Instant Communication

With the popularisation of the Internet, the use of e-mails and computer-based chats (CBCs) has increased dramatically among university students. An interesting feature of such communication, however, is that a written medium is treated like speech (cf. Maynor, 1994). Conversations turn into notes where grammatical accuracy and conventional formalities take a backseat to instant communication. In the case of on-campus CBCs, informality and a certain disregard of the conventions of standard English are all the more manifest.It is commonly believed in Hong Kong that this general freedom to write ‘bad English’ has encouraged the habit of randomly incorporating Cantonese words into English e-mails. Yet an examination of students' e-mails and icq (‘I Seek You’) communications reveals that far from ‘polluting’ their English by substituting Cantonese words haphazardly for English ones, or by applying Cantonese structures to their English writing, students tend to incorporate certain kinds of Cantonese words systematically into their texts for specific identifiable purposes.

An important center in which genetic research started and was carried out in Brazil during the 20th century was situated at the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Linguistics of the University of São Paulo, led by André Dreyfus (1897–1952). Beginning in 1943, the Ukrainian geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky (1900–1975) visited Dreyfus’s group four times. This paper evaluates the impact of Dobzhansky’s visits on the studies of genetics and evolution developed by the members of Dreyfus’s group during the 1940s and the 1950s. The study leads to the conclusion that Dobzhansky’s visits had an impact, not only in quantitative terms (the number of individual and joint publications), but also in qualitative terms. However, we also detect a decrease in the number of individual and joint publications related to the subject of the project during certain periods. The adoption of new experimental organisms by some members of the group; the involvement with subjects not related to the initial project, such as botany; Dobzhansky’s and his wife’s health problems during the third visit; and scientific disagreements between Dobzhansky and Brazilian researchers may have contributed to the decrease in publications.

This chapter discusses the specific challenges faced by Icelandic students trained in traditional English as a Foreign Language (EFL) when they enter university programs that are partially or entirely taught in English (English as a Medium of Instruction, EMI). This includes the measures taken by the Department of English to meet English majors’ and non-English majors’ growing demand for academic English support. The lack of academic English skills of Icelandic students is a “hidden challenge” (Ingvarsdóttir and Arnbjörnsdóttir, 2014) caused by an overconfident perception of students’ English proficiency by University officials and by the students themselves. The goal of the Department of English is to bring students quickly to a level of academic English that allows them to access curriculum and instruction where ENL (English as a Native Language) norms are expected. As the identified challenges differ from those encountered in students’ previous EFL dominated environment with minimal writing experience, there is a critical need to adapt teaching and learning practices to a new linguistic context where English functions as an additional language. The article concludes with a description of a new intensive instructional approach that targets identified English academic literacy needs of students entering the University of Iceland. The foundation of the new approach is that all students can acquire skills in organizing ideas and composing clear and effective text in English across all genres. The approach accomplishes this by developing awareness of English writing conventions, knowledge about which strategies to employ and when to employ them, revision skills and the persistence to rewrite until the text authentically reflects the views of the author. The idea is that through writing, students also gain an awareness of the nature of English academic texts and thereby hone their reading skills.

The study recommends a set of recommendations that must be taken in order to maintain a high level of creativity among university students. Among the most prominent of those recommendations. Universities should adopt a policy of raising student morale by increasing the level of trust between them and the students and not focusing on the negative aspects of performance and raising the morale of students, in addition to providing the necessary financial allocations for the advancement of the creative level.

Es frecuente escuchar en reuniones informales sobre la asignatura de matemáticas y el pasado estudiantil,  en algunos casos se suele tener respuestas que reflejan apatía a la asignatura, expresada en experiencias poco agradables, llegando hasta seleccionar carreras que no tengan que ver con números ni cálculos matemáticos. Este ha sido motivo de estudio para los autores de la investigación, quienes indagaron en estudiantes universitarios para  conocer en detalle,  si la apatía está relacionada con estudiar carreras que tengan en el currículo la menor cantidad de asignaturas que involucren las matemáticas. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar las causas de la apatía a las matemáticas en las carreras universitarias humanísticas, para lo cual se utilizó como instrumento de investigación la encuesta a estudiantes de las universidades: Técnica de Manabí y San Gregorio de Portoviejo, en las carreras de Trabajo Social y Jurisprudencia, identificando la principal debilidad de los docentes de matemáticas el  homogenizar su metodología de trabajo, sin considerar que los grupos de estudios, y los estudiantes son distintos, añadiendo también  que realizan diagnósticos inadecuados, que los textos a pesar de traer lecturas motivadoras la actitud de los docentes no contribuyen a una verdadera motivación, generando indiferencia y rechazo a la asignatura, concluyendo que la apatía y poco entusiasmo por la asignatura de Matemática es responsabilidad metodológica de los docentes, los cuales muestran insuficiencias pedagógicas para impartir la cátedra objeto de estudio de esta investigación.  Palabras claves: Didáctica de las Matemáticas, métodos de enseñanza de Matemáticas, Motivación hacia las Matemáticas, Hábitos de estudios.   Summary Is often heard in informal meetings about the subject of mathematics and the past student, on some cases it is usually have answers that reflect apathy to the subject, express on unpleasant experiences, until you select careers that do not have to do with numbers or mathematical calculations. This has been reason of study for the authors of the investigation, who inquired about university students to know in detail, if the apathy is related with study careers that they have in the curriculum the least amount of subjects that involve the mathematics. The object of this work is determining the causes of the apathy to the mathematics in the university humanistic careers, for which the survey of university students was used as a research tool: Technical of Manabí and San Gregorio of Portoviejo, in the careers of Social Work and jurisprudence, identifying the main weakness of mathematics teachers to homogenize their work methodology, without considering that the group of studies, and the students are different, also adding that they make inadequate diagnoses, that the texts in spite of bringing motivational readings the attitude of the teachers do not contribute to a true motivation, generating indifference and rejection to the subject, concluding that apathy and little enthusiasm for the subject of mathematics is methodological responsibility of the teachers, which show pedagogical inadequacies to teach the lecture subject of study of this research.
