Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Communications - Specialized communication, Moi University (education), course: m-ed, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show that a common language is one of the most important features of a diverse community. Human communication is based on features that describe an event and capture emotions, needs, interests and fears. Language is used to resolve or escalate dispute. Opara (2016) asserted that People from different culture and social units perceive the world through the lens provided by their distinctive languages. Meaning that language provides a repertoire of words that name the categories into which the language users have divided their world. In fact, definitions of words are linguistically, culturally and contextually bound. Words carry meanings that make sense to members of a shared social environment. Conflict resolution relies heavily on word choices. Here language is key to dispute resolution because it is the words human beings in the world use as an accelerator to harmonious living or existential war fronts. There is an assumption in Kenya that conflict is best resolved when people can speak in one 'nativity', for instance, the kikuyu when faced with conflict can best sort out the issue in their native language because of the semiotics of the conflict. There is linguistic consistency where all the words used add value to the discourse.The researcher posits that in a country like Kenya, were national conflicts build from local dialectics, Kiswahili can be the unifying factor and a conflict resolution tool. Kiswahili as a trade language in Eastern Africa does accommodate the diversity of culture and language use. The paper explores the strengths of Kiswahili language in intercultural conflict resolution, and emphasizes the need to consider the uses of the language in national and transnational conflict resolution.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, Moi University (school of education), course: master of education, language: English, abstract: This study intended to investigate secondary school teachers' knowledge and skills in presentation of lessons based on the proverb in secondary schools in Eldoret West District of Uasin Gishu County in Kenya. This was motivated with a trend of inability of the learners in English at national examination level to bring out clear answers in relation to questions set that relate to the proverb. This is because proverbs are tested in all the three English papers. The study sought to determine the role of the English teachers in description and mode of presentation of a proverb based lesson. This was with a view of improving performance in English in the integrated syllabus.The theoretical framework of the study was based on The 'post modern' semiotic theory which presupposed that through the proverb, language learning should permeate all aspects of life. The research employed the descriptive survey research design. Questionnaires to teachers and Interview schedules were used in the collection of data. The findings of the study are significant to the curriculum developers and implementers especially English and literature teachers who are directly mandated with implementation of the integrated syllabus. It will also help to advice the teachers, school administrators, parents and the government on how children can develop in their life values as well as academic performance.
