Discussion on bilingual textbook construction for the introduction to traffic engineering

Under the background of engineering education certification and education internationalization, bilingual teaching for professional courses is very important to improve students’ international communication abilities and obtain international education certification in professional fields. The construction of bilingual textbooks is a prerequisite for bilingual teaching. This paper introduces the general requirements followed in the construction of bilingual textbooks, such as the idea of outcome-based education (OBE), the establishment of correct ideological and political ideas, a reasonable combination with online teaching resources, and innovative localization of original English textbooks. Based on the above principles, the chapters are rearranged in the bilingual textbook for the introduction to traffic engineering. According to the course characteristics of the introduction to traffic engineering, the way to implement the OBE concept, ideological and political education, and an open bilingual teaching system in the bilingual textbook construction are discussed. All these provide valuable references for the construction of bilingual textbooks for similar professional courses.

The Mapping of Meaning Components of Phrases about Plants in Indonesian and English Translation

This research aims at finding the types of procedures applied in translating Indonesian plant phrases into English, as well as analyzing the mapping of meaning components of the phrases from the source language to the target language. The data source is a bilingual biology textbook for senior high school students. The data in this study are in the form of two-word noun phrases about plants. Data were collected using observation method, random sampling method, and note-taking technique. The data were analyzed by using theories of translation procedures proposed by Vinay and Darbelnet and Natural Semantic Metalanguage. The result showed that the types of translation procedures applied are transposition and literal translation. The meaning components of the phrases of the source language are mostly transferred to the target language.

CLIL: graphic organisers and concept maps for noun identification within bilingual primary education natural science subject textbooks

ABSTRACT Though concept maps and graphic organisers are useful tools for bilinguals to organise the information being managed and learned, its systematic use is not widened and decisive in CLIL domains. Apart from helping students to acquire meaningful learning, concept mapping might promote in them word-recognition skills for the identification and management of relevant information within foreign language (L2) texts. Hence, this article inquires into the influence of concept maps and graphic organisers as tools for noun category identification from L2 texts. Research sample comprises sixty Spanish primary education students from a bilingual school. Design is quasi-experimental, and the training programme lasted three weeks. Materials used during the training period are not exceptional, but the ordinarily found in regular classrooms. Data gathering procedure consists of the identification and circling of nouns by sample participants. As a starting point, secondary data as the intelligent quotient, learning style, and English level is collected via standardised tests. The analysis of the variance showed a highly significant interaction between the groups and the implemented texts both for noun identification (F 3.171 = 12.124, p < 0.000, η 2 = 0.175), and the grammatical categories mistakenly identified as nouns (F 3.171 = 3.840, p < 0.016, η 2 = 0.063).

The Impact of Translation Method and Shift on Translation Quality at Bilingual Textbooks of Physics, Mathematics and History

The first goal of the research was to figure out translation methods and shifts applied in translating bilingual textbooks of History, Mathematics, and Physics, Those bilingual textbooks were published by Quadra, Yramawidia, and Yudhisthira, used for grade seven in Medan. The second was to figure out the impact of translation methods and shifts which dominant on translation quality. The third was to recommend better bilingual textbooks to use based on the translation quality point of view. The research used a descriptive qualitative research method with a questionnaire, depth-interview, and observation on a pair of translation to collect the data. The data were analyzed with interactively and non-interactively. Based on the data analysis, the research finds that (1) the dominant shift on History textbook is unit shift while the dominant method is a free translation, the dominant shift on Physics is a unit shift and dominant method is a communicative translation, the dominant shift on Mathematics is structure shift and dominant method is communicative translation. The second finding is that the impact of the dominant translation shift and method on the History textbook is negative. At the same time, in Mathematics and Physics are positive. Third, the research; the researcher recommends bilingual textbooks of Mathematics and Physics to use based on translation quality point of view. The well bilingual textbooks can improve students’ language skills, while low translation quality influences bad development to students on learning the language.

The first schoolbook for the Ladin schools: historical background and didactic description

This article presents the first known schoolbook printed especially for the elementary schools in the Badia valley (Ladinia, South Tyrol). It is a bilingual textbook for the parallel teaching of the languages Italian and German, realized at the end of the 19th century, printed in two volumes in 1906 and 1907. Above all, the article examines the historical context, in which the book was born, deepening the so-called «Enneberger Schulstreit», the virulent conflict between 1870 and 1895 regarding the use and teaching of languages in the schools of the Badia valley. Then the two authors, the teachers Peter Detomaso and Remigio Antoniolli, are presented. The central part of the article consists in a comparison of the «Ladin» book with the declared model of the work, the «Metodo pratico» of Giovanni Dolinar. Linguistic aspects (e.g.: grammar, spelling, characters/writing types, readings, writing compositions) and didactic aspects (e.g.: aims and objectives, suggestions for the teacher, proposed didactic methodologies), as well as contents (e.g.: religious texts, civics texts and historical, geographical, scientific texts) and the global structure of the book, are studied in depth.

Importance of Bilingual Textbook in Logistics for International Cooperation Between China and Russia

The economic progress of the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation is more dependent on improving the interaction of logistics professionals. Their communication through translators increases the transaction costs of interaction. To eliminate them and reduce the training time for Chinese and Russian logisticians who are able to solve professional problems without intermediaries through personal exchange of information. The traditional use for this English is not optimal. The situation when native speakers of two languages use the third language for communication leads to the fact that the conceptual fields of native speakers do not enrich each other and bind them to the third language, which makes it impossible to reveal the potential of the two languages in their direct interaction. It is proposed to use a Chinese-Russian bilingual textbook based on the parallel text method to train specialists in the field of logistics. Bilingual training expands the boundaries of thinking of a future specialist in the subject area, teaches him to see the essence of processes from the standpoint of different cultures. The theory of creating bilingual textbooks for subject areas as applied to any pair of languages is currently lacking. The features of the Russian and Chinese languages, as well as the characteristic features of the cultures of the two peoples, exacerbate the difficulties of solving the task. To accumulate empirical material, the authors of the article co-authored with Professor S. A. Uvarov was the first multivolume textbook in the history of Chinese and Russian—a bilingual on logistics, and his first volume was published. In a book prepared using the technology of "bilingua", the pages are divided into two columns. The first column contains text in one language, and the second contains text translation into another language. The practical use of the first volume of the textbook—Logistics Bilinguals has already shown the increased effectiveness of teaching Chinese students who are training at the Russian Baltic State Technical University, located in St. Petersburg in a joint program with Changchun University.

“Russian author” in 1739: Gottlieb Bayer, Ivan Taubert and the First Steps of Russian School Literary Canon

In the 1730s, the administration of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences redesigned the program of study at the Academy’s gymnasium. Their goal was to create an institution capable of preparing specialists not only for the Academy itself, but also for the civil service, which required people educated in both Russian and German. The regulation ( reglament ) developed by Georg Krafft in 1739, besides preserving the previous division of the gymnasium into Latin and German departments, redesigned the instruction offered by the German department to form a full curriculum, in which Russian-style instruction was as important as mastering the German language. This visionary project put together classes in which pupils whose native language was Russian would study in the same classroom as students whose native language was German, which led the Academy to develop a corpus of bilingual (German/Russian) textbooks. A key element of the syllabus was the study of “a Russian author” (analogous to the well-developed system of “reading authors” in European Latin schools), the first time this method had been introduced in a Russian school. Gottlieb Siegfried Bayer’s “Azov History” ( Begebenheiten von Azow , 1736–37), translated into Russian by Ivan Taubert (1737), was chosen as the set text. The whole syllabus provided by Krafft’s 1739 gymnasium regulation, as well as the book-selling practice of the Academy in the early 1740s, makes it clear that the selection of Bayer's book was not coincidental — it corresponded well to the Russian reading public's ideas about proper verbal composition. The marginal status of verse (poetry) in this structure, combined with the actors’ attention to questions of style, provide the basis for a new narrative for Russian literary history of the 1730s, centered around the collective work of the translators of the under-studied Russian Society ( Rossijskoe sobranie ), established in 1735. Such a narrative would consider the whole catalogue of books published by the Academy, whether in Russian or in other languages. DOI: 10.31168/2305-6754.2019.8.2.6

Model dvojezičnega pouka v Prekmurju in slovar kot didaktični pripomoček

Model dvojezične vzgoje in izobraževanja sodi med dvosmerne modele ohranjanja dveh jezikov in kultur. V prvem delu prispevka predstavljamo uspešno uresničevanje dvojezičnega vzgojno-izobraževalnega procesa v Prekmurju s kratkim razvojnim lokom in izpostavimo najpomembnejše pogoje za njegovo izvajanje, vključno s podprtostjo izobraževanja učiteljev. Nato se posvetimo ključnim pomankljivostim modela: nedodelanosti didaktične plati dvojezičnega pouka in neustrezni usposobljenost učiteljev dvojezičnih šol na tem območju. Ena najpomembnejših poti do učinkovite usvojitve (strokovno)jezikovne strukture in uporabe jezika so dvojezični učbeniki in drugi učni pripomočki. Pri rabi učnih pripomočkov gre za zahtevno in pomembno spretnost, zato je ključnega pomena, da se učitelji, pa tudi učenci, dodatno usposobijo za delo z njimi. Slovar kot didaktični pripomoček ni zgolj sredstvo za informiranje, ampak osnova za razvijanje spretnosti na različnih jezikovni ravneh. Na podlagi teh ugotovitev v drugem delu prispevka najprej podajamo pregled obstoječih dvojezičnih madžarsko-slovenskih oz. slovensko-madžarskih slovarjev in ostalih učnih gradiv, nato pa predstavimo dva nedavna projekta, katerih cilji so usmerjeni v izdelavo dvojezičnih slovarjev, učnih gradiv in izboljševanje kompetenc učiteljev v dvojezičnih šolah v Prekmurju. V zaključku strnemo glavne ugotovitve in ponudimo razmisleke o naslednjih korakih za izboljšavo dvojezičnega modela izobraževanja.

This article explores research results on challenges and problems of schools textbooks for nonGeorgian schools in Georgia. The desk research and focus group discussions research methods were utilized in the study. The research revealed interesting patterns on problems of schools textbooks for minority schools, specifically: a) the problem of quality of translation of the textbooks; (b) The school textbooks contain stereotyped material as well as diversity of Georgia and intercultural aspects are not reflected in school textbooks. Some paragraphs in schools textbooks contain discriminative elements toward different minorities. (c) The portion of the material in the state language in bilingual textbooks is difficult for pupils to understand because neither the pupils and teachers nor parents speak the state language well enough to incorporate the material in teaching and learning process. The research findings have important practical and educational implications. The author argues that, it is crucially important to make the policy changes for improvement of school textbooks for minority schools in order to achieve the goal of civil integration of ethnic minorities through educational system. Introduction Georgia is located on the Black Sea’s eastern coast at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe. Georgia borders Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Turkey. Georgia has a population of about 4,585,874 (Tabatadze, 2015). Georgia is a multiethnic country. According to the 2002 census, ethnic Georgians make up 83.8% of the total population, while other ethnic groups account for 15.2%. A complicating factor with regard to ethnic minorities is that there are big differences between minority groups in terms of population and types of settlement (compact or dispersed), and the level of their integration into the country's social and political life. Ethnic enclaves (compact settlements of minorities) are situated in four regions of Georgia: Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Kvemo Kartli, and SamtskheJavakheti. There is also a Kist (ethnic group related to Chechens) community in Kakheti's
