Authors: Oliveira Luciana C. de
Published: March 2021

Despite an increasing interest in the preparation of Nonnative English-speaking (NNES) teachers in English Language Teaching (ELT), a knowledge base for NNES teachers has yet to be articulated. This article takes the position that the ELT field should take into account and address the preparation of NNES teachers systematically. This article conceptualizes a model of teacher knowledge for NNES teachers. NNES teachers are a special case because issues such as language, self-perceptions, and identity play a key role in their preparation and should be connected to their knowledge base.

Ensino e aprendizagem de português língua estrangeira (PLE): repensando o contexto de imersão
Authors: Rocha Nildicéia Aparecida , Gileno Rosangela Sanches da Silveira
Published: March 2021

Tendo em vista a questão da mobilidade estudantil universitária, gostaríamos, neste trabalho, de refletir sobre as especificidades de se ensinar e aprender Português Língua Estrangeira (PLE) tanto em contexto de imersão como fora dele, a partir das observações realizadas em dois momentos: por um lado, descreveremos um curso de PLE em situação de imersão em uma universidade no interior do estado de São Paulo, Brasil; e por outro, um curso de PLE fora do contexto de imersão, em uma universidade na Espanha, em uma capital de província. Neste sentido, gostaríamos de trazer aqui uma reflexão sobre o ensino de PLE em situação de imersão e fora dela quando o tratamento didático-pedagógico parte da relação indissociável entre língua e cultura, dentro de uma abordagem comunicativa intercultural, procurando desenvolver no aprendiz uma competência comunicativa intercultural.
O conceito de autonomia aplicado ao processo de aquisição de línguas estrangeiras na era da informação
Authors: Coutrim Erica de Cássia Modesto
Published: March 2021

O uso de ferramentas da Internet para fins educacionais tem sido comumente associado, no ambiente escolar, à noção de autonomia. Esse conceito, no entanto, envolve elementos que extrapolam questões metodológicas de aquisição de línguas estrangeiras – engloba também questões sociais, políticas e gnosiológicas. Por isso, procuraremos explorar o conceito de autonomia aplicado ao ensino e aprendizagem de LE por meio da Internet, partindo do princípio de que o indivíduo autônomo não pode ser determinado por outros indivíduos, e nem mesmo por aparatos tecnológicos, por mais avançados que sejam. Examinaremos, por meio de observação e questionários, porém, em que medida o uso de ferramentas de tecnologia comunicacional no ambiente Web pode contribuir para o processo de formação de um indivíduo autônomo e, portanto, ativo, em seu próprio processo de aquisição de uma língua estrangeira.

As vantagens dessas tecnologias vão além dos fatos de apresentarem baixo custo, alta conectividade e portabilidade. Trata-se de aparelhos que podem ser acessados e usados por alunos em qualquer lugar a qualquer hora, independente de permissões de professores e instituições de ensino. Diante desta nova situação, objetivase com este trabalho relatar sobre um Projeto de E-Tutoria que contou com o suporte do aplicativo WhatsApp. Através da formação de um grupo, alunos de um curso de Letras, Português-Alemão, puderam praticar conhecimentos linguísticos adquiridos em sala, interagir sobre seu cotidiano em língua estrangeira e enviar mensagens e arquivos de imagens. Além disso, os alunos puderam contar com o apoio de uma tutora virtual e de uma professora para conseguir se expressar na língua-alvo, tirar dúvidas de gramática e vocabulário e ainda receber feedback corretivo, quando solicitado.
Institutional integrated teletandem: students' perceptions about collaborative writing
Authors: Cavalari Suzi Marques Spatti
Published: March 2021

Institutional integrated teletandem (iiTTD) is characterized “as a series of teletandem sessions that are embedded in regular FL lessons (thus mandatory) so that such lessons both feed and are fed by teletandem practice” (CAVALARI; ARANHA, [2016]). Collaborative writing is conceived as an activity in which learners work together throughout the process of planning, generating ideas, structuring, editing and revising a text in the foreign language (STORCH, 2013). This paper aims at (i) describing a collaborative writing task that was implemented within iiTTD at UNESP – São José do Rio Preto, and (ii) discussing Brazilian learners’ perceptions as they carried out such task in 2015. Data were collected by means of learning diaries written by thirteen students of English as a foreign language who were taking a Translation Studies major.
Letramento digital e a formação do professor de língua na contemporaneidade
Authors: Bedran Patrícia Fabiana
Published: March 2021

Na tentativa de contemplar e repensar a formação do professor sob um viés mais contemporâneo, objetivamos promover uma discussão, a partir da reflexão e articulação de conceitos e perspectivas sobre Letramento Digital (STREET, 1995; BUZATO, 2006; ROJO, 2013) e a Formação Sociocultural do Professor (VIGOTSKI, 1998; 2010; JOHNSON, 2009; FRIEDRICH, 2012), no que se refere ao uso da tecnologia da informação e da comunicação (LÉVY, 1998; 1999; 2007) como responsável por (novas) práticas de letramento no âmbito educacional. De forma a instigar uma reflexão sobre a experiência prática à luz da literatura da área, tecemos considerações mais pontuais sobre uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho etnográfico, realizada em um contexto de formação inicial do profissional de Letras, em que se fez uso da tecnologia com vistas a promover uma formação social, crítica e reflexiva do professor. Os dados evidenciaram que o sucesso da atividade não está relacionado diretamente ao uso de uma ferramenta tecnológica apropriada, mas ao engajamento dos participantes na tarefa solicitada, o que implica necessariamente uma nova forma de pensar e agir, (trans)formada e delineada por recursos metodológicos, tecnológicos e contextuais.

Authors: Shtyrlina Ekaterina Gennadievna , Kazantseva Aida Marsovna , Hasan Izanloo
Published: March 2021

The paper presents a modern pedagogical technology for the critical thinking development, aimed at forming the pupils' ability to analyze facts, phenomena, and processes from the standpoint of logic in their relationship and interdependence. It reveals the specifics of critical thinking development technology, provides a description of the methodology for critical thinking development using the example of teaching the Russian language at high school: the stages of the educational process (challenge, comprehension, reflection), techniques and methods of this technology, examples of their application and advantages of use. In course of the study, the authors conclude that the critical thinking development technology is implemented through the interactive inclusion of students in the educational space through a specific organization of the educational process based on three main stages and a system of teaching methods that consistently implement the tasks at each stage. The critical thinking development technology activates the pupils’ mental and speech activity and contributes to their active involvement in the educational and cognitive process. The study is based on the methods of observation, analysis, synthesis, description, comparison, and generalization.

Published: March 2021

Systematization and description of the arsenal of linguistic means of expressing emotions represent one of the major tasks for linguistics that returns nowadays to the theory of Wilhelm von Humboldt, which in the early XIXth century appealed to study the language in close connection with individual speakers. A logical interest of the researchers to the processes of manifestation of emotions in the language has resulted in the formation of a new scientific field – linguistics of emotions aimed at the emotional environment of the language. In the Tatar language human emotions are verbalized mostly by the phraseological units representing various mental states of a person, one’s inner world. Studying means of expressing emotive vocabulary illustrated by the phraseological units provides an opportunity to present the whole complex of means of the language and the speech, as well as contribute to understanding the mentality and psychology of a Tatar language person. This article covers the Tatar phraseological units expressing negative connotation. The theme group “anger” represents the object of research. The authors have studied the emotional and appraisal semantics of the given group of phraseological units and attempted the revealing the specificity of the way of thinking and the worldview of the Tatar people. The analysis revealed that the phraseological units of the studied group are characterized by a great diversity of lexical, semantic, emotional and appraisal aspects. The emotional and appraisal volume of the phraseological units varies depending on the emotional state of the speaker and on his attitude to the addressee. Cultural and connotative semantics of the phraseological units is closely connected to the Tatar people’s worldview which has formed and has been enriched throughout the life experience.
Verb as optativity representation means in differently structured languages
Authors: Sharapova Dilyara Ilnurovna , Salakhova Ruzilya Rashitovna , Gilazetdinova Gelinya Chayretdinovna , Bozbayeva Aigul Galimzhanovna
Published: March 2021

The article is focused on analyzing the specificity of lexical and grammatical means expressing the optativity semantics in Tatar and English. Examining the matter in question based on pieces of literature explained by a widespread use of optative verbs in fiction as those which are targeted at the sphere exclusively inherent to a person’s inner world. The final stage of the study addresses the social and pragmatic substantiation of linguistic peculiarities of the verb vocabulary expressing optative mood in differently structured languages – Tatar and English. Topicality of the study is reasoned by the fact that the verb optative mood category in modern world linguistics is not a subject of a special study at present. The insufficient coverage of the optativity linguistic category primarily initiates a considerable interest in its contrast-comparative study, which is to enable determining the boundaries of grammatical forms and lexical units expressing semantics of wish and identifying their semantic features. Complexity of the study is caused by the point the article addresses an unmediated translation of belles-lettres from English into Tatar being differently structured and genetically unrelated languages, which testified to the study topicality as well.

La reutilización de aguas depuradas en España se realiza desde hace décadas, siendo uno de los países en los que esta práctica está más extendida. Sin embargo, no se llega a reutilizar más del 5% del total de las aguas residuales recogidas, aunque en algunos casos, como en Canarias, el agua depurada ha llegado a suponer un 20% del agua consumida. En este artículo se presentan tres ejemplos de reutilización de aguas depuradas con una importante incidencia en los aspectos ambientales y asociados a condiciones hídricas diversas. Los estudios se están llevando a cabo dentro del Proyecto CONSOLIDER-TRAGUA cuyo objetivo es abordar de manera integrada los aspectos implicados en la reutilización de aguas residuales procedentes de las estaciones depuradoras de aguas residuales urbanas. Las zonas seleccionadas para los estudios de campo se sitúan en Andalucía donde el agua regenerada se aplica a filtros verdes y riego de cultivos para la obtención de biodiesel; Canarias para riego de campos de Golf y Cataluña donde el agua es inyectada para generar una barrera hidráulica contra la intrusión marina del acuífero. En los tres casos estudiados se incide en los aspectos suelo-agua-planta y sus impactos en el medio.
Uso Eficiente del Agua de Riego mediante Sondas de Capacitancia
Authors:   Grupo La Norteñita. Departamento de Investigación, Desarrollo, Innovación y Transferencia Tecnológica. México, Orozco Corral Alfonso Luis
Published: March 2021

La explotación del acuífero Cuauhtémoc es de 4,230 pozos, con volumen medio de extracción de 360 Mm3/año, se recarga con 87 Mm3/año, existiendo un déficit medio anual de 273 Mm3 dicha extracción es principalmente para la agricultura (92%). Es necesario incorporar tecnologías y programas de riego más eficientes que contribuyan al desarrollo sustentable de la agricultura en México. El estudio se realizó durante el período 2005-2008 en el Rancho El Rosario, Municipio de Guerrero, Chihuahua. Cuenta con 570 hectáreas plantadas (628,705 árboles) con manzano variedad Golden Delicious, irrigadas por microaspersión de baja presión, utilizando sondas de capacitancia (FDR) para medir el contenido volumétrico de agua del suelo y el monitoreo del clima en tiempo real. Con la finalidad de efectuar un manejo eficiente del agua de riego y disminuir las extracciones profundas, se utilizaron metodologías propuestas por la FAO e INIFAP, para el cálculo de las variables: Evapotranspiración de referencia, evapotranspiración de cultivo, factor de cobertura, coeficientes de cultivo, clase textural de suelos, punto de saturación, capacidad de campo, punto de marchitez permanente, humedad aprovechable, déficit de humedad, porcentaje permitido de abatimiento de humedad, lámina de riego, momento de riego, densidad aparente, velocidad de infiltración, humedad gravimétrica y volumétrica, precipitación efectiva, requerimientos hídricos diarios, mensuales y anuales, número de riegos, frecuencia y tiempo de riegos. Se instaló un sistema de tubos de acceso para la toma de datos semanales de la sonda de capacitancia para el monitoreo de la humedad del suelo, comparando los valores dieléctricos de la sonda con la humedad volumétrica del suelo. Los datos meteorológicos se obtuvieron de estaciones pertenecientes a la red agroclimática de UNIFRUT. El análisis estadístico se efectuó por medio de la regresión lineal y polinómica (R²). Además de la obtención de balances hídricos ajustados para uso en investigaciones sobre los procesos de contaminación de acuíferos por nitratos, la utilización de sondas de capacitancia proporciona información que permite la optimización de los riegos, la corrección de estados de stress hídrico en los cultivos y el estudio de la dinámica del suelo. Los resultados indican ahorros significativos de agua de riego del 45 % (7,000 m³/ha y 4 Mm³ en 570 ha.). Así mismo, se obtuvo un ahorro de energía eléctrica para la extracción profunda de agua, del 42 % (800,000 Kwh). Asumiendo que existen 30,000 ha. de cultivo manzano en la región de Cuauhtémoc y Guerrero en el Estado de Chihuahua, si esta metodología se adoptara significaría un ahorro de 209 Mm³ anuales para el acuífero, lo que impactaría significativamente sobre el déficit de recarga existente, minimizando los impactos ambientales negativos e incrementando las expectativas de vida del acuífero (25 años) y contribuyendo al desarrollo socioeconómico de la región.

LA REGENERACIÓN DE LAS CIUDADES METROPOLITANAS A PARTIR DE LA DENSIFICACIÓN
Authors: Llop Torné Carlos
Published: March 2021

Las ciudades metropolitanas están inevitablemente implicadas en un proceso de regeneración de sus stocks urbanos. En Santiago de Chile acompañé un estudio sobre densificación de la ciudad en los espacios urbanos de los ejes de transporte público masivo. A partir de la identificación de áreas de densidad, el estudio plantea un ejercicio de diseño prospectivo, mostrando que la apuesta no es sólo la de construir rascacielos (la excesiva altura no siempre tiene una buena aceptación en las culturas latinoamericanas), sino más bien soluciones con menos altura, pero con uso más intenso del espacio privado. Se propone, también, la cesión de terreno para ampliar y mejorar el espacio público, en especial el espacio de la circulación peatonal. El artículo parte de dicha experiencia y aborda conceptual y perceptualmente fórmulas, directrices estratégicas y bases proyectuales frente a diseños detallados. Propuestas que muestren la idea de la densificación juiciosa que hace ciudad y la regenera allá donde la intensidad es baja.

O encontro das CEBs em São Luís-MA (julho de 1997), como quase todos os Intereclesiais, renovou o nosso espírito. Diante da tarefa de sistematizar alguns aspectos do evento, com o olhar ecumênico que nos é peculiar, precisamos, por suposto, de bases teóricas para avaliação, perspectiva histórica e elementos das ciências sociais para enriquecer as análises.
Can clinical vignettes administered by mobile phone call be used to measure quality of contraceptive care practices in Malawi?

Published: March 2021

Background

Accurate and timely measures of quality of contraceptive care are required for program improvement but can be expensive and time-consuming to implement in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Clinical vignettes (CLVs) measure quality knowledge and have been shown to be a valid proxy of provider quality practice in the United States, and may be administered via mobile-phone, making them an attractive cost-savings alternative to field assessments. This cross-sectional study aims to validate mobile-phone CLVs for measuring quality of contraceptive service provision using simulated, “mystery” clients as the gold standard.

Methods

Researchers trained to simulate clients (SC) seeking contraceptive care visited 112 government-administered clinics in six districts of Malawi. The providers who saw the simulated clients were called via mobile phone approximately three weeks later for CLV administration. We calculated sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and compared the proportion of quality behaviors measured from both methods.

Results

Overall, the quality measured by CLVs differed from quality measured with SCs. A higher proportion of providers reported clinical assessments and counseling on more topics during the CLV compared to the SCs, including counseling on what to do if the pill was not taken on time (59% vs. 26%; P<0.01). During the SC, providers asked more questions when taking client history and recommended the preferred method of the case scenario more often (81% vs. 49%; P<0.01).

Conclusions

The quality of care ascertained through mobile-phone CLV was not similar enough to quality ascertained through SCs to replace them. Mobile phone-based CLV also failed to capture all areas of quality performance. Continued efforts are needed to identify and test innovative methods to accurately and inexpensively measure quality of care to inform improvement of provider performance.
Prevalence and pattern of hearing loss among meningitis survivors in the Pacific Islands: a prospective, observational study protocol
Authors: Kaspar Annette , Pifeleti Sione , Driscoll Carlie
Published: March 2021

Background

Permanent hearing loss is the most common neurological sequelae among meningitis survivors in low- and middle-income countries. It is preventable through the availability and optimal population coverage of immunization programs. The most recent Global Burden of Disease Project reported that mortality and morbidity rates associated with meningitis are in decline in the Pacific Islands. While the report is encouraging, clinical and rehabilitation services for meningitis survivors remain important for regions where immunization delivery is unable to reach optimal levels. The aim of the proposed study is to assess the prevalence and pattern of hearing impairment among meningitis survivors in Samoa, a Polynesian nation of the Pacific Islands.

Methods and analysis

This will be a prospective observational study design. All patients admitted to Tupua Tamasese Meaole Hospital with a meningitis diagnosis from January 2021 to December 2022 will be eligible for the study. All meningitis survivors will be referred to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT)/audiology clinic prior to discharge for an ear and hearing assessment. The dependent variables will be otoscopic result and audiometry result for each ear. The independent variables will be age, gender, causal meningitis pathogen, and place of residence (urban/rural/remote).

Ethics and conclusions

We publish this protocol to facilitate similar research studies, especially among our Pacific Island neighbours. This research protocol may be a useful resource for the development of clinical procedures for routine ENT/audiology assessments for patients following infection with known causes of hearing loss. This study was approved by the Government of Samoa Ministry of Health Ethical Research Committee and the University of Queensland Medical Ethics Research Committee.

Este artigo discute o resultado da análise de 10 aplicativos móveis de autocuidado psicológico utilizados no Brasil, que denominamos PsiApps. A análise se desdobra em duas camadas: uma ‘visível’, que envolve os discursos dos próprios aplicativos para descrever os problemas que visam solucionar, suas promessas e seus métodos; outra ‘invisível’, que inclui formas automatizadas de coleta e compartilhamento de dados dos usuários pelos aplicativos. Veremos como a ênfase na individualidade e na autonomia manifesta na primeira camada torna opaca uma série de mediadores presentes na segunda camada, em grande parte invisíveis para o usuário. O contraste entre a centralidade da agência individual promovida pelos discursos dos PsiApps e o caráter relacional da infraestrutura e do ecossistema de dados que os integram evidenciam as contradições da autonomia ofertada por esses aplicativos.
Discurso antivacina no YouTube: a mediação de influenciadores

Published: March 2021

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa sobre o discurso antivacina em 14 vídeos mais relevantes no YouTube exibidos em 2018 e 2019, considerando a quantidade de visualizações, likes, dislikes e comentários. O estudo identifica argumentos e sentidos construídos pelos mediadores, a partir da perspectiva natural, que associa a vacina à ideia de veneno, riscos e morte; e da perspectiva política, que aciona liberdades individuais e planos de poder para redução populacional e lucro da big pharma. Na interseção entre as duas perspectivas, aspectos religiosos compõem a moldura dos discursos. A análise qualitativa e quantitativa aponta a necessidade de investir em estratégias de comunicação que esclareçam e desconstruam as informações falsas ou distorcidas disseminadas. Também sinaliza a importância de diálogo com um público descrente com instituições políticas, científicas e midiáticas, em que a ameaça de punição pela lei não é obstáculo para recusa ou hesitação vacinal.

The havoc of COVID 19 pandemic, has created a situation of panic among the health care professionals and general population worldwide. The Virus being a droplet infection has increased the vulnerability of infection among the dental professionals, affecting the clinical practice. The patient being reluctant to visit the dentist due to fear of cross contamination in the dental office has reduced the patient in flow to a certain extent. Various measures have been suggested by the health authorities to avoid the transmission of the virus in the dental office. One such measure is the use of a preprocedural rinse. This acts as the need of the hour to reduce the virus transmission from the patients and prevent cross contamination in dental clinics. Various formulation of mouthwashes are used for preprocedural rinsing. The most common being chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine, cetypyridinium chloride and hydrogen peroxide. The antimicrobial property of these have also been found to be effective against severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2. These ingredients in mouth washes are found to temporarily neutralize the virus load for certain amount of time in saliva and other oral fluids. Thus preprocedural rinse can reduce the risk of transmission of virus and can be used as an adjunct with air filters and PPE kits for prevention and protection from infection.
