The School of Accountancy, University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, has encouraged instructors to use programs for teaching, such as Microsoft Excel, SAP, Express, ACL and Yahoo Group to enable students to appropriately and effectively apply technology in accounting. The School of Accountancy also encourages the inclusion of English Language in class, and to have exercises in English for students to try.

Multiliteracies, Technology and EnglishLanguage Teaching and Learning
No full textMultiliteracies refers to skills and strategies that go beyond being able to read and write. Multiliteracies can help learners and teachers understand that literacy is dynamic in nature. This understanding allows for critical and strategic thinking, and the development of metacognitive skills. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to highlight the role of multiliteracies in English language teaching, since the information and communication technologies are changing the face of education. This article provides crucial information and critical updates for those aiming to understand the development of multiliteracies. The author argues for a move from the traditional print-based approach of learning towards pedagogical practice that includes print, nonprint, visual and digital materials. In particular, this article focuses on the importance of multiliteracies in English classrooms and discusses the roles of teachers in terms of the knowledge and skills needed to prepare students for active participation in today's world. This article then presents recent studies that have dealt with integrating multiliteracies and provides common themes emerging from those studies. Finally, the author concludes with recommendations for teachers on literacy, technology, and multiliteracies issues
Interesting Issues Relating to the Succession inLien of the Heirs Disinherited by the de cujusbefore the Death of the de cujus and theSuccession in Lien of the Heirs Excluded fromthe Succession after the Death of the de cujus
No full textWhen a person dies, his estate devolves on the heirs by statutory rights, called çstatutoryheirsé, or on the heirs who are entitled by will, called çlegateesé, as the case may be. Butif such heirs behave in an unworthy way vis-a-vis the de cujus, by being excluded from the succession under two circumstances,i.e. exclusion from the succession for having diverted or concealed the property or forunworthy behaviors vis-a$-vis the de cujus. The exclusion from the succession could occurboth before and after the death of the de cujus. If the exclusion from the successionoccurs before the death of the de cujus, there are provisions of the law that entitle thesuccession in lien of such heirs by the çdescendenté of the excluded heirs. But if theexclusion from the succession occurs after the death of the de cujus, the çdescendentéof the excluded heirs could also succeed by their right of succession in lien of theexcluded heirs. In the view of the author, there could be a problem of interpretation ofthe law if it is asserted that the çdescendenté of the excluded heirs could succeed bytheir right of succession in lien of the excluded heirs
