    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Development of Intercultural Education through English language textbooks used in elementary schools in B&amp;H]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In today’s globalized world mono-cultural societies have been gradually disappearing. A trend towards the creation of multicultural societies began in 1960s. New multicultural societies were forced by the virtue of new conditions to engage themselves with others. The number of international institutions has adopted documents, which became the backbone of new education policy. Therefore, school systems worldwide began to work intensively on the promotion of intercultural values among young people. Intercultural education is most explicitly accomplished through textbook contents which encourage interaction, exchange, desegregation, interdependency and solidarity among people belonging to different cultural groups living in the same territory. Yet nowadays many multicultural nations encounter difficulties in holding together multicultural diversity and in establishing harmonious interpersonal relationships. This work deals with content analysis as one of the most frequently applied research methods in the field of education; and it is concerned with the analysis of the intercultural content in English language textbooks used in B&amp;H in elementary schools. The main goal of this research is to determine the quantity and quality of content that point to intercultural education in the textbooks of English language used in elementary schools in the Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research involves both quantitative and qualitative analysis. We selected nine categories, important for intercultural education throughout English language textbooks: identity, cooperation and friendship, respect, tolerance, cultural relativism, stereotype, prejudice, oppression, and labeling. Results of textual analysis will offer scientific insight about the possible contributions of English language textbooks to intercultural education in B&amp;H. This research for us is important because we believe that if multiculturalism is accepted as an asset not as a burden, with its proper utilization within the education system, multicultural nations would inevitably continue to benefit from their diversity.]]></dcterms:abstract>

In high education, technology  has had a dramatic impact on teaching and learning, including service-learning  experience. Service-learning classes and activities can be augmented through the use of  technology to provide more effective experience for faculty, students and community  participants. With their ready access to new technologies, higher education institutions  are well-positioned to take advantage of rapid changes in the field.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Development of the Intercultural Competence in the Initial Foreign Language Teacher Education]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The contemporary research in initial teacher education is oriented towards development of student - teacher teaching competences through the reflective approach and experiential learning. In 2008 in Croatia, in the context of changes in teacher education at the university level within the &#039;Bologna reform process&#039;, a new competence-development curricula was introduced in initial foreign language teacher education. The development of foreign language teacher competence and its components within the new university curricula were examined through the application of the reflective approach and a new instrument, the European portfolio for foreign language teachers.    The participants in this study were 66 student- teachers of English, French, and Italian from three Croatian universities. Research was conducted during the practical part of their education in Croatian schools. A mixed research method was applied. It included a quantitative analysis of students’ self- evaluations of gained competences according to the descriptors in the portfolio and a qualitative analysis of a semi - structured interview with the participants about their experiences in working with a portfolio.    The results of this research show that new foreign language teacher education programs do not sufficiently develop certain components of teacher competence such as the intercultural competence. Even though that component is stressed in the ministerial programs for foreign language teaching in public schools and it is formally included in the university curricula, the students seem to fail to recognize the connection between language and culture and are more oriented towards teaching methodology of reading, listening, speaking and writing.   ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Anahtar Kelimeler: Efsane, Menkıbe, Memorat, Dini Şahsiyet, Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi.  ÖZET  Dini şahsiyetlerin etrafında oluşan sözlü anlatı türlerinin tam anlamıyla ne olduğu ve sınırları hakkında kesin yargıların oluşmadığı; üzerinde ittifak edilmiş bir literatür birliği sağlanamadığı görülmektedir. Bu durum efsanelerin ve alt türlerinin bugün itibarıyla farklı icra ortamlarında anlatılıyor olması ve oluşum süreçlerinin tamamlanmış olmamasının sonucudur. Çeşitli sosyal ortamlarda kutsal sayılan dinî şahsiyetler etrafında birçok sözlü anlatı icra edilmektedir. Bu anlatı türlerinin tarifi, tasnifi üzerinde çeşitli görüşler ortaya konmaktadır. Bu çalışmalar daha çok sözlü kültürden elde edilen yeni anlatı metinleri üzerinde yapılan tespit ve değerlendirmelere dayanmaktadır. Bu da bize folklorun yenilenebilir doğası gereği sözlü kültür ortamından derlenerek ortaya konan yeni çalışmalarla söz konusu tarif ve tasnif gayretlerinin devam edeceğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada amaçlanan, Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi etrafında oluşan ve tarafımızdan derlenen sözlü anlatı metinleri üzerinden dinî şahsiyetler etrafında teşekkül eden anlatı türleri üzerine bir tasnif denemesi yapmak ve bu suretle bundan sonra yapılacak çalışmalara katkı sağlamaktır. Çalışmamızda dinî şahsiyetler etrafında oluşan sözlü anlatı türleri üzerine daha önce yapılan tasnifler değerlendirilmiş ve konu ile ilgili düşüncelerimiz ortaya konulmuştur. Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi etrafında teşekkül eden ve tarafımızdan yazılı sözlü ve elektronik ortamdan derleme metoduyla elde edilen “metin”ler, işlevleri doğrultusunda hangi türe dâhil edilmelidir ve bu metinler kaç grupta incelenmelidir sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Ayrıca dinî şahsiyetler etrafında oluşan anlatılar üzerine yapılan çalışmaların kapsamı ve bu çalışmaların nasıl yapılması gerektiği konusu üzerinde de durulmuştur.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Dialogical Voices and Construction of the Diasporic Identity]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the last decades, diasporic communities across the world and global shifts in the movement of people have provided critical spaces for both essentialist and traditional binary frameworks of ethnicity, nation and identity encapsulated in colonial and nationalist metanarratives. Worn out researches carried out in the field of post-colonial and diaspora studies have emphasised identity formation of immigrants as a linear process in which non-Western European immigrants reconstitute their identities as citizens of the First World especially by focusing mostly on Edward Said and his Orientalism. However - in the wake of increasing global interactions and border crossings - various discursive practices, cultural and personal positions of the diasporic communities have led to the construction of hybrid identities. This productive hybridity opens up dialogic spaces for diasporic subjectivity where discussions about “identity” challenge unchanging narratives of the stable self and welcomes multiplicity of continuous and discontinuous selves in relation to “other”. This point of view, by challenging set boundaries and silenced others, uncovers importance of different voices in the diasporic evaluation of the ‘self’. In this sense, identity formation of diasporic communities is a dialogical process which involves multiple cultures and histories; never ending moving back and forth movement between incompatible cultural and discursive positions. The construction of diasporic self, just like the characters of different contexts, involves the dynamic relation of the various self-positions in other spaces through dialogue with others. Today the term diaspora has been moving away from its static definition as forced displacement, home and away places, or home and alien place toward transnational, fluid and multiple movements resulting in contemporary transnational diasporic conditions and identities. This paper will specifically discuss the never ending and unstable dialogic identity formation within the context of diaspora experience.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Charles Dickens is a distinguished novelist and an influential figure in the  Victorian period. In spite of that, some superficial observation and generalization is  rife in critical commentaries about his novels. Such repeated assertions are not always  the case when respectively applied to the characters and the novels of the writer. One  of the achievements that Dickens possesses in connection with the art of his novels is  his obvious success in creating memorable characters in his substantial novels. The  power that lies under his striking success is that he uses so many interesting  techniques to describe characters in detail. He uses many fixed phrases, styles of  clothing, parts of jewelry, typical pets, chronic diseases, handy tools, elements of  decorations, positions of the body, and mannerisms in using some external organs and  the manners associated in daily life. Characters are marked with such techniques and  these become indispensable parts of their characterization. Based on the actions and  the manners, characters seen with these objects are easily recognized and remembered  by the reader to the end of a particular novel. The vivid, colorful, credible and lifelike  characters and the techniques used for their creation prove the matchless mastery of  the writer.]]></dcterms:abstract>

Practical solutions for the structure and modes of production, as well as for the cognitive aspect, have already been recommended with the results properly substantiated by the examples of abbreviations. This research presents results for the functional aspect, which refers to stylistic and sociolinguistic, pragmatic and text-linguistic aspects. We provided solutions for analysing stylistic features of the abbreviations andthe expressive means and stylistic devices used in their formation.
