During intercultural communication, it is crucial to interpret correctly and to use appropriately foreign idioms which are culturally marked and reflect linguistic and cultural identity of a speech community. Interlocutors should be aware of the cultural and historical precedents that gave rise to the primary image underlying idiomatic expressions and thus created their unique phraseological worldview. The aim of the research is to find out what is a better predictor of correct idiom interpretation - degree of proficiency in a foreign language or degree of genealogical kinship between the native and foreign languages. The topicality of the research is justified by the need for a deeper understanding of linguistic and cultural identity of native and foreign-language speakers, with a view to facilitate and enhance cross-cultural communication. The working hypothesis is that due to the close genealogical kinship between Russian and Bulgarian and the users advanced level of English, the number of correctly interpreted idioms may vary within a statistically significant medium range. The total sample comprises 5000 idioms (2500 English and 2500 Bulgarian ones). The subsample used in the experiment comprises 60 idioms (30 English and 30 Bulgarian ones) selected from The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms and Nov fraseologichen rechnik na bylgarskiya jezik (Нов фразеологичен речник на българския език) by means of stratified systematic sampling. The main methods used in the research include (1) comparative linguistic and cultural analyses, (2) scientific experimentation, (3) systematic and stratified sampling, and (4) a paired t-test. The experimental research and the paired t-test have proved our hypothesis and demonstrated that Russian participants correctly decode more Bulgarian than English idioms, with intergroup variation being statistically significant. Research findings have implications for cultural linguistics. Since translation loans (calques), isomorphic idioms, and idioms dating back to a common source are interpreted more quickly and more accurately than idioms which contain unique or culturally-loaded elements, such as old-fashioned words or proper names, access to cultural precedents that served as prototypes of set expressions contributes to a more seamless code-switching and enables communicants to penetrate deeper the mentality of a specific linguacultural community and thus become aware of the variability of cultural cognition and conceptualisation.

This paper, by applying Discourse-Historical Approach [Wodak & Boukala, 2015], makes a diachronic analysis of 38 English Language Education Policy (ELEP) documents mandated in China since the 1980s, with the aim of generalizing the changing trajectory of cultural identity planning in China context of teaching English as a foreign language. It finds that ELEP before the year 2000 had a strong instrumentalism orientation, where a scientific planning of Chinese cultural identity is missing; then after the year 2000, cross-cultural communication ability is emphasized and learners’ Chinese cultural identity has been brought to the foreground. Currently, the policy discourses are mainly on defining foreign language talents and optimizing curriculum design with an aim to cultivate “dialogical communicators” [Gao Yihong, 2014a, b]. The paper concludes that cultural identity construction through top-down policy implementation would be a prolonged and challenging endeavor.

This study tends to investigate whether the age of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) institutional teachers in Isfahan/Iran have any relationship with the intelligence they prefer to use, whether consciously or unconsciously, in teaching English as a foreign language. The intelligences considered for the purpose of this study are namely Interpersonal and bodily/kinesthetic intelligences proposed by Gardner (1983). In order to conduct this investigation a standardized questionnaire based on Berman (2001) and Christison and Kennedy (1999) Multiple Intelligence (MI) checklist was given to 117 male institutional teachers and the results were calculated using a paired T-test also ten interviews were conducted at the end of the case study on ten teachers after observing their classes.

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) working group in 2002 reported that 12 Asia Pacific countries showed the prevalence of COPD in Indonesia was 5.6%. Based on medical record data at the Bima Regional General Hospital in April - September 2017, the number of COPD cases was 15 people. COPD is a disease characterized by progressive airway limitation caused by abnormal inflammation with general symptoms of worsening shortness of breath and decreased SpO2. To overcome this, provide breathing retraining which is a technique used to compensate for respiratory deficiencies. Objective: To determine the effect of breathing retreaning on increasing SpO2 in COPD patients. Methods: Quasi Experimental research design using One Group Pretest Posttest Design with a total sample of 17 respondents. Statistical test using Paired T-Test. The data collected is in the form of respondent's characteristic data, looking at the SpO2 value before and after being given breathing training. Respondents who were given the breathing retraining intervention before and after the intervention were measured using a questionnaire. Result: SpO2 assessment range before intervention is more dominant than 90-95% oxygen saturation as many as 15 respondents (88.2%) and > 95% as many as 2 respondents (11.8%). Meanwhile, after the intervention was given, the saturation > 95% was more dominant as many as 13 respondents (76.5%) and saturation 90-95% as many as 4 respondents (23.5%). The results of statistical tests using Paired T-test obtained p = 0.000. Conclusion: There is an effect of breathing retreaning on the increase in SpO2 in COPD patients in the room in RSUD Bima.
