IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT L2 LEARNING – THE IMPACT OF CERTAIN FACTORS

Author(s): Mariana Gotseva / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Learners of L2 in foreign learning settings receive a different type of input, in terms of quantity and quality, and have a much more limited exposure to the target language. Having taken this into consideration, the research presented in this article attempted to analyse the outcomes of the L2 learning process which takes place in such conditions through the perspective of implicit /explicit learning and implicit / explicit knowledge dichotomy. It seems justified by the fact that the conditions in which L2 learning happens in a foreign language classroom do not resemble, even remotely, the naturalistic learning in immersion environment. The former presupposes mostly explicit learning and acquisition of explicit knowledge, which might or might not turn into implicit knowledge, depending on the length of learning and exposure to L2, whereas the latter presupposes implicit (L1 children-like) learning and acquisition of implicit knowledge, although it might be supplemented by explicit knowledge as a result of education in formal environment. The findings showed that the most significant factors which have an impact on learners’ performance on tests measuring implicit knowledge (TGJT and OIT) tend to be the length of exposure to L2 in environment where it is used as native and the starting age of learning, followed by length of learning and type of input, which were also found statistically significant. Learners who perform better on tests measuring implicit knowledge also demonstrate higher levels of proficiency, which points to the fact that an L2 is best learned through acquiring implicit knowledge.

WAS IST DAS ZIEL EINES FREMDSPRACHENUNTERRICHTS? UND WANN KANN MAN SAGEN, DASS MAN EINE FREMDSPRACHE BEHERRSCHT?

Author(s): Viera Lagerová / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

In this paper, the author focuses mainly on foreign language teaching and its objectives, which serve not only the mediation of the basics of a foreign language, but it also has an educational mission. It is therefore appropriate that in foreign language teaching tasks are given that take into account not only cognitive but also social, emotional and motivational aspects of acquiring a foreign language involved extensively in the development of key competencies of pupils. General competences are those which are characteristic of the language, but which are necessary for the different activities as e.g. to purposely gain new knowledge and skills, to understand the intention of the specified task, to use the acquired language actively and frequently, to supplement their knowledge and develop language skills, to interconnect them with the knowledge, to systematize them and use for its further development and real life, to evaluate their progress critically, to receive feedback and be aware of the possibility of their development, to use available materials for self-study and so on.

Application of Cyber Intelligence for Security Operation Center

Author(s): Nedko Tagarev / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Ensuring practical cyber intelligence for a Security Operation Center (SOC) involves collecting, analyzing, and utilizing information about cyber threats to enhance the organization's security posture. This encompasses the gathering and analysis of data on potential and active cyber threats, including Indicators of Compromise (IoCs)" which refer to signs that a security breach may have occurred, while "Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs)" refer to the methods and behaviours used by an attacker to carry out a cyber attack and utilized by threat actors. Additionally, it entails the use of advanced tools to monitor networks, systems, and applications for suspicious activities, such as the utilization of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). Furthermore, it involves developing and implementing plans to respond to security incidents, including identifying, containing, eradicating, and recovering from cyber-attacks. Regularly scanning systems for vulnerabilities and applying patches or mitigations to reduce the attack surface are also crucial components of cyber intelligence in the SOC. Lastly, monitoring and analyzing user and entity behaviour to detect anomalies that could indicate insider threats or compromised accounts is another significant aspect of effectively integrating cyber intelligence into SOC operations.
