This study investigates the use of Japanese intransitive and transitive verbs among the Vietnamese using KY Corpus. It identifies major features of errors committed by the Vietnamese in their use of Japanese intransitive and transitive verbs, namely (1) errors due to confusion of verb transformation, which account for a high proportion; (2) errors because of the Vietnamese learners' failure in recognizing perspectives that result in construal of the real world, which may rely on the speakers' own perspective or on that of the perceived entities; (3) errors resulting from negative transfer or word-for-word translation from L1 to L2 involving the passive voice, causative constructions; and (4) errors related to the use of auxiliaries in sentences with intransitive and transitive verbs.

Modern medical education faces a problem of combining the latest technology with classic teaching methods. Simulation is a technique, which replaces or amplifies experiences in controlled conditions and therefore evokes or replicates substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive manner. The basic course of human anatomy in medical education could be recognised as the best example of implementing new educational techniques such as simulation, into the traditional medical curriculum. Modern medical education faces a problem of combining the latest technology, procedures and information with classic teaching methods. The goal is to prepare students to become physicians equipped with the latest conceptions in medicine. Another challenge is the linking of theoretical and practical knowledge without forgetting the socio-practical aspect of medical care. Training, from the very beginning, taking place in a reality-reflected environment (e.g. simulation-based training) seems to be a beneficial solution. Simulation is a technique, which replaces or amplifies doctor–patient experiences in controlled conditions and therefore evokes or replicates substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive manner [1]. Simulation techniques improve both cognitive and practical aspects of the education process in predictable and stress free conditions. The basic course of anatomy in medical education could be recognised as the best example of implementing new educational techniques such as simulation, into the traditional medical curriculum.

Professional accountants need to retain and maintain a broad skills set. In response to this need, the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) emphasises the mastering of pervasive skills in its competency framework and expects South African universities offering its accredited programmes to produce graduates able to demonstrate such skills at acceptable levels of competence upon entry into the workplace. This study investigates the manner in which SAICA-accredited South African universities offer and teach pervasive skills, and attempts to determine whether heads of departments have identified the teaching of these skills as being the responsibility of the university, or not. These views were solicited through an e-mailed questionnaire. The study found that although the development of pervasive skills is an outcome largely included in these accredited undergraduate programmes, their presentation and integration into the courses vary considerably, and more integration of pervasive skills into course majors should be considered. Teaching methods and practices followed by the universities show significant diversity, and this result corresponds with those reported elsewhere in the literature. It is a concern that there is only limited use of research-based projects in these undergraduate programmes. An interesting finding of the study was that heads of departments perceive the acquisition of some pervasive skills to be best achieved in the real-world, practical workplace, rather than in the theoretical confines of the universities’ lectures and tutorials.

This study aims at (1) describing the rules of the passive voice in Indonesian and Japanese languages, (2) finding the markers of passive sentences in Indonesian and Japanese languages, (3) describing the similarities and differences of passive sentences in Indonesian and Japanese. The data is collected by the descriptive method. The method of data analysis is a contrastive analysis. The result of data analysis is presented by method Indonesian passivization explained by the change of morphology on the verb, for example, Indonesian language passive using markers di-, ter- and ke-an. Meanwhile, Japanese language passivization is described by verbs and nouns functioning as objects in passive sentences. Japanese verbs consist of consonant verbs, vowel verbs, and irregular verbs. Passive sentences in the Japanese language are marked by marker ni + V-areru for consonant verbs, markers ni + V-areru for vocal verbs, ni + V-areru for irregular verbs, and ni + yotte V-areru/V-rareru for verbs that are followed as object inanimate nouns. Similarly, there are two passivizations in Japanese: passivization using the direct object and the indirect object. However, the indirect passivization of the Japanese can use transitive verbs or intransitive verbs. Japanese passive sentences express the completion of an action and an unpleasant meaning. In comparison, the Japanese passive sentence is not used as regularly as Indonesian passive because Japanese passive tends to express a point of view first person. In addition, another difference between passive sentences in Indonesian and Japanese is that in Japanese it is important to know the subject.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
