Dehumanization of Refugees: A Postcolonial Eco-Critical Study of Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West

This paper explores Mohsin Hamid’s literary representation of dehumanization of refugees in the age of globalization, the exploitation of humans and their land, as well as the impact of migration on the lives of the migrants in his novel Exit West. The research uses the theoretical framework of postcolonial ecocriticism by Huggan and Tiffin to critically analyze the primary text. This research employs qualitative method to draw parallels between the exploitation of humans and their environment in Hamid’s novel while exploring the dehumanized treatment of refugees, reasons of migration, and the role of war, science and technology in the destruction of environment in this particular narrative. Textual analysis, more specifically, content analysis is used as a method to link the global humanitarian and environmental crisis in the primary text under the Postcolonial Eco-critical ideology.

Implications of Urdunization in Pakistan English to Comprehend It as a Second Language

Implications of Urdunization in Pakistan English to Comprehend It as a Second Language Language and culture are interrelated. English is a global language and Pakistan has an increasing interest in English language learning. Indigenization is an important aspect which helps in learning L2. Indigenization means transforming words, terms, syntactic structures, etc to suit a local culture. Ll interference on L2 is always a debatable issue. Some scholars favor the use of LI in L2 learning while some are against this view. In language, indigenization is done to minimize or to remove the alienating affect. My research has tested whether Urduization in Pakistani English is helpful in comprehending English as a second language or not. In Pakistan, "Urduization" is done in Pakistani English very frequently. I have used "multi-method approach" in this research. The topic of this research falls into the social sciences. My research is "exploratory" and "descriptive" in nature. The sample population of my research is the students of Advanced Diploma in English (1st and 2nd semesters) who are learning English as a second language at the National University of Modern Languages. The researcher has used worksheet as a basic tool to collect the data and to test the hypothesis. These worksheets are used to test the Semantic/Pragmatic comprehension at three levels: Lexical, Sentential, and Discursive. Many examples of indigenizing Urdu words in English are listed from English news paper which highlights the use of Urduization in Pakistan. The analysis is done through SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). On the bases of the findings, it can be concluded that Urduization helps in comprehending English as a second language.
