Abstract: Language is a reflection of culture, and the role of culture in learning a language can't be ruled out. We usually communicate, what culture offers us. Every speech community has a scope for languages other than their native language, but it varies from culture to culture or language to language. Some languages can easily accommodate while other languages while some fail to do so due to their concord or discord at different linguistic levels, and socio-cultural acceptance. This research focuses on the socio cultural aspects of Jazan as a hindrance to learning the English language for the students of Jazan University.

Abstract: The combination of phonological knowledge with rhythm and English stress rules is one of the solutions for English stress problems facing Vietnamese students. From the phonetic experiment, some types of stress mistakes made by Vietnamese students were discovered. The hypothesis is that the English Rhythmic patterns and English stress rules will help students to solve their stress problems. However, the English stress rules are so complicated. Therefore, based on the main rhythmic pattern, the key for stress rules has been raised to simplify the way to recognize stressed syllables. The final target is to help Vietnamese students identify English words through different ways of stress placement in order to increase their pronunciation ability as well as catching the main idea in the conversation to improve their communicative skill in English.

Abstract: One of the design features of language is creativity which can differentiate human beings from animals. Anti-language is a special form of language which generates from traditional society and language but different from them in some ways. Anti-language plays a role in creating and maintaining social structure through conversation as traditional language does but the social structure it maintains shares some special modalities and is very different from the traditional ones. As a special form of anti-language, Netspeak is very familiar these years and is developing rapidly with its special advantages. What’s more, some netspeak has been used in official websites such as China Daily. It is necessary for us to have a study on netspeak to figure out the basic information of the usage of netspeak in China as well as have in-depth knowledge of the fundamental state which can contribute to the research on anti-language in return.
