SPECIFIC FEATURES OF ANGLICISMS IN CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN MASS-MEDIA

Author(s): Marta-Teodora Boboc / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 22/2020

Nowadays, when the accelerated and unprecedented pace of globalisation leads to an intense intercultural communication, the study of loanwords seems legitimate more than ever. The given article focuses on loanwords of English origin in contemporary Russian mass-media. From the point of view of functional styles (defined as „systems of interrelated language means serving a definite aim in communication” [Galperin, 1958, p. 127]), media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication have to do with publicistic and newspaper style, thus encompassing a wide range of features specific to more than one linguistic segment. On this background our paper provides an analysis of various types of loanwords and of the functions they perform in contemporary Russian language. Ultimately, this proves to be either a modern imperative, if technological progress is to be considered, or a matter of choice, when taking into account the audience’s personal option for or against loanwords usage according to its own set of cultural values.

ROZWÓJ POLSKIEJ MYŚLI GLOTTODYDAKTYCZNEJ NAD NAUCZANIEM JĘZYKA DO CELÓW MEDYCZNYCH

Author(s): Paulina Oczko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 26/2022

The subject of the present text is the Polish language of medicine (medical), while the aim is to present and discuss the concepts of teaching medical Polish developed over the last 50 years. The work is both a review and a summary of the achievements of Polish language glottodidactics to date. The analysis is based on both academic texts on linguistic and subject-related education, and on the teaching of specialist (medical) language, as well as on glottodidactic materials from 1975–2022. The review of previous concepts of teaching medical Polish leads to the conclusion that the greatest emphasis was placed on mastering professional terminology and grammatical structures characteristic of the professional speciality, as well as developing reading and speaking skills. The necessity of teaching the competence of working with text, especially its stylistics, was also recognised.

NEW WORDS IN DOOM 2 - LETTER "C"

Author(s): Felicia Rodica Aliu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 24/2021

DOOM2 contains 62,000 words: the entries in DOOM1 have been preserved, to which about 2,500 new words have been added, marked with an asterisk. The exclamation mark (!) placed before a title word marks that word in DOOM1 that was altered. Their number is about 3500. The 2500 new words are not mostly neologisms as one might think at first glance, but internal neological formations, created by derivation, composition, change of morphological class, abbreviations and other mixed means. This article aims to discuss these procedures, using the words recorded in the letter "c" in DOOM 2, entries that represent 13.08% of the total. Of the 327 words marked with an asterisk from the letter "c", 90 are derived and 59 compound, and the rest are proper nouns and neological words and in a small number words from the main lexical fund, more precisely from the family register and regional, known and used by speakers, but not mentioned so far, in a lexicographical work, which shows that the Romanian language is predominantly derivative. From a morphological perspective, the best representation is the noun, followed by the adjective and the verb, for which a superficial contact between related languages was enough. The etymological perspective leads us to the French language, the main donor, more often than not on the Latin chain, so that we can speak of multiple etymology. English also brings its scientific and technical terminology.

O perspectivă logopedică asupra tranziției către școlaritate a copilului cu implant cohlear

Author(s): Ovidiu Tudorean,Alois Gherguț / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2023

Cochlear implant (CI) is a medical procedure originally developed in the United States. In Romania, it is part of the national programme for the treatment of deafness with implantable hearing aids managed by the National Health Insurance House. Successful implantation transforms the child with hearing loss into a hearing but not a speaking child. Only with systematic support and guidance will the child become a speaker. It is risky to assume that the development of the child with CI follows the same milestones and has to overcome the same challenges as the typical child. In fact, successful integration into mainstream school must be considered a separate objective, which will be prepared and actively pursued during the child’s pre-school years by the child’s educational partners (family – teachers – speech therapist). Spontaneous development is not guaranteed; moreover, there is a risk of losing the child’s development potential. This is why the preparation of the family, the child with CI, the teachers and even the school as a physical environment is essential for a successful start at school. This paper aims to provide a brief contextualisation of cochlear implantation and also answers some pressing questions for an optimal transition to schooling. It considers building and strengthening the self-image of the child with CI, developing personal autonomy, training and developing conversational skills, investigating options related to school choice, getting to know the school and future teachers, forming and developing the prerequisites for schooling, pragmatic suggestions for involving the family in school activities, but also for involving teachers in the school integration of the child with CI.

MAIN FEATURES OF LOANWORDS’ ADAPTATION IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Author(s): Marta-Teodora Boboc / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 27/2021

Nowadays, when the accelerated and unprecedented pace of globalisation leads to an intense intercultural communication, the study of loanwords seems legitimate more than ever. The given article focuses on loanwords of English origin in Russian finance and economics terminology. From the point of view of functional style and register this research field may seem a quite rigid one, but this is a mere impression, since the study of some pragmatic changes that occur in the adaptation process encompasses a wide range of features specific to more than one linguistic segment, actually ranging from scientific to colloquial. Our paper provides a brief, but relevant analysis of various types of loanwords and of the functions they perform in contemporary Russian language for specific purposes. Ultimately, loanwords usage proves to be either a modern imperative, if technological progress is to be considered, or a matter of choice, if taking into account the audience’s personal option for or against such borrowings, according to its own set of cultural values.

ENSEIGNER LA CULTURE ET LA CIVILISATION FRANÇAISES A TRAVERS DES MOYENS COMIQUES, EN CLASSE DE FLE, DANS LES LYCEES TECHNOLOGIQUES ET DANS LES ECOLES PROFESSIONNELLES

Author(s): Anca-Elena FLOREA (RAICU) / Language(s): French Issue: 30/2022

Teaching French as a foreign language in a comical way can represent a real challenge. Teaching elements of French culture and civilization in professional school, for the future workers in restoration and alimentation domain, can be a challenge. The solution is to play, to imagine that the classroom is the scene and the teacher and the students are actors in their own play or movie. Teaching by laughing can be very funny, can bring joy and satisfaction to teachers and students at the same time.

How Social-Emotional learning improves the Japanese English education system

Author(s): Lynsey Mori / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

It must be accepted that there will never be a perfect universal educational curriculum and teachers can only strive for improvement. In the process of reforming education, it has become no longer possible to discuss pedagogy, academic achievement, or the culture and climate of schools without discussing social-emotional competencies under the framework of social and emotional learning (SEL). This pedagogical concept has been welcomed in Western countries such as the U.S. and the U.K., but will it find a place in the educational systems in the East in countries such as Japan, and in what capacity? This paper aims to analyze d SEL, and disclose some of the possible problems of initializing this reform; the current Japanese educational system-in particularly the lack of transition between K-12 and university, thinking style, cultural prejudice, and gender inequality. This study conducts a literature review on the topic and presents the findings in a discussion.

English as a lingua franca and Intercultural Language Teaching in EFL Contexts

Author(s): Mohamed Toufik Ghaffour / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

English as a lingua franca has many pedagogical implications for the field of foreign language teaching and teaching English as a foreign language, especially the deemphasize on the native-speaking cultural model. As a better alternative to the NS model, the present paper aims to discuss three key issues, the integration of non-native cultures into the EFL classroom to enrich EFL students’ cultural knowledge and to consider non-native speaking countries as a model, highlight the importance of the non-essentialist understanding of culture as a concept in such an integration, and, to consider a “glocal” cultural model as a second better alternative. Resources were gathered from previous literature and Byram’s model was considered while analyzing the resources gathered. The study makes propositions based on the findings of this study.

Writing competence in translating ESP texts through blogging within the framework of flipped classroom

Author(s): Nicolas Montalban,Salvador Montaner-Villalba / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

In this paper, we aim to verify whether Flipped Classroom and blogging promote writing competence in specialized English. In order to do this, we implemented an experiment with learners from the Specialized Translation (English) course, in the 4th academic year of the BA in Translation and Interpretation during the year 2019-2020. This didactic experience consisted of the creation of a blog by learners with their tasks, which consisted of some translations from English into Spanish and text composition in English. To assess this experience, two questionnaires were made: a diagnostic survey to ascertain learners’ knowledge related to the acquisition of written competence in English through blogging within the framework of Flipped Classroom, and a final survey to analyze the progress. Moreover, quality research was done on the English-Spanish translation, which was used within the process of teaching writing competence in English through evaluation metrics, such as Precision, Recall, WER and BLEU. Finally, texts produced through Coh-Metrix tool and learners’ co-evaluation were studied to analyze the quality of the texts in English.

Vocabulary recall and retention improvement: Working memory training using dual N-back task

Author(s): Seyed Mojtaba Marashi,Mina Adibi Sadinezhad / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Working memory (WM) plays an important role in learning since it serves as the buffer between past sensations and future behaviour, making it essential to understand not only how we encode and recall sensory information in memory but also how we plan for its upcoming use. This study examined the effect of WM training on vocabulary recall and retention of Iranian EFL learners using the dual n-back task technique. N-back requires the individual to remember an item that was presented a certain number of items previously. To this end, 50 EFL learners were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 25) and control (n = 25) groups. The participants were taught 100 English words in 20 sessions. In each session, the experimental group also received a dual n-back task. The obtained data were analysed through two-way repeated measures analysis of variance and independent samples t-tests. The results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in target words’ recall and retention.

THE INTEGRATION OF ANGLICISMS IN THE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE, RIGHT OR WRONG?

Author(s): Mihaela Mureșan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 28/2022

The words of English origin which make their way into the Romanian vocabulary became integrated over time, thus being used by Romanian speakers on a daily basis. Once the anglicisms have become part of the Romanian language, they may have variations, depending on the speakers, who may choose to alter their form either by writing them differently, or altering their pronounciation.

ZNAČAJ JEZIČKE DJELATNOSTI ČITANJA ZA RAZVOJ GOVORA

Author(s): Mirela Omerović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 5/2023

Reading is a complex language activity that includes the physiological and communicative activity of a person. The physiological aspect of the reading process is realized by the work of the speech organs with the participation of the organs of sight and with the stimuli from the cortex of the cerebrum. The communication aspect refers to the transmission of information where the reader sends a message to others and to themselves. Many authors state that reading is one of the most important inventions of the human race, and that the evolution of reading both for the individual person and the human species is directly related to the intellectual evolution of human being in general and that it promotes the development of a complete personality. The uniqueness of a human being in relation to all other beings is reflected in the fact that humans possess an innate ability to adopt complex linguistic structures from the environment. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of the linguistic activity of reading for the development of speech in children of primary school age, and to offer useful models for improving the reading process and vocabulary development in primary school students. It is important to take into account both the physiological and communicative aspects of the reading process in the development of speech in children of younger school age. When the automation of that process is achieved, one of the basic factors for successful speech development is the improvement of lexical competence, based on various lexical-semantic relations within the lexical corpus of a specific language, and expanding and deepening the vocabulary and its place in the development of reading literacy and reading ability. These are very important linguistic factors for the improvement of speech in students as developing speakers.

THE ROLE OF NEOLOGICAL LEXICAL BORROWING IN THE DYNAMICS OF THE CURRENT ROMANIAN LANGUAGE

Author(s): Gabriela Szabo (Voșloban),Octavia Moisil / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 30/2022

Once again we bring into discussion the controversial issue of neologisms with reference to the vocabulary of the Romanian language, the way in which they modify the dynamics of the language and, either enrich it or nuance the already existent lexicon or disfavour the language. Although the loanwords confer such a dynamics to the lexicon, the excessive use can become annoying and tiresome. One cannot speak about the dynamics of a language without referring to the relation between use and norm, between the individual use and the collective use. The study of the neological phenomenon will make way for new approaches that will go beyond the field of lexicology and lexicography. The issue of neological borrowing cannot be exhausted, regardless of the approach, but will remain an open theme precisely because the language is in a continuous evolution, its dynamics being subject both to the norm and specially to use.

Rola nieformalnego uczenia się języków obcych w świadomości studentów filologii francuskiej

Author(s): Monika Grabowska,Aleksander Wiater / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2023

The aim of this article is to present the results of a survey conducted in the academic year 2021/2022 among students of French Philology Studies at the University of Wroclaw. The subject of interest was the role they attribute to out-of-class language learning (including French) in the process of acquiring communicative competence. The question asked was formulated in such a way as to make students reflect on informal learning situations. Qualitative analysis of the answers indicates a relatively broad spectrum of situations of informal learning, which, due to their complexity, require deeper reflection in order to increase the awareness of not only the effects, but also of the process of lifelong learning and the breadth of learning itself. We postulate that language classes in a formal context have as one of their main purposes the stimulation of such reflection and should invite students to undertake various informal learning activities. This in turn increase the effectiveness of formal teaching/learning, and encourages further reflection on the overall foreign language learning process.

Angielskie konstrukcje modalne ‘must HAVE DONE’ i z funkcją ‘pośrednią’ w autentycznym kontekście użycia – studium przypadku

Author(s): Dorota Chłopek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 37/2021

The aim of the present paper is to examine the degree to which the first year students of English philology at ATH in Bielsko-Biala are able to recognize the particular modal constructions occurring in authentic linguistic materials, after having been introduced to their forms and meanings theoretically. The paper focuses on contextualization by means of linguistic corpora of selected English modal constructions, such as the perfective use of central modals on the example of ‘must HAVE done’, and particular ‘intermediate’ modals (1. must have; 2. dare + bare infinitive; 3. WE/I shall; 4. BE about to; 5. BE to; 6. HAVE got to; 7. BE bound to; 8. BE willing to; 9. HAPPEN to), following a remote lecture on descriptive grammar of the English language via the MS Teams application during the coronavirus lockdown in January, 2021. The case study concerns the results obtained from an assignment administered to 64 first year students, presented in four tables. The assignment, attached in the form of an MS Word file to edit, required the students to select and cite from either of the two corpora of the English language – BNC or COCA – examples of authentic use of each of the modal constructions studied during one of the lectures.

Communication Community in the Prefigurative World

Author(s): Aleksander Kobylarek,Martyna Madej,Marie Roubalova / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

In the contemporary world, communication goes far beyond the well-known traditional written or spoken forms. For today’s digital users, these have become insufficient, as using them, they cannot express their thoughts fully. The youth that has developed its own language, has become more hermetic, but not because it rejects other generations. The reason is the inability of older generations to understand the new ways of communication. Seniors find it challenging to learn how to use new technologies and stay up to date with trends. Although young people are able to understand them, the older generation cannot keep up with the news and stays excluded. The lack of mutual understanding results in weaker bonds. Once again, it is possible to observe ICT as a contemporary key competence essential for an adequate, mutually comprehensible exchange of messages. The best way to connect two generations in this aspect is informal education, especially one focusing on intergenerational activities, which will not only reduce the exclusion of a social group such as seniors but will also let them to develop their critical thinking skills, which in the age of the Internet are crucial.
