Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the development of the First Language Maintenance and Development (FLMD) program in South Australia. This program is the main language policy activity that specifically focuses on language maintenance in government primary schools and has existed since 1986. During this time, the program has evolved largely as the result of ad hoc changes, often resulting from decisions made outside the immediate scope of language maintenance provisions. The program was initially introduced as a general reform of language education in primary schools but eventually became a program focused specifically on language maintenance. The paper traces the ways that ad hoc changes have shaped the program, and how these have shaped the program over time. As a result of these changes over time, first language maintenance has moved from being an integrated focus within core language policy to being a peripheral language policy activity. As a result, although the FLMD represents an aspect of South Australia’s language policy, it does not have either a clear position within that policy nor does it have a clearly developed focus of its own.

Full textAbstract:
This quasi-experimental study was designed to investigate the effects of corrective feedback on SLA/EFL to determine the potential benefits of two different corrective feedback techniques, namely recasts and elicitation. The research hypotheses were: 1) Learners who are exposed to interactive focused task that requires CR will benefit more than those who are exposed to communicative activities only; 2) Elicitation will be more effective than recasts in leading to L2 development; Three intensive EFL classes in a language center in Songkhla province, Thailand were selected to participate in the study. Based on the study design, two class were assigned to the treatment conditions elicitation group and recasts group and the third was used as a control group. The treatment took place over a period of 9 meetings focusing on teaching third person singular –s morpheme and the provision of CF where it was necessary. The participants' knowledge of the intended syntantic point was tested before treatment and post tested after receiving the treatment. A multiple choice and focused-cloze reading grammar test was used in the pre-test and the post-test to evaluate the effects of the treatments on the learners' acquisition of third person singular morpheme. This classroom-based study showed that the two treatment groups benefited from CF strategies, but according to the study, elicitation group outperformed the recast one.

Full textAbstract:
Development, and thus language development takes place at many interacting timescales, ranging from the milliseconds of lexical retrieval to pragmatic development at the scale of the life span. Different factors play a role in development at different time scales and even the same factor may play out differently at different time scales. Motivation in language learning may impact on long term intentions like a successful career, but also on short term motives like passing an examination. Such motivational drives interact, leading to a complex non-linear trajectory over time. There is hardly any research that looks at the same developmental process at different time scales and much of the research on second language development needs to be reconsidered on the basis of these insights.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores, from within the social constructivist paradigm and drawing on data from twenty-one semi-structured interviews with international postgraduate university students approaching the end of a one-year full-time taught Masters degree in the UK, the range of language development brokers that have had an impact on these students’ trajectory from language learner to language user. Students from a range of first language backgrounds contributed insights about key people, outside formal language teaching contexts, who supported and resourced their language development. While existing research has tended to focus on formal language instruction settings, this article puts forward insights to inform the fine tuning of language development provision in English-medium instruction (EMI) contexts outside traditional language classrooms, and to contribute to EMI students’ academic and professional success.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the problem of building an individual trajectory of methodical self-development of a teacher is due to the change of reference points in the training and certification of teachers. The article presents an analysis of the category "methodological training" of a foreign language teacher from the point of view of both the process and the result. As a result of the analysis of psychological and pedagogical, methodological literature and comparison of essential characteristics of the desired category, the authors revealed that the teacher's methodological competence is a complex multi-faceted set of psychological, pedagogical and linguistic components. The content of the components of methodological training includes knowledge of modern approaches and technologies of training, knowledge about the essence and main characteristics of the learning process, the availability of skills and abilities of effective organization of the learning process, as well as personal and professional qualities of the teacher AND staff.
On the basis of comparative analysis of requirements of the FSES IN teacher education and Professional standards articulate a set of knowledge, skills, and labor actions, constitute the essence of the methodical training of teachers of a foreign language and to determine the specific tasks of professional self-development and improvement of the teacher. The identified knowledge, skills and labor actions will allow you to design an individual program in accordance with the predicted difficulties and complications in your professional activity.

Full textAbstract:
In the past two decades, the field of language and masculinities studies has become an established part of language, gender, and sexuality research, growing in response to concerns about the limited criticality directed toward men and masculinities in sociolinguistics. In doing so, the field has added to the conceptual and theoretical tool kit of sociolinguistics, furthering both our understanding of the linguistic strategies used by men in a variety of contexts and the myriad links connecting language and the social performance of gender. This review surveys the historical trajectory of scholarship broadly concerned with men, masculinities, and language and charts its development from more critical work on men and masculinities within sociology to its emergence as an independent field of inquiry. I outline some of the key contributions this body of work has made to sociolinguistic theory, methodology, and knowledge and suggest some future research directions through which the field may engage with contemporary social issues.

In our time, the written language is undergoing significant changes, which is associated with the emergence of new technology, equipped with special tools for remote communication. With the help of gadgets, you can send a message at any time without making any efforts, however, this communication format is increasingly reflected in the structure of the statements themselves: they are becoming shorter and more capacious in content, while regulatory requirements, as a rule, are not observed. With the emergence of the sphere of Internet communications we began to observe the transformation of the main types of communication: the boundaries between written and oral forms are increasingly blurred, which is especially clearly seen in the analysis of messages in blogs, chat rooms, on forums when discussing any legislative or regulatory acts. Internet communication is becoming a new form of perception of the general picture of the world, the language game predetermines the trajectory of changing the consciousness of Internet users. In order to identify problem areas in this area, a sociological study was carried out, the results of which are presented in the table.

Full textAbstract:
Synchronization of oscillations among brain areas is understood to mediate network communication supporting cognition, perception, and language. How task-dependent synchronization during word production develops throughout childhood and adolescence, as well as how such network coherence is related to the development of language abilities, remains poorly understood. To address this, we recorded magnetoencephalography while 73 participants aged 4–18 years performed a verb generation task. Atlas-guided source reconstruction was performed, and phase synchronization among regions was calculated. Task-dependent increases in synchronization were observed in the theta, alpha, and beta frequency ranges, and network synchronization differences were observed between age groups. Task-dependent synchronization was strongest in the theta band, as were differences between age groups. Network topologies were calculated for brain regions associated with verb generation and were significantly associated with both age and language abilities. These findings establish the maturational trajectory of network synchronization underlying expressive language abilities throughout childhood and adolescence and provide the first evidence for an association between large-scale neurophysiological network synchronization and individual differences in the development of language abilities.

Full textAbstract:
There is increasing consensus that to understand developmental disorders we must apply developmental theoretical models and methodologies. To develop a fully specified developmental model of a developmental disorder we must understand both the nature of the innate causal processing deficits of the disorder and also how these deficits in early processing mechanisms then change the developmental process. This study aimed to examine the second of these issues with respect to Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and so describe the altered trajectory of development in this group of children. Explanatory models which propose hypothetical trajectories of development from impaired processing mechanisms in the infant to the patterns of linguistic impairments typically found in SLI are beginning to be developed. To date however there is very little empirical research which maps these trajectories. This study sought to contribute to that necessary empirical data and so to our understanding of the development of SLI. In addition it aimed to consider whether the application of a developmental methodology and perspective adds to our understanding of this disorder. A series of longitudinal case studies of children with SLI were completed. The participants were seen for four blocks of comprehensive assessment of language processing, language knowledge and "language relevant" processing over a 15 month time period. Cross sectional data from 38 typically developing (TD) children was also collected for comparison purposes. The data presented represents a part of this larger study and focuses on the development of the lexicon in SLI. Lexical and phonological processing and their interaction with phonological working memory capacity are thought to be crucial to the ontogeny of SLI. A series of tasks were developed to create a window into the nature of the developing lexicon. Data is presented from a novel non-word repetition task which manipulated the phonological characteristics of the stimuli and from a fast-mapping task where both phonological and lexical variables were manipulated. The influence of these factors on performance and changes in their influence across development were examined. Analysis of the trajectory of development of the two measures in TD children showed evidence of increasing abstraction of sub-lexical/phonological knowledge from lexical knowledge across development. In addition the developmental trajectory of fast mapping abilities demonstrated a significant and radical shift in processing bias across the age range. This result suggests that functional reorganisation in the developing lexicon, and hence the speech processing mechanism, may be taking place and which may occur as a result of increasing sub-lexical/phonological abstraction. The developmental trajectories of the children with SLI suggest that this group of children develop a different lexical processing architecture from typically developing children which does not reach the levels of efficiency of TD children's speech processing mechanisms. There is tentative support for a deficit in schema abstraction across the lexicon and an absence of functional reorganisation. The possibility that these results represent entrenchment within a self-organising network, and the possible relationship to issues of timing and critical periods is discussed. In addition it appears that compensatory strategies for this inefficient speech processing architecture may result in impaired semantic learning and so may have effects on the wider trajectory of atypical language development in SLI. Applying a developmental emergent perspective to SLI and so considering trajectories of development rather than static group comparisons can begin to uncover the nature of change within an interactive system and the nature of interdependence of processing mechanisms across development. Such an approach holds promise for revealing the nature of SLI and providing a more ecologically valid explanation of this complex disorder. The implications of developmental emergent conceptualisations of language impairment for research methodologies, diagnosis and therapy are discussed.

Farhat, Dolores. "Developmental Patterns of Responding to Joint Attention in Infants Prenatally Cocaine Exposed and Predictions to Language." Scholarly Repository, 2008. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/oa_theses/166.
Full textAbstract:
The current study examined the development of responding to joint attention (RJA), a prelinguistic skill, in a sample of children prenatally cocaine exposed. The sample used was part of a larger population of children randomly assigned to three levels of intervention. The growth of RJA in the current sample was best characterized by two linear growth groups determined by a semi-parametric growth modeling program. Each trajectory group was differentially associated with three language outcomes. Gender, treatment group, and birthweight were three risk factors that influenced the likelihood of belonging to either growth cluster. RJA?s predictive significance in terms of concurrent and subsequent language was also established, accounting for the variance associated with contemporaneous measures of cognition. The findings (regarding the relationship between RJA and language) were consistent with previous research examining joint attention behaviors in other types of samples. Additionally, this study contributed uniquely to the body of research on joint attention by exploring the growth of RJA, a precursor of language, in a sample of children at risk for language impairment.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de recherche s’inscrit dans le domaine de la phonétique clinique et relève plus particulièrement de l’intelligibilité de la parole d’enfants sourds implantés cochléaires et d’enfants normo-entendants. L’intérêt de cette thèse réside dans la comparaison des productions d’enfants sourds implantés cochléaires et d’enfants normo-entendants, appariés en âge chronologique. Nous analysons des paramètres segmentaux et suprasegmentaux en production, tels que les voyelles du français standard et les consonnes fricatives /f, s, ʃ/, l’étude du débit de parole, l’intelligibilité de mots monosyllabiques auprès d’auditeurs naïfs, ou encore l’intelligibilité de la parole semi-spontanée. Nous nous intéressons également à la façon dont les productions des enfants implantés cochléaires sont perçues par un jury d’auditeurs naïfs (n=10 ; moyenne d’âge 37 ans). Le but premier de ce travail est de mettre en avant les différences ou similitudes majeures entre nos deux groupes en fonction de l’âge chronologique des enfants mais également en fonction du recul à l’implant, du suivi rééducatif et du mode de communication. Les enfants sourds porteurs d’un implant cochléaire présentent une qualité de la voix et de la parole comparable à celle d’enfants normo-entendants de même âge chronologique, mais non similaire puisque des différences acoustiques, segmentales et supra-segmentales ont été mises en avant. Il pourrait être intéressant d’étendre cette observation aux enfants implantés précocementThis research task falls under the field of clinical phonetics and more particularly raises of the intelligibility of the word of deaf children with cochlear implant and normal-hearing children. The interest of this thesis lies in the comparison of the productions of deaf children with cochlear implant and normal-hearing children, paired in chronological age. We analyze segmental and suprasegmental parameters in production, such as the vowels of standard French and the fricative consonants /f, S, ʃ/, the study of the speech rate of word, the comprehensibility of monosyllabic words with naive listeners, or still the comprehensibility of the semi-spontaneous word. We are also interested in the way in which the productions of the established children cochléaires are perceived by a jury of naive listeners (n=10; average age 37 years). The primary purpose of this work is to highlight the major differences or similarities between the two groups based on the chronological age of the children but also on the age back to the cochlear implant, the rehabilitative monitoring and communication mode. Deaf children with cochlear implants present a quality of the voice and word comparable with that of normal-hearing children of the same chronological age, but non similar age since differences acoustic, segmental and suprasegmental were put ahead. It might be interesting to extend this observation to early implanted children

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le courant des études portant sur la relation langage-cognition enL2. L’objectif principal est d’analyser la conceptualisation spatiale dans une tâchenarrative orale (Frog story) chez plusieurs groupes d’apprenants qui se distinguent a) pourleur L1 (anglais, français, italien), b) pour leur L2 (italien, français) et c) pour leur niveaude compétence en L2 (intermédiaire vs. avancé). Pour ce faire, nous adoptons uneméthodologie impliquant des comparaisons successives entre les récits de groupes natifs etnon natifs ayant accompli la même tâche, afin de comprendre de quelle manière lesapprenants se rapprochent de la LC et s’ils sont influencés par leur L1 lors du discoursspatial en L2.L’analyse des récits natifs confirme les différences intertypologiques entre les languesverb-framed, français et italien, et satellite-framed, l’anglais (Talmy 1985). Néanmoins,une variation intra-typologique entre l’italien et le français est attestée: seul l’italienexploite des constructions satellitaires.Quant aux productions en L2, les apprenants, surtout les intermédiaires, traitent la tâche defaçon minimale (traitement prototypique, Watorek 1996) en exprimant essentiellement latrajectoire, qui représente la composante de base dans la tâche demandée. Au niveauintermédiaire, il n’y a pas de traces d’influence de la L1 sur la conceptualisation spatiale enL2, qui est, en revanche, attestée chez les apprenants anglophones avancés de l’italien L2 àtravers l’emploi de constructions satellitaires. L’existence de structures similaires dans laLS et la LC et l’évidence positive dans l’input semblent favoriser le transfert conceptuel enL2This thesis intervenes in the line of studies about the relation between language andcognition in L2. The main objective is to analyze spatial conceptualization in an oralnarrative task (Frog story) by several groups of learners who differ for a) their L1 (English,French, Italian), b) their L2 (Italian, French) and c) their L2 proficiency level (intermediatevs. advanced). In order to do this, we adopt a methodology that implies successivecomparisons between the productions performed by different native and non-native groupsaccomplishing the same task. The aim is to distinguish to what extent learners get closer tothe TL and if they are influenced by their L1 during the spatial production in L2.The L1 results confirm the intertypological differences between verb-framed, Italian andFrench, and satellite-framed languages, English (Talmy 1985, 2000). Nevertheless, anintratypological variation between Italian and French is attested: only Italian makes use ofsatellite constructions.As for L2 productions, learners, especially the intermediate ones, provide a minimalresponse to the task (traitement prototypique, Watorek 1996) by encoding mainly Path, thebasic component of the task. At the intermediate level, there are no traces of the influenceof the L1 on spatial conceptualization in L2, instead attested by advanced English learnersof Italian L2 through the use of satellite constructions. The existence of similar structure inthe SL and TL and the positive evidence in the input seem to favour conceptual transfertfrom L1 to L2

Full textAbstract:
This quantitative study derived from an on-going federal experimental research
project targeting Spanish-speaking English language learners (ELLs) receiving services
in four program models: control/experimental transitional bilingual education (TBE) and
control/experimental structured English immersion (SEI). The purpose of my study was
(a) to capture the growth trajectory and rate of oral English acquisition, (b) to investigate
the role of oral English development in acquiring English reading skills, and (c) to
compare program models in order to identify practices that promote ELLs’ English oral
and reading competency at the early elementary level. Structural equation modeling was
utilized. Participants consisted of 534 Spanish-speaking ELLs who started at
kindergarten and continued through first grade in their respective models.
Striking similarities were found among the four instructional models that English
oral proficiency improved significantly (p < .05) in a linear fashion over two years.
However, the magnitude differed in that the experimental TBE demonstrated a steeper growth (p < .025) than that of the control group that started at the same level. Even
though experimental SEI group started at a much lower level in oral English, they
progressed at a rate significantly higher (p < .05) than that of the control group.
In relation to English reading comprehension, for experimental SEI groups, the
initial level of English oral proficiency is of great concern in reading achievement (p
< .05). For both TBE groups, effective intervention is desired because the growth of
English oral proficiency strongly impacts reading achievement (p < .05), and, in addition,
initial level strongly predicts reading comprehension.
The intervention was successfully implemented so that students advanced to a
substantial amount in academic English oray. It is also evident that first language (L1)
instruction did not impede the learning of a second language. On the contrary, for those
students receiving a larger proportion of L1 instruction, alterations in program models
are needed to nurture English oracy at a faster rate of growth, which in turn facilitates
English literacy acquisition. Findings also indicate that without effective English
intervention, students placed in control TBE classrooms remain below all the students in
oral English proficiency.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter shows that Isaac derives his conceptual framework for the concept of ecstasy, along with the technical terms wonder and astonishment, from sources that were originally written in Syriac. In particular, both Ephrem and John the Solitary situate wonder and astonishment within the framework of the future world, which means that Isaac’s desire to frame wonder and astonishment in terms of the mind’s ability to wander into heaven and acquire knowledge of the future world demonstrates his dependence on a trajectory of thought that arises from these two authors. Isaac, however, offers the distinct contribution of describing this connection between wonder and knowledge of the future world with the language of itinerancy. According to Isaac, perfect Christians obtain heavenly knowledge during the moment of prayer, when their minds become itinerant and wander into heaven in order to receive a pledge of the heavenly mysteries from the Holy Spirit.

Full textAbstract:
Childhood multilingualism has become a norm rather than an exception. This is the first handbook to survey state-of-the-art research on the uniqueness of early multilingual development in children growing up with more than two languages in contact. It provides in-depth accounts of the complexity and dynamics of early multilingualism by internationally renowned scholars who have researched typologically different languages in different continents. Chapters are divided into six thematic areas, following the trajectory, environment and conditions underlying the incipient and early stages of multilingual children's language development. The many facets of childhood multilingualism are approached from a range of perspectives, showcasing not only the challenges of multilingual education and child-rearing but also the richness in linguistic and cognitive development of these children from infancy to early schooling. It is essential reading for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the multiple aspects of multilingualism, seen through the unique prism of children.

Full textAbstract:
This book is a pioneering work of intellectual history that transformed our understanding of the relationship between Christian theology and the development of science. The author explores the metaphysical foundations of modern science and shows how, by the 1600s, theological and scientific thinking had become almost one. Major figures like Descartes, Leibniz, Newton, and others developed an unprecedented secular theology whose debt to medieval and scholastic thought shaped the trajectory of the scientific revolution. The book ends with the author's influential analysis of the seventeenth century's “unprecedented fusion” of scientific and religious language. Featuring a new foreword, the book is a pathbreaking and classic work that remains a fundamental resource for historians and philosophers of science.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter takes a close look at ergativity in Indo-Aryan, the only language family for which we have a continuous attested record for over three thousand years. Old Indo-Aryan did not have an over ergative case whereas many of the New Indo-Aryan languages do. It tracks the diachronic trajectory of a result-stative construction from Old Indo-Aryan to its reanalysis as an ergative construction in Middle Indo-Aryan and explore the variation found in further developments in New Indo-Aryan languages, wherein several languages lose aspects of the ergative system, or innovate morphological material to reinforce the structural pattern. We discuss the relationship of ergativity to various structural and semantic factors that have been adduced in the literature. This includes agreement patterns, possessors, aspect, evidentiality and various lexical semantic factors.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses English-language novels in Canada, focusing on a limited set of texts that exemplify key historical and socio-economic concerns informing the periods of early settler-colonialism, Confederation, and early to late modernism in Canada. The development of the novel in Canada to 1950 is at times a bleak story, albeit one with notable highlights. In telling that story, the chapter eschews a linear trajectory of ‘development’ in favour of a two-pronged approach: adopting an issue-based focus, the chapter employs the categories of empire, race, and gender; the second approach focuses on the historical conditions of the production and circulation of novels. It then looks at the post-1950 era to account for the ways in which the canon of pre-1950s Canadian novels is shaped and/or sustained by contemporary institutional forces such as the New Canadian Library and Editing Modernism in Canada Project.

Full textAbstract:
The life of Rilke’s work is in its words, and this book attends closely to the development of that life as it unfolds over Rilke’s career. What is a poem, and how does it act upon us when we read? This is a question of the greatest interest to Rilke, who addresses it in several poems and for whom the experience of reading affords an interaction with the world, a recalibration of our ways of attending to it, which set it apart from other kinds of experience. Rilke’s work is often approached in periods – he is the author of the Neue Gedichte, or of Malte, or of the Duino Elegies, or of the Sonette an Orpheus – as if the different phases of his work had little to do with one another, but in fact it is a concentrated and evolving exploration of the possibilities of poetic language, a working of the life of words into precise and exacting forms in dialogue with the texture of the world. This book traces that trajectory in a series of close readings that do not neglect the lesser-known, uncollected poems and the poems in French, as well as Rilke’s activity as a translator of Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Barrett Browning, Mallarmé and Valéry among many others. These encounters were part of Rilke’s engagement with the world, his way of extending the reach of his language to get it ever closer to the ungraspable movements, the risk and promise, of life itself.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past 25 years, Rwanda has undergone remarkable shifts and transitions: culturally, economically, and educationally the country has gone from strength to strength. While much scholarship has understandably been retrospective, seeking to understand, document and commemorate the Genocide against the Tutsi, this volume gathers diverse perspectives on the changing social and cultural fabric of Rwanda since 1994. Rwandan Since 1994 considers the context of these changes, particularly in relation to the ongoing importance of remembering and in wider developments in the Great Lakes and East Africa regions. Equally it explores what stories of change are emerging from Rwanda: creative writing and testimonies, as well as national, regional, and international political narratives. The contributors interrogate which frameworks and narratives might be most useful for understanding different kinds of change, what new directions are emerging, and how Rwanda's trajectory is ongoingly shaped by other global factors. The international set of contributors includes creative writers, practitioners, activists, and scholars from African studies, history, anthropology, education, international relations, modern languages, law and politics. As well as delving into the shifting dynamics of religion and gender in Rwanda today, the book brings to light the experiences of lesser-discussed groups of people such as the Twa and the children of perpetrators.

AbstractThe chapter explores the developmental trajectory of Ukraine’s higher education system since the middle ages. Starting with just a few comprehensive universities in the western parts at first and later Eastern parts of the country, the system gradually evolved into a diverse and differentiated institutional landscape. The variety and scope of HEIs reflects the internal logic of the system’s own development as well as outside factors, including changes of the ruling governments, fluctuations in the demographic trends, shifts in political alliances and cultural and language oscillations, which have been characteristic of the Ukrainian history. The authors elaborate on several policy rationales that came to underpin some of the changes since the collapse of the Soviet Union as well as policy discussions and policy silences (lack of dialog amongst various stakeholders) that have taken a lot of energy and yet have not lead to any noticeable changes in the institutional scene. The chapter also discusses the most recent changes in the legislation and practical implementations leaving space for future research to draw conclusions as to their effectiveness.

Abstract This chapter begins by introducing the distinction between thinking and knowing, and the pivotal role that it has played in theories of artificial intelligence (AI) development. This distinction is traced back to the work of early theorists such as Hebb and Cattell. Then, focussing on the theories of ‘thinking’, the chapter follows the trajectory of twentieth-century thinking about the nature of thought. The chapter considers early approaches to building AI as systems that reasoned over logical premises, or language-like mental representations. The chapter considers the early approaches to understanding the mental models proposed by Craik, Tolman, and Kohler. It discusses the convergence of psychology and AI research in the 1970s, the development of expert systems, and finally the emergence of Bayesian models for probabilistic reasoning.

Full textAbstract:
The last decades have seen the active embracement of classroom multilingualism in educational settings. The relevance of this study is justified by the increasing cultural and linguistic diversity in Western societies, the high demand for teachers who understand the value of multilingualism, have deep knowledge of multilingual language practices, are able and willing to provide an appropriate learning environment for language learners. The main objective of the study is to investigate the pre-service language teachers’ beliefs about crosslinguistic pedagogy, code-switching, and codemixing as the leading examples of this pedagogy in educational settings. An online questionnaire was shared among teacher candidates (n=20) enrolled in teacher education programs at the University of Hamburg. The respondents were asked to answer the questions concerning their background and to mark on a Likert scale whether they agreed with the statements provided to them or would find the implementation of certain methodology useful. The findings suggest positive attitudes towards multilingualism and a high level of awareness regarding the importance of previously acquired languages for subsequent language teaching and learning. However, some discrepancies between knowledge, beliefs, and practice are indicated. The results allow us to conclude that target-language-only use in language classes is still a highly desirable goal for pre-service language teachers. Some possible implications for curriculum development arising from the study are discussed.

The article studies the language and literature teachers’ understanding of the characteristics and stages of professional self-development, their ability to plan their career growth. Attention is paid to the democratic principles and human-centered approach. The novelty of this article lies in the definition of the leading determinants of self-education as a factor of personal growth and professional development, the formation of a culture of personal development, emotional and volitional self-regulation. The methodological basis of the study is identified by the following approaches: acmeological, axiological, anthropocentric, learning-by-doing, competence, culturological, personal, synergetic, systematic. The subject of the study is language and literature teachers’ understanding of their professional development and postgraduate pedagogical education. Thus, this research demonstrates the relevance of the issues raised in this article. Future research needs to clarify the problems that hinder the creativity of teachers to deepen the knowledge about the theoretical and methodological principles of professional self-development, stimulate teachers to improve their professional competencies, focus on the creation of their trajectory of personal development.

The third chapter, in many ways, extends this trajectory of thought into a dialogue with the work of the Italian theorist Giorgio Agamben. Beginning with his characterization of a “scission” within language that posits philosophy as that which can know its object without possessing it and poetry as that which can possess it without knowing it, this chapter demonstrates how his earlier work on poetry maintains a necessary correlation with his later philosophical and theo-political writings. In this context, I explore his development of a poetic “atheology” that is a sort of materialist metaphysics, the potential last refuge of meaning in an otherwise nihilistic world—one that contains dire implications for the fields of poetry, philosophy, and theology. The establishment of poetry as a last refuge of meaning over and against the “destruction of experience” in the modern era is a bold claim to be sure, expressing Agamben’s attempt to reformulate the possibility for meaning to emerge beyond its inscription in language, as well as the conditions under which theology could be understood as a profane endeavor that tries to speak to this situation of human existence.

Sign languages, structurally different from oral languages, are based on gestures and involve their own grammars and repertoires of lexical units (signals or signs), and they play an important role in establishing communication among deaf people around the world. This chapter primarily focuses on the development of dictionaries for Libras (an acronym for Língua Brasileira de Sinais, or ‘Brazilian Language of Signs’), the natural language of the Brazilian deaf community. It traces the influence of the first dictionary of the deaf in Brazil, Iconographia dos Signaes dos Surdos-Mudos (‘Iconography of Signs of Deaf-Mutes’), which was published in 1875 by the National Institute of Education of the Deaf (INES) and authored by Flausino José da Gama, a student at the Institute. In their demonstration of the influence and inspiration this dictionary gave to lexicographers who followed da Gama, Bidarra and Martins outline the historical trajectory of sign languages up to the present, considering different and parallel paths for sign languages in different countries, forms of stigmatization of sign language, and barriers to its use. Incorporating this historical and transnational analysis, Bidarra and Martins present both a broad discussion of the various models of sign language dictionaries that have been used around the world and an in-depth analysis of the development of Libras dictionaries in Brazil to the modern day.

Today, no country can claim that its business can be local or national due to the effects of globalization. The world of business has become international. In this new millennium, few economies can afford to ignore global business opportunities. The globalizing wind has broadened the mind sets of executives, extended the geographical reach of firms, and nudged international business into some new trajectories. One such new trajectory is the concern with national culture. This has a tremendous impact on the subject matter of talent management for any country, economy or nation. Africa is no exception. Though there is a considerable body of research suggesting a link between language, communication and how gender – and leadership – gets ‘done' in organisations, there is very little research on global perspective for managing talent especially in the African context. This chapter intends to fill that gap and in particular deals with global perspective of talent management in the African context.

In the study the features of artificial intelligence use, the main advantages and disadvantages of this technology are analyzed; the aspects of such a pedagogical process in learning Arabic are substantiated, the results of research and scientific advances in cyberlinguistics are summarized. The relevance of the use of artificial intelligence technologies and chatterbots in the study of Arabic in higher education is highlighted. The current state of introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in the educational process of students of higher education institutions is analyzed. Examples of the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the study of Arabic are given. Categories of computer programs with the use of artificial intelligence technology for learning a foreign language are singled out and described. The advantages and debatable issues related to access to user data during the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the educational process are identified. The expediency of using chatterbots with a linear structure is substantiated. Scenarios for the use of chatterbots in the educational process during the study of a foreign language are identified: search script and content generation script. The tasks of a linear chatterbot for learning a foreign language are presented and described. The educational trajectories which will allow reaching the set purposes in training with use of chatterbots are allocated. Mandatory methodological and content elements during the creation of a linear chatterbot are highlighted. The practical scenario of creating an author's chatterbot for learning a foreign language on the sendpulse.ua platform with its further use in Telegram is given. When creating a chatterbot, it was found that the chain constructor is the main tool for setting up a chatterbot. The practical advantages of using a linear chatterbot when learning a foreign language are presented. The study identified a promising direction for the creation of several linear chatterbots (without the use of artificial intelligence), which can be involved simultaneously at different stages of the development of the individual trajectory of education. Multiple chatterbots that provide different answers and ask different questions can significantly improve a learner's communication and other skills.

Full textAbstract:
A significant part of a Manufacturing Automation course is devoted to CNC machine tools, their architecture, and the part programming languages (APT, ISO G-code and so on). Nevertheless, it is not trivial to provide the students with a complete understanding of the relationships between the machine dynamics, the path planning strategy, and the control systems. For this reason, a short laboratory course has been developed aimed at the programming of a simplified CNC software with the following functionalities: to parse a part program written in a subset of the ISO G-code; to process the instruction blocks and to generate trapezoidal velocity profiles; to convert the velocity profiles reference trajectory; to interpolate the reference trajectory at the servo loop control frequency. In order to shorten the development time, the following choices have been made. The parser only implements a small subset of the ISO G-code, which is point-to-point positioning (G00), linear interpolation (G01) and full stop (M30). The velocity profiles are calculated as acceleration-limited trapezoidal profiles with zero-feed velocity boundary conditions. Finally, the system is developed in Ruby, which is an object-oriented scripting language, easy to learn and well suited for rapid prototyping of complex software systems. This is why the project has been named RNC (Ruby Numerical Control). At the course start, the overall system architecture is explained and is translated in the set of Ruby classes that have to be developed, and classes interfaces are mandatorily determined. During the laboratory activity, students work in teams, and each team is encouraged to work separately on the development of each Ruby class. At the end of the development phase, the students can interface the RNC they wrote with a machine tool simulator (developed separately) and use the whole software system to test the accuracy of the tool-tip trajectories as a function of the system parameters (servo loop gains, motors torque, masses and dynamic performance of the virtual machine tool). Moreover, thanks to the object-based architecture of RNC and to the common, pre-determined class interfaces, the students can then swap and mix different implementations of the above reported functionalities, as well as enhanced versions provided by the teacher. With respect to other similar Mathlab/Simulink based solutions, the presented laboratory activity brings a more detailed insight into a CNC software still limiting the code complexity thanks to the Ruby language and it is only based on open-source tools.

The subject of this paper is trajectory control for an Adept Cobra 600 robot, which has been retrofitted for additive ice construction. Since this application is quite different from typical SCARA applications, considerable development is needed for trajectory control and data flow. We first outline the trajectory control system requirements, as well as the limitations of the robot hardware. Different control options are proposed and their merits and demerits are discussed; the most suitable scheme is judged to be custom programming in Adept’s V+ programming language, with trajectories expressed in the Cobra 600 joint space. With this control scheme, all system requirements are met, data manipulation is most efficient, and the system is readily adaptable for planned modifications. A specific data format is needed in order to implement this control scheme; we describe how trajectory data produced with our part-slicing algorithm is converted to the format required for the V+ programs.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the greenfield development process, one of the key questions that needs to be answered is, "What is the range of EUR for a particular development concept and the associated completion method based on the existing range of subsurface uncertainties?" The key challenge then is how can the team forecast a representative range of EUR efficiently to obtain a range of results that represent a probabilistic outcome. During the reservoir modelling process of this case study, a total of 405 static realizations had been run and then a STOIIP S-curve was generated. In the next step, 20 cases each of "High, Mid and Low" static models were selected based on the S-curve distribution for the next phase of dynamic simulation due to time and resources constraint. In terms of completion, the same development concept and completion method is assumed, where each dynamic case requires 8 horizontal producing wells with 200 metres of completion interval. Wells placement aside, each of the 60 dynamic models should not have the same fixed perforation depths and intervals due to the geological uncertainties with regards to facies distribution and they need to be selected based on the well effective k-h and hydrocarbon saturation along each well trajectory. Manual work could be used to analyse the best intervals for each of the planned wells, or in this case, this laborious process was replaced with an automated selection of the optimum completion interval workflow using Python script. This paper will show the workflow of how a scripted Python code is designed to provide an "automated moving window" to find the best intervals along a well trajectory. This workflow was executed in the pre-processor of the dynamic simulator which has a workflow window with Python-embedded capability. The Python code then generated the simulation keyword COMPDATMD, which contained the best perforation intervals for all the wells as an output. This automated workflow resulted in an optimization of the completion intervals in all the 60 dynamic model cases, while the ultimate recovery for this greenfield development in Peninsula Malaysia increased by 30% compared to EUR from previously "unoptimized runs". This approach is managed to cut down the run preparation time by at least two weeks compared to the manual solution. The improved range of EUR is also considered as a more representative outcome of the field development evaluation. Utilizing emerging technology breakthrough such as ability to customize specific features via a programming language is important towards a successful era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The results of this automated and customized workflow automation demonstrate a successful application of using machine learning for enhanced problem-solving in reservoir simulation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this paper we derive a dynamic model of the delta robot and two formulations of the manipulator Jacobian that comprise a system of singularity-free, index-one differential algebraic equations that is well-suited for model-based control design and computer simulation. One of the Jacobians is intended for time-domain simulation, while the other is for use in discrete-time control algorithms. The model is well-posed and numerically well-conditioned throughout the workspace, including at kinematic singularities. We use the model to derive an approximate feedback linearizing control algorithm that can be used for both trajectory tracking and impedance control, enabling some assembly tasks involving contact and collisions. The model and control algorithms are realized in the open-source Modelica language, and a Modelica-based software architecture is described that allows for a seamless development process from mathematical derivation of control algorithms, to desktop simulation, and finally to laboratory-scale experimental testing without the need to recode any aspect of the control algorithm. Simulation and experimental results are provided.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Long term development planning requires infill drilling. Due to limited number of slots in offshore environment new drillings centers (Well Head Towers) are required. Optimized location of drilling center can have big impact on reducing drilling expenses. Two main challenges related to WHT placement are tackled in the paper. Firstly, where to place future drilling center based on subsurface coordinates and drilling constraints. Secondly, how to allocate dozens of subsurface targets to multiple drilling centers. Developed drilling center placement optimization algorithm is based on multiple optimization parameters related to well cost. Main driver of total well cost is well length. Hence, it will be used as primary optimization criteria. It requires solving complex 3D well trajectory analytically and screening thousands of iterations for various WHT locations. Secondary optimization criteria are type of mud used in main section of the well, seabed depth etc. All parameters are summarized in total well cost map helping to choose global best location of WHT. Wells allocation per WHT are performed with constrained K-means clustering algorithm. Proposed methodology was developed in house using open-source programming language. Generated well trajectories are identical to the outputs of commercial drilling software proofing the robustness of the solution. Screening hundreds of drilling center location requires thousands of well trajectories generation which can be computed and analyzed within seconds. Proposed methodology was applied in optimizing WHT locations on several Long-Term Development projects across various offshore fields. Drilling center's location are generally chosen based on simplistic approach such as arithmetic average of landing points. Proposed approach can save in average ∼3-5 percent of total drillex as final trajectories will be shorter and mud type in main section can be simplified. Restricted K-means clustering approach is proven to be quick and efficient approach to allocate all subsurface targets to chosen number of wellhead towers respecting maximum number of wells per wellhead tower. Once subsurface targets are allocated per WHT, main optimization algorithm is applied. The novelty of developed approach is ability to screen drilling center locations for any complexity long term development plans in-house within minutes and it does not require any external resources/licenses since it's developed in open-source programming languages.

Full textAbstract:
In these days, manufacturing organizations are facing global competition and short technological cycles. The flexibility of an enterprise and its ability to respond to miscellaneous customer requests decide the competitiveness in the global market. It also requires that the manufacturing plant must reorganize efficiently to produce various products at low cost and short time. This flexibility in the manufacturing process must be able to accommodate various tasks to share resources under safe and efficient control. In the current development processes of manufacturing systems, information handling usually is an undeveloped area. Domains such as design, validation, and deployment will be separated and isolated. One reason for the redundant non-value-added implementation of the component model is that existing system development largely consists of isolated sub-processes that generate proprietary information such as control logic, simulation models, etc. This paper focuses on introducing an innovative software environment, EMBench, which integrates mechanical design, control configuration, simulation and deployment services seamlessly for manufacturing automation systems. Its auto-generated user-friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface) supports direct commanding to the controller at different layers, and internal data (control/mechanical) and model (simulation/physical) mapping eliminates redundant and error-prone manual data entry and model replication at different stages. This tool provides a means of layered and encapsulated services so that complex systems can be designed, configured, simulated and deployed hierarchically with various levels of details. IEC61499 is an emerging industrial standard for distributed industrial process measurement & control systems. Using IEC61499 function blocks and service layer architecture, control services ranging from basic joint servo, to kinematics of a mechanism, to trajectory interpolation, to language parsing and HMI processing, to complex multiple resources/processes coordination can be configured for an application. With the adaptation of IEC61499, EMBench serves as a modular, component-based design, simulation and prototyping tool for shop floor control. Several case studies are presented in details and various potential usages in different fields are discussed. EMBench uses IEC61499 as a means for modularization and reuse of control services.

Full textAbstract:
It has been ten years since the concept of the Publication Platform has been published in the special edition of the Scope Journal ISSN (online version; 1177-5661). The term ‘Publication Platform’ was introduced in the Practice Report, The Site of Publication in Contemporary Practice. This article surveyed a series of publication projects analysing distinctive editorial models as venues for discussion, collaboration, presentation of practice, and reflection. In this context, the term Publication Platform is employed to describe a space for a series of distinctive editorial modes. The platform considers printed matter as a venue for a diversity of discourse and dissemination of ideas, expanding the meaning and boundaries of printed media through a spectrum of publishing scenarios. The Publication Platform positions printed spaces as sites to reflect on editorial frameworks, content, design practices, and collaborative methodologies. One of the central ideas to the report was the role of collaboration to lead content, examining how creative relationships and media production partnership, affect editorial practice and design outcomes. Ten years after, the Publication Platform has evolved and renewed with emergent publishing projects to incorporate a spectrum of practice responsive to community, experimentation, interdisciplinarity, critical wiring, creativity, cultural production, contemporary arts, and craft-led discourse. This paper presents a case study of ‘Threaded Magazine’ as an editorial project and the role of its culturally connected approach. This study uses the term ‘culturally connected approach’ to frame how Threaded Magazine embodies, as a guiding underlying foundation for each issue, the three principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi: Participation, Protection and Partnership. This presentation reflects on how these principals connect to who Threaded Magazine are collectively as editors and designers, and determined by who we associate with, partner, and collaborate with. A key factor that influenced Threaded Magazine to adopt a more culturally connected approach arose by the invitation to participate in the international publication entitled Project 16/2, commissioned by Fedrigoni Papers for the Frankfurt Bookfair, in Germany. The Project 16/2 created an opportunity for a process of editorial self-discovery. This trajectory translated the tradition of oral storytelling into graphic language, conveying the essence (te ihi) of who we were. The visuality and tactility of the printed media set a format for Threaded Magazine to focus on Aotearoa’s cultural heritage, original traditions, and narratives. This paper overviews the introduction of a kaupapa for Issue 20, the ‘New Beginnings’ edition and process of adhering to tikanga Māori and Mātauranga Māori while establishing a particular editorial kawa (protocol) for the publication. The influence and collaboration with cultural advisory rōpū (group) Ngā Aho, kaumātua and kuia (advisors) will elaborate on the principle of participation. Issue 20 connected Threaded Magazine professionally, spiritually, physically, and culturally with the unique identity and landscape of Indigenous practitioners at the forefront of mahi toi (Māori Contemporary art) across Aotearoa. Special Edition, Issue 21, in development, continues to advance a culturally connected approach working with whānau, kaiwhatu (weavers), tohunga whakairo (carvers), kaumātua and kuia to explore cultural narratives, connections, visually through an editorial framework.

Full textAbstract:
Recent trends of migration to smaller social media platforms among right wing actors have raised a caution that an excessive focus on large, transnational social media companies might lose sight of the volatile spaces of homegrown and niche platforms, which have begun to offer diverse “alternative” avenues to extreme speech. Such trends, which drew global media attention during Trump supporters’ attempted exodus to Parler, are also gaining salience in Europe and the global South. Turning the focus to these developments, this article pries open three pertinent features of extreme speech on small platforms: its propensity to migrate between platforms, its embeddedness in domestic regulatory and technological innovations, and its evolving role in facilitating hateful language and disinformation in and through deep trust-based networks. Rather than assuming that smaller platforms are on an obvious trajectory toward progressive alternatives, their diverse entanglements with exclusionary extreme speech, I suggest, should be an important focal point for policy measures.
