Others, old and new: Revisiting otherness in Shakespeare and Rushdie
Get PDFThe concept of otherness has become a cliché in the literature of post-colonial studies. But who falls into this category and how is it represented by two seemingly far-away writers like Shakespeare and Rushdie? The aim of this paper is to provide an introduction to the multifaceted aspects of the concept as represented by the two above-mentioned writers and their respective works The Merchant of Venice and Othello on the one hand and The Satanic Verses on the other with a main focus on the foreigner/immigrant
Teaching stylistics through E. E. Cummings poetry
Get PDFTeaching stylistics is both enchanting and challenging. Many students come to stylistics having studied English and American literature, but it demands a very different set of skills. Analyzing a text stylistically is unlike doing a 'literary' analysis, as it needs to be much more objective and rooted in fact. The main aim of a stylistics analysis is to explain how the literary structure of a text creates the feelings and responses that we get when we read it.
I have chosen E. E Cummings poetry since it is considered as interesting as tricky at the same time. One of the most important stylistics techniques used there is foregrounding and, moreover internal foregrounding. Foregrounding refers to a form of textual patterning which is motivated specifically for literary-aesthetic purposes. The aim of this paper is to introduce a model of a stylistics analysis as already being discussed with the students who I teach stylistics. We will focus on the results we reached by the use of the interesting techniques of foregrounding and inner foregroundin
MANAGEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON DRENAS
Get PDFMentor: Prof. Asoc. Dr. Fetah REÇICAKosovo after the war in the years 98, 99 is faced with many challenges, where one of them is the management of educational institutions in Kosovo.
Rapid developments and global dimensions in the field of education, science and technology are directly related to the teaching process, in particular by improving and increasing the quality in this very important process. Meanwhile achievement of these objectives in educational institutions is closely related to the professional management of educational institutions.
State institutions, experts, teachers, parents, organizations and various professional associations of education, community, civil society, etc., have concentrated their professional commitment to contribute in forms and different ways in the preparation of a management capable and responsive for management of the educational institutions towards the realization of the aims of the relevant institution, its employees and society in general.
There are numerous researches, studied and developed multiple strategies, organizing meetings, seminars and conferences, scientific, guidance documents, manuals and numerous books have been published for teaching and the role of teachers and the students in this process with importance for the education of human society.
Man from the first steps of his development has had the profession of teaching. Parents and leaders of the first primitive society groups have implemented methods and techniques to teach children and young people to survey, to shot, to protect, to attack, to withdrawal and different work of interest to the group.
During the historical development of the human being, of nearly 50,000 years onwards, methodologies, techniques, materials and extremely precious experiences has been developed to dispose today a treasure, a large estate, which are being exploited in the application of different institutions management.
On the other hand, the development of scientific opinion of management theory occurs much later, from the 20s and 30s of the last century. It can be said that the management of educational institutions has started much earlier, with the opening of the first schools in the prehistoric ancient China and for the way of management differs to some extent from the management of business organizations or the states' administration. However, the process of teaching by teachers it can compare with the management of the manufacturing process in a factory or a business company.
Taking into consideration that management is increasingly taking the dimension of a universal science, general principles and experiences of management in industry and in various business organizations begin to apply even in educational institutions. In different countries of the world institutes and academies are opened for the education and training or training of managers and administrative staff in the administration of educational institutions to successfully manage the very complex teaching and learning process and the easier achievement of their objectives.
The establishment of academic and professional institutions for the education and training of managers of educational institutions has led many to raise the quality of work and the achievement of learning outcomes in general.
Management of education institutions in Kosovo is in very bad condition. Educational institutions managed by teachers who are unprepared in theoretical and pragmatic management of an educational institution. They do not know the concepts and basic principles of management. In the same situation are also other administrative workers.
If the success of an organization depends on its manager, then why does the success of a school not depend on the management skills of a director or educational institution rector. Then how is it possible that the management of an organization or company business, dealing with production of physical or administrative services, to engage experts to prepare, either in theoretical as well as in practice, while for the management of an education institution that has to do with building the mental, emotional and psycho-physical parts of human, engage teachers who are not prepared for the management of the educational institution.
The main witness in this area is very poor success and consequently the level of education and the practical skills of people who completed their education in educational institutions in Kosovo are relatively very low, excluding individual cases. Not paying attention to this very important component from the education policymakers earlier and facing the problems of this nature in our work during the management of the education system in Kosovo inspired us to treat this very important topic for the development of education and to all this development areas of life in Kosovo.
Taking into account the importance of education in society, we can say that there is no economic, cultural, scientific and technological development without quality education and there is no quality education without professional management of educational institutions.
For this to happen, they should state institutions of the Republic of Kosovo to put in priority the establishment of the Academy of Educational Administration of Kosovo or a similar institution, in which managers, directors and administrators of educational institutions of Kosovo will be educated and skilled in the future
The Use of Equivalency and Translatability as Cognitive Tool in Correct Teaching and Learning English Idioms
Get PDFTranslation can be a very useful and helpful tool to the teachers and students who teach/learn idioms by opening the doors to better teaching and learning strategies.Moreover it is seen as an important part of learning process when dealing with idioms which are considered to be an extremely important integral of learning a language through learning the culture of a nation.Since not much research has been done about translation as teaching methodology or as an aid tool for correct teaching and learning English vs. Albanian idioms, this paper aims to analyze how helpful is translation and equivalence finding of idioms to enhance teaching and learning them. In other words, this presentation is the overview of the most frequently used translation strategies in idiom translation as an importance to manage teaching English idioms and to ease learning English idioms as well as representing some useful activities for teachers how to easy teach English idioms.
Since, the examination and classification of strategies to translate idioms are as useful and helpful as examination and classification of strategies to teach them,teachers/instructors before getting in front of students and fill in their head with idioms, should first learn enough about the functions of idioms, the source of idiom and the equivalence in the target language to get prepared to explain that before their students.
Thus for, this paper/presentation shall also give explanations on how to avoid incorrect teaching, through recommendations that more effort should be put on translation as cognitive tool
On some passions of autistic children: compensating functional language with technology (a semiotic prospective)
Get PDFThe present paper shall attempt to describe, analyze and elaborate some of the communicational deficits of the children with Autism Disorders Spectrum Syndrome (ASD), seen from the semiotic viewpoint. The focus shall be on the visual capacities, [such as described in: (Grandin, 2008)] of the children with Autism, as well as on their ability to compensate their brain dysfunctionalities through technology. In the mentioned context, semiotics should attempt at disclosing the meaning of their “own world”, to the extent of rendering it passionate. I shall intend by “passions” the repetitive requests, complaints, their emotionality etc., as intermediated by other tools (and/or media), that can be exemplified as one of the ways of “reducing” their sensory-motor deficits. In conclusion, the semiotics of passions, such as described by Greimas and Fontanille(1993) shall attempt deducing semantic units which are applicable for such children’s own “intended physiological context of behavior”. The results of “actions” performed by such individuals shall represent their own way of establishing a meta-communicative process. The deduced semantic units in terms of such children’s behavior are changeable, therefore an object to intersubjective processes of transformation
