Introduction. The relevance of the research is due to the need to improve the process of psychological support for foreign students of foreign countries (African countries, Afghanistan) for long-term training (5 years) in the educational organization of the Russian Interior Ministry. Violation of the process of psychological adaptation of foreign students to the realities of life in the new language environment can lead to frustration, emotional lability, pronounced fatigue, anxiety, emergence of intrapersonal and interpersonal conflicts, as well as problems with academic performance and motivation for learning. The aim of the study was to reveal the features of psychological adaptation of foreign students to the study in the educational organization of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Materials and Methods. The empirical study involved 87 students enrolled in an educational institution of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, including 45 first-year foreign students (African police officers) aged 23-30 years old and 42 first-year investigative students aged 18-22 years old. The research was carried out with the help of questionnaires: "Assessment of the state of adaptation of personality" (OSADA), "Motivation of learning in University" (T.I. Ilyina), personal coping strategy "SACS" (S. Hobfall) as well as an anonymous questionnaire of studying motivation of learning in educational institution of the Russian MIA. Mathematical processing of the results included methods of descriptive, comparative and correlation analysis using statistical package SPSS Statistics ver. 23.0. Results of the study. The study revealed significant differences between social adaptability indicators of foreign students and Russian-speaking full-time first-year cadets, according to which the characteristic feature of foreign students is underestimation of their own actions, abilities and deeds, as expressed in the following indicators: self-satisfaction (t = 2,07; p ≤ 0,05), dissatisfaction with the situation of learning activities (t = 2,27; p ≤ 0,05), general dissatisfaction with activities (t = 2,40; p ≤ 0,05). As a result of the study of motivation of foreign students two groups of motives were identified, which reflect the focus on the satisfaction of cognitive needs (80% of respondents) and passive behavior in the form of submission to external circumstances, cautious actions (20% of respondents). As a consequence, one of the significant coping strategies for this group is the avoidance strategy. The received results of the research can be used in the organization of psychological and pedagogical support of training process of foreign students in order to provide preventive adaptability.

Introduction. Significant transformation of the requirements for teacher training in the light of the rapid development of technology, economy and society and, as a result, the clarification of the list of competences that need to be formed in a graduate of a pedagogical university, as well as the increase of the role of foreign language learning in the school education, actualize the necessity to revise the constituent elements of the competence model of a future foreign language teacher. The aim of the research is theoretical substantiation of a comprehensive model of practical training of a teacher and identification on this basis of the basic components of the intending foreign language teacher’s professionalism. Materials and methods. The research is based on the content analysis of regulatory documents and international standards in the field of professional competence of teachers, as well as on the theoretical analysis of current scientific publications on the topic of teacher’s competence training in the higher education system and the axiological analysis of the subjective experience of practical training of intending foreign language teachers at Saratov State University (n = 478). Results. The presented complex competence model of the intending foreign language teacher is based on four selected elements of practical training: communicative-language, linguodidactic, quasi-professional methodological and actual practical training of preservice teachers at schools. The universal nature of the developed model is based on the interdependence of its constituent competences and skills, corresponding to both the currently accepted changes in educational and professional standards, and the prospective development of educational programs and projects. This allows it to be used in the development of educational programs and productive curricula for the students with their major in pedagogical education.

Published: November 2021

Introduction. The introduction of information technologies into the educational process is an integral part of the successful work of the teacher and the achievement of learning objectives; therefore, the use of text corpora and corpus technologies as a means of supporting the foreign language teaching is one of the urgent trends of improving the teaching methods. The purpose of the study is to provide a theoretical justification, develop a set of tasks and practical confirmation of the effectiveness of the methodology for the formation of lexical and grammatical skills of students in German based on the corpus-based technologies. Materials and methods. The German corpora such as the Leipzig Corpus of Modern German (Wortschatz Universität Leipzig) and the German corpus DWDS (Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache) were used as the authentic sources for compiling the set of tasks. In particular, the program QuAX-DaF (Quantitative Analyze von TeXten für Deutsch als Fremdsprache), which provides the statistical text processing, was used. 60 students of the 3rd-4th courses of Kazan Federal University, studying in the field of study “Pedagogical Education (with two educational program specializations)” (Bachelor’s degree), took part in the pedagogical experiment. The Welch’s test was used to establish the statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups. Study results. As a result of the study, a set of tasks for the formation of lexical and grammatical skills was created and introduced into the educational process. The conducted pedagogical experiment confirms the effectiveness of the inclusion of corpus technologies in the formation of lexical and grammatical skills of students (t = 1.11; p≤0.05). After classes using materials that include working with concordance, building a lexical / collocation profile of a word with the subsequent compilation of a thematic dictionary, the number of students with a high level of formation of lexical and grammatical skills increased by 6%, with an average level – improved by 7%, and with a low level – decreased by 13%. Conclusions. The results of the study contribute to the development of the corpus-based linguodidactics; the set of developed tasks may become an incentive for more intensive use of corpus-based technologies in foreign language teaching.

Published: November 2021

Problem and goal. Russian and foreign discourse discusses the importance of non-formal competences for successful integration into the labor market, social life, etc. However, despite the popularity of the concept, there is no single definition of what non-formal competences are. The purpose of the study is an analytical review of approaches, methodology and research results, including those carried out using empirical data from different countries, devoted to the formation of non-formal competences. Methodology. The study was carried out by the method of qualitative content analysis of scientific works, methodological and other publications using more than 50 titles of sources and literature on the conceptually similar categories of non-formal competences, in particular, "soft skills", "social skills", "life skills", "corporate competences", etc. Results. The study shows how non-formal competences enhance labor mobility and increase the social activity of an individual. Shown is the ratio of "personal", "social", "life" skills in the model of non-formal competences, specific skills and competences included in the number of non-formal ones. It is noted that an individual with a wide range of non-formal skills will be able to successfully compensate for the lack of formal education due to his experience of self-education, as well as have the effect of increasing through non-formal skills on social and professional capital. Conclusion. In the course of the review study, the main blocks of non-formal competences were highlighted, covered in scientific and practical discourse. The revealed non-formal meta-competences embedded in the lifelong learning model take research to a new level and open up wide opportunities for further study.

Los cambios suscitados en el campo mundial de la economía han impactado de diversos modos a las universidades, y en el contexto del neoliberalismo y la Nueva Gestión Pública, la racionalidad empresarial empieza a incardinarse en diversos espacios de la vida, tanto en lo que se refiere al gobierno de sí, como de instituciones que eran lejanas a una racionalidad de este tipo.

Published: November 2021

La humanidad, como especie racional, trata de comprender y explicar el mundo a través de conocimientos y teorías de diversos tipos. Karl Raimund Popper, filósofo vienés, trabajó en la constitución de un mundo mejor por medio de la elaboración de concepciones sobre aquellos conocimientos y teorías que hicieran posible un acercamiento adecuado a la realidad. Nos referimos al tema del tradicionalismo y del historicismo que, junto con la dialéctica, crearon un sentido innovador para pensar el presente social. En este trabajo abordaremos específicamente la crítica que hace Popper de la dialéctica, la cual confronta con su propia metodología de ensayo y error.

Justicia y libertad para un Estado Democrático
Authors: González Trinidad Brenda
Published: November 2021

Giovanny Sartori, en su texto titulado ¿Qué es la democracia?, nos habla de las posibles definiciones de las que se puede sustentar la democracia. Así mismo se interroga ¿la teoría de la democracia es una, o es múltiples? ¿Muchas teorías sobre muchas democracias o una teoría sobre una democracia? La respuesta depende en gran parte del nivel de abstracción del discurso.1 Ante tal cuestión, Sartori sostiene la tesis unitaria. Por lo que, cree que las democracias se declaran como tales, al comparar la teoría con la práctica en ellas, definir la democracia, muchas veces, se conflictúa al comparar los hechos descriptivos con lo prescriptivo.

Epistemología del testimonio
Authors: Ramírez Miranda Francisco Javier
Published: November 2021

Nuestra amplia dependencia del testimonio es evidente. Confiamos en elreporte de otros sobre una gran variedad de cosas, desde cuestiones concernientesa nuestro nacimiento —e.g., que nacimos tal día a tal hora, oque nuestra madre, de hecho, es nuestra madre— hasta descubrimientosen ciencia —e.g., que la tierra gira alrededor del sol, o incluso cualquiertipo de información geográfica—. Si careciéramos de él, nuestras vidas severían fuertemente empobrecidas. Dada esta importancia, su estudio seha incrementado de manera considerable. Actualmente, en la epistemologíacontemporánea, existen tres respuestas al problema de la justificacióntestimonial. La primera, que responde a la tradición, es una posición reduccionista,que afirma que el testimonio se «reduce» a la percepción, a lamemoria o a las inferencias inductivas. La segunda es el denominado noreduccionismo, el cual considera que el testimonio es una fuente independientede conocimiento y que nos encontramos prima facie justificados amenos que obtengamos una creencia o evidencia relevante en contra. Latercera y última es más reciente, desarrollada principalmente por JenniferLackey, pretende eliminar la dicotomía entre reduccionismo y no reduccionismo,posicionándose en medio de ambas posturas y rechazando, porun lado, «el componente reductivo» del reduccionismo y, por otro lado, lasupuesta credulidad o «actitud acrítica» del no reduccionismo.
GREEN FARM EXPERIENCE
Authors: HIDALGO Hanilyn A.
Published: November 2021

Tourism has become one of the highest contributors to the world economy but is also among the industries that were seriously affected by the Covid-19 outbreak. This pandemic has created a way to refocus how tourism operates. The way people will treat their next travel will be much different from before. Tourism may be transformed into a sustainable experience with emphasis not only on economic and social aspects but on environmental contributions as well. As the new norm in tourism is about to emerge, there will be conscious acts that will result in more hygienic and open destinations, more careful tourists, more engagement with nature, and lesser interaction with people. Nature-based destinations such as farms may benefit from a shift to sustainable experience. Any event or occurrence in the farm that forms meaningful memories and creates an impact on caring for the environment and natural resources, including those who share it is described as a green farm experience. Diversifying a traditional farm into farm tourism without much investment may help in the gradual recovery of domestic tourism and improve the livelihoods of the rural community, as well since it covers the supporting industries from agriculture and tourism.

Blindsided by the American Dream
Authors: Lisella Maria
Published: November 2021

In her essay “Shades, Color and Internal Dialogues in White America,” from which the present contribution is taken, Maria Lisella takes a savvy streetwise approach to balancing feminism with political consciousness. By sifting through the nuances and politics of her own body language in what appears to be a moment of imminent danger, she takes the long view by educating herself. She achieves this through listening to others’ individual experiences some of which depict white liberals trapped in a web of well-meaning gestures that can endanger them. From the human stories behind racism and prejudice in the Italian American community, she illustrates that dogmatic formulas do not address all situations; understanding among races can only be achieved through direct interaction with each other.
Nonna's Spiritual Journey Back Home
Authors: Culos Raymond
Published: November 2021

This is a story of a young bride, typical of many Italian women of her generation, who struggled with the proposition of having to leave all she knew and loved behind to join her husband and a new life in ‘America’. Threading this common story of emigration, journeying, and settling, however, are the memories of a devoted grandson who, charmed by grandma’s fascinating narratives of “home”, embarks in his adult life on his own journey, back to the fount of his origins. Nonna Artemisia had left Italy on the promise to her father that she would endeavour to return someday to be with him again. The author, captivated by his grandmother’s lifelong feeling of separation, symbolically returns her spirit to its original familial home.
And My Immigrant Ship Sails On: Returning on Deck with Ricci’s Lives of the Saints Trilogy
Authors: Niccoli Gabriel
Published: November 2021

This article addresses the theme of nostos and of immigrant journeying by locating the author and his memories on the very liner Saturnia that brought, in an eerily fanciful quirk of fate, Ricci’s young protagonist and his mother to Canada. The writer frames his reading of Ricci’s Lives of the Saints with a testimonial to the authenticity of the world the novel evokes, the world of the author’s own childhood and adolescence. The essay that follows traces the convergent lines of critical insight, memory and the imagination.
Andate e ritorni nella trilogia di Nino Ricci
Authors: Concilio Carmen
Published: November 2021

In questo studio si analizza la Trilogia dello scrittore italo-canadese Nino Ricci, in cui il romanzo di formazione di Vittorio Innocente si articola tra il viaggio di andata dall’Italia — terra della madre — al Canada — terra del padre — e il viaggio di ritorno in patria da adulto. Dominata dalla relazione edipica, la formazione di Vittorio è dolorosa e nessun approdo sembra offrire risposte alla ricerca del Sé, al contrario il ritorno è doloroso quanto la partenza. Inoltre, lo studio mette in luce come la Trilogia si configuri come cartografia dell’altrove, in cui il paradigma della linea curva e della griglia squadrata definiscono gli spazi al di qua e al di là dell'Oceano. La saggistica accademica sull'autore e sulla Trilogia, in particolare, ha fornito l'orizzonte critico di riferimento.
Narratives of Nostos by Italian-Canadian Women
Authors: Canton Licia
Published: November 2021

We are privileged to read and write and share narratives of nostos that are inspired by our (grand)parents’ decision to emigrate. The return journey “home” shows a need to look to the past, towards one’s roots, in an attempt to better understand the present. This essay looks at representations of nostos in the Italian-Canadian literary community, with an emphasis on narratives by women who were born in Italy as well as those whose (grand)parents emigrated to Canada. To varying degrees, the discussion will touch on the works of established and emerging authors from Ontario, Quebec and Alberta.
Italian Heritage and the Experience of Migration and Nostos in Canadian Poetry
Authors: Cadel Francesca
Published: November 2021

The article addresses the theme of nostos by referring to the journeys of three authors of Italian heritage: Pier Giorgio Di Cicco, Mary di Michele, and Gianna Patriarca.

Mobility, Nostalgia, and Ethnic Identity: The Racalmutesi Experience in Canada, and Beyond
Authors: Migliore Sam
Published: November 2021

We are currently in an era characterized by rapid movement; movement of people, products, resources, and information both within and beyond national boundaries. In this paper, I examine the movement not only of Italians (and more specifically Racalmutesi) to Canada, but also of Canadian Italians to Italy and other locations. As part of this discussion, my aim is to explore the role of nostalgia in people’s conceptions of the interrelationships among movement, ethnic identity, and their sense of “home.”
Photography and the Concept of Return: A Personal View
Authors: Pietropaolo Vincenzo
Published: November 2021

As a photographer of the immigrant experience, the yearning for return to a homeland has been a central theme of my research. In this paper, I explore both my personal and collective experience of displacement and uprooting (Not Paved with Gold), the annual return to Canada of temporary migrant farm workers from Mexico and the Caribbean (Harvest Pilgrims), and the metaphorical return of Italian immigrants to a spiritual homeland through the annual re-enactment of the Via Crucis on the streets of Toronto’s Little Italy (Ritual). The paper poses the question of whether the immigrant, having abandoned his homeland, can truly return to it.
