Is a One-Way English Immersion Teaching Approach Equitable to Those Chinese Non-English Major Students from Rural Areas?

English is a compulsory course for students in China from primary education to postgraduate education. Recently more and more policymakers at Chinese universities have been forcing English education to be performed using a one-way English immersion approach. In their views, the more English practices in English classes, the better the learners’ learning performance will be. This study adopts a hermeneutics research method, a questionnaire survey and some interviews to investigate the question whether a one-way English immersion teaching approach is equitable to those from rural areas. It finds that this teaching approach is inequitable to those from rural areas in at least three aspects, including increasing their economic burdens, decreasing their English acquisition confidences, and mismatching with their career requirements. The study calls for Chinese policymakers to alter their urban-centered viewpoints toward English education, and English teachers to enrich the English teaching approaches in the future and pay more attention to the future career requirements of those from rural areas.

A Three-Year Improvement Assessment of Project-Based Learning for an Antennas and Propagation Course [Education Corner]

Antennas and propagation constitute one of the compulsory courses for students in the communication engineering program at many universities. At Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Uni-MAP), a new project-based learning (PBL) approach has been implemented in the teaching and lab instruction of this class. Besides imparting the latest antenna technology in the form of textile antennas to the students, this hands-on approach has proved to increase students' interest and understanding of the main elements of the curriculum. PBL is applied during 14 weeks in the form of laboratory sessions. Through the first four weeks, basic antenna laboratory sessions are conducted to introduce students to the principles of antennas and their design, fabrication, and measurement procedures. Moreover, students are then required to fabricate their own unique antennas using textiles and manual tools available in the lab, a process that consumes less time compared to making antennas from normal printed circuit boards. An analysis of how well the course outcomes (COs) were achieved and the final results of the students was performed for three years. The conclusions indicate that, using PBL, student performance increased, with an average increment of 5% in the CO attainment.

SLAVIC TRANSLATIONS OF BIBLE TEXTSOF THE 16 TH – EARLY 20 CENTURY: TO THE GLOBAL YEAR OF THE BIBLE TH

2020 A. D. has been declared Global Year of the Bible. The main goal of such an initiative is to promote translations and editions of Holy Scripture as well as to expand the cultural horizons of mankind. At all times, the Bible was one of the most popular books being translated into different languages and reprinted in all Christian countries. The Scientific Library of the Odessa I. I. Mechnikov National University contains a valuable collection of biblical texts published in different languages. This article presents Slavic translations of the Bible and biblical texts. The presence of translations of biblical texts in the stocks of the of the Scientific Library of Odessa I. I. Mechnikov National University can be regarded as an evidence of the development of the Library as an auxiliary subdivision of a higher education institution focused on providing the educational process with appropriate literature. Since Theology was a subject taught at Novorossiysky University, and professors of the department of Theology taught a compulsory course for students of all faculties and special courses on Christianity and other religions, biblical texts in translations were necessary for teaching University disciplines. Significantly fewer biblical texts were acquired by the Library in Soviet times, when Theology as a discipline was not available, but biblical texts were necessary in order to study the History of religion and Atheism. The experience of Christian churches shows that translations of Holy Scripture into modern literary language serve as an integral part of the dialogue between tradition and modernity: translations of the Bible and biblical texts are in demand not only for a more accessible perception of the Word of the Lord by believers, but also for studying the foundations and history of the Christian religion by everybody.

Quantification of Influences on Student Perceptions of Group Work

This study quantifies the impact of various factors influencing the cohesiveness, learning experience and enjoyment of group work. Analysis is undertaken of 206 responses to a survey of students in a compulsory course for students taking a degree in actuarial science at the Australian National University. An ordered logit model is used to explicitly quantify the effect of various exogenous and endogenous factors on perceptions of group work. Whilst many students say that their expectations of group work are dependent on the students they work with, student perceptions of group work don’t tend to change even with a change in group composition. Rather students’ expectations on enjoyment of group work, and the role a student takes within a group has a much larger impact on group work experience. Comments are made on appropriate course and group structures to have the best chance for effective group work, especially given the importance that students expect to enjoy group work.
