Nowadays, multimodal texts are widely used in the media, schools, and daily life. There have been several studies on nonverbal semiotics in multi-semiotic texts. This study examines the complementarity of verbal and visual semiotic modes in an Iraqi EFL textbook. Royce's (2007) inter-semiotic complementarity and (Kress, van Leeuwen's 1996) structure of information value were used to analyse an Iraqi EFL textbook titled English for Iraq (Garnet, 2017). According to the analysis, the entire textbook is not built on a page-by-page path that allows linear and nonlinear reading. Although the information layout varies from page to page, the overall structure of the textbook image allows for a linear reading path from start to finish. Texts in multimodal EFL are required. This study investigated the relationship between verbal text and image in terms of address, social distance, and participation because multimodality …

PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION (2021) 58(2): 831-840 An Interdisciplinary Journal Article Received: 16th October, 2020; Article Revised: 30th December, 2020; Article Accepted: 08th January, 2021831 www.psychologyandeducation.net A Study of Speech Error Phenomena T.O.T Experienced by Advanced EFLSpeakers Riyadh Sarhan Al Jebouri University of Kufa, Najaf, [email protected] ABSTRACT This work is inspecting the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon, as a sample of advanced EFL users would experience it. It is grounded on thehypothesis that since speaking is a universal process for all human beings, then production models and theories should be universal too, fordescribing and explaining any phenomenon in any language used whether that language is a native or a foreign language and the occurrenceT.O.T. (tip-of-the-tongue) phenomenon in specific. For this reason, advanced EFL users could experience such a phenomenon when using theEnglish language for their every day or their academic life. This paper consists of a theoretical part in which it is considered the basis fordefining and explaining the T.O.T. phenomenon and understanding the discussion of the study's expected results. However, in the discussionpart, the researcher sheds light on the practical side that contains the questionnaire work analysis, the discussion of the results, and theconclusion that would be expected to be achieved. Based on the above hypothesis while, there were a restricted number of the T.O.T.s;conversely, in such cases, nearly most of the production of speech models and theories that explain the T.O.T. phenomenon is applicable.Concerning the identified T.O.T.s cases, they occurred more with deficient neighbourhoods than words that have sufficient neighbourhoods

this paper studies the organization and management of classroominteraction in second languageclassroom as an important feature of ateaching and learning process.

Machine translation is the only available alternative to human translation. Thus, evaluating machine translation software, is very important to improve the performance of these software. This study aims to highlight the difference between human translation and machine translation with reference to speech to text program. In this study, the approaches of translation are mentioned as direct approach, interlingua approach, and the transfer approach. The problem of this program is with the literary translation more than the other types of translation as scientific and idioms. The most accurate is the scientific one as this study proves. As a solution to overcome the problem of literary translation is that machine translation software should be modified and updated continuously, so that they can keep pace with the follow of literary terms. Also, the study shows the advantages and disadvantages of using machine translation. Moreover, the work illustrates the types of linguistic problems encountered in machine translation, and some solutions to overcome these problems.
