In English-Colonized Caribbean and other English-based vernacular-influenced speech settings, the issues faced by practitioners in teaching English are not about whose English but more about which method? This preoccupation with the notion of an appropriate ESL methodology has stifled the growth of teacher-constructed methods. This chapter departs from teachers' call for clichéd ESL/EFL method towards teachers' envisioning and implementation of innovations for targeting, attaining, and sustaining the use of English inside and outside the classroom. The findings are indicating that when these innovations in the use of English are constructed and centered on what schools and students excel in, there is room for the creation of an alternative to method and the growth of an indigenous pedagogy for sustaining the use of English in TESOL in vernacular speech settings.

This paper presents a framework for teaching English in synchronous computer-mediated environments. This research shows the components of the framework, how it materializes in the teachers' pedagogical practices, and in the students' perceptions of lessons designed using the framework. The sources of data for this investigation are a questionnaire for students, in-depth interviews with teachers, and an analysis of the transcripts of synchronous sessions that were planned and executed using the framework. This investigation presents suitable guidelines to plan, carry out, and close lessons delivered synchronously. This study shows that when the framework is used, it helps teachers plan activities, and it supports the creation of a suitable environment for learning English online. This investigation also shows that when the framework is employed, it promotes a risk-free environment. It encourages collaboration, and it fosters the linking of ideas and the comprehension of fundamental concepts.

Managerial Activity

The implementation of pedagogical innovations becomes a required condition to enhance the quality of the education and competitive potential of an educational institution at the market of educational service, and it requires qualified management of its innovation activity. However, pedagogical employees stand against innovations, and in scientific literature it is called an anti-innovation barrier.The purpose of the paper is to consider the issue of overcoming anti-innovation barriers as a component of managerial activity in educational institutions.The work is aimed at coping with psychological barriers in educational institutions that can be made in the following directions: the change of value orientation of educators; the correction of motivation of the members of the teachers’ staff; the creation of new exemplars of individual behavior of educators; the formation of readiness of the members of the teachers’ staff for innovation activity.Systematic monitoring of educators’ readiness to accept innovations, its step-by-step studying should precede the implementation of all the mentioned directions. The administration of an educational institution is to organize explanatory and educational work on a regular basis, to provide pedagogical employees with comprehensive information about the performance of the educational institutions where successful implementation of innovations has taken place. A keystone of a successful introduction of innovations is the creation of “an innovation climate” – an external environment that forms educators’ attitude to innovations, to attract those educators who do not accept innovations to the planning of the stages of their introduction. The organization of the measures directed towards the increase of the professional competence of those educators who are involved in the implementation of innovation activity is a vitally important component in the management that is aimed at overcoming anti-innovation barriers. The task of the administration of an educational institution is to create the conditions, which will motivate teachers to improve their professional skills and to study an advanced experience. Keywords: management of an educational institution; management of an innovation activity; innovation activity; anti-innovation barriers; innovation climate; implementation of innovations; value orientations; pedagogical activity.

Student / learner-created or student / learner-centred / generated content in the teaching of languages for specific purposes (LSP) is one of the possible ways-out of the intricate maze in which LSP lecturers often find themselves when dealing with a professional content different from their own. Lecturers of languages for specific purposes, mostly experts in linguistics or literature of a foreign language, are usually faced with professions different from theirs when they start their LSP adventure and are forced to master to a certain extent the profession whose language they intend to teach. Still, keeping abreast with the latest in a profession different from the LSP lecturers' own is a demanding and often hardly feasible task. Maritime English (ME) is used in an environment to which ME lecturers hardly have access, i.e. on board ocean-going and inland craft worldwide. The lecturer has to take a detour, insist on eliciting information from the professionals in the field and keep pace with the actual language requirements to meet. It still remains difficult to find adequate content for LSP purposes as the lecturer feels like a hurdles runner in a different profession field. Students interested in their future profession can often do better in this sense and should be engaged in the creation of course materials and their presentation in class. LSP lecturers should remain in their own field of the (language) coach, while students should actually run their race through the LSP course. Some ideas based in Maritime English are presented as an example of why and how student-created / centred content has become one of the principal approaches in the teaching / learning of Maritime English at the Faculty of Maritime Studies (FMS) in Split, Croatia and Gdynia Maritime University (GMU) in Gdynia, Poland.

Speaking Skills

We consider the issue of the influence of the development of speaking skills on the creation of a situation of success in English lessons. The study shows the relevance of the study by studying theoretical material and conducting a survey, which revealed that the majority of students in grades 8–9 are not interested in learning a foreign language. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate the creation of a situation of success in an English lesson by mastering the ability to speak and to prove its influence on the growth of motivation of this contingent of schoolchildren to study this subject. The main research methods are survey and experiment. The results of the study are described: the motivation of students to learn English increased by 45,3 %. The scope of application of the results of the work varies from teaching English in preschool education, then in school, higher educational institutions, up to refresher courses. It is proved that speaking seems to be one of the most difficult skills for mastering, including for pupils of 8–9 grades. Creating a successful situation allows them to motivate them to learn English, which was confirmed by the experiment, and our survey showed an increase in the number of students interested in learning a foreign language from 19,5 to 64,8 %.

The paper considers the structure of the concept of innovation management from the standpoint of fundamental and marketing approaches. To implement the concept, the authors have developed classifications of innovations according to two groups of attributes: depending on the goals of creating innovations and depending on consumed and produced resources. The proposed classifications will help to solve specific problems facing the creation and implementation of innovations, which will lead to the improvement of the innovation process itself.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the generation of innovations by employees and the creation of initiative paths, and to discover which factors contribute to the implementation of an initiative. Design/methodology/approach Based on longitudinal qualitative research, the study explores the profiles of initiative paths and the types of innovations and relationships among the generated innovations. Findings It was found that, to become an innovation, an initiative followed different paths along which the processing and outcomes varied, as did the time needed for experimentation. The creation of initiative paths required the transformative agency of the actors involved. Power relations had an impact on the generation of initiatives and implementation of innovations. Originality/value Innovations research has concentrated on the generation of ideas and the implementation of innovations. This study focuses on the process path along which ideas become innovations and on the role of power relations in the innovations process.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
