This study aims to determine the effect of song media on the ability to write narrative texts by class V students of SDIT Ash-Sholihin, amounting to 30 people. This research is an experimental model using one group pre-test post-test design. The results showed that the average value of the ability in writing narrative texts by students before using song media was 66 included in the sufficient category with a standard deviation of 7.89 while the average value of students' ability in writing narrative texts after using song media was 74.33 included in the good category with a standard deviation of 9.01. Based on the calculation of the normality test in the pre test it is known that Lhitung is 0.11 using ∝= 0.05 and N - 30, then Lhitung is 0.09 <Ltable 0.11 <0.161. It proves that outcomes learning of song media are distributed normally. Based on the homogeneity that has been done, the X2 value (chi squared) is calculated as 1.33. The price of X2 table at the level of 95% with dk 29 is 42.6. It turns out that X2 counts <X2 table which is 1.33 <42.6. It proves that the population variance is homogeneous. The value of 't' obtained is 3.77 consulted in table t at a significant level of 5% with table t at a significant level of 5% with dk = N-1 = 30-1 = 29, in the table with dk = 29 a significant level of 5% = 2.04. It means that be obtained is greater than t table, which is 3.77> 2.04. Thus, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and HO is rejected. Based on the analysis of the data above, it can be concluded that song media has a positive and significant effect on the ability to write narrative texts in class V, students of Sdit Ash-Sholihin Tahun 2017-2018.

Due to the so-called ‘radical’ approach taken by writers of popular fiction, coupled with their subjects of interrogation, a debate over quality and relevance has raged on with scholars criticizing popular literature for being aesthetically wanting and incapable of commitment requisite of literature. Such works have been referred to as “...a trashy and scabrous imitation of brothel and [low-life] especially yearned for the [low-brow] reader in this country”. In this regard, the concept of ‘popular’ becomes ambiguous as it comes to the reader inscribed with the history of political and cultural struggles. It is not only a site of contested evaluation but the term ‘popular’ has also been used pejoratively. ‘Popular’ has been used as synonymous with low-class; and low-class with irrelevant. Literature forms a major avenue upon which knowledge can be passed. In Kenya, in particular, Literature is part and parcel of English; a compulsory subject. There is, however, a tendency to disregard popular literature in favour of canonical literature. The most obvious justification for this has been that canonical literature has more ‘serious’ knowledge to offer as compared to popular fiction/literature. Due to this relegation of popular fiction to the peripheries, very little attention has been accorded to its role in social commentary. This association of popular fiction with the “low-class” members of the society has led to the misconception that popular fiction has nothing “serious” to offer to the “elite readership”. To debunk this notion, this paper undertakes a holistic analysis of Meja Mwangi’s “Going Down River Road” and in so doing, argues for the fact that, from a post-modernistic viewpoint, this text provides verisimilitude to its fullest meaning. With use of adequate illustrations, the paper makes reference to the various tenets of post-modernism and: establishes the thematic concerns dealt with by Meja Mwangi; identifies and discusses the interplay between politics and literature as espoused in this text; and discusses the use of stylistics to capture the reality as lived by the characters in the text, and by extension, the author

American writer Edgar Allan Poe and English writer Agatha Christie both are masters of detective novels. The former is the pioneer of detective stories and the latter is the “golden age” of detective novels. Both of them have achieved great successes and enjoyed a great reputation. The Mystery of Marie Roget and Five Little Pigs are representatives of the “armchair detective mode” novels written by Allan Poe and Agatha respectively. The former mainly uses the first person perspective and male narrative voice, and it realizes the transformation from "the first person external perspective" to "the first person internal perspective", while the latter mainly uses the third person perspective and female narrative voice, and it changes from zero focalization into internal focalization. By analyzing the differences between two novels regarding narrative perspectives and narrative voices, it shows that Edgar Allan Poe strictly upholds the "unity of effect" theory in his creation and Agatha Christie adheres to her simple feminist consciousness in her novels

The need for the use of two or more languages as media of instruction in high schools in Africa cannot be over-emphasised in the education sector. This is because the present knowledge society demands the use of different teaching and learning methods in achieving the educational potentials of students. Based on this therefore, multilingual education is the key for cultural reasoning, which enables students to decipher concepts easily and meet their goals in life. This study focused on multilingual education as a pedagogical approach in improving learners’ learning outcomes. It had two main objectives: to explore the benefits of multilingual education, and to examine the challenges inherent in multilingual education in culturally diverse high schools in two Cities of Kenya and Nigeria. The study adopted mixed methods research paradigm, specifically, the convergent parallel triangulation design. It targeted teachers and students. The sample size of the study consisted of 40 teachers and 100 students. The study employed simple random and purposeful sampling techniques in selecting the schools and participants of the study. The researchers used interview guide and questionnaire for data collection. For data analysis, the researchers transcribed the interviews, coded the data, categorised the data, derived themes from the categories, interrelated the themes, and interpreted the meaning of the themes; then related them to the quantitative data. For the quantitative data, they focused on the descriptive statistics. The Findings of the study showed that multilingual education, which is the use of multiple languages in the process of teaching and learning for easy comprehension of concepts is beneficial to the education sector. Therefore, it should be encouraged and promoted. However, that teacher factor is the main challenge that the phenomenon is faced with. The study then recommended that in-service training of teachers and proper monitoring of the education policy on the application of multilingual education should be strictly adhered to
