“…Professional development (PD) can help early learning educators increase classroom conversations (e.g. August et al, 2023; Crawford et al, 2022; Marulis & Neuman, 2010; Pianta et al, 2017; Timperley et al, 2021; Wasik & Hindman, 2020). Effective PD models often provide ample child-friendly, culturally sustaining books and book-related activities as hubs for conversation because books can introduce children to information outside of their daily experience, through rich and complex language, often with pictures to support comprehension.…”

In their excellent review paper, Abbot-Smith et al. call for an emphasis on whole-classroom, tier-1 intervention approaches to supporting conversational skills in the preschool and primary grades. In our commentary, we discuss the benefits of and challenges to classroom conversation, particularly during the school transition period (ages 2 through 6), and we highlight several pathways that might help teachers foster more conversation with young children.

“…The study concluded that rhyme "can facilitate active prediction". Meanwhile, more recent studies by Riordan et al (2018) and Timperley et al (2020) showed the effect and importance of rhyme in developing the "children's language and emergentliteracy related skills". These studies about the importance of rhyme in language acquisition and story-telling align very well with the fact that the Qur'an was sent down from Allah in an audible form to be recited first to Prophet Mohammed who did not know how to read or write and have to memorise it well to pass it on to the rest of the world.…”

The uprising that eventually ousted Muammar Gaddafi was one political enigma that seems to have defied the imagination of most Africanist scholars. Many questions may arise, yet not all may find suitable answers. This paper however attempts to tackle some of these questions in the light of the respective roles played by the AU and NATO in the entire episode heralding the demise of the Libyan leader. First, could NATO's involvement in the Libyan conflict be a pay-back package for the Lockerbie Bombing and alleged Gaddafi's sponsorship of international terrorism? Secondly, why did the Africa Union, an organization whose conception and formation cannot be totally separated from visible efforts of Muammar Gaddaffi, stand aloof while NATO forces aided and abetted his destruction? Thirdly, given the subsequent trend of insecurity that greeted Gaddafi's exit from power both in Libya as represented by the warring factions, and globally as represented by the ISIS, could the objectives of Gaddafi's removable be said to have been me?

Narratives play an essential role in human communication and culture. A well-tailored narrative, whether it is a short story or a long novel, is considered a powerful tool in influencing people's thoughts, beliefs and therefore their behaviours. The glorious Qur'an is rich in narratives of various types. This paper focuses on studying the parable of "The Companions of the Cave" which is a very prominent narrative among the Muslim community. The present work is mainly concerned with studying the linguistic features of this parable. The investigation, presented in this paper, tackles all levels of linguistic analysis including: the phonological, lexical and morphological, grammatical, semantic, and stylistic levels. The investigation reveals a plethora of linguistic features in such a short story. One of the prominent findings of this research is that the stylistic features are plentiful than the other linguistic ones given the brevity of the story. It is worth mentioning that different modes of narration have been used in this significant parable such as authorial tone, direct speeches as well as dialogues. Furthermore, the scene description as well as the employment of semantic characteristics such as synonymy, antonymy, hyperbole, hyponymy and figures of speech allows the reader/listener to construct vivid images of the story. The paper also highlights the significance of employing the various phonological features on top of them are the auditory components such as rhyme and internal-rhyme, alliteration, assonance and consonance to engage the audience, grab their attention and facilitate the memorisation of the story.
