Systematically organized and taught foreign languages in Iran are Arabic, French and English. Although French is taught in schools as a foreign language in a very short period, the teaching of Western languages and Arabic language policies has different purposes like French. Keeping in the forefront of Islamic standards, political authorities desire that Arabic should be basic foreign language or a second language. According to them, budget allocation for the teaching of languages such as English, French, Italian and German is nothing but a waste of resources. In western languages teaching (especially English), the only reason can be considered that Englishspeaking generations can serve Anti-American purposes. Nevertheless, Iranian officials think that English is a language that must be learned in order to follow the innovations in the world of science and to show itself in the international arena in the planning of foreign language. In Iran, however, in the face of teaching English as a foreign language from period to period, changes in the attitudes of managers, sometimes against the spread of the English language appearing in the views cannot be denied.

For this purpose, the author has chosen one of the most prominent poems, “Santa Maria della Salute”, written by the famous poet, Laza Kostić. By using the contrastive approach, the author, who is at the same time the translator of this poem into the English language, has endeavoured to give a new insight into the area of translation and semantics. Many examples of metaphor and metonymy will be compared and thoroughly analyzed in order to determine their similarities and differences in both languages. This also represents an attempt to outline the basic components and universality in metaphor. The conceptual metaphors are considered to be largely or mostly universal, more universal than either language or social reality. This paper deals with cultural variation in metaphor, especially its cross-cultural dimension. A general-level conceptual metaphor is, according to Kövecses (2006: 158), instantiated in culture-specific ways at a specific level. Many of our metaphors vary because our experiences as human beings also vary. On the other hand, our metaphors vary, because the cognitive processes we put to use for the creation of abstract thought may also vary. Another important factor for the use of metaphor is the context around us. It includes the physical environment, cultural context and also, communicative situation. All the culturally unique concepts and values that characterize cultures, including the governing principles and the key concepts, make the cultural context broader. For this reason, it was very difficult for the translator to transfer the Kostić’s metaphors adequately into the English language. As much skilled as the translator may be, he or she would certainly come up to certain cultural obstacles which are contained within culture-specific terms. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

However, it is hard to say that any language belongs to only one group, since none of them is one pure variant. According to Edward Sapir (2000), it has already been observed that one language runs to tight-knit synthesis where another contents itself with a more analytic, piece-meal handling of its elements, or that in one language syntactic relations appear pure which in another are combined with certain other notions that have something concrete about them. Even though there are many researches with regard to similarities and differences between five major types of languages, only a few of them are trying to discover if type of language can influence second language learning abilities. The major aim of this paper is to analyse whether the type of native language influence second language aquisition, especially in situation when second language belongs to other group. Statistical learning approach, as well as evolutionary approach are used in order to explain the major aim. Also, cognitive theories of learning are applied to explain mechanisms that can hinder learning and acquisition. It is concluded that different structure of five groups of languages can influence language acquisition when learning language that belongs to group other than native language. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They need more instruction and practice in sociolinguistic and pragmatic competence. Therefore the syllabi for business English courses at the tertiary level of education need to be revised and adjusted to the changing needs of students – future employees of global companies operating in a highly competitive business environment. The aim of the paper is to present these needs, assess and discuss the results of a research study into students’ self assessment of their competence and to give some recommendations on teaching the pragmatics of language use. Pragmatic competence is considered to be even more important now than ever before yet business English courses seem to offer very limited, if any, instruction on the most important pragmatic skills. Firstly, the paper gives examples of typical business situations in which pragmatic competence matters a lot, then it discusses the results of a study into students’ self assessment of their pragmatic competence, and finally it discusses the rationale of teaching pragmatic competence and suggests the ways of teaching it in business English courses at universities. It is hoped that the paper will contribute to increased awareness of the importance of teaching and learning the pragmatic skills in business English courses for adults. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Pragmatic competence is considered to be even more important now than ever before yet business English courses seem to offer very limited, if any, instruction on the most important pragmatic skills. Firstly, the paper gives examples of typical business situations in which pragmatic competence matters a lot, then it discusses the results of a study into students’ self assessment of their pragmatic competence, and finally it discusses the rationale of teaching pragmatic competence and suggests the ways of teaching it in business English courses at universities. It is hoped that the paper will contribute to increased awareness of the importance of teaching and learning the pragmatic skills in business English courses for adults.

There are prescribed rules about the use of language and there are exceptions to these rules which cannot be found in grammar books. As language changes from one minute into another, so do the rules it is governed by. Such is the case of English nouns. English plural invariable nouns which according to the grammar rules can only have plural form also have their singular forms existing in English and they have different meaning from their plural form. This paper addresses this teaching and learning challenge raising awareness of the nouns which change their meaning when they are used in their singular form. The methodology used in the paper is giving the necessary theoretical background and semantic analysis of the example nouns. The results of the analysis show that there is a considerable number of English plural invariable nouns which change meaning in the process of number alteration and therefore represent potential problems for speakers of English language. This paper presents a number of the nouns which undergo such changes and explains the difference in meaning. As such it helps us to identify nouns from this group and helps speakers to avoid possible problems of their misunderstanding. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

According to Kussmaul (1995: 5), there are two approaches in teaching translation, product-oriented and process-oriented ones. The product-oriented approach includes error analysis and translation quality assessment. Errors are first described, then the reasons for them are found and finally the solutions are given to prevent them. However, error analysis must be taken with precautions. Making errors must be seen as a way of productive way of making students aware of all the obstacles that they may face while doing translation. This paper deals with the analysis of students' errors (those frequent and less frequent ones) and their transformation into knowledge necessary for successful and meaningful translation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
