(Not just) a question of style: new literacies and visual authenticity in online test design.
No full textThis article discusses a research project set up to explore the possibility of creating an online screening test for\ud
European students intending to take English-taught courses at home or abroad. The focus is on the impact that\ud
Information and Communications Technology has on all areas of social, professional and academic life, with reference\ud
to the effects of ICT on language testing and, in particular, on the needs and expectations of the digitally literate\ud
potential test takers. The rapid evolution of increasingly sophisticated computer hardware, software and developments\ud
in Web 2.0 has been accompanied by a change in the concept of literacy. In a context of social media, informationsharing\ud
and user-centred design, the ability to retrieve and process information requires new and multiple literacies.\ud
The important question of the visual and navigational authenticity of the test tasks is also discussed as it is directly\ud
connected with the concept of multiliteracies
The Lexis of Foreign Trade
No full textIl progetto di analisi lessicale descritto nell’articolo si è svolto presso il Centro Linguistico Interfacoltà dell’Università di Venezia come fase preliminare nella creazione del “Treviso Certificate of Foreign Trade”. La necessità di individuare le aree di lessico specifico per chi studia o opera nell’ambito del commercio con l’estero ha portato alla compilazione e analisi di due corpora ad hoc e alla creazione di una word list come riferimento lessicale per gli autori del Treviso Certificate. L’articolo inizia con un overview del lessico specializzato e corpus-based word lists. La parte finale focalizza in dettaglio le procedure adottate nelle varie fasi della compilazione della word list

The Bologna Process: A Cause for Celebration?
No full textThe Bologna Declaration, which set in motion what is now known
as the Bologna Process, marked a sea change in higher education systems throughout Europe. The work carried out within the highly structured framework of the Process led to the launch, in 2010, of the European Higher Education Area, i.e. one step closer to the creation of a “Europe of knowledge”. While the presence of the EHEA may be considered a cause for celebration, can the same be said of other aspects of the Bologna Process as
so many of its member countries struggle to implement educational reform in times of grave financial uncertainty
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
