“…This study highlights that some outstanding elements of the Medieval period are interrelated, such as glories in the battles, prevailing social and religious paradigms, cultural codes, and prominent social images like knighthood. In addition to the achievements, wars, and historical events in the literary recordings, images of cultures and people are significant to comprehend their narratives as Gesa Stedman (2006) highlights that "images, debates and actions are in some way interconnected" which means: "the symbolic side of culture -ideas, concepts, verbal images and stereotypes -cannot be separated from the material side -actions, goods, people and vice versa. (p. 221).…”

This study investigates how the cultural codes in Medieval romances reveal profound knowledge about the values of the Middle Ages societies through the theory of imagology. The image of a knight representing a social class after the hierarchal classification of the feudal system and the codes of chivalry sustained by them are acknowledged to have a remarkable influence on Medieval literature through the romances along with the historical chronicles. Employing the discursive study of imagology, knights are portrayed to possess the primary images after swearing the oaths of chivalry at the dubbing ceremonies. Correspondingly, they promise to carry this title of knighthood with strict obedience to the heroic and moral codes like being loyal to the king and the lady, protecting the good while fighting against the evil, seeking curiosity, and struggling for justice by keeping honour above anything and sacrificing their lives for their country. The abovementioned codes of chivalry are perceived as sacred images of a knight, still, the alteration of these values over time is observed in Medieval texts. The present paper analyses the transformation of chivalric images over time, approximately between the 12th and 14th centuries, by comparing two distinguished Medieval romances, Boeve De Haumtone and Fouke Fitz Waryn. The codes of chivalry in the texts are represented through two valiant knights, Boeve and Fouke, as venturesome heroes of the legends. Th e study observes how these two romances demonstrate the alteration in the perception of the chivalric codes and the social attitudes by embracing new connotations in heroic values. This article employs imagology, the cross-cultural perspective on national stereotypes, and their expression in literary works. The conclusion of the research adopts a constructivist discourse on national stereotypes and their social effects.

Sixth, Hiep (2006) and Stedman (2006) research aimed at investigating research culture but Hiep (2006) focused on English language professionals, while Stedman focused on a new research paradigm for English studies.

Learning English for Japanese is not as easy as people think. Teachers should provide a way to immerse Japanese students. Therefore, this study aimed to understand how Japanese English teachers immersed students in learning English, what challenges that students and teachers were facing and their perceptions toward the International Work Camp. This case study collected the data from 20 students and 10 teachers from various countries using interviews and an observation checklist. The data were analyzed in several steps, starting from data collection, data reduction, data display to data conclusion. The findings of this study show that Japanese and non-Japanese teachers collaborated to immerse students in attractive teaching ways, such as drilling techniques, gaming, singing, using cards, playing outside, grouping, etc. Besides, teachers also kept motivating and reinforcing them to speak English. Furthermore, students’ barriers in speaking were pronunciation, anxiety, grammar, vocabulary, and less practice. Problems were not only faced by students as teachers also had hindrances. Therefore, through the International Work Camp, students could learn to speak English effectively. They could interact with other students and get English speaking competence immersion with several native English teachers. The students also had good perceptions of this work camp.
