Vol. 2 No. 2 (2023): International Journal of Arts, Communication and Pedagogy
EDITORIAL BRIEF
International Journal of Arts, Communication and Pedagogy (IJACOP) is a multi-disciplinary
print and online peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes empirical and theoretical
articles in language and communication pedagogy, religious education, and other related
disciplines in arts and humanities, social sciences, science and technology, ICT, and health
education. IJACOP accepts reviews, analytics and simulation models, as well as case studies.
The international range and breadth of coverage allow the journal to forge links between many
different areas of research. This multi-disciplinary approach spans a wide range of interests. The
journal publishes full-length empirical studies or general articles as well as short brief research
reports. The mission of the International Journal of Arts, Communication and Pedagogy, is to
serve as a research forum for diverse group of scholars who are interested in academic
excellence and who can have significant voices in discussions and decision-making around
issues of research and innovation . IJACOP does not publish articles solely describing personal
experiences. Manuscripts are received on a rolling basis and published in the next volume of the
journal
It is therefore with joy that I present the Volume 2, Issue 2, of the International Journal of Arts,
Communication and Pedagogy (IJACOP) to the reading public. The issue contains interesting
peer-reviewed academic articles such as artificial intelligence in English language pedagogy,
mammonism among Pentecostal church, women as agents of positive change: a feminist reading
of Sembene Ousmane’s God’s bit of wood, Islamic extremism and the perspective of
modernism, fostering self-efficacy and performance in students’ expository writing using 5E
model of instruction, power-point instructional strategy utilization and students’ achievement in
English, psychological assessment of emotional intelligence on students academic performance,
the trickster architype and trickery in Igala oral narratives and the implication for contemporary
Igala society., linguistic analysis of dangling modifiers in the written essays of undergraduates,
and religious implications of Nigerian home videos on values and youth morality. These articles
are relevant to todays’ realities of teaching and learning.
The opinions and ideas expressed in the articles are those of the authors and not that of the
publisher.
