This paper examines the instances and benefits of diversity through the use of different strategies and analyses the multiculturalism of the 21st century merged in everyday classroom life.

This study is mainly concerned with the presence of Anglicisms in and their influence on the Bosnian language, with a greater focus on Anglicisms in the media and web portals. The study investigates several local web portals in an attempt to determine which sections of the portals and are adapting English words the most, and in what way the adaptation occurs. The study also explores the way in which journalists use Anglicisms in their work. The main goal of this research was to determine at what level Anglicisms are adapted into the Bosnian language the most, and what aspects of language contain most Anglicisms in use. This research helps us understand the importance of the English language in general, and particularly its impact on the Bosnian language.

Semantic preference and semantic prosody are two notions that were carefully analysed in post-Firthian corpus linguistics and in the past few years there has been a growing interest in them. As corpora have become larger in size, and tools for extracting different lexical items for different purposes have been developed, the two terms have been addressed more frequently by linguists1. Throughout history, semantic preference and semantic prosody have sometimes been used for the same phenomenon but at other times the two were considered different but closely related. Previous corpus-based studies on the two terms have shown that they can be attached to many investigated lexical items. Therefore, this paper aims to present a detailed theoretical overview of the two terms in order to emphasise their immense importance for identifying the meaning of all the lexical items.

A variety of different factors seem to have an influence on both second language learning difficulties as well as learning strategies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of different socio-economic status and grade point average on learning strategies and learning difficulties in second language acquisition (SLA) process. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was used to gather data, i.e. a survey method was applied. The research sample included 206 high school participants. The results showed that a socioeconomic status did not have a significant influence on the students’ second language acquisition difficulties. However, the students’ grade point average significantly affected second language acquisition difficulties and also language learning strategies. The results of this study may help instructors to tailor instructions and content to students’ needs and their preferable styles of learning. Taking into consideration students’ learning difficulties and learning strategies in designing and implementing classes may significantly improve teaching and learning outcomes.

The question of gender differences in language use has been repeatedly explored and claims about these distinctions that were once considered invariable have been questioned and refuted. One of the less explored areas within this issue, however, is the phenomenon of swearing. This paper aimed to explore how and why men and women swear on one of the most popular social media sites, Facebook, and how the context in which such utterances are produced modulates their frequency and form. The study found that both men and women are more likely to swear when commenting on the content produced by the same gender and also when surrounded by other males and females, respectively. Furthermore, the research confirmed some previous studies in which men were found to swear more out of aggressiveness, while women do so to exaggerate their words.

Deontologija, znanost o dužnostima, uciteljskog poziva upucuje na moralnu obavezu ucitelja prema ucenicima. Nacelo deontologije: „Age quod agis“ ili „Radi dobro ono što radiš“ obuhvata pravne propise, psihologiju komuniciranja, ponašanje i etiku. Prevazilazeci pedagošku etiku kao odnos prema profesionalnim obavezama, zajednici i kolegama, ona proucava prava i dužnosti regulisane kodeksom profesije. Razlika izmedu Benthamovog i Kantovog pogleda na dužnosti je razlika izmedu profesionalne zakletve i etickog kodeksa škole. Stoga, deontologija dužnostima polazi od moralno i profesionalno zrele licnosti koja se zaklinje na uspjeh, a eticki kodeks polazi od nepovjerljivog društva koje sumnja u istoznacnost moralnih vrijednosti, profesionalca i društva

This paper examined the linguistic landscape of the Governorate of Farwaniya, the biggest governorate in the State of Kuwait, by means of public and private signs displayed in the city center and side streets. A corpus of 150 photos of diverse signs, both official and non-official, was collected, categorized, analyzed and discussed. The results point to an undeniable representation of the Arabic language in both public and private spheres of life as well as to a substantial presence of the English language on a wide range of signage therefore confirming the imprint the process of globalization has made on this EFL context. The findings also indicate that some other world languages, namely Bengali, Hindi, and Chinese, are represented in the linguistic landscape of Kuwait but rather poorly.

Since the area presenting former Yugoslavia has no mandatory Romani langauge classes and consequently no offically recognized translation classes, nor does it provide training for Romani translators, this paper deals with the experience and the current situation of Romani translation and translators. Theoretical background of Polysystems, Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS), Skopos and non-systems oriented ‘Cluster concept’ provide support for a better approach to translation in the Romani context. ‘Cluster concept’ allows the possibility to create a definition of Translation Romani as a new approach to Translation Studies. As translation represents one of the ways to preserve and develop linguistic vitality in the minority languages, reassuring its speakers, activating the creation of new vocabulary, and strengthening domains of language use that are under-used, it also applies as a way for creating translation strategies for teaching Translation Romani. This research is grounded in personal experience, and presents the beginning of the research on Translation Romani (TR).
