SUMMARY:Seminar: Religious contexts of women’s vulnerability to HIV in Ghana
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The seminar entitled ‘Religious contexts of women’s vulnerability to HIV in Ghana‘ will be delivered by Dr Yaw Adjei-Amoako on Thursday 6 October from 1-2pm. Join us at the Sorby Room in the Wager Building on Whiteknights Campus. This seminar is open to all University staff and students. \nAbstract: \nHIV continues to exact its toll in sub-Saharan African countries\, including Ghana\, distorting their demographics\, and weakening their economies and institutions. Little is known about the role that religious denominations play in the spread or control of HIV in Ghana. Using semi-structured interviews and focus group discussion data collected in various Christian congregations in rural and urban areas in Ghana\, this paper explores how women’s vulnerability to HIV are mediated by type of Christian denomination – ‘mainstream’ churches or ‘healing’ churches. The results point to differences in women’s exposure to HIV-related information\, knowledge\, attitudes and behaviour to the disadvantage of women who attended healing churches\, particularly in the rural area. The study concludes that interventions aimed at initiating behavioural change and reducing women’s vulnerability to HIV must be comprehensive\, broadly oriented in the communities and take into consideration the many complex personal and contextual factors\, including religious affiliation and participation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:“Now I Hear What You Say” – How Short EAP Courses Can Foster Successful Academic Interactional Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Join the Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (CeLM) for a free online talk by Clare Wright (University of Leeds)\, Anna Tsakalaki (University of Reading) and Mei Lin (University of Newcastle) on English for Academic Purposes on March 17th at 3.30pm (UK time). \nIn globalised higher education\, strategies to build academic interactional competence can be key to international students’ success\, e.g. in seminars and oral assessments. Linguistically\, academic interaction requires meaning-focused\, other-oriented oral skills\, which can be challenging for international second-language (L2) students to acquire\, even with specific training. \nIn this talk we are going to argue that even short-term English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses can have valuable potential in boosting oral language strategies and skills\, particularly in listening\, which are needed for successful academic interactional competence. \nIn this study\, we report on data from 230 postgraduate students of mixed L1s. We compared use of L2 (English) listening and speaking strategies at the start and end of a 5-week EAP programme at a UK university. \nWe found a moderate significant improvement over time in meaning-focused listening strategies\, and some evidence in increased use of a wider range of speaking strategies. Further factor analysis revealed a subtle but clear shift towards more other-oriented stance in both listening and speaking strategy use\, although with much individual variation\, and no significant correlation with proficiency. \nThis study is one of the first to use speaker stance analysis in studying L2 academic communication. It provides some initial evidence to suggest that\, if taken further\, strategy teaching may enhance international students’ interactional competence when listening and speaking in a HE learning environment. \nTo register to attend this online talk please click here.
