The study examines the importance of the students’ own language competence in pronunciation in comparison with that of their teachers’. For this paper, 53 first year undergraduate students have filled out a 5-scalle questionnaire expressing their beliefs about student and teacher pronunciation in comparison to other competences like grammatical knowledge and teaching skills. Additionally 20 of them have been involved in recorded individual interviews. The oral interview provided insight into their opinions about their own and the teachers’ pronunciation as well as the progress made in the pronunciation course they have completed Phonetics and Phonology in their first semester. This course has the aim to raise their awareness of proper pronunciation by introducing, practicing and testing them on segmental and suprasegmental features like: transcription, stress patterns, intonation among others. The analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data showed constancy in the answers and attitudes of the students towards their own and their teachers’ pronunciation. The data showed that the students had high expectations of their teachers in term of pronunciation. This study also tests whether the high regard for proper student and teacher pronunciation correlates with their Phonetics and Phonology final course grade. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

First of all, the theme should be created and presented in a foreign language, which includes all language competencies, starting with the vocabulary specific for a certain topic, grammar structures and spelling in the first stage of preparing the presentation. Another important component is a theme of the presentation which is always a topic related to culture and civilisation of English-speaking countries, with the aim of gaining knowledge of their culture, history, geography, art, noting the similarities and differences compared to their own country, acceptance of the customs and tradition of different nationalities, with the aim of developing mutual tolerance and formation of a young person for the intercultural society of the future. Furthermore, the knowledge on how to make and structure the presentation slides is also required, and everything should be done in a way attractive for the audience, in this specific case it is the fellow students to whom the topic is presented. The final step in the whole process is student's verbal presentation in a foreign languge, which will finally consolidate all previous steps and requires loud oral articulation of words and sentences in a foreign language. Whereas on the one hand there is a presenter, on the other hand there is audience, i.e. students who listen to the presentation and actively participate in it by not only listening but also asking questions and final peer evaluation of the topic presented. The fact that the evaluation of the presentation contributes to the final grade also shows how important such a teaching method is. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

ABSTRACT Research on the relationship between subtitling and second language acquisition has focused, for so long, on the question of whether or not watching inter-lingual subtitling of films, TV series, etc. would actually develop one’s language. Not much attention has been paid to the fact of using inter-lingual subtitling as a pedagogical tool in itself. Inter-lingual subtitling as a form of translation can enhance various second language learners’ skills’. By exposure to spoken language, printed texts, visual effects and cultural contexts, inter-lingual subtitling develops learners’ listening skills, writing competencies, linguistic awareness and cultural knowledge. The purpose of the present study is to present a successful pedagogical experiment that involves a number of undergraduate Egyptian students who have studied inter-lingual subtitling (from English to Arabic and Arabic to English) for 3 successive semesters. The study will describe the steps they have undergone during each semester, highlighting problems they have met; the technical problems include spatial limitations, display-time regulations and continuous monitoring of output; semantic issues are translating idiomatic expressions, understanding different dialects, and accents, interpreting cultural allusions and understanding coined words; structural problems address tenses, word order and punctuation; finally, cultural hindrances involve hoe translating certain ideas can completely contradict with students’ beliefs. Also presented will be means by which the above problems have been overcome, the language skills students have acquired, and finally, their overall evaluation of the process. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

B. Yeats’ Postmodern Apocalyptic View Soolmaz Mohammadshahi & Mohammad Exir Iran Language Institute (ILI), Bushehr Branch/Bushehr, Iran Key words: W. B. Yeats, deconstruction, postmodernism, apocalyptic ABSTRACT Postmodernism, a rather vague term, escapes any centralized framework attempting to define it. This might be the reason Derrida denied the attachment of any isms to his theories which construct one of the mainstream critical foundations of any postmodernist reading. In other words, defining certain techniques and frameworks to include or exclude a literary work into/from a defined postmodernist context is a flaw which questions the very foundations of postmodernism itself. Postmodernism might better be called a vogue, a stream, even an era rather than a specific movement, not an era ascribed to the post-world war period only, but to any era which goes beyond the accepted norms and conventions of the dominant discourse of its own time. In this regard, W.B. Yeats had a post modern apocalyptic vision which prophesied the upcoming of an age in which “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; /Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.” Generally agreed, the antinomies in Yeats's poetry turns out to be reconciliation between the old hostilities of the good/bad, soul/flesh, etc., which attempts to arrive at a unity holding both parts. Yeats’s juxtaposing rather than reconciling the old vs. new ideas is a postmodern attitude. In this way, we might call Yeats as a poet who not only prophesied the coming of the postmodern era, but also a precursor of postmodernity in his verse as well as his apocalyptic work, A Vision.

Observation is a powerful tool for assessing and monitoring a teacher’s progress. However, observation and giving feedback are very complex skills, which need training and practice. This hands-on, workshop-style session aims at all EFL teachers and teacher trainers, but also of great use to supervisors in different countries with an interest in improving the quality of supervision. The session will begin with a 10- minute introduction during which the presenter will explain the session format and provide the explanation of the roles of teacher supervision, characteristics of supervisor, models of teacher supervision, approaches to language teacher supervision, advantages and disadvantages of observation, and supervisory styles. Following the introduction, the participants will be provided with different proformas to use and what to do before, during and after the observation. In the course of the workshop, worksheets with different activities will be distributed among the participants and they are asked to work on the activities in pairs/groups. This workshop is designed to be a participatory and exploratory experience for participating English instructors and teachers. Similarly, it is hoped that the interactive nature of the workshop will create opportunities for meeting likeminded colleagues, exchanging information, and networking, sharing resources and strategies, and building the capacity for effective reading instruction. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
