                <text>The purpose of this study is to determine the difficulties that English Teachers have while being inspected and declare the perceptions and reflections of English teachers on the inspectional results. Participants of the study were 15 English teachers in Sakarya, Turkey. The research was carried out using qualitative research methods. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The data were analyzed by the content analysis method and the findings of the study were reported descriptively in a systematic manner. As a result of the study, the most common problems that English teachers encounter are -none-English speaking inspectors, -inspection of the documents related to language teaching processes, -inspection during class time and inspection during teaching and -other minor problems. According to the results of the study, some suggestions were made towards the inspection of English teachers. </text>

                <text>The market has put on the surface the need of establishing tests which will be used for assessing proficiency in English needed for different purposes, e. g. further education or employment. There are many standardized high stakes assessment tests available on the market, the most popular being TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, TSE, CELS, OPI and SIOP. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, most of the tests used for this type of assessment have been made individually either by institutions (usually private language schools) or teachers themselves, with claims of having fulfilled the CEFR standards in total when designing the tests.   In an effort to shed light of the present status of high stakes assessment, a small-scale research has been made in order to establish whether any detailed insight into the problem is needed at all. A test used in a privately owned institution has been taken as a specimen for the purpose of this study and looked into in detail. The analysis has had its focus on issues of validity, reliability and washback effect of the test itself, as well as on the impact of the test on instruction and student attitudes. Furthermore, some additional considerations, such as whether the test covers what it claims to measure and the very aspects of English language proficiency the test does not cover, have also been discussed.   What is obvious from the research is the fact that though there still exists a huge discrepancy between some aspects of high stakes assessment in general and needs of the present day market, there has been a substantial progress made as far as balancing approach to interpreting and using test data for the benefits of all the sides involved in the process in concerned.</text>

                <text>Gülmeyi, mizahtan ayıran unsurlardan biri, hatta en önemlisi, gülmenin bir refleks olduğu düşüncesidir. Mizah, gülmeyi sağlayan birçok malzemeden biri olmaktadır. Onun içinde gülünçlük vardır. Mizahın ne olduğu üzerinde araştırmalar yapan bilim adamları ve filozoflar, gülmenin sanatlı şeklinin mizah olduğu sonucuna varmışlardır. Mizah toplumsal bir olgu olmakla beraber her ulusun kendine özgü bir mizah anlayışı vardır. Bu farklılığın nedeni toplumların farklı kültür yapılarına sahip olmalarıdır. Bir Fransız’ın veya bir Hintlinin, Japon veya Türk mizahından aynı oranda etkilenmesini düşünmek zordur. Sözlü kültürde yaşayan mizah türlerini başka bir dile çevirdiğimizde etkisini büyük ölçüde kaybettiğini görürüz. Bunun sebebi mizahın aynı zamanda milli bir yapıya sahip olmasıdır. Tabi buradan, hiçbir mizah ürünü başka bir dile tercüme edilemez, anlamını tamamen yitirir, gibi bir sonuç da çıkmamalıdır.</text>

                <text>Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad ‘V.S. Naipaul’ is one of the most popular postcolonial authors of the contemporary world. V.S Naipaul is an Indo-Trinidadian British Writer that focuses on the idea of British Empire’s Colonialism. He mentions about colonial and postcolonial life in his studies. He has won many awards such as Nobel Prize for Literature (2001), David Cohen Prize (1993), The Booker Prize (1971), etc. V.S Naipaul has published many books of fiction, non-fiction studies. V.S Naipaul’s fiction and non-fiction studies have been emphasized by a committing to truth that illustrating the brightness and intelligence. V.S. Naipaul points out an extensive  experience that we think, see, feel and look. That’s why Naipaul provides readers ‘to look and to look, to re-look and re-think.’  V.S Naipaul’s fiction and non-fiction studies pretend as an argument and a critique towards the other writers. A Writer’s People: Ways of Looking and Feeling is a non-fiction book written by V.S Naipaul. In this book, Naipaul discusses with the writers such as Derek Walcott, Gustave Flaubert, Mahatma Gandhi, Anthony Powell, Polybius, Virgil, Trinidadian Writer Sam Selvon and Naipaul’s father, Seepersad. This book includes the title such as The Worm in the Bud, An English Way of Looking, Looking and Not Seeing: The Indian Way, about Mahatma Gandhi and related with these writers.  In this essay, we will mention why V.S Naipaul’s writings and essays generate controversy between writers and are criticized so much by other writers. Additionally, we will focus on his philosophy and his view as a postcolonial writer from former British colony with western culture and his own style and explain why V.S Naipaul is differentiated by other writers. It will deal with social, cultural and political issues by considering A Writer’s People: Ways of Looking and Feeling.</text>

                <text>The status of English as a lingua franca (ELF) has been accepted as an increasingly popular debate in Applied Linguistics and current English language teaching (ELT). A major body of research in the study of ELF has concentrated on the consequences of native speaker norms in respect to ELT. It has been suggested that native speaker norms of English have been losing relative importance in international academic fields. Despite the increasing research interest in ELF focusing on non-native speakers and their use of English, there has been little empirical investigation into the perceptions of both native and non-native English speaking teachers of English about ELF. On the other hand, the students in non-English speaking countries are learning English to be able to communicate with other native or non-native English speakers in both intra and international contexts. In other words, they need to be taught ELF. Thus, the main goal of the teachers has to prepare them to function appropriately in these contexts. This necessity reminds the role and importance of ELF in English language teacher education programs. Therefore, the present study investigated two significant aspects related to ELF. First, the perceptions of native and non-native speaking teachers of English about ELF were investigated. As a second objective, the perceptions of the same group of teachers regarding the role and importance of ELF in English language teacher education were examined. The participants consisted of 100 non-native, 30 native speaking teachers of English working at two respective universities in Istanbul. The data came from a background questionnaire, a questionnaire regarding the perceptions of English language teachers developed by the researchers and semi-structured interviews.</text>

Abstract
Several organizations are looking for a way how to manage the overall job performance of
their employees, regardless of where the "working age" they are. Learning and competence
development, along with management skills is noticeable development, therefore, that
organizations want to maximize the capacity of its staff, and with them the skills that the new
business conditions become necessary. In the process management capabilities and potentials
occupy a key role in content management systems learning (LMS). One capability that users
LMS never had this kind should be developed. In this way, the organization gained greater
success using his own internal resources.
Keywords: Business LMS, e-Learning, LCMS, Virtual Classroom, CMS.
1.INTRODUCTION
Learning Management System (LMS) is a key application in the model of e-Learning.
Includes a set of features designed for the "delivery", monitoring, reporting and
administration of learning content, student progress, and interaction of students and mentors
and students together. Serious e-Learning system cannot be imagined without the complex
software. LMS can be used in a very simple system, and the highly complex enterprise-wide
distributed environments, such as public administration, large companies and the like. LMS is
software for managing learning events organized, including online, virtual classroom.
The focus of LMS is to manage employees, track their progress and performance in all types
of training. Learning and competence development, along with management skills is a
noticeable development in addition to education there is a niche, therefore, that organizations
want to maximize the capacity of its staff, and with them the skills that the new business
conditions become necessary. One capability that users LMS never had this kind should be
developed. In this way, the organization gained greater success using his own inner resources
[1]. Learning Management System (LMS) is software that allows you to fully administer the
global learning process of employees of enterprises. Some research has found that 60% of
current LMS, with monitoring of the achievements of its users, and 38% giving timely
feedback and have a plan to boost performance.

LMS for registration of employees, enables the courses in the catalog of courses, description
of data on employment, and enables reporting on completed. In addition, LMS is typically
designed to be operated courses that deliver different publishers and providers of services.
LMS is usually not included in its configuration authoring tools for creating educational
content. LMS system manufacturers typically offer additional tools to create content that is
flexible for employees or teams. Reuse a wide course (one course can be delivered to
multiple employees, the monitoring of achievements).

AND

Learning Content Management System is a system for creating, storing, preparation and
delivery of e-Learning content in the form of learning objects. Search new LCMS and
compared to the LMS (least according to SCORM-in) is a Automated Authoring Application
and applications for automated authoring process. This application automates authoring
(content creation process) introducing authors with templates and storyboarding capabilities
that include the principles of instructional design. Using these templates, authors can develop
a whole course on the basis of the existing buildings in the repository, creating new facilities
or a combination of both principles. Content management system learning (LCMS) enables
management of creating, storing, using and re-using content for learning within a firm or
organization. Content learning is structured in the form of particles of knowledge - learning
objects or learning objects [4].
Structure LCMS system may be viewed as an upgrade structure LMS systems, which add a
content management system (CMS - Content Management System) and re-usable learning
objects (RLO - Reusable Learning Objects). The term originated from the CMS on-line
publishing industry, where such systems enable the creation and administration of various
content (articles, reports, pictures, banners and the like) [5].
The CMS system article is entirely made up of a number of particles of knowledge, called
content component, whose level is guaranteed, and reuse. One and the same component may
be involved in numerous articles and it can be read by many readers. If you bring it in
connection with the work, then we talk about re-usable learning objects, which can figurate
content in different domain knowledge and can be delivered to different students.

CMS is a software for effective creation, development and content management web site in
internet, intranet and extranet use variants. It is designed for large numbers of business users
to efficiently and managing web content as a way of presenting the entire business firms and
business activities on the Internet.
Characteristics of CMS in a business environment:

Better information and communication between business functions and staff CMS is used as an Internet information portal for employees in the company. Applied
in this way provides a comprehensive and timely information of employees and the
ability to transfer information to the clients of the company.
Each employee can participate in creating and updating the site - CMS allows the
inclusion of "ordinary users' computers to develop and update the site with no
previous training to work with specialized tools. In particular it is important that
marketing personnel and other sectors of the company without hiring professionals
such as web designers and developers the content, create and modify hand, real and
connects the menus and links etc.. In addition to users, LINK CMS is available to help
system (Help).
(Only) quality control - CMS allows the user at any time to have an insight into the
condition of the structural and functional checks of all the connections. In this way,
the user shall establish the correctness of its procedures and controls the quality of
entered element. CMS allows the creation of material for later publication on the
network with the previous review of the author, and responsible person.

Integration with databases and Office applications - basically a CMS is reliable
and financially viable MySQL database that provides great benefits for the entry, use
and organization of stored materials. Content created in some of the Office
applications in a simple way of being integrated into the content of the website which
is operated by CMS.

It is important that these systems can be applied in a very simple system, and the highly
complex enterprise-wide distributed environments, such as public administration, large
companies and the like [3].
3.BUSINESS LMS
LMS in the future should be the basic business applications in large companies (the so-called
Trade LMS) in order to increase worker efficiency, facilitate the decision making and
automation of work processes. These LMS's need to manage knowledge and competences
and cooperation employees. Cooperation employees is established through virtual
conferences, forums, chat rooms, blogs. Business LMS should provide career management, to
be of assistance in employment, to manage the WBT and CBT in the companies.
Workplace paid attention to education and training at a time, in fact in the work environment.
In the context in which to improve workforce skills and competency for rapid change in the
labor market and business, e-learning has proven to be very popular as an effective solution
[2]. The main beneficiaries of the ICT sector now meet 60% of its needs in training for
teaching e-learning. This form of training has the advantage of organizations that cannot bear
the cost and waste of time for training in the classroom. Further efforts are needed to small
organizations understand, plan and use e-learning in line with their requirements and needs.

LMS integration with ERP and CRM. ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system that
enables the integration of engineering, customer service, planning, manufacturing, finance,
human resources through a single facility or multiple locations. CRM (Customer Relationship
Management) system that helps manage customer relationship [1].
Grouping (integration) of organizations that use the same LMS, brings many benefits in
implementing the education of its participants. This is particularly reflected in lower total cost
of training, the time to create competence and provides a consistency of delivery activities
encompassed the needs of education. What is the LMS needs to become usable in integrated
systems is the necessity of moving on to more advanced levels, in fact LCMS (Learning
Content Management System), a system where much attention is given to patterning and
evolution of educational content, taking the principles of instructional design. According to
the data 60% of current LMS and LCMS has a function.
4.APPLICATION OF VIRTUAL CLASSROOM IN ENTERPRISES
Virtual classrooms make it possible to develop and enrich the entire range of generic skills,
users such as:





group work and team work (so as to define roles in teams, solve critical problems
and discuss the team). Virtual classrooms have a separate "rooms" where users can
meet and work on solving the tasks set them.
problem solving and consideration of various solutions for solutions through
discussion that takes place in the group. In the group may consider different ideas for
solving the problem and try different strategies to solve,
communication skills - asking questions and giving answers, the fact that users are
required to take a stand in certain situations, to agree or to express their disagreement,
to explain his position,
effective use of new technologies - users get used to new technologies used in
different activities.

Usually includes live audio and video communication among employees. Participants
use the microphone and headphones (headsets) and communicate with your voice.
There are many free tools that can be used for the virtual classroom.
They can include joint panel to display text and drawing sketches. Lecturer and
participants can work together to search the Web ling and joint visits to sites.
The employer may exchange files with users. Users can join and transfer images from
a Web camera when the network capacity to provide. There is a possibility that the
presentation include guests from abroad, which is a very good way to include experts
in the field. May include "Break out" rooms, the environments in which small groups
can work together.
Sessions can be archived and remember to be reviewed later. These technologies are
increasingly integrated into the LMS systems (for example Blackboard, Moodle or
Janisons) or CMS systems.

5.M-LEARNING IN ENTERPRISES AND SOCIAL NETWORKING
The future of e-learning, m-learning (mobile learning) - learning anytime and anywhere.
Thoughts on learning through mobile, wireless internet and so on. The future of education
lies in portable devices, primarily mobile phones, iPods, PDAs and laptop computers. In the
near future, e-learning systems will be integrated into mobile technologies such as mobile
phones, handheld scanners, tablet PCs, Kindle, IPAD and devices that no longer exist. In the
long run, e-Learning System (LMS), will be integrated in almost all electronic devices and
machines [6].
Social networking increase in virtual social interaction on a global scale, is increasingly
growing, creating a space in which to share information, knowledge and experience. The
newly created space is often the target of testing needs, opinions and ways of organizing as in
other sectors, as well as organizing training. Social cooperation is becoming an indispensable
way of gathering and management's LMS, where the learning experience, knowledge and a
variety of valuable information placed in the lap of social interaction.

Figure 4: World-Wide Social Networking Users
The newly arrived participants in this form of communication, very quickly learn from their
domesticated counterparts, a new generation growing up in this virtual social environment.
What is the big problem is, what is expected of the LMS and what is expected from the only
form of social learning, which is present in social networking. In social learning, learning is
largely informal character.
The challenge is to design (design) LMS, which significantly by using social interaction
through collaborative learning, learning, provides a formal sense. For now, many of the
existing LMS is not a satisfactory level of use of Web 2.0 technologies. Some numerical
indicators of the situation with existing LMS products are 42% let index, 20% use blogs, 17%
of a wiki page.
Strategy for social e-education include:
1. Co-authorship - Users use Web tools to generate and edit together some content.
2. Collaboration in problem solving and collaborative research - Users work
together to find solutions to target problems and select strategies to access the
following tasks. Social software tools enable users to easily communicate in order to
cooperate, be it in textual form or in direct conversation.
3. Tacit knowledge sharing with others - through communication, cooperation in the
project, through research and conversations users have the opportunity to share their
opinions with others and to participate in adopting common conclusions. Social,
networks also allow users to express their specific views, to challenge their opinions
and others to participate in building a common attitude and reach consensus.
4. Monitoring-employed, professionals, experts and experienced users can involve the
social network in occasionally as an instructor who will guide users in the learning
process.
326

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

All these software will, as more time is devoted to adoption, as well as simplification of
administrative and user interfaces, lead to an increase in simultaneous amateurism (level of
knowledge management systems and content creation) and widespread use in all areas of
education (school education institutions and in enterprises) as in the domain business since
learning can easily be replaced with the term "information" or "relationships with clients."
The future will be different for everyone ranging from hairdressing shops for dogs, medical
clinics... until of course, an organization that has to do with learning, as delivered by each
individual contribution and use for themselves.
6.CONCLUSION
We can conclude that the appearance of more powerful portable communications devices,
resulting in the need for future LMS aims to accessibility, independent of the dominant or
pre-defined platform for access to educational content and educational activities. The
increasing spread of virtual social interaction, gets a significant role in creating applications
that are supported by the LMS. In social interaction, consumers are increasingly sharing
resources for learning, as well as their ideas and opinions through discussions, presentations,
blogs, comments, tools for this purpose...
In this way, learning moves from the corporate model to the global, and therefore the
organization LMS need the same adjustment. Accordingly, we conclude that any existing
LMS needs to be developed and improved.
Flexibility and adaptability LMS individual and social community, whether real or virtual,
individually or through collaborative learning, accompanied by educational standards, is one
of the main objectives which aims LMS future. Accessible to large repositories of learning
objects, monitoring of standards for the creation of compatible content an increase of
structural, as opposed to instructional content, forcing non linear ways of learning, follow-up
of new IT is the default.

Abstract
Digital video watermarking is one of the solutions for copyright protection of digital
multimedia data and draws great attention of both researchers and digital video owners. In
this work, a new hybrid digital video watermarking method which uses the discrete cosine
transform (DCT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed. Each frame is processed
with one of the DCT and DWT methods or a combination of them, half of a frame by the
DCT method and the other half by the DWT method. Selection of the watermarking for each
frame in the video is determined randomly. The proposed method has undergone several
attacks in order to check its robustness and compare to the DCT and DWT methods. The
proposed hybrid method including a watermarking diversity throughout the video improves
robustness against attacks.

Akdeniz University, Turkey
Abstract
This study analyzes the effects of mentorship applications on the success of enterprises. Field
work is carried to in the 5-star hotels who are active during 12 months in the Manavgat
region of Antalya (Turkey). The study is supported by 260 hotel personnel and 250
personnel responded. The study tries to find out if there is a relation between the application
of mentorship in the enterprises and issues such as value given to the employees, increase of
information exchange within the firm, enrichment of relations between the personnel,
development of career provided, performance and efficiency increase of the employees.
Keywords: Mentorship, Firm Success, Tourism, Hotel.
1.INTRODUCTION
Mentorship is not only to share the characteristics embedded in the person; it is something to
aid people to improve and show how to get them. In the business life, the mentorship is so
important especially for the new employees. It helps them to get know the company. It is also
a tool to transfer the knowledge and skills of the organization to the people who mark out for
a brilliant future.
The aim of this study is to search the affects of mentorship applications for the business
performance.
2.Background
Values and Institutional culture. Main topics in the agenda of the managers and the owners
are related to increase the revenue and the profit, to develop new ideas, to create high
performance teams and to reduce the risks. In order to reach these goals they are taking many
initiatives and applying new methods such as reengineering, paying high salary and bonuses,
having different training and providing external motivation. On the other hand, the least
focused but probably the most effective one is creating “institutional culture”. It can be
defined as rules, criteria and judges which are not written. It is a value system which defines
the way of thinking of employees and the managers. The concept of institutional culture can
also act as a moral plaster that gather the people in the organizations. Appropriate
institutional culture supports in getting the goals of the organization through ensuring a
platform for the employees to lend their soul to their work. By doing this, the employees
behave as patriot and brave soldiers who they believe the war they are in not as ladrone.
Institutional culture occurs firstly with the respectful behavior of managers to their
subordinates, the relationship between the people, support and solidarity, company values,
shared things and other elements. On the other hand, to increase the institutional culture to
75

the right level and to manage and to develop it in a continual manner is a matter of expertise
which is not merely known nowadays. It is, therefore, needed for many institutions to get
consultancy services. If we believe that the factor behind the successful company is the
environment where the people add something and balance their business and private life in a
good way, we have to take this subject into our agenda not as a luxury but a necessity.
Communication is the transfer of information or knowledge from one person to another. It is
vital for human beings to express themselves as social being. It is a process of knowledge
production, transfer and perception.
Knowledge and experience transfer are two topics important for the institutional culture
literature. There are different people in the organizations with different past, knowledge,
world view, mental structure and the motivation. Knowledge cannot be piled without
gathering the implicit knowledge of these people which are the most valuable treasury of the
organization. To share the implicit knowledge, a common space is needed. Common space
refers to the conceptual combination of physical, virtual and mental spaces which facilitate
the required activities for knowledge creation process and sharings to happen. The works in
the common space should be as far as productive and comphrensive. Knowledge oriented
organizations requires to develop and apply business culture strategy (Güçlü, Sotirofski,
2006).
Career development, on the other hand, has been one of the main topics in nowadays business
environment because of the change of the relation between organization and employee,
organization structure and the expectations of the employees. Management approaches like
downsizing, outsourcing, total quality management, people-oriented management, change
management, learning organization which are all result of the globalization have led the
concept of career to change. To invest in employees and to improve their skills will provide
competitive advantage in the global business environment.
Performance and Productivity. Performance management is a new subject. The performance
of an organization is the output at the end of a period or outcomes of the activities. These
outcomes can be regarded as the rate of reaching the goals determined by the organization.
For companies, it is possible to have some goals (profitability, productivity, efficiency etc.).
Productivity is related to the inputs and outputs and it refers what extent to the organization
uses its resources. It is the main part of performance (Yükçü and Atağan, 2009).
Mentor and Mentee . Mentorship is arbitrary or professional, one to one relationship which
aims to support and encourage the person (Özkalp vd., 2006: 55). Daresh (2004) sees the
mentorship as a process of personal improvement. It is a process that is conducted under the
supervision of such people who has guiding, protecting and leading skills. Mentor is the one
who holds such characteristics. Gettys (2007), on the other hand, states that the mentorship is
a mutual cooperative process and experienced mentor guide his/her student to improve
his/her knowledge and skills (Gettys, 2007: 7-8).
Two concepts need to be mentioned here: Mentor and mentee. Mentor is a supervisor and
guides the person to help him/her to develop his/her career through supporting, teaching and
listening. The term “mentor” is used to define a person who shares his/her expertise and
knowledge with other people. Mentee or protegé’ is the one who benefits the mentorship
service.

4. DISCUSSION
Today’s competitive environment requires the companies to have the qualified human
resources as the most important capital. It is no surprising to see the employee satisfaction to
be in the agenda of the companies. One way of increasing the satisfaction level and abilities
of employees and improving the professional skills is the mentorship implementations in the
organization.
We need from time to time somebody to consult who will share his/her expertise and guide
us. Mentorship provides this through transferring the experiences of senior people to less
experienced people in the organization.
The success of mentorship program in the organization depends on analyzing the need
carefully and assign the right person as mentor to the mentee. It is also important to get
feedback continually from both mentor and mentee from the beginning of the program in
order to revise the content of the program in time. Mentorship programs are not compulsory
programs. Mentors and mentees should meet periodically and have improvement focused
conversation. Working on projects can also be influential for the effectiveness of the
program.
Well designed mentorship programs add value to the institution, mentor and mentee.
Mentorship programs;
Helps the organization values to be espoused by the employees,
Helps to transfer the institutional knowledge form one generation to another in the
organization and facilitate the adaption of new comers
Helps mentees to work with the mentors in a one to one learning relationship which can aid
the employees in their career development
Helps mentors to feel the pleasure of preparing the future leaders
According to the result of the study, the organizations implementing mentorship benefit from
these programs in different ways. The employees feel themselves as valuable for the
