Teacher talk is an indispensible part of language teaching in an EFL context which is importance and usefulness mainly consists in its management with respect to the context in which it is employed. The current study explores language teacher discourse from a pedagogical or functional perspective in writing classes. The descriptive framework for analyzing the writing teacher talk in this study rested on a generalizable corpus of three different sets of writing sessions held by two expert writing teachers, totaling roughly 18.5 hours of 15 sessions or 15500 words. The investigation undertaken based on Analysis of Speech units revealed three distinct pedagogical episodes, namely Focal, Remedial and Notional talk. By these three modes writing teachers can orally fulfill their pedagogical purposes of teaching, recovering, and evaluating the linguistic and conceptual structures by either text-directed or non-text directed speech. It was also found out that the text-shared teaching or text-directed teacher talk can bring about more student talk and participation, which are significant to identify then support their learning needs. Finally, the most common episode switches observed in the study were related to Notional –to Focal, Remedial-to Focal, and Remedial-to- Notional transitions respectively.

Author Author Mohamed, Maha Fathi Abstract A summary of the resource. Misr International University (MIU) is a private Egyptian university whose medium of instruction is English. It consists of 8 faculties, one of which is Faculty of Alsun (languages), English Department. During the 4 years of study at Alsun, students take literature, translation & applied linguistics courses that help them improve their linguistic competence and become professional literary critics, translators or English Language teachers. As a graduation requirement, students have to do a project incorporating skills and ideas they have learned. On the other hand, when joining MIU, students of all majors sit for an English exam in order to be placed in one of 5 English Language levels. The purpose is to improve students’ language skills to enable them to cope with studying in English and succeed in their various majors. The purpose of this study is to present an approach to the teaching – learning process in which theory is put to practice. As such, Alsun graduation project was to tailor a language curriculum for the first level of English at MIU. The aim is to base the curriculum on the needs of the university as well as give Alsun students the chance to implement what they have studied. Fourth year Alsun students underwent that experiment during the Fall semester of 2011. They were divided into groups of 4, where each group developed 3 English language lessons. Students’ work was based on the theoretical framework of Gardner’s (1983) “Multiple Intelligence Theory” & on Richards’ (2007) steps of curriculum development. The paper will describe the steps students followed, including establishing needs, planning learning outcomes, providing instructional material & effective teaching methods & providing evaluation means. It will also talk about problems they have met, methods of overcoming them and finally feedback from teachers and students in the English language classes.

The issuance of government regulations on policies on teacher education displays a serious effort of the Indonesian government on improving the quality of teachers in Indonesia. While the regulations have been influential in determining the content and structure of language teacher education program, it clearly signals an increasing awareness of the government on the vital roles that teachers play on the advancement of education in Indonesia (Saukah, 2009). Yet the policies leave little supports for promoting teacher education for primary school English teachers. The paper has posited that explicit policy directives are lacking especially in embedding specific concentration on English for Young Learners within the current curriculum of pre-service teacher education, the absence of teacher competencies scheme for English teachers in primary schools, and how in-service teacher training programs may reach the bulk of English teachers in primary schools. In addition, it also accentuates the needs for utilizing the expertise of prominent figures in the area of teaching English in primary schools while maintaining linkages and full cooperation with policy actors at the local level to provide consultancy on formulating and conducting professional development programs.

In the advertising industry today, it is notable that the use of visual elements such as images is fast growing. Earlier ads stated their messages mostly via the textual medium, but in the contemporary advertising the use of images has become more and more common and the relationship between text and visual image became complementary (Leiss et al. 1990: 199). It is up to the readers to decode the intended message that the advertiser conveys. The advertiser’s aim is to make the message more ambiguous. How the reader will interpret it depends on their understanding of the elements (textual and visual) that constitute the ad and how these elements complement each other. According to Leiss et al. (1990: 198), semiotics is a method that is used in studying social phenomena. As far as advertising discourse is concerned, it is one of the fields in which meaning must be inhered and thus can be investigated from the standpoint of semiotics. The French theorist Roland Barthes was one of the first to apply semiotic tools in analyzing popular culture (including advertising discourse), In his work Barthes presents advertising as a myth, which he defines as a type of speech. It can refer to how an ad is presented to us, i.e. which techniques (verbal or non-verbal) are exploited as persuasive tools. Also Barthes (1972: 107) points out that ‘everything can be a myth provided it is conveyed by a discourse’. Myths can be expressed by both writing and some sort of representation (images, drawings etc.). In this sense, when analyzing an ad (text plus image, for instance) we are dealing with that particular image, which is given for that particular signification.

People teaching and learning a foreign language know it is a long and difficult process, yet it is amazing how easily children acquire any language.The crucial question is whether children are born as „tabula rasa“ as far as language is concerned, or whether humans are „programmed“ with an outline knowledge of the structure of language in general. This is so called nature-nurture contraversy. Psycholinguistics is trying to find out about the structures and processes which underlie a human's ability to speak and understand language. This paper deals with still unresolved questions; Do humans acquire language because they are born equipped with some special linguistic ability? Or are they able to learn language because they are highly intelligent animals who are skilled at solving problems of various types? Or could it be mixture of these two posibilities? Chomsky said that humans have an innate knowledge of language structure and it is part of „the child's biological endowment, part of the structure of the language faculty.“ Human infants know in advance what languages are like, they are imprinted with knowledge about languages (innatenes hypothesis).Chomsky also claimed that humans have the ability to understand and produce novel utterances, he called this ability creativity. The second explanation for language ability is that no special knowledge is needed, because children are highly efficient puzzle solvers in all areas of human behaviour. In recent years linguists claim that children not merely acquire the structural patterns of their language, but also learn to use them appropriately within various social settings. Therefore, psycholinguists should pay as much attention to social context as to language structure itself, particulary as children in the early stages of speech are heavily dependent on their surroundings. Impoverished linguistic environment is likely to retard language acquisition, and children living in such environment may be language deprived, while the children living in enriched verbal environment mostly become highly competent speakes.

In language teaching, culture becomes the very core of language teaching. The teaching of culture has been mostly based on topics clearly identified in curricula and, further on, in the textbooks. Cultural awareness as such arises out of the language material being studied, but it is also identified and treated as a regular characteristic of the language lesson. Today, both foreign and national English language textbooks are used by English teachers in elementary schools. But, according to the Curriculum for English of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, each textbook for English language teaching at the elementary school level must consist of 30% of authentic cultural and traditional elements of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Those elements are methodologically incorporated in the textbooks in forms of reading comprehension texts, literary texts, poetry, quizzes and other language activities and exercises. The forms are constructed to develop linguistic and cultural awareness in the community in which they are produced. They can give the learners valuable insight into their own, Bosnian culture as well as to the language and form used to express that culture in English language. However, the purpose is not to, consequently, limit the knowledge and awareness of the English speaking countries’ cultures. On the contrary, they are constructed to noticeably reflect and emphasise the cultural diversities of those countries. This paper provides a comparative study of specifically constructed texts and language activities in different English language textbooks at elementary school level that reflects the culture and tradition of Bosnia and Herzegovina treated alongside with the same ones of English speaking countries. Its aim is to compare methodologies that different authors and co-authors have applied in order to fulfil the requirements of the above mentioned Curriculum.

The Subject of this study are the styles of adolescent humor, their self-evaluation and school success. The study will use a correlation draft, in which descriptive-analytical method will be used. The Instruments will consist of HSQ scales (Humor Styles Questionnaire, Martin, 2003), RSS (Rosenberg self-esteem scale, Rosenberg, 1965), SPINO scales (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Waston, Clark and Tellegen, 1998, α = .82), a questionnaire SOUL (Semantic differential adjectives of affiliative humor, Kerla, 2011, N =100, NI = 26, α = . 96). In a sample of 110 adolescents, students of International School of Sarajevo, the results have shown that there are no statistically significant differences in preference of styles of humor in female and male adolescents. However, there are significant differences in preference of afilliative style of humor in primary and secondary school students (t = 2.6 p = 0.11), as of self-defeating style of humor in elementary and high school students (t = -2.36, p = 0.02).

The aim of this study is to examine the role of ambiguity tolerance and emotional intelligence in listening comprehension of second language learners. Sixty freshman students who are majoring in English teaching in Arak University are chosen. Oxford placement test (1994) was administered to homogenize students. Thereafter, Second Language Tolerance of Ambiguity Scale (SLTAS) (Ely 1995), Norton's Measurement of Ambiguity Tolerance (1975), and Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i; Bar-On, 1997) were administered to analyze the level of ambiguity tolerance and emotional intelligence of students, respectively. Moreover, the listening part of OPT was used to investigate the students’ listening comprehension. The results of the study reveal that there is a relation among ambiguity tolerance, emotional intelligence and listening comprehension.

Although semantic prosody, introduced to the academic community by Louw (1993), has since been the subject of some debate, a consensus on the existence and power of this linguistic phenomenon (diagnosable through corpus analysis alone) has been reached (McEnery and Hardie (2012). Its existence in other languages has also been confirmed, as well as its implications for language teaching (e.g. the Chinese generally tend to use the verb ‘cause’ positively, in defiance of its negative prosody, see Zhang (2009)). The implications of semantic prosodies for translation have also been considered (Stewart 2009). This paper reports the development of corpus stylistics pedagogy based on the key linguistic phenomena discovered by Louw. Along with semantic prosody, these include relexicalisation (a corpus-accessible feature that all literary devices have in common, see Louw (2008)) and logical semantic prosody – subtext (Louw 2010). The existence of subtext has been proved in Russian (Milojkovic 2011), which points to the possibility of its universality. This initial stage of the project will involve second year students of English, University of Belgrade, who do not have a prior grounding in corpus linguistics or literary stylistics. The use of stylistics terminology relevant to Louw’s theory will be avoided. The students will be asked to analyse short excerpts from English poetic and prose texts using reference corpora (the BNC and the corpus of the 1995 edition of the Times newspaper). After the analysis, they will be given the same texts in their existing Serbian translation and asked if the translations incorporate the stylistic features discovered in the originals. For the purposes of this paper the research questions will be 1) what is the successful methodology of a corpus stylistics pedagogy, 2) what is the effect of corpus stylistics methods on students’ awareness of the nuances of language use and 3) what is the effect of the comparison between the original and the translated text. Answers to these questions will be obtained through a combination of a qualitative survey and the teacher’s observation.

Everything has been predefined with the previous historical events. Mattia Pascal has destroyed all previous notions of a modern man and, in a high satirical way, plays with the role of a man in today’s society. Facing the opportunity that life does not offer quit often: to live out of frames and forms dictated by the society, he decides to take advantage of the given chance, remembering his story too good to be able to get rid of it. He cannot reject it nor can he radically change it. He realizes that society does not tolerate needs of an individual, and that the determinism of its laws can never be defeated.
