    Cultural and Political Ideologies in Selected Works from Arabic and English Children's Literature
    (October University of Modern Sciences and Arts, 2018) Abdel Halim, Wageh
    The problem with analysis done on children’s literature is that critics often describe this field as not complex as adult literature, which abandons and ignores the ideologies this field represents and implants in the minds of children. This dissertation is conducted to present summaries, examinations and comparisons of Kamel Kilani’s children’s stories “Safirat Al Qamar” and “Al Singab Al Sagheer” to Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to prove the argument of the study that these works from Arabic and English children’s literature affect the Arabic and British child’s cultural and intellectual development on many layers and levels through the cultural and postcolonial ideologies they explicate and present. The study uses postcolonial approaches of reading and analysis, and concludes that Kilani’s works are rather educational and rigid, while Dahl’s works leave more space for imagination and they fixate more on imperial doctrines

    Investigating EFL Secondary Stage Learners' Problems in Comprehending Phrasal Verbs in Written Texts
    (October University of Modern Sciences and Arts, 2018) Qussay Youssef, Ziena
    The aim of this research was to find out the problems that face Egyptian EFL secondary stage learners while attempting to comprehend phrasal verbs in written texts. To achieve this aim, a test was designed and administered by the researcher on a random sample of fifteen Egyptian EFL secondary stage students at Modern Infinity Language School. It was hypothesized that (a) Egyptian EFL secondary stage students find it most difficult to comprehend phrasal verbs that consist of a verb + an adverb particle + a preposition as compared to the other two types of phrasal verbs and (b) Egyptian EFL secondary stage students find it most difficult when they are required to guess the meanings of phrasal verbs on their own without being offered any alternatives. Based on the analysis of the test results, it was revealed that both of the research hypotheses were confirmed. However, it should be highlighted that there were limitations to the current research findings. One of these limitations was related to the fact that it was a small scale study conducted on a small group of students in only one school and one governorate. Therefore, it was recommended to conduct this study on a larger scale and to follow more effective teaching methods to help EFL learners overcome their problems in comprehending phrasal verbs

    The Loss of Music and Meaning in the Translation of Poetry: A lierary Approach to Mahmoud Darwish's Unde Siege (Halat Hesar)
    (October University of Modern Sciences and Arts, 2018) Assem, Mariam
    The problem in the center of this research paper was to test translated poetry and whether it can be a match for the original work. The study aimed at examining the loss of music and meaning in the translation of poetry through a literary approach, applied to Mahmoud Darwish's poem, Under Siege (Halat Hesar) and its English translation done by Marjolijn De Jager. It applies Eugene Nida's Philological theories of translation as well as Susan Bassnett and Andre Le Fevere's cultural turn approach. The research uses a qualitative method of research that employs tools of content and comparison analysis. The data used is Mahmoud Darwish's Under Siege (Halat Hesar). The translation of poetry entails major differences to that of pros based on the fact that meaning is reflected, not only through the poet's choice of words, but also through the musical devices used. Through this study, it becomes apparent that poetry, in particular, can never be read the same after translation as the musical elements are lost, and with them so does the meaning. It also proves a lack of parallelism between English and Arabic in terms of musical devices employed because ultimately, the translator will always opt to focus on literal linguistic meaning
