“…This research was similar to others in that it showed speech therapists had modest levels of job satisfaction [11]. The results are in agreement with earlier research; in which speech therapists saw their correlations with job satisfaction [12].…”

Background: A speech-language pathologist's (SLP) job is demanding but rewarding. Job satisfaction for speech pathologists is an essential factor. Speech-language pathologists work with children and adults to identify, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive communication, and swallowing problems. To the best of our knowledge, no previous research has investigated the aspects associated with job satisfaction, which may improve or reduce stress for SLPs.Purpose: This study aimed to assess Pakistani speech-language pathologists/ therapists' job satisfaction in different workplaces.Method: Cross-sectional research design was used to study the variables. A sample was comprised of 117 speech therapists. The data was collected through an online survey due to the current pandemic situation. Google forms were sent to the speech pathologist working in schools, clinics, hospitals, universities, and special needs centers.Result: Most of the participants were 25 to 30 years old, having a degree of masters and bachelors in speech-language pathology. Most of the participants were in the initial stages of their career experience and working in special care centers. In addition to this, most of the participants do not have much workload and their working hours were between 6 to 10 hours per week. Analysis of variance showed that there is no difference of working organizations in job satisfaction of speech-language pathologists. Conclusion:No difference was found in job satisfaction among speech and language pathologists working in various settings.

“…Data were collected from children in Ho Chi Minh City, and not other areas of Southern Viet Nam. While the sample (n = 132) was slightly smaller than the sample gathered in Northern Viet Nam (n = 195) (Phạm & McLeod, 2019), these data contribute to foundational knowledge for the emerging speech-language pathology profession in Viet Nam (Atherton, Davidson, & McAllister, 2017). It would be useful to gain data from more children with a wider range of ages (beginning with 2-year-old children) from other areas of Southern Viet Nam who speak the Southern Vietnamese dialect, as well as from Central Vietnam.…”

Understanding typically developing children's speech acquisition is useful to assist speechlanguage pathologists' diagnosis and intervention planning for children with speech sound disorders. The aim of this research was to investigate Southern Vietnamese-speaking children's speech accuracy and intelligibility. Participants were 132 children aged 3;0-5;11 living in Southern Viet Nam (Ho Chi Minh City) whose consonants, semivowels, vowels, and tones were assessed using the Vietnamese Speech Assessment (VSA) and parent-reported intelligibility was assessed using the Vietnamese version of the Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS-VN). Participants' percentage of consonants correct (PCC) was significantly lower for the younger children compared with the other age groups. Mean PCC was 89.19 (SD = 7.83) at 3;0-3;5 years and 99.31 (SD = 1.33) at 5;6-5;11 years. Percentage of semivowels correct was higher than the percentage of initial and final consonants correct. Participants produced tones and vowels accurately even from the youngest age group. On average, the participants were reported to be usually to always intelligible and were more intelligible with their parents than other communication partners. There was a positive, weak correlation between speech accuracy (PCC) and intelligibility (ICS-VN). There was no sex effect for PCC and no significant effect for age or sex on intelligibility. These data provide information about typical speech acquisition to support the emerging speech-language pathology profession in Viet Nam.

“…However, the very concept of profession remains much disputed (Sciulli, 2005;Evetts, 2013). For instance, identities happen to emerge in fields where professions do not have certifications and credentials (Armstrong & McDowell, 2018), where nascent occupations are cultivated (Atherton et al, 2017) and where hybrid professional roles across occupational boundaries develop (Colley & Guéry, 2015).…”

The growth of esports has resulted in the creation of new roles and careers such as esports coaches, and with that, a need for professional support and development. However, at the moment, there is little foundational knowledge, training or resources for esports coaches who, as a result, are left to their own instincts and experiences in place of official standards and guidelines. Thus, this study seeks to address this gap in esports infrastructure, resources, and career development by examining the emerging professional identity of twenty-five esports coaches through semi-structured interviews. The results highlight a series of unique challenges and point to a unique professional identity of esports coaches that weaves together themes of pioneers in a new industry, self-educators, hybrid coaches, and parental figures.
