On the Principle of Traductological Relativity: Re-Interpreting Schleiermacher

Author(s): Suren T. Zolyan / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2019

The translation is a multidimensional phenomenon. All the theories stress the diversity of its types and strategies. Aspects described as an unexplainable deviation within one theory can form the foundation for another. This may lead to the idea of replacing a theory of translation with its empiric version. However, a different approach is also possible. The outlines of the theory of translational and traductological relativity can be derived from the ideas firstly voiced by Schleiermacher in his lecture On the different methods of translation (1813) and Quineʼs theory of indeterminacy of translation.

Author(s): Antony Hoyte-West / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Irish became the 23rd official language of the European Union ( EU) i n 2 007. Due to a lack of qualified translators and interpreters, it is currently subject to a derogation which restricts its use in the EU institutions, a situation which aims to be remedied by 2022. Yet the Irish language represents a unique case even within the Republic of Ireland itself. Under British rule, centuries of repression confined its usage to he rural fringes of society, a state of a ffairs that an independent Ireland has attempted to improve with limited success. This article analyses how recognition of official EU status for Irish has been depicted in the Republic of Ireland’s English-language print media. By performing a qualitative content analysis of the online archives of the country’s three major English-language newspapers, the aim is to illustrate how official EU status for Irish has been portrayed, paying specific attention to political, cultural and economic factors.

Варианти за интегриране на музикални елементи в обучението по английски език като чужд в началния етап

Author(s): Penka Kaneva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2023

Regardless of the scientific evidence about the positive influence of music on language development, the presence of music elements in the process of teaching English as a foreign language is still insufficient. Some methodological ideas are presented in the paper, after the thorough review and interpretation of literary sources. These ideas can be applied both to the exercises from the textbooks and to the additional learning content selected by the teachers according to the language level and needs of the students. The possibilities for integrating music elements into the process of teaching English as a foreign language are divided into two groups: 1) activities which integrate instrumental music and 2) activities which integrate vocal music and rhythmic elements. Presented methodological ideas do not exhaust all available ones but could become starting point for developing new solutions and to help pedagogical specialists to see the positive influence of the music on language development.

A more specific image of the contemporary foreign language e-textbook is shaped by adding new characteristics to the list of the basic characteristics required. The article deals with determination of those characteristics of e-textbooks that will make their use more in demand for the study of languages, including Korean. The purpose of the article is to determine the main characteristics of a foreign language e-textbook as well as to analyze how they will reflect the specifics of the language in question and how exactly they will manifest themselves. The analytical study of e-textbook prototypes developed both practically and theoretically on the basis of criteria set for e-textbooks, the software being used and the research experience let the authors identify the mandatory minimum characteristics required for the foreign language e-textbook and compile the scheme for the distribution of the characteristics into groups. The results showed that the main requirement of a cross-cutting, primary nature for the entire set of e-textbooks under consideration is hyperconnectivity. The study allowed identifying linguodidactic and technological components of foreign language e-textbooks, as well as those of the Korean language e-textbook (a multimodal interactive dictionary) specifically, which are in a hyperconnected relationship with each other.

Together or not? The Effects of Individual and Group Work of the Faculty of Philology Students During E-learning Online

Author(s): Anna Ślósarz / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

This article tested a widespread belief that by working in groups distance education students achieve cognitive goals of learning, and develop their social competencies and skills. The subject of the study was the achievements of 655 bachelor and master degree students enrolled in 22 on-campus and blended learning units offered within 2 university courses, full-time and part-time, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e. in the academic years 2020/2021 and 2021/2022. An instrumental case study was carried out: the grades students obtained for individual work were compared with grades obtained for work done in pairs and groups of threes within the same courses. It was found that a statistically significant difference did not exist. But the highest grades (on average 83.81) were obtained by students who had worked individually, and the lowest (81.64%) by those who had worked in groups of three. The highest grades were obtained by the final-year students. They showed an understanding of the assessment criteria and the ability to follow such. Also, they wanted to pass on the first attempt in order to have time to prepare for the final examination. International students were reluctant to work in groups. They focused on achieving good grades and preparing for the thesis due to the time limits of student visas and the unrest caused by the war in Ukraine. First-year students who had no experience in adhering to the assessment criteria and problems with communicating due to isolation caused by the pandemic obtained the lowest grades.

The Appeal of Gamification for Master’s Students of Science and Technology

Author(s): Iwona Mokwa-Tarnowska,Viviana Tarnowska,Magdalena Roszak / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Universities can offer their master’s students who want to improve their language skills different learning environments. They can range from traditional classes to online programmes equivalent to an on-campus experience or reaching beyond it. Learning technical English through a curriculum that is inspiring and stimulating due to authentic materials used in a gamified setting can result in positive learning outcomes and increased satisfaction levels among lecturers and students. The former can find new challenges helping prevent burnout, the latter have the chance to develop hard and soft skills, including analytical, reflective and critical thinking, through context-specific language. Interactions structured around online activities which involve searching for information in authentic resources and completing activities that allow for progress to the next level can effectively prepare students for challenges they will encounter in their professional life. They can also capture imagination and unlock the creative potential of the educators involved in their development and of participants bored with school routine and textbooks. Thus, a gamified language course for specific purposes can become a highly motivating environment, in which young people develop their creativity, language proficiency and knowledge of technological advances not only in the fields of their interest; they are also exposed to new learning practices due to the application of game-design elements. The ideas presented above will be supported by students’ opinions and attitudes expressed during a pilot Moodle course in a gamified format conducted at Gdansk University of Technology in the summer semester of 2021/2022.

Лингводидактологически симулации в часовете по чужд език

Author(s): Mihal Pavlov,Milena Yordanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2023

In this article, the object of interest is the linguodidactological simulations in the process of learning a foreign language. In the context of the leading modern trends in the field of research in private linguodidactology, an attempt is made to outline the figure of the foreign language teacher as a “methodical screenwriter” and the tasks he performs to optimize the mastery of communicative competence through the perspective of linguodidactology simulations. The methodology used is analysis of sources, observation of positive practices and modeling of techniques for transposition of a linguistic-communicative fragment of reality in the learning process of a foreign language. Based on an analysis of achievements in the field of theory and practice of interactive foreign language learning, guidelines are formulated for the development of various types of simulation activities for mastering the studied language, in which the learner acquires a leading role in the learning process. A model for a widely applicable linguistic didactic simulation in the conditions of active foreign language learning is proposed and the main activities that should be performed to achieve positive results from its application in the learning process are outlined.
