Der Sprachpluralismus und die Sprachpflege in Algerischen Theater: Der Fall des Theaterstückes „El Ajouad“ von Abdelkader Alloula

Linguistic Pluralism and Language Maintenancein the Algerian theatre: The case of the play "El Ajouad" by Abdelkader Alloula
 This article is primarily intended as a linguistic contribution within the large and diverse complex of Alloula's research, including literary, linguistic and theater results.Brecht is one of the central figures in international theater history, both as a theater practitioner and playwright and as an important theoretician and aesthetician. He had a strong influence on the German language and had an effect on it. Thanks to this dual competence as a practitioner and a theoretician, Brecht presents an extremely interesting subject of investigation.The well-known Algerian dramaturge Abdelkader Alloula was inspired by Brecht. He said this publicly in a conversation with university teacher and researcher Mhamed Djellid(Oktober 1985 ; 10):“Brecht was and remains a role model in my work through his theoretical writings and his artistic work. I will even say that he is my spiritual father and better still my friend and my faithful companion”.Like Brecht, Abdelakder Alloula worked on the Algerian language so creatively, cultivated it so passionately and nurtured it from the soil of the standard written language. In the piece "El Ajouad" there is a lot to say and also to learn about this language work.

Practicing What We Preach: Balancing Teaching and Clinical Practice Competencies

Most nurse educators fulfill dual roles of clinical practitioner and teacher and thus have to achieve a balance between these two challenging sets of competencies. The authors discuss the obligation and expectation that nurse educators are concurrently experts in clinical practice and education. Is this dual competence a feasible and sustainable goal? To begin to explore this issue, the meanings of 'expert practice' and 'practice competence,' derived from the nursing education literature, are reviewed. Current professional practice competency requirements related to the nurse educator role are discussed. Questions are raised regarding support for and barriers to achieving these competencies. The potential challenges and rewards of this endeavour are presented and illustrated by two nurse educators who share their stories of achieving a balance in teaching and clinical practice competence. Finally, implications for nurse educators and directions for future research into this issue are proposed.

Econometrics as observation: the Lucas critique and the nature of econometric inference

Kevin Hoover (1955–) received a D.Phil. in economics from Oxford University after an undergraduate major in philosophy, and his work reflects this dual competence. He has contributed both to contemporary economics (especially macroeconomics) and to economic methodology, serving for a decade as the editor of The Journal of Economic Methodology . After more than two decades at the University of California, Davis, Hoover is now a professor of economics and a professor of philosophy at Duke University. The Lucas Critique Perhaps the principal challenge to the use of econometric models in economic analysis is the policy non-invariance argument, popularly known as the ‘Lucas critique’. Robert Lucas (1976) attacks the use of econometric models as bases for the evaluation of policy on the grounds that the estimated equations of such models are unlikely to remain invariant to the very changes in policy that the economist seeks to evaluate. The argument is originally cast as an implication of rational expectations. Among the constraints people face are the policy rules of the government. If people are rational, then, when these rules change, and if the change is correctly perceived, they take proper account of the change in adjusting their behavior. The rational expectations hypothesis implies that changes in policy will in fact be correctly perceived up to a serially uncorrelated error.

Teacher Preparation in the Education of Visually Impaired Children: A Multi-Competency Approach

For more than a decade, the University of Northern Colorado has been preparing teachers of visually impaired children with full and equal competencies in both academic instruction and orientation and mobility. This dual competency approach was developed in response to needs in the sparsely populated states of the Rocky Mountain/Great Plains region. Increased emphasis on services for the deaf-blind and other multiply handicapped visually impaired children resulted in the development of an additional component of teacher training. In 1978, UNC's graduate program expanded to include a third competency with severely/profoundly handicapped blind children. This article discusses the rationale and development of each competency area, follow-up studies of effectiveness, and program options.
