Essay writing is one of the major academic practices that students are expected to master and display. As there is a paucity of information on the nature of sociocultural influence on second language education in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, this study attempts to contribute to knowledge on writing, in general, and on argument writing, in particular in the sociocultural context of the Vhembe District. The central premise for this study is that the way an environment constrains second language learners or frees them to explore and to learn is constituted by sociocultural factors and this includes pedagogical processes. In sociocultural theory, the argument is that to truly understand the human condition, there is a need to analyse and interpret it within the relevant social, cultural and historical context. This is because a learner’s cognitive, language and academic development are strongly influenced by the sociocultural context in which they live and learn and the effect could be either negative or positive. This is because the identity of a learner is constructed in subtle ways that align an individual’s aspirations with societal goals. In this alignment, learning is performance based, and it also functions as a self-check mechanism in which written discourse illuminates relations, such as the ones between discourse and value systems, which are transmitted through the education system. This study attempts to understand and explain second language writing within the Vhembe sociocultural context. Such understanding has emanated from abstractions from experience, the exploration of the literature reviewed for the purpose, and from the evaluation and interpretation of the students’ engagement in the samples, which have been included in the appendices. The students’ performance in writing was taken as an illustration of sociocultural influences. Using document analysis, observations and abstractions, the study found that students are not proficient in writing in general, because of sociocultural parameters, such as collectivism, weak uncertainty avoidance, a restricted code background, a culture of conserving knowledge, lack of discursive interaction, content orientation and first language literacy. Pedagogy also has an influence on competence, because of the way writing is approached in the learning/teaching situations. Learners seem to have a limited capacity in constructing sentences in the correct tense, use of both metadiscourse and cohesive devices. The study indicates the need to consider learners’ social identity as well as their environment as a way of illustrating the complexity and pertinence of socioculture. This recognition has been given assent through the intervention strategies that are explored and built into the recommendation. The recommendation is that the natural context in which the learners are immersed should be given clarity and should be explored in the English lesson. In this regard, intervention approaches and strategies for learner activities are based on this schema and on collaboration between facilitators of English language learning and content and Mother Tongue facilitators. / Thesis (DLitt (English))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / English / unrestricted

This Master of Laws thesis provides an analysis of Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench civil money judgment cases, sampled quantitatively for 1995 and 2004, to examine the length of time from the filing of a claim to judgment being issued, before and after the implementation of Manitoba Queen s Bench Rule 20A. The historical roots of Manitoba court procedure and certain enforcement processes are examined to explain historically: if you get the judgment, how do you get the money? The procedural law is rooted in the English medieval common law system of judicial writs, most recently made more efficient by Manitoba Queen s Bench Rule 20A. This remains basic to issues of law reform for all common law jurisdictions, including Saskatchewan s Enforcement of Money Judgments Act, and this thesis concludes with a set of qualitative recommendations.

250 pages / This dissertation is a narrative account of the life of Minoru Yasui, 1916-1986. Minoru Yasui was a Nisei (second generation Japanese American), born in Hood River, Oregon, and a graduate of the University of Oregon (B.A., 1937) and University of Oregon Law School (L.L.B., 1939). In March 1942, Yasui brought the first constitutional challenge to the curfew imposed upon Japanese Americans. The curfew was the first step in the restriction and internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry, citizens and non-citizens alike. He believed that as a citizen and a lawyer it was his responsibility to oppose, and test, order which distinguished citizens solely on the basis of ancestry. After World War II, Yasui lived all of his adult life in Denver, Colorado, from 1945 until his death in 1986.

A efetividade do provimento jurisdicional é a mais importante das atividades da jurisdição. A simples declaração de um direito não é suficiente, se não for possível usufrui-lo. No caso de ações coletivas, a efetividade é a resposta para a pacificação de conflitos sociais de grandes dimensões. Todavia a efetividade de uma demanda coletiva é um dos maiores desafios tanto do Poder Judiciário como dos legitimados à ação coletiva, em vista das dificuldades que se apresentam na legislação, ensejando interpretações divergentes e que, por vezes, provocam o detrimento da tutela coletiva. O presente trabalho, a partir de dados empíricos sobre a experiência de uma espécie de legitimado à ação coletiva associação civil e mediante pesquisa estruturada da jurisprudência que se forma sobre o assunto, pretende levantar pontos sensíveis para a baixa efetividade dos provimentos jurisdicionais proferidos em ações coletivas. Os pontos sensíveis enfatizados são objeto de discussão e teorização, com o objetivo de apresentar caminhos e pontuar profundas dificuldades para a efetividade da tutela coletiva, sem a pretensão de dar solução para tais problemas, mas a ideia de alguns encaminhamentos, buscando a experiência no Direito Comparado. Conclui-se, essencialmente, que o caminho para a efetividade da demanda coletiva passa pela execução coletiva e pela tutela mandamental, que precisam ser melhor trabalhadas pelos legitimados e melhor apreciadas e compreendidas pelo Poder Judiciário. / The effectiveness of the jurisdictional provision is the most important activity of jurisdiction. The simple declaration of a right is not enough, if you can not enjoy it. In the case of class actions, the effectiveness is the answer to the pacification of large range social conflicts. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of a class action is a major challenge both the judiciary as the public and private entities those can file a class action, in view of the difficulties that arise in the legislation, allowing for different interpretations and that, sometimes, cause the detriment of collective defense. This paper, based on empirical data on the experience of a kind of private entity that can file a class action non-governmental organization and through structured research that establishes the cases on the subject, aims to raise sensitive issues for the low effectiveness of courts judgments in class action. Tender points emphasized are the subject of discussion and theorizing, with the goal of presenting paths and deep trouble for the effectiveness of collective defense, without claiming to provide solutions to such problems, but the idea of some referrals, seeking experience in Comparative Law. It is concluded, essentially, that the path to the effectiveness of collective class action goes through the collective enforcement by supervisory writ, that need to be worked by public and private entities those can file a class action and better appreciated and understood by the judiciary.
