Changamoto za Uingizwaji wa Masuala yahusuyo Lugha katika Sera za Elimu na Utamaduni: Haja ya kuwa na Sera Mahususi ya Lugha Tanzania Sovu, Ahmad Y. Makala hii inajadili changamoto mbalimbali zinazohusiana na sera ya lugha. Kwa muda mrefu, nchi ya Tanzania haina sera mahususi ya lugha, badala yake, masuala ya lugha yameingizwa katika Sera ya Utamaduni na Sera ya Elimu. Sera ya lugha ni jumla ya mawazo, matamko, sheria, kanuni na taratibu zenye kufafanua utekelezaji wa mabadiliko ya matumizi ya lugha (Mekacha, 2000; na Msanjila, 2009). Aidha, makala inafafanua kuhusu dhana, aina ya sera za lugha, na kuonesha namna sera ya lugha kama ilivyoingizwa katika Sera ya Utamaduni na Elimu. Data katika makala hii, kwa kiasi kikubwa, zimekusanywa kutoka maktaba na kwa wadau mbalimbali wa lugha. Changamoto zilizojadiliwa ni pamoja na: kutokuainishwa kwa mpango wa utekelezaji wa sera, sera ya lugha kushughulikia suala la elimu tu, na kutokupewa nafasi ya lugha nyingine za jamii. Mintarafu ya changamoto hizo, makala imebainisha sababu za changamoto hizo. Pia, imebainisha umuhimu kuhusu haja ya kuwa na sera madhubuti na mahususi ya lugha nchini Tanzania. Journal article

Factors Influencing Learners’ Preferences of Written Corrective Feedback by Teachers of English as a Foreign Language: The Case of Kigamboni Navy Secondary Schools Kitalima, Tamasha Research shows that proficiency levels, goals, interests, beliefs, and authentic contexts influence learners’ responses to written corrective feedback (WCF). Thus, no one or two findings can fit in all second language (SL) teaching/learning contexts. Additionally, in the Tanzanian context, studies have revealed a mismatch between teachers’ practices and learners’ needs, and less attention is paid to the factors that influence learners’ preferences on given WCF. The present study sought to explore learners’ views by identifying the types of WCF provided by teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to their learners; and establish the factors influencing such learners’ preferences for the WCF provided by such teachers in the context of foreign language classrooms. This case study involved 40 learners from the Kigamboni Navy Secondary School sampled purposively, where document review and focus group discussion were used to collect data, following Biber et al. In the taxonomy of WCF, the collected data were transcribed, coded, and analyzed using thematic analysis methods. Findings revealed a disagreement between teachers’ practice and learners’ views for given types of WCF. In addition, learners’ opinions of the WCF provided by teachers were influenced by learners’ self-perceived ability, amount of information, comprehensiveness of the WCF, teachers’ tone, and the scope of the WCF. This study recommends that, in providing WCF, teachers should focus on what works for learners. Also, teachers should focus on factors influencing learners’ preferences for given WCF.
