Unknowns of Cultural Symbols: Research on Cultural Symbols and Social Belongings
Get PDFCultural symbols make it easier for people to express themselves non-verbally and to feel that they belong to a society. In addition, cultural symbols can mean different things from person to person, even if they are lived in the same society. On the other hand, these symbols may vary in meaning as a result of the context in which people use the symbols, and to transfer a culture from generation to generation. Cultural symbols constitute the smallest level and oldest core of culture, which serves to internalize unity, belonging and reconciliation (Nazlı, 2018). It is known that Anatolian stories/narratives, which have been told from ancient times to the present, contain information bearing the truth about the past by describing supernatural events, beings, and changes. So much so that it is considered as one of the factors that affect the formation of culture and form the identity of the nation (Bulduk, 2016). Although we do not know where they actually come from and what meanings they have, the symbols that exist in our culture play a big role in making us feel like we belong to our own culture.departmental bulletin pape
Course on United Nations as English for Specific Purpose
Get PDFWhile the UN values promotion of multilingualism, English remains to be the
main global common language of communication at the UN Headquarters and
throughout the network of the UN organizations around the world. If one aspires
to become an international civil servant to work at a UN organization, having the
English proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and listening is a must. This
paper describes an approach to teaching pragmatic language and communication
skills useful for a career at an UN organization with broader applicability to other
types of international career. At the same time, such instruction of the language
usage is integrated into the study of sustainable development in the context of the
United Nations, which is a crucial point in the so-called English for Specific
Purposes (ESP) according to Rahman (2015). The instructor tries to illustrate
different ways in which English is used at the United Nations and how a non-native
can acquire the necessary skills while learning the substantive issues. In the context
of the course on QPPI523 entitled “United Nations and Sustainable Development”,
the assignments given to students resemble the actual tasks given to junior-level
professionals at the UN Secretariat and sometimes in the field offices. This article
explains the type of learning-by-doing, similar to on-the-job training that the
students will benefit from.departmental bulletin pape
