Innovative development of mining regions is undoubtedly determined by efficient specialists in mining engineering, ecology and natural resources management. Due to close integration and economic relations of Kemerovo Region, a leading mining region in Russia, with the adjacent states of Central Asia many young people from Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan have chosen Kemerovo Region universities to get higher education necessary to develop mining industry in their native countries. Taking higher education courses there they are to study English via Russian as an intermediate language, both languages being foreign to them. To assist themselves in studying the subject, international students from Central Asia use a “crossover” translation technique by means of machine translation at EFL lessons. The assessment of the technique has been carried out and some advice is given to both international students from Central Asia and teachers of EFL. Practical value of the “crossover” translation technique promotes training efficient specialists for mining industry capable to learn and apply advanced technologies for innovative development of Central Asia mining regions.

Faculty Burnout

In this paper, we investigate the factors that affect burnout of faculty, which we refer to as “academic fatigue”, in the context of the business professors in the highly competitive and globalized market of the United Arab Emirates, which, unlike the United States, does not offer tenure to professors. It is the first paper to addresses an increasingly important area in the higher education sector in the UAE where increasing competition between institutions, the financial pressure on universities, and government funding cuts are having a knockdown effect on all parts of the higher education supply chain, including faculty. Data was collected from business faculty in a major UAE public university using a quantitative survey that designed based on Maslach Burnout Inventory MBI Educators Survey (MBI-ES). We find that while purely aspects of financial compensation (including satisfaction with pay, pay for performance sensitivity, and merit pay allocation) are not significantly related to faculty burnout, faculty satisfaction with the research and teaching workload reduces burnout significantly.  Our results do not support the academic capitalism paradigm in a strict financial sense, but rather in a holistic sense that incorporates non-financial compensation. Key Words: Academic Capitalism; Faculty Burnout; United Arab Emirates; Higher Education; depersonalization; stress; tenure.

When marketing online degrees, institutions are simultaneously telling a story about what it means to be a student at that institution and about what it means to be an online learner. This study is an attempt to investigate and interrogate those stories, to analyze how we talk about online learning and to explore whether that linguistic framing is consistent with a broader socioeconomic critique of academic capitalism in the 21st Century. Using critical discourse and multimodal analysis, I examined the institutional websites devoted to the promotion and marketing of online programs at 18 public universities with high exclusively online enrollment (>4,000). This project describes the consistencies and contradictions embedded in the language and visual artifacts used to market and sell online learning to prospective students in the United States. I explored how these discourses reinforced and reconstituted broader social and lived realities of labor, time, and space. Placing online higher education as a phenomenon within the social context of neoliberalism, and academic capitalism, this study contributes a much-needed critical perspective to the intersection of two areas of inquiry in higher education research, online learning and institutional marketing.
