The Attitude of Medical Practitioners towards the Use of Nigerian Languages in Interaction With Their Patients
Get PDFThe importance of language in healthcare context and communication has been the driving force behind the increasing interest of linguistic scholars in medical discourse. The need for patient-centred medical interaction has led to the call for the adoption of the language of the patient in medical interaction. However, it is not enough for healthcare givers to speak the language of patients; the right terminology should be made available to both the practitioner and the client. The present study evaluates the attitude of medical practitioners towards the use of Nigerian languages in interaction with their patients, with a view to determining their willingness to use such languages (given that their training was largely in English) and their level of support for the ongoing effort at standardising medical terminology in Nigeria’s indigenous languages for the purposes of facilitating discourse in such languages. Findings from key informant interviews indicate the willingness of health professionals to promote medical discourse in their local languages, given that the effectiveness of provider-patient communication relies on the client’s satisfaction
La Défamiliarization du « Choix des thèmes » dans le Théâtre de l’absurde: à l’exemple de La Cantatrice chauve d’Eugène Ionesco
Get PDF« La défamiliarization dans le choix des thèmes » dans les œuvres à l’exemple de La Cantatrice chauve d’Eugène Ionesco est sa démarche artistique unique.

Cette défamiliarization n’est pas destinée à la simple nouveauté, mais à creuser profondément dans l’absurdité et le néant de l’existence humaine. Il frappe les modèles cognitifs traditionnels et suscite une profonde réflexion sur la réalité, l’humanité et la société. De cette façon, Ioneco élargit le champ de la représentation de l’art littéraire, donnant aux œuvres un charme intellectuel et une valeur artistique plus durables

Apart from the nation’s large population and rich culture, the country is blessed with natural resources such as rich farm land, petroleum, coal, limestone, gold, zink amongst many others. It is equally arguable that Nigeria is one of the developing nations of the world that have been struggling with developmental and economic challenges such as poor infrastructures, poverty and unemployment leading to existence of social and violent conflicts in the country.

L’exposé comme tâche d’évaluation dans le cours de production orale et ses enjeux
Get PDFLes apprenants chinois de français rencontrent généralement des difficultés significatives dans le développement de leurs compétences orales. Ces difficultés sont en grande partie attribuables à leurs habitudes d’apprentissage, ainsi qu’à une certaine timidité et/ou passivité. Même lorsqu’ils sont immergés dans la langue et la culture françaises, ces obstacles persistent. Nous avons observé un groupe d’étudiants chinois qui éprouve des difficultés à s’intégrer dans les cours de la faculté et qui suit parallèlement un cursus d’accompagnement en langue française au sein d’un centre international d’études françaises. L’approche adoptée par l’enseignant G. pour faire face à un groupe peu expressif dans son cours de production orale a retenu notre attention. En utilisant l’exposé comme tâche d’évaluation, l’enseignant vise non seulement à répondre aux besoins universitaires des étudiants, mais également à atteindre les objectifs pédagogiques de son cours de production orale. Par ailleurs, cette méthode stimule la motivation des apprenants chinois. Notre étude s’intéresse également aux dispositifs mis en place pour garantir le bon déroulement de la tâche, ainsi qu’au dilemme rencontré par l’enseignant G. dans sa tentative de développer la spontanéité d’expression chez ces étudiants
Translation Ethics in the Subtitle Translation of Chang’an

With a focus on ethics of representation and communication as the main theoretical foundations, the paper analyzes how the subtitle translation of Chang’an embodies these two types of translation ethics. The analysis reveals that the translator employed methods such as literal translation, free translation, as well as domestication and foreignization strategies to fulfill these translation responsibilities. Additionally, the paper offers several suggestions for improvement and recommendations regarding the subtitle translation of this film
