Utilising a qualitative case study approach, this research study set out to understand discrimination experienced by immigrant students in their interactions with South African students and the prejudice immigrant students expressed against Black South African students. Findings reveal that the discrimination experienced by immigrant students could be clustered into four broad themes, namely categorisations and prototypes; practised stereotypes; academic and social exclusion; and work ethic. Furthermore, statements immigrant students make about South African students seem to fall into two broad categories, namely lack of value for moral integrity and lack of value for education. Educating students to value human dignity and to view each other as cosmopolitan citizens of the world could be a way to ensure social cohesion and harmony of future generations to come.

Translation as a field of study is fairly new in South Africa because before 1994, the official languages were English and Afrikaans and everybody was expected to know and use those languages. Consequently, there is not much about translation practice that is written by South African authors. Following this, translation books from outside South Africa are generally used and prescribed, thus stifling inherent experiences, since little is written by the South Africans themselves.  A total number of 46 language practice students participated in this quantitative study. This study explored challenges encountered by first year language practice students, when using their prescribed book, at the Central University of Technology, Welkom Campus. Results indicated that students were not benefitting maximally from using the prescribed book, which is by any standard an excellent book. The socio-cultural experiences of the students were missing, thus prevent students’ from mastering the subject content better. From the data collected, it is recommended, amongst other recommendations, that a bias towards books reflecting South African experiences be prioritized as well as also allowing students to participate in making book choices.

SummaryThis paper explores new ways to write history that engages with the lives of animals. It offers a sample card of how social history can be enriched by focusing on history from an animal perspective – and equally, how the tools provided by social history reveals the historicity of animals. The case study is drawn from South African history and the focus is on horses. The paper firstly proposes that horses changed human history not only on the macro-level, but in the small, intimate arena of the bodily, following Febvre’s call for a sensory history. Secondly, this paper explores social history’s long-time concern with agency and with understanding socio-cultural experiences from the perspective of those who actually lived them – in this case, from an equine perspective. Thirdly, the paper asks how social history that takes animals seriously might be written and might offer a fresh dimension to our understanding, with examples from the most analysed event in southern African historiography, the South African War (1899–1902).

Bu çalışma; Türkiye’ye dış göçle gelen Irak, Afganistan, Yemen, Suriye, Azerbaycan, Rusya ve diğer (dış göçle Balkanlar ve Ortadoğu Ülkelerinden gelenler) yabancı uyruklu göçmen öğrencilerin Türk öğrencilere karşı duygusal mesafe durumlarını belirlemek üzere yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın evreni 2018-2019 öğretim yılında İstanbul ili Avcılar ilçesinde resmi liselerde okuyan yabancı uyruklu göçmen öğrencilerdir. Araştırmanın örneklemi ise, 2018-2019 öğretim yılı İstanbul ili Avcılar ilçesindeki devlet okullarında okuyan 125 yabancı uyruklu göçmen öğrenci olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada yabancı uyruklu göçmen öğrencilerin Türk öğrencilere karşı duygusal mesafe düzeylerini belirlemek için Hasan Yılmaz tarafından geliştirilen Ötekine Karşı Duygusal Mesafe Ölçeği ve belirlenen bazı değişkenlere ilişkin verileri toplamak için araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. İlişkisel tarama modeliyle elde edilen bulgulardan dış göçle gelen yabancı uyruklu göçmen öğrencilerin Türk öğrencilere karşı duygusal yakınlık düzeyinde; cinsiyetlerine göre  kız öğrencilerin, sınıf düzeyine göre yüksek sınıf düzeyinde olanların, anne–baba eğitim düzeyine göre eğitim düzeyi yüksek olanların, televizyon izleme düzeyine göre Türkçe televizyon izleme süresi yüksek olanların lehine anlamlı farklılık  saptanmıştır.ABSTRACT IN ENGLISHAnalysing Immigrant Students’ Emotional Distance To Turkish Students in Turkey: Case of Avcilar in İstanbulThe purpose of this study is to determine emotional distance states in high school students who emigrated to Turkey from Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Azerbaijan, Russia and Balkans and Middle Eastern countries towards Turkish students. The research universe consisted of the immigrant students who currently study in state high schools in Avcilar, Istanbul in 2018-2019 academic year. The scale of Emotional Distance towards the others was used to define the emotional distance states of the immigrant students towards Turkish students and a personal information form which was created by the researchers was used to collect data about some defined variables.
