    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[How to Express Politeness in Swedish?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: politeness, youth, swedish, urban settings ABSTRACT There are several disciplines studying linguistic politeness but there is no consensus among scientists which definition best describes the phenomenon. Notions of politeness such as politic behavior (Watts, 1992.2003), report management (Spencer-Oatey2002,2008) appropriate behavior (Meier, 1995), or relational (Arundale) are some examples which define politeness by linguistic expressions. Politeness norms are not static in all socio-groups in a society, and my ambition has been to shed light on the socio-cultural structure that defines the phenomenon and identify the categories which define politeness. Results show that the informants conceptualisation of politeness involve not only verbal but also non-verbal behavior. In some situations acts, such as giving up one’s seat or helping with the stroller are considered even more important and are valued more highly than the verbal politeness expressions. (ACTION). To ”ask nicely” (fråga snällt); to adjust one’s language, and / or explain a request can be a sign of polite behavior acootding to informants. (ORDERLY LANGUAGE).Good behavior is related to &quot;etiquette&quot; i.e socially acceptable behavior which can be described as a set of socio-cultural norms. According to informants, a person is considered well-mannered when he or she knows how to behave in certain social contexts.(BEHAVIOR) Polite linguistic expressions have to be complemented with proper body language and corresponding prosody in order to express politeness. The prosody is considered very important in successful polite expressions. (PROSODY and BODY LANGUAGE). How to express politeness in Swedish relates directly to the categories that constitute the phenomenon. Results show that young people in urban settings value ”artighet” (politeness) depending on the basis of an &quot;it depends&quot; parameter. Social variables such as R (relationship / feelings), K(context / situation) and A (appearance / age) motivate and justify politeness between speakers. Preliminary results show that categories that constitute politeness in Swedish are: respect (respekt), consideration (hänsyn) and tact (takt).]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this study is to search effectiveness level of the primary schools, to  examine the relationships between the levels of effectiveness and to study whether there is a  meaningful relationship between independent factors and level of effectiveness or not. Inputs,  climate, teaching, conditions and outputs are taken into consideration as the factors of the  effectiveness. While the level of the effectiveness in the primary schools is found in medium  level in the sample of 25 primary schools but mean levels are different. Meaningful  differences are observed in some of the independent factors. The relationships between some  factors are determined as strong positive in coefficient Pearson Correlation.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[How to Make the Test for the Exam of the Foreign Language]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Modern teaching methods for foreign language insist mostly on communicative skills and this is what the teacher pays the most attention to. Also, the faculties’ rules insist on written form of the exams. The problem is: how to exam the communicative skills by written tests, especially if you don’t wont, or you can’t use the mother tongue of students?    The problem can be solved in several ways: Text with questions about its meaning, pictures of some situation to be describe, the dialog with the gaps to fill… And then, there is one more problem: how much the spell checking is important for the beginners? Which stage of learning some language is the best for insisting on correct spelling? Is it beginning, or later? How much it depend of the type of language? Every answer open more and more questions, but this paper will try to answer at least some of them, including one example of test at the end. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[How to Meet the 21st century Teaching Demands]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The 21st-century classroom is an increasingly changeable environment in which teachers are required to update their knowledge and skills constantly. However, professional development opportunities that are available to teachers are more often than not inadequate with respect to the content presented, the format of the presentation, venue or price. Moreover, existing professional development activities are one-shot events and, as such, they cannot meet different teachers’ needs or aid them in their professional pursuits. The 21st-century education calls for the introduction of continuous professional development (CPD) for teachers.     As introduction of CPD entails numerous amendments to the entire educational system, it goes without saying that it requires a long time to be implemented. In such a situation, teachers are left on their own to bridge the gap. The paper is based on the results of a yearlong research project in which 10 English language teachers attempted to resolve their teaching issues by transforming their personal knowledge into a collective, shared and cohesive professional knowledge by the means of peer coaching. The aim of the paper is to indicate to the need for teacher cooperation for overcoming classroom challenges, improving their teaching practice and their students’ learning.    The results obtained clearly indicate to the fact that peer coaching yields desired changes related to the improvement of teaching practice and students&#039; knowledge even though it is a lengthy process entailing extensive logistics.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There has been a slowdown in the accession negotiations due to the  blockage of negotiations chapters since 2006. EU affairs have lost their  past lure in Turkey. And, Turkey decided to freeze its relations with the  Presidency of the Council of the EU during the second half of 2012 and not  to attend meetings chaired by the Cyprus EU Presidency. But despite these  negative developments, the enhanced political dialogue between the EU  and Turkey has continued. In this framework, the European Union has  proposed a new positive agenda in order to enhance Turkey-EU relations  and promote reforms in Turkey. The aim of this process is to keep the  accession process of Turkey alive and bring a new momentum into Turkey-  EU relations. In addition to, the new government in France gives signals it  could reconsider its position with regard to the negotiation chapters that  had blocked in 2007.  Therefore, at present, serious efforts are needed to revive the negotiation  process with a new impetus.  Keywords: international relations, the European Union]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[How to Teach Paragraph Structure]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: downshifting, abstraction, critical ,thinking, paragraph development  ABSTRACT  One of the biggest problems in teaching paragraph writing, to both non-native and native English speakers alike, is the concept of adequate development. Too often students write “paragraphs” of only one sentence, or of multiple but only loosely related sentences. We urge them to write a more general topic sentence and more specific supporting details, but what does this mean? Many international students are not familiar with writing in paragraph form and have difficulty distinguishing general from specific. A concrete technique for teaching paragraph development stems from the semanticist S. I. Hayakawa’s “Ladder of Abstraction” and his concept of “downshifting.” It consists of four steps, starting with word pairs and sentence pairs, then the abstraction ladder itself, sample paragraphs, and finally, students’ own paragraphs. Consensus on the level of generality of a particular item is less important than understanding the interplay between levels. For many students the visual aid of the abstraction ladder and the act of numbering sentences fit well with their learning modalities. Participants in this hands-on demonstration will analyze and rewrite examples for all four steps, taking home several concrete ways to teach paragraph writing. This paragraph development technique improves not only writing, including significance, support, unity, and coherence through adequate transitions. Students can see the whole essay as a macrocosm of paragraph structure. The technique also improves reading, note-taking, and exam preparation by helping students distinguish main ideas from evidence, generalizations from supporting details, and inference from fact. It can even help students separate the woods from the trees in their personal lives!]]></dcterms:abstract>

Euroatlantizam, kao skup odnosa zemalja Sjeverne Amerike i Europe danas prolazi svoju novu  do sada  najkompleksniju fazu, a procesi euroatlantske i europske integracije dva su paralelna, međusobno povezana procesa koja obilježavaju suvremena zbivanja tzv.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The world is having a crisis on international relations because of the Civil War in Syria, which  soon enough turned into a Modern World War (MWW). This conflict complexes the whole world and  questions the life of limitless innocent people. Drawing the conflict visually, this paper attempts to  explain the use of humanitarian intervention in the case of Syria and surveys the main influential  countries included in the war and their reasons for doing so. This review explains the exact event - of 15  students killed by the government - that led to the Civil War and precisely how its size became getting  bigger day by day. Besides doing research and explaining the reasons of the conflict, it also focuses on  possible and realistic solutions to end the war and support the Syrian refugees, on which the whole  burden of the war falls. The review incorporates various methods including data collection and their  analysis.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance and scientific pursuit  &quot;human side”, and the necessity of implementing the strategy of motivation to  employee performance. During the last hundred years the work has been  transformed from assembly line production to more creative one, where  machinery took over the all repetitious and routine tasks, giving people  possibillity devotion to that business process parts, which requested creativity,  adaption and innovation. In that new economy the main management tasks  have been completely changed. In assembly line production and „old  economy“ the main management tasks were establishing of clearly defined  system and as precise as possible control of that system. The main manager  task in the new economy is developing potentials of every employee and  choosing the right working team which will possess the optimal capability for  work accomplishing.  The research alone has the task to understand the relationship between  institutions and employee performance. What makes some employment  relationships successful, and causes others to fail? What is the role of  government and the law in enhancing the performance of existing and new  employment relationships? These are key questions for personnel economics.  Personnel Economics analyses how to model the relationship between such  psychological factors, individual workplace performance, and general labor  market outcomes.  Every bank and financial institution is involved in various functions in a day&#039;s  job and thus requires a highly effective team and appropriate manpower to  run the show. Corporate goals are translated into viable realities and profits  only with human element who play their due role in achieving the desired  results. An important reason for the need of designing work motivation is the  need for understanding the mechanisms of behavior as a basis for the system  to motivate. One of the key strategic task managers today becomes effective  management of human resources in the context of the construction of a  coherent system of motivation.Keywords: Discrete Time, the Vasicek Model,  Interest Rate.
