The article is devoted to the genesis of personal and eponymous nicknames as a vivid phenomenon in the history of language and speech, which has irrefutable potential for developing methods of teaching and educating schoolchildren. The main varieties of nicknames, the conditions for their formation and the specifics of daily life in different historical periods are considered. The interconnections of nicknames with similar and related phenomena of Russian and European speech cultures are analyzed. The feasibility of analysing nicknames in the methodological practice of secondary school is postulated. Possible ways of the implementation of intrasubject and intersubject communications in the school teaching of humanities are offered on the basis of familiarizing students with the history of eponymous and personal nicknames.

A university degree is not enough in itself to equip a mathematics teacher for successful secondary school-teaching in the longer term. Without continuous training and career-long learning, a teacher will not be able to provide adequate support for students in activities such as extended essays or explorations, both of which are compulsory components of the IB programme. In this paper, we present some examples of such work by IB students at our school. In addition, some Slovenian secondary school students regularly participate in a national research competition for which they must submit project-based work in various fields. The present article describes how university departments co-operated with our secondary school in the course of such research. Examples of research carried out by a number of 16-year-old students at our school are also presented here.

Reading aloud supports vocabulary build-up, provides basic background knowledge of the text and motivates learners’ interest in the text even among adolescents. This paper explores classroom experiences of Senior One students (12-13 years) with reading aloud of Soyinka’s (2007) play The Trials of Brother Jero. The findings show that both the teacher and the learners performed clear roles during the reading exercise and this seemed to create a systematic classroom environment for reading aloud. However data also indicates that although many of the learners declared to find value in reading aloud, some learners did not participate in the activity due to various reasons. The classroom context and the nature of the text also seemed to affect the way reading aloud was implemented during the lessons.

RESUMENA pesar de la enorme inversión en recursos de todo tipo para lograr la alfabetización universal, los bajos niveles lectores alcanzados al finalizar la educación secundaría, así como los pobres hábitos de lectura en adultos, constituyen un problema y un reto de mejora en todas las sociedades desarrolladas. Este trabajo aborda esta cuestión y enfatiza la necesidad de evidenciar a los niños y niñas pequeños qué hay en los libros y qué representan, mucho antes de que aprendan a leer. Se presenta una breve revisión de investigaciones sobre los efectos y beneficios de la lectura en voz alta entre padres o educadores infantiles y niños, desde edad muy temprana, como estrategia compartida para oír los libros, a implementar mucho antes del aprendizaje formal del código escrito en las escuelas. Se describen los formatos y características de este tipo de interacción social desde la responsabilidad parental y se justifica su potencialidad y necesidad para hacer de la lectura una actividad placentera, también en situaciones de pobreza, exclusión social o diversidad funcional.Palabras Clave: alfabetización inicial, lectura compartida, lectura dialógica, lectura en voz alta, lectura emergente.ABSTRACTThe low reader level achieved at the end of the secondary school education and the poor level of reading habits at adults is a problema and a challenge of improvement in all developed societies despite the enormous investment in all kinds of resources to achieve universal literacy. This paper addresses this issue and it emphasizes the need to show young children what is in the books and what they represent, long time before they learn to read. We present a brief review of researches about the effects and benefits of reading aloud among parents, educators and children from a very early age. It is a shared strategy to listen to books, to be implemented long before the formal learning of written code in schools. It describes the formats and characteristics of this type of social interaction from parental responsibility and it justifies its potentiality and need to make reading a pleasant activity, also in situations of poverty, social exclusión or functional diversity.Keywords: nitial literacy, shared reading, dialogic reading, reading aloud, emergent reading
