Linguistics, Literary Studies and Communication: A Digital Perspective: A Festschrift for

Literature serves many functions in the society. As a mirror of the society, it gives an image of that society, which may be true or distorted, either in reality or perceived as distorted by the society as a whole. As a lamp, literature helps us to imagine alternative realities or new pathways in which we may walk. George Orwell’s 1984, a prognostication of governments’ intrusion into citizen’s privacy has become a reality in our day: with the emergence of the “Internet of Things”, Orwell’s Big Brother is now truly watching us. Against the backdrop of literary imagination becoming scientific reality, this paper investigates how nanotechnology has been and is being imagined in literature. 120 works of fiction in different media: movies and movie series, novel, comics/other media, cartoon, computer games, short story, are analysed to provide answers to the following questions: is nanotechnology imagined as a force for good or evil? How legitimate are these “prognostications” in the light of current realities? Literary conceptualizations of nanotechnology are ambivalent at best, and horrifying at the worst. This leads us to conclude that the prospects of nanotechnology give us a cause to pause.

Undergraduate Seminar: Study Guide

Undergraduate Seminar: Study Guide

This study guide tackles about what is in the undergraduate seminar course in which students are expected to present a seminar paper as the ultimate course outcome. Moreover, it presents what’s in the bigger picture, and that is, presenting the student’s research study in academic conferences and getting their research work published. When we talk about academic conferences and meetings, we don’t mean that students are to present their full-blown research study or their complete research outline. In this course (Undergraduate Seminar), the students are to present only their thesis outline. However, students are given salient points to look forward once they have completed their research study. Nowadays, knowing some terms and phrases are just one click away with the internet and Google, and signal, of course. Nevertheless, we will “spell out” some of the terms and phrases related to our subject (Undergraduate Seminar) in this study guide for fluidity sake.

A Questão duma Formação Integral e Integrada no Moçambique de Hoje

A Questão duma Formação Integral e Integrada no Moçambique de Hoje

A pessoa humana é o centro em torno do qual gravita a questão educativa. Do ponto de vista educativo, a formação da pessoa humana situa-se entre objectivo e exigência. É um objectivo enquanto o ensino visa a formação do homem e, é uma exigência na medida em que, as mudanças no presente século, o desenvolvimento tecnológico das sociedades, a proliferação de novos paradigmas de explicação da realidade numa autêntica tensão entre a modernidade e a pós-modernidade, a globalização e suas consequências, impõem à educação e aos educadores uma perspectiva formativa completamente complexa que é a da formação integral e integrada da pessoa humana. Não é fácil definir o que é uma formação integral e integrada por duas razões. A primeira é que a formação integral e integrada supera as dimensões de um simples conceito. A segunda é relativa a dinamicidade do problema. Ou seja, uma formação integral e integrada é sempre definida conforme as instâncias conjecturais do tempo e do espaço em que se encontra inserido “o ser-no-mundo” que se pretende formar

Mythology and Folklore: Study Guide

Mythology and Folklore: Study Guide

Myth in itself is very much associated with religious belief. In one way or another, it relates to some actual events and is partly traditional. When we talk of a thing or an event which is traditional in nature, more often than not, we cannot be sure of its origin. This is the reason why in the study of myths, “suspension of disbelief” serves as key to a substantial understanding. If you are a wide reader of mythology and folklore topics, you would discover that myth stories have similarities in themes and characterizations. You may even get to know more about the folk’s own version of creation story or values and beliefs handed down through oral tradition and by generation. It seems that we cannot call a certain province or town “cultured” if it does not have its own collection of mythical stories.

ELT Approaches, Methods, and Blended Learning: Study Guide

ELT Approaches, Methods, and Blended Learning: Study Guide

This ELT Approaches, Methods, and Blended Learning Study Guide aims to exhibit some knowledge and understanding pertaining to traditional ELT approaches and methods down to their modern version alongside with blended learning. The internet or the web as well as the social media introduced many innovations that further made English language teaching more effective and up-to-date with its offline and online modes. Nevertheless, the “human touch” is still the soul of ELT having the instructor or mentor as the most prominent visual aid in learning institutions. Thus, although the machines, devices, and Internet signal are considered essentials in life, students and teachers alike must bear in mind that it is still the brain and common sense that can make language learning more interesting and enjoyable sans fake information. For this, we give much credit to our language experts past and present.

Language and Science: Study Guide

Language and Science must come to terms. Yes, it is in no way we could study and learn science more in the higher level without minding its “language”. It is a “given” that words have multiple meanings by denotation and connotation, and that context serves as the base. This Language and Science Study Guide will give a clear view on how to understand better the lessons in pure, applied, and life sciences with regard to the nature, composition, and projection of living and non-living things in their specific environment and outside of their typical biome.
