There are a number of studies on vocabulary acquisition related to receptive and productive vocabulary. For example, some researchers have looked at the receptive or productive vocabulary size while other researchers have looked at whether receptive knowledge is gained before productive knowledge. However, no investigation has looked specifically at the relationship between proficiency level and the rate of receptive and productive vocabulary acquisition, in conjunction with an examination of materials and instruction. In this paper, I presented the effect of proficiency level on the rate of vocabulary acquisition, taking into account learners’ receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge. The purpose of the study is to explore the rate of vocabulary acquisition of the beginner and elementary students in a Turkish EFL context, investigate the role of materials and instruction in the vocabulary acquisition, and examine the relationship between learners’ proficiency levels and rate of vocabulary acquisition. In this study, two groups of ESL students with different proficiency levels were given experience tests. The same tests were given twice throughout their foreign language education process to estimate their receptive and productive vocabulary development. The gain scores among groups from the two tests were compared to see their development of receptive and productive vocabulary size taking into account their proficiency levels. The participant teachers were interviewed in order to reveal their handling with vocabulary during their courses. The materials were analyzed in terms of the number of vocabulary activities and activity types in order to find out what vocabulary exposure students had. It is thought that the result of the study may be of benefit to classroom teachers, in helping them to choose an appropriate vocabulary teaching strategy for helping their students to acquire receptive and productive vocabularies. Teachers may develop their curriculum, materials and strategies to increase students’ receptive or productive vocabulary and to help them turn their receptive vocabulary knowledge into productive use in speaking and writing courses � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In practice the method consists of several stages, the central of which represents intonation reading against appropriate musical background. Unconscious or not fully conscious psychical activity linked to the concept of “concert pseudopassivity” is critical at that stage. There have been a number of studies conducted in Georgia with the use of this method. This paper is a modest attempt to contribute to this relatively new and exciting field of pedagogy. The author conceived to conduct the experiment, while using the 20 century music during the phase of concert pseudopassivity. It should be mentioned that suggestopaedia generally uses classical music to create the concert pseudopassivity. The author, however, experimented with two genres of the 20th century: blues and jazz. Thus, the experiment was broken down into two parts. In the first part, the author aimed at investigating whether applying blues poetry as means for intonation reading, combined with the blues music as an audio-mirror of the read verse, influences the degree of acquisition of the vocabulary at the advanced level. The (first part of) experiment conducted showed positive result which allows of further investigation in the area. In the second part of the experiment, the author conducted twelve academic sessions, of which eight (8) went on using traditional way of teaching vocabulary, and four (4) were done with the elements of suggestopaedia, with the use of jazz music. The experiment has proven that with the use of suggestopaedia the academic outcome of the students increased by 20%, which can definitely be qualified as methodological success, which can be used as an auxiliary tool in the course of teaching. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To fulfill this objective, 130 sophomore and junior students majoring in English Translation who had passed at least 45 credits at two Iranian universities were asked to take part in a piloted PET reading comprehension test and a questionnaire on learner autonomy (Spratt, Humphreys, & Chan, 2002). After discarding incomplete answer sheets, 106 acceptable cases (82 female and 24 male) were used in statistical analysis. Regarding the correlation analysis of data, a statistically significant relationship was not found between autonomy and reading comprehension. This outcome was analytically interpreted with respect to the perception that, although autonomy may ultimately lead to greater proficiency of EFL language learners (Benson ,2001; Corno & Mandinach ,1983; Dafei ,2007; Zhang & Li ,2004), when the relationship is considered between autonomy and reading comprehension in particular, a significant correlation is not established. Based on the findings of this study, pedagogical implications were presented for EFL teachers and syllabus designers. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Marijana Sivric University of Mostar/ Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina Key words: taboo, swearing, gender, identity, equality ABSTRACT According to McEnery (2005) swearing is the use of any word or phrase that is likely to cause offence when used in polite conversation. Trudgill (2000) sees swearing as a part of taboo language, which is something supernaturally forbidden or regarded as immoral or improper. Jay, in his numerous studies (1980-2006), distinguishes several categories of taboo language: obscenities, vulgarisms, curses, expletives, profanities, confirming their presence and use in almost all languages. There has been widespread research into swearing within many disciplines such as linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, sexuality, education, sociology, women’s studies, just to name a few. However, one of the most intriguing aspects of the sociolinguistics of swearing is the correlation between swearing and the gender of speakers, because it is strongly tied to gender roles and expectations in society. As ‘women’s language’ is usually considered polite, cooperative, powerless and lady talk, swearing is seen as aggressive and masculine and women who swear are immediately characterized as violating gender norms, which is directly connected to gender identity. Being fully aware of strong swearing frequency among women today, we would like to pay attention to the following questions: When do young people swear? How is their swearing context-based? What is the difference between male and female swearing? Does the use of swear words impact the deconstruction of lady’s identity? An analysis of swearing can offer a deeper insight into social relations among young people today, particularly those referring to gender issues. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Croatia follows the trend of the development of multilingualism and has taken meaningful steps within the framework of preparation for entering the European Union. One of the most important steps is adopting the National Curriculum for Preschool Education, General Compulsory and Secondary School Education, which is a fundamental document that sets values, goals and principles of education, including the principles of multilingualism and multiculturalism. In this paper, curricula for teaching foreign languages in lower grades of elementary schools in Croatia, Germany, the UK and the USA are compared and analysed. Since Croatian educational theory and practice has traditionally been largely influenced by those from the German-speaking area, the paper gives a comparison of the foreign language curriculum in elementary schools in Croatia with the experimental foreign language curriculum of the North Rhine – Westphalia federal state. In order to obtain a more comprehensive picture these results are then compared with foreign language curricula in the UK and in California. The objectives, content and strategies of individual curriculum, with particular emphasis on intercultural competence in lower grades, are analysed. The results confirm the importance of early foreign language learning, as well as raising awareness of students’ own culture and the acceptance of diversity; it can be concluded that curricula which focuses on student achievement and competences is necessary for life in a modern society of rapid changes and global development. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The analyses presented in this paper were inspired by the collection of sevdalinkas from the Anthology of Bosniak Oral Lyric Poetry. The analyses have been conducted on the phonological-phonetic, morphological, syntactic, and semantic level. The elicited stylomes have been classified according to a set of criteria and with the aim of elaborating their value and function in the sevdalinka. The main features of the sevdalinka are its folk elements – it is raised by people, and lives with them. Therefore, it is expected that the sevdalinka genuinely reflects the ambience of its people – not only spiritual, material, or social, but also the linguistic one. The language of the sevdalinka is a folk language, viz. the language of the period in which it was emerging. However, observed from a contemporary linguistic perspective, this language is an archaic expression embedding highly valuable stylistic features. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
