Teaching Methods and Teachers Conference/Seminar Attendance: The Gateway to Quality Education in Nigeria

/in /by

Nigeria is one of the few nations in the world that prioritizes educational excellence. Teachers play an essential role in their students’ development both academically and personally; therefore, it is imperative that they possess qualities such as subject matter expertise, ethical and intellectual vigilance, a genuine interest in their students, and the competence to carry out their duties effectively. This is only possible with sufficient training and seminar participation. Teachers may benefit from going to a seminar in many ways, including improving their communication skills, learning new information, making new connections, and becoming re-inspired. In order to ensure that the stated goals are met, a teacher must take on several hats in the classroom. He takes on the responsibilities of a parent and a confidant in addition to those of a boss, depending on the circumstances. All of these can be modified to improve schooling standards. In light of this, this paper investigates how teachers’ pedagogical practices and participation in professional development opportunities like conferences and seminars contribute to improving education quality in Nigeria.

/in /by

Integrity and public trust can be bolstered when law enforcement agencies act ethically and morally, making them powerful tools in the fight against corruption. Law enforcement officials have high ethical standards and are expected to treat everyone equally and impartially. The greatest benefit of ethical and moral law enforcement is that it helps reduce corruption. By ensuring that law enforcers adhere to the ideals of fairness and honesty in their daily work, ethics and morals can help reduce corruption. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a literature approach and a statutory approach. The results of the study state that efforts that can be made to maintain law enforcement professionalism are by increasing knowledge about ethics and morality, fostering a sense of moral responsibility, strengthening the internal control system, and imposing sanctions on those who violate these standards. In addition, strengthening the interaction between law enforcers and the community as well as improving the quality of service and performance of law enforcement officials is very important in increasing public trust in law enforcement.

Code-Switching in Relation to Other Language-Contact Phenomena: A Theoretical Account

/in /by

Research on code-switching (CS) has witnessed a major terminological issue, especially with regard to its relation to other concepts of language contact phenomena. CS, as a research area, is troubled with the question of terminological confusion. Sometimes, researchers use different labels to indicate the same notion; in others, they use the same term to refer to distinct notions. Hence, there is no definite consensus on the territory covered by the terms related to the CS phenomenon such as CM, borrowing, transfer and so on. This article attempts to explore and clarify these terms and examine their similarity or distinction to CS. The latter is reviewed in comparison to four close and interrelated linguistic phenomena, namely code-mixing, diglossia, borrowing, and interference. This review is based on reviewing the literature and reflecting on it.
