A special attention to speech acts is required when teaching and learning foreign language aiming to achieve more natural communication in a foreign language. We need to take care not just about language communication, but about social communication as well. It is of big importance to be familiar and to get know very well the patterns of behavior and customs of that cultural environment. The subject of this paper are the speech acts in every day communication in Greek language which are used for expressing permission, allowance, gratitude, greeting, apology, congratulation and leave-taking expressions. First of all, we are going to consider speech acts of interpersonal language function in every day communication and try to determine their alternations and equivalents in Serbian language.

This paper, titled Age as a Factor of Second Language Acquisition examines the relationship of age factor to second language acquisition. It examines the development of the theories relating age to language development. The idea that the early age is a major factor in native-proficient in second language acquisition is a widely held and popular belief. Such views have been supported by many theories that were first proposed in the middle of the 20th century. This decision is usually based on the belief that younger children learn second languages more easily and more rapidly than adolescents and adults. The aim of foreign languages at the beginning of school education is to make children familiar with other means of communication other than their mother tongue, as well as to make them accept the use of other languages in a natural way and therefore start to acquire a multilingual competence that will enable them to communicate in a foreign language in daily situations and contexts which are typical of that age.

Language learning is strongly affected by different affective variables. Motivation has a nucleus role in one’s learning process. However, the purpose of this article is to examine students’ motivation and attitudes towards learning English. I am going firstly to investigate students’ motivation in terms of Instrumental and Integrative motivations based on Gardner’ definitions, then, I will regard to their attitudes vis à vis the importance of English in various contexts namely: The Educational context, The Algerian social context and The Cultural context, and for a better understanding, I have conducted a study with 1st year EFL students from the University of Sidi Bel-Abbès. To collect data for this research, a questionnaire is submitted to fifty students. As a close look to the students’ motivation, the findings show that students are firmly in favour of Instrumental Motivation; their views are related to job opportunities and media. As far as students’ attitudes are concerned, they hold a favourable attitude towards both English language and culture.

This paper deals with an analysis of media discourse on war. It is based on an extensive research of reporting of British and Montenegrin dailies on NATO airstrikes on Yugoslavia in 1999. The analysis was based on Teun Van Dijk’s theory on news schemata and Fairclough’s approach to Critical Discourse Analysis. The paper will present selected examples from the British dailies the Guardian, the Independent and the Times to illustrate the organisational pattern of news and an interpretation based on critical discourse analysis approach.

The number of cases in the world languages can vary significantly, ranging from no morphological case marking (e.g. English) to more than ten cases (e.g. Ket, language isolate, Siberia). The distribution of the case marking pattern may appear to be random, but it is in fact systematic (Iggesen 2010). This paper examines the number of cases in the productive case paradigm in relation to langauge contact in the past. There are some areas in the world that saw much intense contact among neighboring languages and dialects of a single language, i.e. intense contacts in the past force the case to be simplified and the total number of cases will be reduced. This is mainly due to the fact that speakers shifted their attention from expressing details of their information to classifying details of information (cf. Durst-Andersen 2011). This type of contact-induced changes can be found in other areas of grammatical items, such as the creation of definite articles (e.g. Toyota and Kovacevic forthcoming). Thus, contacts have a very significant impact on grammatical structure of modern languages.

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), a type of specific knowledge that teachers possess, involves the synthesis of subject-matter knowledge and pedagogical knowledge (Shulman, 1986). PCK is developed through years of experience in the classroom since how to organize and represent specific content in forms that will facilitate students’ learning is one of the most difficult aspects of learning to teach (Veal, 1999). Although teacher education programs offer courses that aim to broaden prospective teachers’ (PTs) subject-matter knowledge and pedagogical knowledge, teaching opportunities are limited; thus, it may be assumed that PTs have limited or minimal PCK. Studies on the development of prospective teachers’ PCK are scarce and mainly conducted in the fields of science and mathematics education (Ruhama, 1993; Van Driel et al., 2002; Lee et al. 2007). The present study aims to investigate the PCK development of 5 Turkish prospective teachers of English who are currently completing their third year in a teacher education program of a state university in Turkey. Data comprises of lesson preparation tasks based on a literary text and written reflections of participants illustrating their thought processes. Data will be analyzed through qualitative means and the findings of the study will be discussed by referring to the relevant literature.

In foreign language teaching can be used appropriate texts. What are “appropriate texts” .in parallel to the velocity and multifunctionality, they are given importance especially in modern technology. Since they are short and multifunctional, in this paper will be treated ballads in the context of foreign language teaching. Ballads, which have lyrical characteristics, and also epic and dramatic features, provide a good material exercises in order to develop reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Ballads are also texts that can be used from the content perspective for the acquisition of a historical and cultural, intercultural knowledge and competence. In this paper the example of attempts by various ballads show that literary texts in foreign language teaching can be used diversely and that text-selection is relevant.

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.

There is general consensus among applied linguists, foreign language teachers/learners and researchers that vocabulary learning is an essential part of mastering a second language (Schmitt, 2008: 329). In order to function adequately in English, some threshold levels of vocabulary knowledge have been proposed in literature. Nation (2006) proposes that for 98% comprehension of a reading text, 8000 to 9000 word-family vocabulary is needed. For oral discourse, a vocabulary of 6000-7000 is suggested by Nation (2006) and that of a 5000-7000 by Schmitt (2008). Many researchers have agreed that knowing a word means much more than knowing its meaning (Aitchison, 1994; Laufer, 1997; Nation, 2001; Schmitt, 2000) and considering the various aspects of knowing a word (e.g. spelling, meaning, grammatical behavior, collocations, register), vocabulary acquisition is an incremental and time-consuming process where learners need multiple exposures in different contexts. Hence, using the most effective methods in vocabulary teaching should be a primary concern for language teachers, given the limited class time and the mass amount of vocabulary to be learned. This experimental study is a comparison of two well-known methods, Grammar Translation Method (GTM) and Total Physical Response (TPR), in teaching vocabulary by using a famous novel adapted as a graded reader. The participants were 8th low-intermediate 8th graders at a private school in İstanbul, Turkey. The control group (n=19) was taught 80 target words compiled from the assigned book through GTM techniques whereas the experiment group (n=18) through TPR. During GTM explicit vocabulary teaching, left brain activities were mostly used whereas in TPR teaching, mostly right brain activities were preferred. A pre-test and post-test design was used with a 100-item multiple choice vocabulary test for both tests. Results revealed a statistically significant difference on part of the TPR group. Pedagogical implications and a TPR model for vocabulary teaching are discussed. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012-05-04 Keywords Keywords.

BOZKURT, Elife Abstract A summary of the resource. Turkish and Turcoman are two of the Oghuz group Turkic languages. While Turcoman forms the east section in itself, Turkish is one of the Turkic languages that form the west part with Azerbaijani and Gagauz language. In this work, mistakes made by Turkmen students who learn Turkish as a foreign language will be tried to be identified. This paper aims at exemplifying and identifying different kinds of mistakes that Turkmen students do while learning Turkish as a foreign language, although Turkish and Turcoman are under the same subsection of the same language family; that’s to say, although these two languages have the same properties of phonology, morphology and syntax -and even sometimes the same vocabulary-, different kinds of mistakes are done by students while learning Turkish as a foreign language. Students, as the participants of workshop, are the students who learn Turkish as a foreign language in Turkish Language Education, Application and Research Centre of Kırklareli University. Mistakes done by students in written language will be identified and classified, and then solutions will be suggested via a comparative study of vocabulary, grammar, phonology, morphology, syntax of these two languages, namely Turkish and Turcoman.
