“…'The study also investigated the availability of facilities and infrastructure in the school, such as Wi-Fi, network access, projectors, audiospeakers, and computer laboratory. Another set of data sought to elicit responses about the types of digital media used, the frequency of use, the level of confidence in using these tools, obstacles faced, and the support needed to overcome these obstacles (Engler & Whitesides, 2022). Specific questions were asked to determine the extent to which these resources were utilized in the participants' teaching practices.…”

This study aimed to identify the challenges faced by teachers in integrating digital media in EFL classrooms and explore their innovative solutions to overcome them. Data were derived from interviews with teachers who attempted to incorporate digital media in a variety of situations. Official documents, including local and national government regulations, school websites, school YouTube channels, and lesson plans supplemented the interview data. The results revealed that teachers faced challenges such as lack of competence, deficient teaching materials, and inadequate digital teaching skills when attempting to integrate technology into their classroom. Limitations of infrastructures, such as low internet bandwidth and a scarcity of devices available in their schools were also reported as additional contributing challenges. Despite the difficult circumstances, evident in the study were teachers’ willingness and efforts to make use of a diverse array of technology devices and applications in their classrooms. These included projectors, laptops, smartphones, audio speakers, as well as software such as word processors, PowerPoint, Google Classroom, Hot Potatoes, search engines, WhatsApp, Zoom, Google Meet, online dictionaries, YouTube, and video editors. This study sheds light on the resilience and resourcefulness of EFL teachers in adapting to digital media and offers insights into ways to support and enhance their efforts.

“…One way to establish a clear emic-etic connection is through proper contexts, discursive channels, and cultural discussions that are not easy to establish. Anna M. Mackowiack considering the Indonesian way of unity in diversity (the bhinneka, tunggall ika, and agama) determination during the Lingsar Temple festival, advanced that scholars ought to establish a meta-dialog about how emic perspectives are entrapped with indigenous, national, and religious communications [4]. However, using the etic approach in indigenous communities requires clear assessments that harm is abated, an assertion that the "non-civilized man or woman" has always been civilized.…”

Indigenous and Minority Populations - Perspectives From Scholars and Writers Across the World

This chapter seeks to present indigenous perspectives from emic and etic frameworks to ascertain how cross-cultural studies fit within a new explorative paradigmatic realm. The role of context to understand how the human relationship in all social settings adopts a pluralistic and inclusive mantra is paramount to address. Discussions on specific lenses of the emic and etic approaches, looking at indigenous concepts will be presented to highlight the agency and cultural tentacles deeply rooted in the emic and etic pathways. Nine key pillars are considered: 1) succinct international and indigenous emic and etic perspectives, 2) indigenous perspectives of conflict resolution, 3) shared trends in emic and etic perspectives, 4) clarification of concepts, 5) cross-cultural perspectives and community settings, 6) indigenous population resiliency, 7) social adaptation and affirmation, 8) healthcare disparities, and 9) philosophical and theoretical perspectives.

“…At these times, many emerging researchers find themselves grappling with notions of emic (insiderness) and etic (outsiderness) while negotiating where they are (as insiders or outsiders) in the life worlds of their research subjects (Burtăverde, 2018;Engler and Whitesides, 2022).…”

Mentoring as a Tool for Managing Talents

This study explores how mentoring can be used to manage talents in an organisation, how people make sense of it in their everyday lives and how these perceptions play out in professional work life, particularly in a sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) context. The effect of superimposing the Anglo-Saxon etic approach to formal mentoring practice on the African emic culture of informal mentoring was also reviewed. The research was conducted in a typical reflexive hermeneutic style, and the evidence is taken from interviews with eight former bank employees. There is agreement among researchers that mentoring produces a beneficial outcome in a wide variety of settings, and the participants in the study also expressed unequivocal support for using formal mentoring programmes to drive employee engagement and talent retention. Different types and styles of mentoring configurations can be beneficial and thrive in various contexts if there is an awareness of the cultural dynamics that are present and the purposes for the mentoring scheme are explicit. This study proposes a persona called the super-sponsor-mentor, a new construct that describes the model of mentorship that will be most effective as a tool to manage talents in the workplace. The hierarchical and power-oriented culture prevalent in Nigeria and most SSA countries supports this model. Much has been written about structured mentoring, but little of that work has been from an African perspective. This study is a vital contribution to developing literature in this area.
