Codenames For Language Courses, Jeffrey Nolan Mcculley, Chloe Bennett Mar 2026

Codenames For Language Courses, Jeffrey Nolan Mcculley, Chloe Bennett

UTA Libraries Staff Publications - Archive

In this lesson, students deepen their proficiency in the target language by designing and implementing a foreign-language edition of the game Codenames. Drawing on their understanding of vocabulary, semantics, and cultural nuance, students adapt game components and rules to account for language-specific challenges such as word ambiguity, cognates, homophones, and idiomatic meaning. Through collaborative gameplay, students actively apply linguistic knowledge in a communicative, problem-solving context that emphasizes precision and strategic language use. The lesson promotes critical thinking, intercultural competence, and authentic language practice while reinforcing vocabulary acquisition and comprehension in an engaging, student-centered format.


The Mercy Of Saint Seraphim By Ivan Shmelyov: An Original English Translation, Nina Tarpley May 2024

The Mercy Of Saint Seraphim By Ivan Shmelyov: An Original English Translation, Nina Tarpley

2024 Spring Honors Capstone Projects - Archive

The Russian writer Ivan Shmelyov (1872-1950) is acclaimed not only in Russia, but also widely throughout Europe for his novels, short stories, and fairytales written with a marked depth of meaning, beauty, and expression. He wrote and published throughout his entire life ~ from the pre-revolutionary years in Russia, into the years of the Revolution, and eventually as an émigré in Europe. Although Shmelyov is celebrated throughout Russia and Europe both in academic and public circles, he is little known to the American people, and English-speaking peoples. In academic circles, scholarship on Shmelyov in the English language is extremely limited. …

José Emilio Pacheco En El Imaginario De La Poesía Mexicana Reciente: Ética De Escritura Y Política De Lectura, Ignacio Ruiz-Perez Jan 2018

José Emilio Pacheco En El Imaginario De La Poesía Mexicana Reciente: Ética De Escritura Y Política De Lectura, Ignacio Ruiz-Perez

Modern Languages Faculty Publications - Archive

El objetivo de este artículo es demostrar que parte del legado de José Emilio Pacheco en la poesía mexicana reciente consiste en diversas estrategias discursivas (dicción espuria, cuestionamiento de la autoridad textual, subjetividad descentrada, entre otros) en concordancia con un país continuamente en crisis. Es decir, en la poesía de Pacheco se puede ya ubicar un código de lectura y una política de escritura que convierte el texto en un espacio de reflexión y de resistencia. Mi propuesta en este ensayo, en definitiva, es que el sistema poético de la última lírica mexicana responde a los retos políticos y sociales …

Deseables E Indeseables: El Doble Discurso De Género En Las Representaciones De Conversos En Las Cantigas De Santa María, Robert Michael Philips

Modern Languages Theses - Archive

Con la victoria de los reinos cristianos ibéricos sobre las fuerzas almohades en las Navas de Tolosa en 1212, los cristianos tomaron control de la mayor parte de la Península Ibérica. Para consolidar su control sobre el territorio, los reinos cristianos tuvieron que instalar familias cristianas y lidiar con las poblaciones musulmanas y judías que quedaron. La política acerca de estas poblaciones no-cristianas vacilaba entre tres opciones: la tolerancia, la expulsión y la conversión. Alfonso X, El Sabio nació diez años después de la victoria en las Navas de Tolosa y fue coronado en 1252. Heredó no solo los terrenos, …

El Eros Y Sus Representaciones: Del Modernismo Al Posmodernismo, Alicia Rueda Acedo Dec 2014

El Eros Y Sus Representaciones: Del Modernismo Al Posmodernismo, Alicia Rueda Acedo

Modern Languages Faculty Publications - Archive

In this paper I explore eroticism as a key element in the evolution from modernismo to posmodernismo. If eroticism is a crucial component to understand the binary concept of the world and the universe present in modernist poetry, postmodernist poets distance themselves from this outlook towards a “critic system”. In order to explore this shift, I analyze the works of postmodernist poets such as Baldomero Fernández Moreno, Ramón López Velarde and Regino E. Boti, and vanguardist poet Nicanor Parra, comparing their writing to Rubén Darío’s. I emphasize the evolution from Darío’s conception of the universe where women play an integral …

Duality And The Problem Of Moral Self-Awareness In Dostoevsky's Dvoinik (The Double), Lonny Harrison Jan 2008

Duality And The Problem Of Moral Self-Awareness In Dostoevsky's Dvoinik (The Double), Lonny Harrison

Modern Languages Faculty Publications - Archive

This dissertation investigates the problem of duality as it relates to the moral situation of the protagonist of F. M. Dostoevsky's novella Dvoinik (The Double, 1846). Bearing the cultural and literary heritage as well as contemporary social realities of mid-nineteenth century Russia steadily in mind, I analyse the duality motif in Dvoinik in terms of the protagonist's self-consciousness [samosoznanie] and moral perceptions. In particular, the moral ideas that underpin his self-definitions are products of what I refer to as moral selfawareness. In the course of my analysis, I interrogate the modulations of moral reasoning in the mind of the protagonist …
