka. As images and information about South Korea are not familiar to Sri Lankan life, and as the country is heavily influenced by Indian and colonial cultures, the spread of Korean culture within a short period of time is an interesting subject of discussion. This paper attempts to discuss the beginning, spread, landmark moments, and the future of the Korean Wave in Sri Lanka. It shows that Sri Lankans were first introduced to Korean culture through the airing of Korean TV shows in local television channels, later accessed through means such as DVDs, movie streaming websites, and user generated content websites. Moving forward from Korean TV shows and movies, today Korean pop music is rapidly gaining a widespread local audience. This has resulted in the creation of active online fan communities on social media, a proliferation of Korean language classes, and an increasing interest in Korean culture within the island. The study is based on primary data collected through interviews of Korean fans, and secondary data collected from journal articles, websites and newspaper articles. The paper concludes that this increase in popularity of Korean culture, especially observed among youth, can challenge the status quo enjoyed by Indian and American cultural products
The Meme Culture And Its Influence On Sri Lankan English Morphology
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Abeythunga, M.; Jayasinghe, N.; Almeida, S.
This research study demonstrates the influence of “internet memes” on the morphology of language and language usage among the Sri Lankan youth. With the rapidly growing trend of Internet and social media, popular social media content in both Sinhala and English leads to mixed language usage among speakers of both languages. The research study focuses on how the “meme culture” continuously influences morphology through the widespread social media usage among the youth in the country. The research study was conducted based on memes and social media posts that are currently trending in Sri Lanka, and was not limited to content of Sri Lankan origin. A sample group of 50 students (aged 18 to 24 years) were given a questionnaire which tested their knowledge of popular meme references. Thereafter, speech samples and written content (obtained with the prior permission was of the subjects) were collected over a period of two weeks. The model of morphological analysis adopted in this study is based on Seneratne’s analysis on the morphology of Sinhalese and English code-mixing. This study shows that Sri Lankan youth are aware of popular meme trends and social media content which they refer in everyday conversation among peers. This confirms that these have a significant influence on the speech and vocabulary of Sinhala and English speaking youth. The contribution of the “meme culture” to the development of Sri Lankan English morphology in the current era can also be gauged through this research
Morphological Processes of SLE In Present Day Social Media
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Jayarathna, D.; Wazeer, S.; Weerawarna, N.
Sri Lankan English (SLE) has an exclusive lexical repertoire distinct from other varieties of English used in the Asian subcontinent. The study of SLE morphology in social media is relatively an understudied area in the scope of Sri Lankan English morphological processes. This research study was conducted on morphological processes of Sri Lankan English in the present day social media. The study was based on a statement by Gunesekera (2005) in her book The Postcolonial Identity of Sri Lankan English; “The most productive morphological processes in Sri Lankan English are borrowing, compounding and affixation” (p.143). Thus, this study was aimed to look for the relevance and validity of this statement to Sri Lankan social media in 2018. The research study was conducted qualitatively examining three social media domains such as Facebook, Whatsapp and Viber. For the purpose of data collection, 10-15 of Facebook memes, Whatsapp and Viber chats were obtained from individuals who consented. They were examined and words from compounding, affixation and borrowing were listed in order to spot the frequency of their usage in social media. According to the findings, majority of English speakers in Sri Lanka use Sri Lankan English lexical items in social media. Moreover, Sri Lankan English compoundings and borrowings are still frequently used in social media while affixations are not frequently used. Therefore, it can be concluded that the validity of the statement by Gunesekera (2005) is questionable in certain aspects with concern to the words used by Sri Lankans in social media domains which are built through compounding, borrowing and affixation.
Morphological Variations In ‘Sri Lankan Song Lyrics’ Written In Both Sinhala And English
(Proceedings of the Undergraduate Research Symposium (HUG 2018), Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Kavishka, D.; Nilaweera, I.; Illepperuma, A.S.
Entertainment currently plays an integral part in modern man’s life. Undoubtedly, music plays a significant role in the field of entertainment and it has changed rather remarkably due to the concept of globalization. More often the song writers use more than one language and their bilingual pieces of work have been embraced by the audience as a result of bilingualism among many people. This paper is composed of a typological study based on 30 selected bilingual Sri Lankan song lyrics which have been extracted from secure web sites. The lyrics are categorized by analyzing their deviant bilingual characteristics and also by looking over how their linguistic identity can be categorized under certain morphological aspects. Therefore, this paper is a demonstration of various morphological processes evident in Sri Lankan song lyrics which depicts the creativity in the modern entertainment industry.
