AbstractThe subject of entrepreneurial attitudes, orientation and potential of young students is one of great interest in approaching the way public policies can be designed in order to support and foster entrepreneurship among students. In addressing this need - with focus on doctoral students, and in the framework of other similar approaches in literature, we have conducted a survey in January 2012 and developed a sample-based study. The papers aims to present and defend the results of this study, by emphasizing Romanian doctoral students’ attitudes and facts concerning issues such as: entrepreneurial background, interest in entering entrepreneurship, on-going steps if any, factors and motivations driving the choice of an entrepreneurial career. There are also investigated some personal characteristics (age, gender, family status) in relation with entrepreneurial approaches and there are also presented concluding remarks and policy recommendations.

The aim of the research presented in the paper is the empirical study of the semantic attitudes and life meanings of students in the perception of advertising posters. Advertising impact is viewed as a process of broadcasting the meanings concentrated in advertising posters. The study sample consisted of 80 students from two universities (Rostov-on-Don, Russia). To determine the severity of life meanings, the method of life meanings was used by V.Yu. Kotlyakov (V.Yu. Kotlyakov, 2003), the method of expert assessments was used to study advertising posters. The results were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics: descriptive statistics were used; as well as nonparametric tests for comparing several independent samples, the Kruskal-Wallis H-test, for studying the relationships between the scales of V.Yu. Kotlyakov and the assessment of advertising posters by the respondents used the Spearmans rank correlation coefficient. It was shown that in the process of broadcasting meanings in advertising posters, students semantic attitudes are actualized. The sample of students showed a tendency to evaluate advertising posters in accordance with the dominant meanings of life. It is shown that there is a relationship between the dominant life meanings of students and the ratings of advertising posters.

Learning English

Over the past decades, the monolingual (English-only) approach to English language teaching and learning has prevailed. In recent years, however, the trend of using students’ first language (L1) in teaching and learning English as a foreign language has re-emerged. However, the research on the use of L1 in teaching English for specific purposes is far from extensive. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of Slovene as the students’ L1 in teaching and learning Business English at tertiary level. The specific objectives were to determine the students’ attitudes towards the teachers’ and the students’ use of Slovene during Business English lessons and the students’ use of Slovene in learning Business English. The present study was quantitative, with data gathered via a questionnaire. The results show that, on the one hand, there is some inclination towards the use of L1 both in class and during their study of Business English. On the other hand, the preference towards the use of predominantly (or exclusively) English in class is also present and is positively correlated with the level of students’ knowledge of English. The results are of value to English language teachers as they suggest the contexts in which students’ L1 could be used in the process of teaching and learning English for specific purposes.

This paper explores the attitudes of Serbian tertiary-level EFL students towards doing a particular type of language exercise, a cloze test, and their attitudes towards music-based cloze tests in particular, as well as their general attitudes towards the inclusion of music into EFL classes at university level of study. It is comprised of two parts. The theoretical part reviews reference materials related to significant effects of music on FL learning in general and EFL learning in particular. The empirical part presents the results of the empirical research conducted with fourth-year students of the English Department, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Niš. The method used was descriptive together with the scaling technique and the five-level Likert scale consisting of 5 items. The first two items tested the students’ attitudes towards conventional cloze tests, the third item examined their attitude towards music-based cloze tests, and the remaining two items tested the students’ attitudes towards the integration of music-based exercises into EFL classes and the beneficial effects of music on EFL learning. The results of the empirical research confirmed the starting premise, i.e. that tertiary-level EFL students consider cloze tests important for the improvement of their proficiency in English and that they agree with the statement that the use of music in their classes is beneficial for improving their skills.
