Motivational Changes And Their Affecting Factors Among Students From Different Cultural Backgrounds, Masanori Matsumoto
Motivational Changes And Their Affecting Factors Among Students From Different Cultural Backgrounds, Masanori Matsumoto
Masanori Matsumoto
University students (N = 140) learning second or foreign languages in Australia were investigated to find whether their learning experience in a 12-week course changes their motivational intensity and their perceptions of classroom factors affecting their motivation. The study also attempted to detect any differences among the students from four different cultural/regional backgrounds; Europe & North America, North East Asia including China, Taiwan, Korea & Japan, Australia & New Zealand, and the rest. Questionnaire surveys were conducted twice, at the beginning and the end of the courses on the students learning English, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese to observe how …

Continental Philosophy In Britain And America, Babette Babich
Continental Philosophy In Britain And America, Babette Babich
Babette Babich
Continental, or as it is sometimes called, contemporary European philosophy represents a range of approaches to academic philosophy distinguished from the analytic modality dominating professional or institutional philosophy in the United Kingdom and in the United States, as in Australia, Canada, and Ireland. Where the analytic tradition itself may be said to trace its own roots to Europe, e.g., positivism may be traced to France and its originator August Comte, and logical empiricism to Germany and to Austria and the writings of Gottlob Frege and Ludwig Wittgenstein and the members of the Vienna Circle, continental philosophy expresses an ideological tradition …
Beyond Dogma: The Role Of "Evolutionary" Science And The "Embodiment" Of Archetypal Energies, Carroy U. Ferguson
Beyond Dogma: The Role Of "Evolutionary" Science And The "Embodiment" Of Archetypal Energies, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
At individual and collective levels (locally, nationally, and globally), humanity is currently entertaining many challenges and opportunities for growth. In my view, these challenges and opportunities are connected to Energy shifts that are taking place on the planet, and the inability of some to move beyond dogma in relating to these Energy shifts. By its pre- and proscriptive nature, dogma fosters limiting beliefs that often interfere with how best to relate to these Energy shifts as vibrational beings in an evolving, vibrational world. Here, I want to briefly identify some of the limiting effects of dogma, and the role of …
Cross-Cultural Training: The Importance Of Investing In People, Sabina Cerimagic, Jim Smith
Cross-Cultural Training: The Importance Of Investing In People, Sabina Cerimagic, Jim Smith
Jim Smith
Major international companies have established themselves in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) market by setting up their regional headquarters in Dubai. These international companies want to be in a growing market in a country where their companies are recognised and affiliated with a positive image. In addition, many companies have moved to the UAE for financial reasons as well. The UAE is an expanding regional market with the potential for future growth. However, there are cultural differences between Australia (and western countries generally) and the UAE (Middle Eastern). It is easy to have genuine and honest misunderstandings and, hence, it …
Eva Rossmann’S Mystery Novel «Russen Kommen» The Russians Are Coming: New Crimes, Old Fears, And Intercultural Alliances, Heike Henderson
Eva Rossmann’S Mystery Novel «Russen Kommen» The Russians Are Coming: New Crimes, Old Fears, And Intercultural Alliances, Heike Henderson
Heike Henderson
Eva Rossmann's mystery novel Russen kommen, the tenth in a popular series, takes up a hot topic in Austria’s tourism industry: the tensions surrounding the recent influx of newly rich Russian visitors. This article uses Rossmann's mystery as a case study to examine the impact of global culture and transnational investments on Austrian society. Trapped between provincialism and globalization, Austrians are forced to revisit old fears and find new ways of dealing with contemporary challenges. Due to its wide appeal, popular culture can lead the way in these negotiations.
“He Loves Drinking Old Wine From The Jug”: Some Remarks On Alcoholic Beverages In Syriac Literature Based On Secular And Religious Texts, Adam C. Mccollum
“He Loves Drinking Old Wine From The Jug”: Some Remarks On Alcoholic Beverages In Syriac Literature Based On Secular And Religious Texts, Adam C. Mccollum
Adam C McCollum
The history of alcoholic beverages in various cultures, including our own, has often been written. These investigations have looked at viticulture, brewing, distillation, and the economic and religious uses and effects of alcoholic beverages. Syriac literature, being somewhat of an arcane area of interest, has rarely—if ever!—entered into any of the discussions. It is, nevertheless, a corpus with a breadth wide both in size and subject matter, and there is no dearth of references to alcoholic beverages, their preparation, and use. This paper, based on both secular and religious texts in Syriac, most of them composed in a Muslim-majority culture, …

The Impact Of Recordings On Student Achievement In Critical Language Courses, Elizabeth C. Scheyder
The Impact Of Recordings On Student Achievement In Critical Language Courses, Elizabeth C. Scheyder
Elizabeth C Scheyder
This study investigates the relationship between the use of classroom recordings and student achievement in critical foreign languages. Recording classrooms has become popular in recent years with the advent of digital media and inexpensive devices to play such files. It is now easy to create audio recordings of face-to-face classes and post them online. To date, however, there has been little empirical study of the role that these recordings play in students' achievement.
The study involved instructors who were each teaching two identical sections of a Chinese course, and asked them to use a portable audio recorder to capture all …
日本における通訳者養成に関する一考察(On Interpreter Training In Japan), Kayoko Takeda
日本における通訳者養成に関する一考察(On Interpreter Training In Japan), Kayoko Takeda
Kayoko Takeda 武田珂代子
Interpreter training in Japan is markedly distinct in where and for whom the training is conducted. While interpreting programs in a number of Western and Asian countries are mainly offered for carefully selected students in higher education, for-profit schools operated by interpreting agencies, which may not be as selective in admitting students, are the main providers of interpreter training in Japan. This paper explores historical, social and cultural factors that may have shaped these different institutional foundations for interpreter training in Japan and other parts of the world, with the aim of providing information and analysis that can be used …
