The article focuses on the perspectives of FL methodology at tertiary level and the nearest objectives for the system of upgrading professional qualification for the staff members of language chairs. There are some objective problems that universities face in respect to FL teaching that secondary schools don’t. The main problem lies in the lack of transparent and clear-cut system of expectations for the level of language proficiency for graduate students. The number of credits for the FL course at some universities is reducing, while the expectations are growing. It is crucial to develop national curriculum in FL teaching for different universities and departments majoring in Humanities, Arts, Science, Engineering, etc., otherwise it will be difficult to develop realistic syllabi and the system of FL assessment and evaluation In the process of curriculum and syllabus design it seems important to rethink the correlation between possible patterns of language use that are relevant for different target groups: EGP, EAP, ESP. In terms of achieving international academic mobility it is important to design new curriculum according to ECTS, to raise the degree of learners’ autonomy. It means new forms and formats of teacher- student and student-student interaction should be implied for contact hours and the system of independent work on the course. The role of IT and the transparent system of assessment in this respect needs to be predetermined. It is equally important to develop a feasible system of re-training staff members so that they could meet new challenges well equipped.

This study focuses on developing a framework to identify dialogic interaction in English-medium science lectures in a small faculty of a Sri Lankan university. In Sri Lanka, English-medium instruction was introduced with an objective of developing language proficiency of students along with the content delivery. It is asserted that teacher-student interaction in ESL content classes would help develop language proficiency of students. However, generally, lectures in English-medium undergraduate courses in Sri Lanka tend to be monologic, leaving the language development a question. The lecture delivery style, along with other reasons, affects students’ language development in English-medium classes. Although increased dialogic interaction could help change this situation, few studies have examined the occurrence of dialogic interaction in tertiary-level ESL science classes. The main objective of this study is to develop a framework by analysing the lectures given at the faculty in a method that contextually suits the lecture delivery style in the Asian countries. Data were collected from transcribed recordings of 12 hours of lectures, involving four lecturers. The interactional episodes in the lectures were the basis of developing the analytical framework, which refines and extends the MICASE corpus interactivity rating in a contextually-focused way, was especially designed to categorise the lecture discourse along a monologic-interactive/dialogic continuum. This paper also suggests how this framework could be adopted to analyse the lecture deliveries from a practitioner’s point of view. Within the scope of this paper it is explained how this framework was designed focusing attention to interactional episodes. It can be envisaged that the proposed framework can make a concrete contribution to teaching and learning in higher education, mainly to the concept of developing language through dialogic lecture delivery at tertiary level ESL content classes.

The main objective of the proposed study was to explore Teacher–Student verbal interaction patterns at tertiary level education in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan using Flanders’ Interaction Analysis system.  This study was significant because its findings and conclusions may stimulate teachers to improve their teaching behaviour in order to maximize student learning.  To achieve the above study objectives, three hypotheses were formulated in the light of Flanders “Two-thirds rule” of teacher-student classroom interaction at the tertiary level, namely, about two-thirds of the classroom time is devoted to talking, about two-thirds of this time the person talking is the teacher and two-thirds of the teachers’ talk is “direct” talk. Twenty-five classrooms at the tertiary level were randomly selected as samples for this study.  Twenty-five observations were carried out, one in each classroom, using Flanders Interaction Analysis system to secure the data.  To do this, time sampling was used and each classroom was observed for 810 seconds (13.50 minutes) in a 45-minutes class.  After obtaining and encoding the data, it was tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted by using percentages, means, and standard deviation.  All the hypotheses were supported and it was concluded that, at the tertiary level, more than two-thirds of classroom time was devoted to talking. Thus, talk method dominated in classes. More than two-thirds of the classroom talking time was devoted to teachers talking at the tertiary level with the teachers playing the dominant role.  More than two-thirds of the teachers’ talking time was devoted to direct talk, which showed the direct role of the teacher and indirect role of students at the tertiary level.

Society is based on the interaction with each other of each member of society. What is important is the interactions that take place between everyone. The aim of our study is to characterize the use of interactivity in history lessons in the process of working with sources. Subject - interactions between child and adult in school practice in the process of working with historical sources. The research methodology, which includes several groups of methods, helped us to achieve the planned. The first group - general scientific methods. First of all - historical and logical with their inherent analysis, synthesis and systematic approach. At the level of individual sources, each is first perceived as a holistic phenomenon, then for deeper study it is broken down into parts, and then, at a new level of knowledge, it is considered as a whole. Interdisciplinary methods are inherent in various sciences. The third group - general historical methods, which are inherent in historical knowledge as a whole. Source methods allow you to work directly with the source. The issue of interaction has been considered by researchers in various fields, as it is intertwined and multifaceted. Among them are teachers, psychologists, sociologists and others. In lessons, students learn to formulate their own opinions, discuss, listen to another person, respect diversity. The modeling of social situations and their experience - empathy - is also indicative. The creative perception of the material, the development of skills of independent work, a friendly climate in the classroom remain important. The presented material encourages the joint creation of educational space in general secondary education institutions. The lessons of history are important in this. They encourage the formation of key competencies and skills of adult life. The prospect of the study may be to study the role of the teacher in the multifaceted perception of history.

Staff Members

Staff members at a movie company Daiei, known for presumably the world’s best film technology, continued to produce movies for several months even after the company went bankrupt. It was because they desired to make outstanding films. A director can create a high-quality film by combining the skills and ideas of such staff. Akira Kurosawa named the group that could produce excellent works the “Community of Talents”. By using research on a community as a clue, this paper aims to highlight how the “Community of Talents” is organized. First I point out that a “Community of Talents” is formulated primarily by the labor of the staff based on Kumazawa’s “Community on the Shop Floor”. The paper subsequently refers to research by Heinrich Nicklish, a representative researcher on the study of community in Germany, in an attempt to verify that the community is a group of people established on functions. Lastly, the paper explores Guido Fisher’s research to reveal the role of democratic leadership centered on the director who transforms the objectified staff in the organization into an independently-minded presence and help them prove their abilities. The paper continues to emphasize the significance of leadership in the formation of the “Community of Talents”.

English Teaching

The English Language holds primacy in several levels of employment. This has drawn appeal towards the language as a valuable tool towards having an edge in ones skill set. Capitalizing on the image that English builds for ones employability and career advancement has become a trend set by employer and employee alike. It does indeed have its appeal in a global market, but its demand is due to the inability of educational institutions to provide verifiable and considerable output in students who are proficient in the English Language. Therefore the search for candidates with quality English skills is rather sparse in number. Attempts are of course made by academicians to change this reality but not to the level of a massive turnabout.

The theme of illegitimacy Guy de Maupassant evolved in his works this article perceives as one of the factors of the author’s concept of a person and the plane of intersection of the most typical motifs of his short stories. The study of the author’s concept of a person through the prism of polivariability of the motif of a bastard is relevant in today’s revision of traditional values, transformation of the usual social institutions and search for identities, etc. The purpose of the study is to give a definition to the existence specifics of the bastard motif in the Maupassant’s short stories by using historical and literary, comparative, structural methods of analysis as dominant. To do this, I analyze the content, variability and the role of this motive in the formation of the Maupassant’s concept of a person, the author’s innovations in its interpretation from the point of view of literary diachrony. Maupassant interprets the bastard motif in the social, psychological and metaphorical-symbolic sense. For the short stories with the presentation of this motif, I suggest the typology based on the role of it in the structure of the work and the ideological and thematic content: the short stories with a motif-fragment, the ones with the bastard’s leitmotif and the group where the bastard motif becomes a central theme. The Maupassant’s interpretation of the bastard motif combines the general tendencies of its existence in the world’s literary tradition and individual reading. The latter is the result of the author’s understanding of the relevant for the era issues: the transformation of the family model, the interest in the theory of heredity, the strengthening of atheistic sentiments, the growth of frustration in the system of traditional social and moral values etc. This study sets the ground for a prospective analysis of the evolution the bastard motif in the short-story collections of different years or a comparative study of the motif in short stories and novels by Maupassant.

Economic Considerations

Discussions about the role of small enterprise in economic development tend to remain inconclusive partly because of the difficulty of assessing the relative importance of economic and non-economic objectives and partly because of the dearth of factual information on which to base an economic calculus. It is probably true, moreover, that, because of a lack of general agreement as to the economic case for or against small enterprise, non-economic considerations, including some merely romantic attitudes toward smallness and bigness, tend to exert an undue influence on public policies. There may, of course, be no clear-cut economic case. And noneconomic considerations should and will inevitably weigh significantly in policy decisions. If, however, some of the economic questions could be settled by more and better knowledge, these decisions could more accurately reflect the opportunity costs of pursuing non-economic objectives.
