Abstract: Higher education in Vietnam has received widespread criticism of its poor quality, and the government has promulgated a national set of standards for quality assurance and accreditation in an attempt to improve the quality. This research is designed to examine quality culture in higher education in the Vietnamese context. The methodological approach taken in this research is a multiple case study, underpinned by a quality culture conceptual framework suggested by the European University Association (2006). A qualitative approach was used to explore how academic leaders, academics, and quality assurance members interpreted and responded to quality assurance mechanisms, and how they committed to quality. Thirty five participants from three universities volunteered to take......

Abstract: Organisations around the globe are currently experiencing significant decline in revenue, bankruptcy and job losses regardless of their size as a result of covid-19 pandemic. By implication, the travel bans, quarantine measures and boarder closures have also contributed immensely to the challenges of businesses. In order to sustain business operations, human resource managers need to embrace novel methods of operation to cope with the new challenges arising from the pandemic. Therefore, calculated and rapid responses in form of policies, combined with strong multidimensional leadership skills are required to control the effects of Covid-19 on human resources practices on employees and the organisation as a whole. The study provides an overview of the challenges of human resource professionals, especially.......

Abstract:Background: Assessment feedback is an essential element in the teaching-learning process. Assessment feedback allows students to reflect, analyze, and assess their own learning. But it can harm students to a great extent if done wrong especially in learning Mathematics. Materials and Methods: This research is a qualitative case study that analyzes pre-service teachers' perceptions on assessment feedback in Mathematics based on their knowledge and experiences towards the matter of interest. This study focuses on building a theory on the nature of assessment feedback, an explanatory model. Using purposive sampling, focus group discussions were conducted through interview. Fifty-four pre-service teachers specializing in Mathematics education in a certain university in Eastern Visayas, Philippines participated in this study. The researcher used thematic process and theoretical coding in analyzing the data. Results: Four themes were identified, Feedback is Communicative, Feedback is Purposive, Feedback is a Process, and Feedback is a tool for learning.

Abstract: The ultimate goal of this paper is to provide an in-depth analysis of the L2 learners' acquisition of parasitic gaps and their constraints. A major point to note is that the licensing category of an English parasitic gap is only a DP, whereas the licensing category of a Korean parasitic gap is a DP, PP, and VP. A further point to note is that an English parasitic gap is subject to a wh-island, an adjunct island, and the pronominal condition, whereas a Korean parasitic gap is not subject to these constraints. It is important to note that in English and Korean, a real gap must be object case-marked as a licenser of a parasitic gap. Additionally, it is worthwhile noting that English parasitic gaps cannot be available from name positions and existential-there constructions, but Korean parasitic gaps can. When it comes to the results of our experiment, it is interesting to note that Korean is a superset grammar when compared to English since a Korean parasitic gap requires a wh-trace and NP trace as its licenser, whereas an English parasitic gap requires only a wh-trace as its licenser. Additionally, the L2 learners looked for similarities......

Abstract: Gender being a product of the society influences the use of language among the speakers of Tiv language, thereby propagating and maintaining discrimination or status quo bias against women in the Tiv land. Hence, the paper set out to examine the differences in language use among the speakers of Tiv language based on masculinity and femininity. Primary data were collected for the study through oral interviews and using the researchers' introspective knowledge of the language. The paper analysed the collected data by adopting the Baron's Decision Making Model which explains some rationale behind decisions taken without considering the role of emotions in the course of......
