Social Learning Reflected in Younger Generations’ Lives. Case Study: The Bobo Clown Experiment and The Famous Youtuber Og Mcskillet

Author(s): V. Bătrânu-Pințea,Claudiu Coman / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

This paper aims to discuss and thoroughly analyze, aided using content analysis, and make use of certain theoretical support available regarding primary social learning, approximately how many and what certain events in a child’s life can affect his or her behavior. We discuss how Albert Bandura’s experiment involving the Bobo Clown doll revealed some troubling aspects no matter their age or even intellectual capacities. All these behaviors can, unfortunately, irreversibly affect a child’s harmonious development, both psychologically as well as emotionally. Virtual liberty also poses a threat in this case. This article proposes to take a deeper look into this phenomenon, constructing a base that starts early historically.

PSYCHOLOGY OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION FOR BUSINESS ENGINEERING PROFESSIONS

Author(s): Suzana Carmen Cismas / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2021

Business Engineering students need quality instruction, input, interaction, and opportunities for meaningful output, not only to make progress, but also to maintain motivation for language learning. An effective professor will constantly point to the utility of the structures practised in class for the professional areas to be explored by graduates in their careers. This is mainly significant when English is not considered important for the students’ immediate needs; hence it is relevant for instructors to identify learners’ aims and needs and to develop proper study and documentation strategies to facilitate life-long learning. When designing a language course for business engineering English teaching purposes, cognitive psychology enriches the approach and emphasises the driving roles of concepts and situations in the textbook, thus further developing students’ intelligence and linguistic competence.

EXTROVERTS AND INTROVERTS: COMMUNICATION COMPETENCE IN THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN BUSINESS CONTEXTS

Author(s): Suzana Carmen Cismas / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2021

Introversion and extroversion are complex, multi-faceted personality constructs. Individuals can fall at the extremes of each dimension or, more commonly, lie somewhere in between and exhibit traits of both. These personality characteristics impact all communication strategies people implement, irrespective of the language or the context in which the dialogue takes place. Such predispositions influence the ability of acquiring a foreign language and the level of proficiency in conveying messages. Extroverted individuals attribute higher weight to objective facts in determining actions, while the introverted types are biased and rely on subjective interpretations. Introverts are considered reflective, private, thoughtful, while extroverts are thought to be gregarious, assertive, adaptive, happy individuals with a tendency to take risks. In business, both attitudes can lead to success, as the extremes of intuition and risk-taking can combine to generate original spin-offs, real turning points in the way we do and imagine successful business.

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON MEDICAL HUMANITIES – EMPOWERING STUDENTS IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Author(s): Laura Ioana Leon / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2021

Medical Humanities are a topic of interest for Romanian medical students today. The role of the ESP teacher has been constantly challenged in the last two decades or more, once issues such as globalization and the development of technology have started to influence every field of our activities. Likewise, the pandemic has also come with its challenges that also needed to be taken into consideration as the teaching activity has been carried out, since then, mainly in the online medium. This paper is going to address some of the changes that have been implemented in the ESP classes at the “Grigore T. Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Iasi, Romania, in the attempt to respond to the present-day needs of our students who, along with their linguistic training, have to develop interdisciplinary skills that are so much needed in their future profession. Empathy, communication skills, good observation skills can be developed by means of activities that are part of the vast domain of the medical humanities. Likewise, the paper is going to discuss some of the problems we are facing since we have started to work online, mainly focusing on the idea of keeping students’ interest in the online classes that may no longer have the same impact as the face to face interaction.

THE ROLE PLAY IN SPANISH CLASSROOMS

Author(s): Roxana Maria Crețu / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 27/2021

New trends in language teaching include the use of role play in the classroom, because it stimulates the active participation of students in the classroom. Over the last few years, modern language teaching has included role play on the list of ludic activities. As we well know, the role play has the ability to predispose us, helps us to get out of everyday life and relax. For this reason, it becomes a useful tool in the teaching-learning process. Through role play activities, we can work on grammar, vocabulary exercises (various topics, idiomatic and colloquial expressions), we can check if students have mastered spelling rules, emphasizing “problematic” sounds (b-v, ll-y, r-rr, s-z-c+e/i, j-g+e/i, h-Ø) and cultural and civilizational aspects. All this contributes to learning Spanish in a pleasant, fun and contextualized environment. Therefore, in this article we aim to illustrate the ludic side of role playing and how it can be used in Spanish language courses as a foreign language to introduce or consolidate content from various language compartments (grammar, vocabulary and spelling). We will also mention the advantages of introducing role playing in the process of teaching-learning Spanish as a foreign language. Of course, we will also present conclusive examples for each mentioned activity, taken from the materials created and used by us in class.

LANGUAGES OF EDUCATION FOR ROMANS DURING THE PRINCIPATE

Author(s): Maria Gabriela VOINEA / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 27/2021

Latin was the first "language of the world" in the history of humanity. As the language of the Roman Empire, it has expanded greatly, and today over a billion people speak a language derived from Latin as the first or second language. Although today there are no more native speakers, its cultural prestige has not been equaled by any language of the West. It was the educated Roman who knew Greek. Greek culture was the very basis of their spiritual development. The Roman students practiced translating texts into the two languages, putting in parallel the works of the writers. Knowing the prestige of Greek, the Romans never tried to impose the Latin language, but neither was it recognized as the equal of Latin, the "national language". With so many speakers of Greek and other languages learning Latin, bilingualism characterized the Roman Empire.

DEVELOPING INTEGRATED SKILLS AND LANGUAGE CONTENTS THROUGH JOSEPH CONRAD’S STORIES: YOUTH, TYPHOON, THE DUEL, THE WARRIOR’S SOUL

Author(s): Dimitrie Andrei Borcan / Language(s): English Issue: 28/2022

This study based on a class research and experiment states that all skills are and should be taught as integrated, alongside with integrated language contents and functions. Literature can and should be used as a resource for teaching integrated skills and language contents, for its formative use (both as a means of developing integrated skills, language contents and functions and as a cultural, intellectual moulding instrument). The study has used four stories by Joseph Conrad as resource texts: “Youth”, “Typhoon”, “The Duel”, “The Warrior’s Soul”. All the activities have been built up on the base of Conrad’s respective stories.

CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION AT ACADEMIC LEVELS DURING PANDEMIC TIMES

Author(s): Suzana Carmen Cismas / Language(s): English Issue: 29/2022

Citizenship education holds an important place in academic education; it should be cultivated and enforced in any democratic context. Europe is currently facing significant challenges. Socio-economic problems, violence, extremism and lack of trust in democratic processes are among the greatest threats to peace, democracy, freedom and tolerance. Education and training can help counter such menace by fostering mutual respect and promoting fundamental values; citizenship education has a special part to play in this regard and, across Europe, there are high expectations from it. Citizenship education is a fluid concept since the understanding of its essence and aims varies among countries and changes over time. In pandemic times this type of education was limited by online mediated contacts and theory prevailed over practice; hence face-to face and group-work activities are required for catching up with the remaining tasks.

DIDACTIC RHETORIC AND PERSUASIVE COMMUNICATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL LANGUAGE AS INTENTIONAL DISCURSIVE PRACTICE

Author(s): Mircea Breaz / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 29/2022

Didactic rhetoric and persuasive communication in the educational language as intentional discursive practice. Global human science and common denominator of all disciplines, the rhetoric has never ceased to provide both a general plan of the language, common to all discourse practices, and the necessary means to systematically discover the first and last reasons and grounds of the effectiveness of the human persuasive action in general. The configuration of a didactic rhetoric at the end of the past century has been developed particularly into a form of renewal as a comprehensive theory of persuasion and opinion argumentation, subordinated to the theories of didactic knowledge and communication. Besides, the rhetoric revival itself from the end of the past century has emerged mainly from the ambition to offer both integrative models at all levels of knowledge and educability, as well as the necessary means for systematic discovery of the prime and ultimate reason of the rhetoric discursive actions, in general. One of the most important reasons for didactic rhetoric comes from its contribution the (re)instatement of the persuasive dimension of didactic discourses, from the point of view of a general pattern of intentional language, common to all educational discourses. Didactic rhetoric can thus be considered a neo-rhetoric defining, within the intentional practice of communicative interactions in the educational environment, various theoretical and practical ensembles of didactic ways and means of purposeful influencing of the opinions, convictions or behaviours of the audience, both by external persuasive actions and by self- persuasion. In order to facilitate the perception of didactic rhetoric as a neo-rhetoric which is subordinated to the general rhetoric – as a science focused on global human interaction and on the transfer of ideas, intentions and reasons, through the intentional practice of discourses in effective expression – this paper has two complementary parts: the first part analyses once again the general connection between general rhetoric and didactic rhetoric and the second part refers to the specific rhetorical quality of the educational discourse in the persuasive didactic communication.

DE LA GESTION DES EMOTIONS A LA GESTION DES EXAMENS DE LANGUE POUR DES MEILLEURS RESULTATS. LA VOIE DE LA PLEINE CONSCIENCE (MINDFULNESS)

Author(s): Laura Cizer / Language(s): French Issue: 30/2022

Most often than not, when sitting for an exam a lot of emphasis is put on what the exam contains (structure, types of tasks, grading, etc.), and little or no emphasis at all on what students may feel before or on the day of the exam, overlooking the fact that that exams are governed by a great tension which translates into strong emotions. They constitute a real and undeniable enemy against making good decisions. Therefore, this paper advocates the use of mindfulness in language classes as a means of ensuring students’ mental comfort and developing their ability to focus (attention). It also puts forward a practical, applied and explained approach to mindfulness by showcasing such activities as box breathing, bodyscan, name it to tame strategy that will lead students towards a better management of their strong feelings and emotions. Last but not least, several activities around the Inside Out movie that will connect students with their inner self. All in all, this paper aims to show how mental and emotional balance can be regained through fairly simple tools.

TEACHING ROMANIAN AS L2 GRAMMAR WITHIN THE PREPARATORY PROGRAMME OF ROMANIAN LANGUAGE FOR FOREIGN CITIZENS THROUGH SPONTANEOUS COMMUNICATION

Author(s): Dănuța Magdalena Pruneanu,Tatiana Aurora Dina,Ana Cristina Lemnaru / Language(s): English Issue: 30/2022

Our research was inspired by the difficulties the teachers faced in the last 2 years during the pandemic period in teaching Romanian as a foreign language to international students online. The main problem the teachers faced was the lack of interactive teaching materials within the Preparatory programme of Romanian language for foreign citizens that could have eased the transition from face-to-face to online teaching. When teaching Romanian as a foreign language, teachers should involve the majority of the international students in the activities. Thus, they have the chance to meet new people, learn with them, and they have the opportunity to be involved in all activities. In our article, we develop a set of 10 activities for spontaneous communication as we consider that the aim of such activities is to create a strong connection between the international students’ ability to understand Romanian language and the language grammar structure. Each activity will be assessed accordingly. By achieving these objectives, we demonstrate that spontaneous communication helps our international students to formulate correct statements in Romanian after 9 month intensive classes. The completion of this article could not have been possible without the contribution of the desk research we developed in TGSC (Teaching Grammar for Spontaneous Communication) Erasmus+ project that is mentioned in the article content with acknowledgement.

LUDIC ACTIVITIES IN TEACHING SPECIALISED VOCABULARY TO POLICE ACADEMY STUDENTS

Author(s): Anemona Niculescu / Language(s): English Issue: 31/2022

The present study shows that ludic activities are far from inappropriate for adult students (in this case those of the Police Academy), on the contrary, they facilitate the vocabulary learning effort and make the subject of study more attractive. The author has found out that, at any age, ludic activities are a psychological tool, a precious instrument for the teacher, and should be used as often as possible, without risking to make the study subject become frivolous or childish. This study proposes various types of didactic lexical games, with concrete examples. Learning without realising the effort to do it is the hidden purpose of such activities. I would like to express grateful acknowledgements to Professor Ileana Chersan, for the precious examples I have found in her very useful book on the matter.

THE NEED TO ENSURE OPTIMAL CONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATION FOR CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES IN THE INCLUSIVE SCHOOL

Author(s): Olga Druguș / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2022

Given the fact that children with learning difficulties face certain difficulties, the school curriculum must be as flexible as possible to allow each child to study at his own pace and be treated depending on his individual learning abilities. The flexibility of the curriculum is nothing but the adaptation of the contents, strategies, methods, means and techniques of work within the learning activities for each child. The inclusive model involves an individualized approach to each trained student. These children benefit from activities based on a curriculum adapted to their educational needs, personalized intervention programs, as well as many other individualized activities.

STUDENT MOTIVATION- A CHALLENGE FOR THE FRENCH LANGUAGE TEACHER

Author(s): Andreea Petre / Language(s): French Issue: 31/2022

Motivation is indispensable for learning the French language; it determines the students achieving their goals and being active and responsible. Motivation plays a significant role in educational achievement that does not depend solely on cognitive abilities and the student’s skills. Nowadays, the study of the French language has become a necessity because it increases progress in all social spheres. The students who learn the French language in college are generally motivated by short-term goals: a good mark, a scholarship, and a translation of an article. There are also students interested in French because they want to go to France with the Erasmus scholarship or to work there. The role of the teacher is decisive, regardless of the type of motivation of students. The teacher can ask questions to find out what interests students, and what they expect from the French course, thus, he can find activities that stimulate students’ motivation and develop the skills necessary to communicate and understand a common but also specialized foreign language.

CONTEXTE PENTRU RECONFIGURAREA PROCESULUI DE ÎNVĂȚARE A LIMBILOR STRĂINE ÎN ÎNVĂȚĂMÂNTUL GENERAL

Author(s): Cristina Straistari-Lungu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 32/2023

In the context of today's society, knowledge of a foreign language of international circulation is an essential competence. In these conditions, there is a need for both children and students to be able to communicate in an international language. The use of a language, including its learning, comprises a series of actions carried out by people who, as individuals and social actors, develop a set of general competences, but above all, a communicative competence based on the exploitation of linguistic means. They use the skills at their disposal in various contexts and conditions, complying with different constraints in order to carry out communicative activities, applying the most appropriate corresponding strategies to fulfill the given tasks.

EFORTURILE DE REFORMARE A ÎNVĂȚĂMÂNTULUI DIN MOLDOVA SECOLULUI AL XIX-LEA. FRAȚII NEOFIT ȘI FILARET SCRIBAN

Author(s): Adrian Duțuc / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 32/2023

In the first half of the 19th century Metropolitan Veniamin Costachi, a bishop persistently involved in building the Church and Romanian culture, greatly encouraged those who wanted to work for the spiritual development of the Romanian nation, both from the church pulpit and from the pedagogical chair. Many people joined the efforts of Metropolitan Veniamin, but we believe that the best known and most diligent of all were the Scriban brothers: Neofit and Filaret. Well-known personalities, both in contemporaneity and for posterity, they made notable contributions to the development and modernization of education in Moldova in the 19th century.

DEFINING PEDAGOGICAL CONCEPTS

Author(s): Daniela Maria Șerban / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 32/2023

The concern of specialists and linguists regarding the study of terminologies has developed in the last decades of the 20th century. Theoretical and practical researches indicate the existence of concerns regarding this field, both internationally and nationally. The establishment of unitary terminological system in order to value the particularities of scientific language, in a broad sense, the interest regarding the relationship between linguistic and terminology represents only a few areas of this domain. The role of pedagogy in cultural development as well as the importance given to this field justifies our interest in this theme, moreover is also the reason of sustaining the relevance as well as the actuality of the recommended approaches of the research. I took into consideration the inner perspective of the approach regarding terminology based on the theory of Maria Teresa Cabré, Angela Bidu-Vrănceanu, firmly convinced of the fact that in an extensive research the dimension of the specialized lexis cannot be ignored. Regarding the scientific approach of my dissertation I highlighted the identification of specific features of the general lexis in the domain of pedagogy, the elements that define the lexical semantic area, extended analysis of the lexical and functional features of the pedagogical terminology. In this context we research the relationship between the common and specialized lexis with the aim of identifying the features of terminology in the field of pedagogy. One of our concerns was to point out the interdisciplinary character of the lexis regarding pedagogy, integrating lexical elements from different scientific domains as well as comparative identification of the relevant features of specialized meanings in pedagogy.
