Item Language Formation in Linguistic Landscape and Teachers’ Views on Its Use for Elt Pedagogy(Facullty of Education English, 2018) Pujara, Dev SinghThe study entitled Language Formation in Linguistic Landscape and Teachers’ Views on its use for ELT Pedagogy was conducted to find out the language formation system on linguistic landscapes in terms of number of languages used, priority in the selection of language, transliteration, translation, code-mixing and non-standard structures. Similarly, English language teachers’ views on linguistic landscapes in relation to ELT pedagogy were explored throughout the study. The study followed the explanatory sequential mixed-method design. The population for the research consisted of two different areas. For quantitative part of the study, the photos of one hundred nongovernmental linguistic landscapes (LLs) from three areas of Kathmandu district including Kirtipur, Bagbazar and Thamel were the population of the study. Among one hundred linguistic landscapes, forty four were selected as sample for the study through purposive non-random sampling strategy. In the same way, for qualitative part of the study, secondary level English language teachers from Kathmandu district were the population. Five teachers from different five schools were selected as sample of study in purposive non-random sampling strategy. As per the objectives of the study, the checklist was used to find out the language formation system, and semi-structure questions were used to conduct interview with teachers. In the first part of study, the data were analyzed and interpreted using simple statistical tools such as frequency and percentile. The facts were presented in tables. In second part of the study, the data were transcribed in written form from recorded device and interpreted through descriptive analysis under different thematic topics. The study found that there were altogether seven languages used on the linguistic landscapes of three different areas of Kathmandu district including English, Nepali, Newari, Urdu, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Among these, English, Nepali and Newari languages were found in Kirtipur area, English, Nepali, Newari, Japanese, and Urdu languages in Bagbazar area while English, Nepali, Newari, Chinese, Urdu and Korean languages were found in Thamel area. The English language was given most priority. Likewise, the cases of transliteration, translation and code-mixing were found on viii linguistic landscapes. Furthermore, the study found that teachers had positive views towards linguistic landscape in relation to ELT pedagogy. They viewed that linguistic landscapes could be useful to warm up students. Three English language skills (Reading, Speaking and Writing) can be taught by using linguistic landscapes in classroom. Moreover, they viewed that the transliteration, translation, code-mixing and multilingualism could be taught effectively to students through different linguistic landscapes.Item Use of Language in Advertisement: A Linguistic Landscape Perspective(Department of English Education, 2018) Joshi, Mohan RajThe study entitled Use of Language in Advertisement: A Linguistic Landscape Perspective was conducted to explore the use of language on LLs of advertisement in terms of nature of language, linguistic features, creativity and forms of language use. Based on the survey, quantitative research design, eighty non-governmental images of the language used in LLs were collected from Kirtipur, Balkhu, Bagbazar, Dillibazar, Jamal and Thamel areas of Kathmandu district. Among eighty LLs as population, forty LLs were selected as a sample for the study using purposive nonrandom sampling strategy. As per the objectives of the study, the checklist was used to analyze the use of language on LLs of advertisement. The data were analyzed and interpreted using simple statistical tools such as frequency and percentile. The study found that there were altogether six languages used on LLs of different areas of Kathmandu district including English, Nepali, Newari, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. The English language was given high priority. The English Language is the most dominant in LLs of Kathmandu district. The vast majority of LL is bilingual while a significant portion is monolingual; the presence of multilingual is relatively rare. Transliteration is used in approximately half of the LLs in the total sample. Translation is used in around one-third of LLs. Code-mixing is used in a significantly low in LLs. This thesis consists of five different chapters. The first chapter consists of a background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives of the study, research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational definition of the key terms. Similarly, the second chapter deals with the review of theoretical as well as empirical literature and its implication for the study; moreover, it includes the conceptual framework. Likewise, the third chapter deals with the methods and procedures of the study including research design and method of the study, population, sample and sampling strategy, research tools, sources of data, data collection procedures, data analysis and interpretation procedures, and ethical considerations. In the same way, the fourth chapter contains the analysis and interpretation of the results. Finally, the fifth chapter incorporates the findings and conclusion of the study followed by some policy related, practice-related, and further research related recommendation based on the study.Item Use of Language in Advertisement: A Linguistic Landscape Perspective(Department of English Education, 2018) Joshi, Mohan RajThe study entitled Use of Language in Advertisement: A Linguistic Landscape Perspective was conducted to explore the use of language on LLs of advertisement in terms of nature of language, linguistic features, creativity and forms of language use.
