description: This work presents a newly developed model for the oxidation of methanol and ethanol and their fuel interaction with NOx (NO and NO2) chemistry in jet-stirred and flow reactors, freely propagating and burner-stabilized premixed flames, as well as shock tubes. This work takes into account a very recent study on NO formation in pure methanol and ethanol burner-stabilized flames (Combust. Flame, 194, 363–375, 2018), augmented with so far unpublished experimental data. The paper mainly focuses on fuel interaction with nitrogen chemistry and NO formation in laminar premixed flames but also considers the formation and reduction of nitrogen oxides depending on the conditions of the surrounding gas phase. In agreement with previous experimental work, we find that doping of fuel blends with NO shifts the onset of fuel oxidation to lower temperatures depending on the gas conditions. The model suggests that the reactivity promoting effect of NO is mainly due to the net increase of OH radical concentrations, which causes increased fuel oxidation via the NO/NO2 interconversion reaction channel, NO+HO2⇋NO2+OH, NO2+H⇋NO+OH, NO2+HO2⇋HONO+O2, followed by the thermal decomposition of HONO. In burner-stabilized premixed ethanol flames, NO is mainly formed via a NCN pathway for all equivalence ratios, while for methanol flames the NCN pathway is only favored at rich conditions and the N2O pathway is favored at lean conditions.

description: We predict 'heating' of quasiparticles driven by order parameter oscillations in the resistive state of short superconducting microbridges. The finite relaxation time of the magnitude of the order parameter $|Δ|$ and the dependence of the spectral functions both on $|Δ|$ and the supervelocity $Q$ are the origin of this effect. Our result is opposite to those of Aslamazov and Larkin (Zh. Eks. Teor. Fiz. {\bf 70}, 1340 (1976)) and Schmid, Schon and Tinkham (Phys. Rev. B {\bf 21} 5076 (1980)) where 'cooling' of quasiparticles was found.

description: The knowledge about permeate flux decline regarded to apitoxin can be a useful tool to allow industrial fractionation of the mixture. Hermia’s models were used to predict the fouling mechanisms during cross-flow ultrafiltration of bee venom in 10 kDa regenerated cellulose membrane. Three different apitoxin concentrations (0.2 to 1 g/L) were tested at 1 bar and 0.08 m/s. Fouling mechanisms varied as a function of feed content. Membrane cleaning with sodium dodecyl sulphate was effective. Phospholipase A2 rejection coefficients were a function of membrane fouling, varying from 35 to 93%.

description: This paper discusses findings from an exploratory study on the nature, extent, and impact of cyberbullying experienced by 121 faculty members at one Canadian university. We situate cyberbullying in university on a continuum between cyberbullying in K-12 education and cyberbullying in the workplace and also take into account the power dynamics that characterize the post-secondary context. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of online survey data revealed that 17% of respondents had experienced cyberbullying either by students (12%) or by colleagues (9%) in the last 12 months. Gender differences were apparent plus racial minority status also appeared to render faculty members more vulnerable to cyberbullying. These findings suggest a rights-based lens could be used to analyze and respond to the vulnerabilities of women and other marginalized faculty in cyberbullying situations. This study contributes to the dearth of research on cyberbullying at the post-secondary level and raises the need to consider factors of difference, such as gender and race, in policy development and practice. Cet article discute des résultats d’une étude exploratoire sur la nature, l’étendue et l’impact de la cyberintimidation qu’ont connu 121 membres du personnel enseignant d’une université canadienne. Nous situons la cyberintimidation à l’université sur un continuum entre la cyberintimidation dans les milieux K-12 et celle dans les milieux de travail, tout en tenant compte de la dynamique des pouvoirs qui caractérise le contexte postsecondaire. Des analyses quantitatives et qualitatives de données découlant d’une enquête en ligne ont révélé que, dans les 12 mois qui venaient de s’écouler, 17% des répondants avaient connu la cyberintimidation, soit de la part d’étudiants (12%), soit de la part de collègues (9%). Des écarts selon le sexe se sont révélés et le statut de minorité raciale semblait rendre les membres du personnel enseignant plus vulnérables à la cyberintimidation. Ces résultats suggèrent que dans les situations de cyberintimidation, on pourrait adopter une perspective reposant sur les droits pour d’abord analyser les vulnérabilités des femmes et d’autres membres du personnel enseignant qui sont marginalisés, et ensuite y réagir. Cette étude participe à combler le vide dans la recherche portant sur la cyberintimidation au niveau postsecondaire et soulève le besoin de tenir compte de facteurs de différenciation, tels le sexe et la race, dans le développement de politiques et la mise en pratique de celles-ci.

Thinking who we are becoming : a collage of possibility for teachers
Creators: name: Gupta, Gunita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: As society becomes increasingly influenced by neoliberal ideology, and knowledge and education become slaves to the economy, the concept of the teacher is becoming less rooted in relationships and more in instrumentality. I find this increasing instrumentalization of my profession dehumanizing, where I am left “feeling like a chess piece or a cog or even an accomplice of some kind” (Greene, 1995, p. 11). If we are not to be accomplices in the damaging structural change occurring in our world and profession, I contend that teachers must think ourselves differently—must think the world differently. In this thesis I ask: How might teachers respond to such socio-political forces in ways that recover the relational and open up possibilities for themselves, their students, and the world? I then present one possibility in the form of this thesis as a collage or assemblage of ideas. The deliberate poetics of this piece of creative scholarship is both an exposition and an example of thinking the world differently. By juxtaposing autobiographical, theoretical, and poetic writing in textual collage, I demonstrate how thoughtful articulation and action in myriad forms can succeed to effect change in as yet unimaginable ways. The Prologue and Epilogue are pieces of life writing “promoting emancipatory projects of learning and teaching” (Hasebe-Ludt and Jordan, 2010, p. 2). Together with poetic interludes created from the text of the Prologue, life writing provides the frame of the thesis. I also include historical and contemporary narratives about the education and work of teachers. I conclude the thesis with an exploration of what might be possible for teachers, teaching, and teacher education when we acknowledge the contingency of the educational project.
Living with a Foreign Tongue: An autobiographical narrative inquiry into identity in a foreign language

Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2015

description: Learning a second language involves the development of an identity in the target language. This study is an autobiographical narrative inquiry into the issue of identity in a foreign language. Autobiographical accounts of my relationship with, and my feelings about, English at different stages in my learning journey are developed to show how my identity with English has formed, shifted, and reconstructed. A critical perspective on identity formation is used to shed light on the identities I have lived with at different stages of my learning journey. The high status of English in China turned into my inner motive to acquire an identity as someone who speaks English well. However, at a more advanced competency level, I experienced a crisis of identity split between my English identity and my native Chinese identity, especially after becoming aware of an unequivocal postcolonial linguistic discourse that positions the two languages differently. L’apprentissage d’une langue seconde implique le développement d’une identité dans la langue cible. Cette étude est une enquête narrative autobiographique portant sur la question de l’identité dans une langue étrangère. Je développe des récits autobiographiques sur mon rapport avec la langue anglaise, et mes sentiments au sujet de celle-ci, à différentes étapes de mon parcours d’apprentissage de sorte à démontrer la formation et l’évolution de mon identité linguistique en anglais. Une perspective critique de la formation de l’identité vient éclairer les identités que j’ai développées à différentes étapes de mon parcours d’apprentissage. Le statut élevé de l’anglais en Chine est devenu ma motivation interne d’acquérir une identité comme quelqu’un qui parlait bien l’anglais. Par contre, arrivée à un niveau de compétence plus élevé, j’ai traversé une crise de fragmentation de mon identité où j’étais déchirée entre mon identité en anglais et ma propre identité chinoise, notamment après m’être rendu compte du discours linguistique postcolonial explicite qui accorde des places différentes aux deux langues.

description: The present paper reviews recent advances in the theory of nonlinear driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in slow and Alfven resonant layers. Simple estimations show that in the vicinity of resonant positions the amplitude of variables can grow over the threshold where linear descriptions are valid. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, governing equations of dynamics inside the dissipative layer and jump conditions across the dissipative layers are derived. These relations are essential when studying the efficiency of resonant absorption. Nonlinearity in dissipative layers can generate new effects, such as mean flows, which can have serious implications on the stability and efficiency of the resonance.

description: Crude extracts were extracted from blossoms of Citrus aurantium L. var. amara Engl. with 50% ethanol (CAVAP-E), 50% methanol (CAVAP-M), and hot water (CAVAP-W). CAVAP-W had the highest polyphenol yield of 3.7%. The optimum values of liquid/solid ratio, ultrasonic time, and ultrasonic power were 34.06 mL/g, 1 h, and 81.04 W, respectively. The adsorption characteristics of polyphenols were investigated using different macroporous resins. AB-8 and HP-20 resins offered higher adsorption and desorption capacities. Langmuir equation was more suitable to predict the adsorption of polyphenols. The pseudo second-order model was satisfactory to describe the kinetic data of polyphenols onto AB-8 and HP-20.

DETERMINANTS OF SAVING BEHAVIOUR OF WORKING  WOMEN HOUSEHOLD HEAD IN ARBA MINCH TOWN, GAMO  GOFA ZONE, SNNPR
Creators: name: NEGA MILILIYOS LETO
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: It is a clear and undisputable fact that savings is of great value to a nation’s growth and
development. Mobilizing  both domestic and international savings is necessary for any
society to proceed into self-sustaining economic growth. Higher savings has been proven
to precede economic growth. Therefore the analysis of saving is the analysis of issues of
growth and development.  This study therefore sought to examine the determinants of
savings behavior  of working women household heads using the surveyed data from
selected  household heads  from Gamo Gofa Zone,  SNNPR.  A cross-sectional data was
collected from a sampled  population of  216 sample sizes using systematic sampling
method. The structured interview, focus group discussion and personal observation were
used to collect data. Collected data was analyzed by stata version 11 software packages.
Tobit regression analysis was used to understand the factors that influence the possibility
of  the level of savings of households. Thus as income increase the mean savings also
increase and those people living in the urban areas have highest saving and it is
statistically significant. Savings increased with age and the highest savings was recorded
at 32 years beyond which savings begin to decline. The availability of financial institution
affects saving positively but people have information gap. As people increased their level
of educational attainment, their mean savings also increased and as the  number of
household size increased, the level of savings decreased. Unmarried or single also saved
higher than married couples. Thus unplanned expenditures tend to take the bulk of people
savings than the planned expenditures. The study therefore recommended for government
policies to be geared towards subsidizing the cost of higher education since it induced
higher savings. Also sensitization programs on National Health Insurance Service should
be intensified to enable many people to enroll on the program since those registered with
the scheme had higher savings.

description: Beekeeping is common and one of the agricultural activities used as good source of off-farm
income to farmers in Ethiopia in generally, and particularly in the study area. As part of the
effort to encourage and increase honey production the regional  government disseminates
considerable number of improved box hives to farmers as technology promotion. The objectives
of the study are  to  identify  determinant of adoption of improved box hive technology  and
profitability of  smallholder farmers  in Bule Hora woreda, west Guji zone of Oromia Regional
State, Ethiopia. Both primary and secondary data sources and qualitative and quantitative data
types were utilized. Multi-stage  sampling was employed to identify sample respondents. The
sample respondents were stratified into adopters and non-adopters of improved box hive. Out of
148 total sample respondents 30 adopters and 118 non-adopters were identified. The data were
collected using structured interview schedule, key informant discussion and  observation.
Descriptive statistics,  partial budgeting technique and  econometric models were  employed.
Partial budgeting result  reveals that the beekeepers benefited by adopting  improved box hive.
OLS model results reveals the  extension contact, honey  quantity  produced, selling price, and
total number of hive under production were significant factors affecting profitability of adopters.
The first hurdle  result of adoption decision of  improved box hive indicated that beekeeping
experience, distance to woreda town, frequency of extension contact, sex, age, education status,
access to  input were significant factors.  Moreover,  the second hurdle result of intensity of
improved box hive adoption revealed that frequency of extension contact, livestock holding, age,
sex, access to input, family size and labor force were  found to be significant factors. Thus, the
woreda office of agriculture and rural developments, NGO’s and concerned stockholders should
give  due attention to these significant  variables  in the study area to boost  improved box hive
adoption and its intensity use thereby increase profitability of small holder beekeepers.

description: The ubiquitous role of the cyber-infrastructures, such as the WWW, provides myriad opportunities for machine learning and its broad spectrum of application domains taking advantage of digital communication. Pattern classification and feature extraction are among the first applications of machine learning that have received extensive attention. The most remarkable achievements have addressed data sets of moderate-to-large size. The 'data deluge' in the last decade or two has posed new challenges for AI researchers to design new, effective and accurate algorithms for similar tasks using ultra-massive data sets and complex (natural or synthetic) dynamical systems. We propose a novel principled approach to feature extraction in hybrid architectures comprised of humans and machines in networked communication, who collaborate to solve a pre-assigned pattern recognition (feature extraction) task. There are two practical considerations addressed below: (1) Human experts, such as plant biologists or astronomers, often use their visual perception and other implicit prior knowledge or expertise without any obvious constraints to search for the significant features, whereas machines are limited to a pre-programmed set of criteria to work with; (2) in a team collaboration of collective problem solving, the human experts have diverse abilities that are complementary, and they learn from each other to succeed in cognitively complex tasks in ways that are still impossible imitate by machines.

Year: 2017

description: This study is designed to investigate socio economic determinants of under nutrition in children
aged below five years in rural kebeles of Arbaminch Zuria Woreda. In order to achieve the
objectives, the study employed community based cross sectional study  design based on the
data collected from 355 respondents by using multi stage simple random sampling technique.
To analyze the data both descriptive and econometric analysis were used. Therefore, result of
the study revealed that prevalence of under nutrition was estimated to be about 19.2%, 16.1%
and 8.5% in terms of stunting, underweight and wasting respectively. Besides this, a binary
logistic regression analysis illustrated  mother’s education,  decision making power of mother,
mother occupational status,  family size, birth interval among children, household food
insecurity status,  utilization of credit facility, household wealth status,  distance from health
services and child extra feeding practice were identified as factors significantly affecting under
nutrition in the study area.  Therefore, the study revealed that  large family size, low birth
interval among child,  household food insecurity status and unable to take extra feeding
continuously at child hood age were the main determinants for the complexity  of under
nutrition. Finally to overcome these problem, different program and policy interventions
should be designed with careful consideration of linkage of these factors.

Serving the occupation state : Chinese elites, collaboration and the problem of history in post-war China
Creators: name: Henshaw, Jonathan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation examines the problem of Chinese collaboration with Japan during the Second World War. It does so by considering the pre-war context of Republican China’s politics, the ways in which political collaboration occurred during the Japanese occupation, as well as collaboration’s aftermath in the Chinese Civil War and as a problem of postwar history and memory. Methodologically, this study adopts a biographical approach, examining four individuals—Kiang Kang-hu (Jiang Kanghu), Chu Minyi, Hao Pengju and Jiang Zemin—whose lives became entangled with the problem of collaboration as it occurred under the Re-organized National Government (RNG) of Wang Jingwei in Nanjing. Since the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, China entered a period of state fragmentation that saw a series of different political parties, movements, and warlords compete for power under a political culture of factional politicking. This provided the context in which the decision to collaborate with Japan made sense for certain members of China’s “alternate elite” whose anti-communism and opposition to military resistance set them in opposition to the Chinese Communist Party and Jiang Jieshi’s Nationalist Party in Chongqing. Once in office, these individuals pursued policies that were often closely aligned with their pre-war political behaviour or beliefs, including advocating for the republican political model, maintaining the symbolism and policy of the Nationalist Party, or establishing military cliques. Despite this consistency, however, taking office in one of the occupation states established by Japan has been framed as an aberration committed by a particular subset of individuals who have been condemned as traitors, or hanjian, for their moral failure and betrayal of the nation. Stepping back from moral judgment, this study shows that the political fragmentation of pre-war China shaped collaboration under the RNG as politicians attempted to turn occupation into an opportunity to preserve the Republican model, even to perpetuate Nationalist Party policies. Although the occupation failed and the RNG was officially discredited, collaboration has endured as a lingering historical controversy that reflects the lengths to which the Chinese state will go to police the allegiance of individuals, even within the realms of history and memory.

As a novelty, we employ for the first time the running mass definition in the MSbar scheme for deep-inelastic charm and bottom production. We observe an improved stability of the perturbative expansion and a reduced theoretical uncertainty due to variations of the renormalization and factorization scales. As our best estimate we extract from a global fit to fixed-target and HERA collider data for the charm-quark an MSbar mass of m_c(m_c) = 1.01 +- 0.09 (exp) +- 0.03 (th) GeV.

Phase-space consideration on barrier transmission in a time-dependent variational approach with superposed wave packets
Creators: name: Ono, Akira
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A known limitation of time-dependent mean-field approaches is a lack of quantum tunneling for collective motions such as in sub-barrier fusion reactions. As a first step toward a solution, a time-dependent model is considered using a superposition of Gaussian wave packets, to describe the relative motion between two colliding nuclei, which may be simplified to a problem for one particle in one dimension. In this article, how the model describes the potential-barrier transmission is investigated by paying attention to the time evolution of the phase space distribution, which in particular reveals that the behavior of the free propagation of the incoming state is not trivial, depending on the number of superposed wave packets. Passage over the barrier can occur due to the high-momentum components in the incoming state corresponding to energies above the barrier height, which is, however, of classical nature and needs to be distinguished from the true quantum tunneling. Although a transmitted wave packet in some case may end up with an energy lower than the barrier, a difficulty is noticed in guaranteeing the energy conservation when the energies of different exit channels, e.g. of transmission and reflection, are individually measured. To overcome these issues for a description of quantum tunneling is still a challenging problem. This article mainly treats the same system with the same model as in the paper Phys. Lett. B 808 (2020) 135693, arXiv:2006.06944v1 by N. Hasegawa, K. Hagino and Y. Tanimura. However, the conclusion of the present work disagrees with their quick conclusion that quantum tunneling was simulated by the model. Comments are made on this.

description: The origin of solar transition region redshifts is not completely understood. Current research is addressing this issue by investigating three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic models that extend from the photosphere to the corona. By studying the average properties of emission line profiles synthesized from the simulation runs and comparing them to observations with present-day instrumentation, we investigate the origin of mass flows in the solar transition region and corona. Doppler shifts were determined from the emission line profiles of various extreme-ultraviolet emission lines formed in the range of $T=10^4-10^6$ K. Plasma velocities and mass flows were investigated for their contribution to the observed Doppler shifts in the model. In particular, the temporal evolution of plasma flows along the magnetic field lines was analyzed. Comparing observed vs. modeled Doppler shifts shows a good correlation in the temperature range $\log(T$/[K])=4.5-5.7, which is the basis of our search for the origin of the line shifts. The vertical velocity obtained when weighting the velocity by the density squared is shown to be almost identical to the corresponding Doppler shift. Therefore, a direct comparison between Doppler shifts and the model parameters is allowed. A simple interpretation of Doppler shifts in terms of mass flux leads to overestimating the mass flux. Upflows in the model appear in the form of cool pockets of gas that heat up slowly as they rise. Their low temperature means that these pockets are not observed as blueshifts in the transition region and coronal lines. For a set of magnetic field lines, two different flow phases could be identified. The coronal part of the field line is intermittently connected to subjacent layers of either strong or weak heating, leading either to mass flows into the loop or to the draining of the loop.

The initial functions of the MOI were threefold: news and press censorship; home publicity; and oversees publicity in Allied and neutral countries”. This collection contains Press Notices and Bulletins published by the MOI between 1939-1945. The Press Notices and Bulletins are among many publications and films issued by the agency during the war.
On fair pricing of emission-related derivatives

description: Tackling climate change is at the top of many agendas. In this context, emission trading schemes are considered as promising tools. The regulatory framework for an emission trading scheme introduces a market for emission allowances and creates a need for risk management by appropriate financial contracts. In this work, we address logical principles underlying their valuation.

Formation of millisecond pulsars with long orbital periods by accretion-induced collapse of white-dwarfs

description: Accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of massive white-dwarfs (WDs) has been proposed as an important way for the formation of neutron star (NS) systems. An oxygen-neon (ONe) WD that accretes H-rich material from a red-giant (RG) star may experience the AIC process, eventually producing millisecond pulsars (MSPs), known as the RG donor channel. Previous studies indicate that this channel can only account for MSPs with orbital periods $>500\,\rm d$. It is worth noting that some more MSPs with wide orbits ($60-500\,\rm d$) have been detected by recent observations, but their origin is still highly uncertain. In the present work, by employing an adiabatic power-law assumptions for the mass-transfer process, we performed a large number of complete binary evolution calculations for the formation of MSPs through the RG donor channel in a systematic way. We found that this channel can contribute to the observed MSPs with orbital periods in the range of $50-1200\,{\rm d}$, and almost all the observed MSPs with wide orbits can be covered by this channel in the WD companion mass versus orbital period diagram. The present work indicates that the AIC process provides a viable way to form MSPs with wide orbits.

An Inquiry-Based Approach to Critical Literacy: Pedagogical Nuances of a Second Grade Classroom
Creators: name: Beach, Pamela

description: This case study explores the pedagogy and practices of an elementary school teacher who combines inquiry pedagogy and critical literacy. The authors gathered data for this analysis by conducting two interviews with a classroom teacher and observing classroom practices 12 times over a 6 month period. Through a general inductive approach to analysis, trends emerged that showed the classroom teacher used practices that combined traditional inquiry pedagogy for critical literacy development. This research provides insight into how this elementary teacher negotiated and connected inquiry to critical literacy. Furthermore, the findings can inform scholars and teacher educators of successful teaching strategies as they prepare future generations of elementary teachers. Cette étude de cas explore la pédagogie et les pratiques d’une enseignante à l’élémentaire qui allie pédagogie d’enquête et littératie critique. La cueillette de données s’est faite par deux entrevues auprès d’une enseignante titulaire et douze observations en salle au cours de six mois. Une approche inductive à l’analyse a révélé des tendances indiquant que l’enseignante employait des pratiques qui intègrent une pédagogie d’enquête traditionnelle au développement de compétences essentielles à la littératie. Cette recherche donne un aperçu des démarches de l’enseignante pour négocier et lier enquête et littératie. De plus, les résultats présentent aux chercheurs et aux formateurs d’enseignants des stratégies pédagogiques efficaces et fructueuses dont peuvent profiter les générations futures d’enseignants à l’élémentaire.

$J/ψ$ associated production with a bottom quark pair from the Higgs boson decay in next-to-leading order QCD

description: In this work, we investigate the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD correction to $J/ψ$ associated production with a bottom quark pair from the Higgs boson decay within the nonrelativistic QCD framework. From numerical results, {we find that the decay width of process $H \rightarrow b+ J/ψ+\bar{b}$ at leading order (LO) mainly comes from the contribution of the Fock state $^3S^{(8)}_1$, and the NLO QCD corrections significantly enhance the decay width at LO accuracy by about 2 times. At NLO accuracy, the Fock states $^3S^{(8)}_1$ and $^3P^{(8)}_J$ channels give the main contribution, accounting for about $68\%$ and $29\%$ of the total decay width of $J/ψ$ associated production with a bottom quark pair at NLO accuracy from the Higgs boson decay, respectively. Considering the dominant contribution of color octet (CO) channels at NLO accuracy, the inclusive decay process $H\to b+J/ψ+\bar b + X$ has the potential to be found in future colliders with high energy/luminosity.} The study of $J/ψ$ associated production with a bottom quark pair from the Higgs boson decay is not only useful to study the mechanism of color-octet, but also to assist in the investigation of the coupling for the Higgs boson with the bottom quark.

description: Effective and appropriate communication is critical for the successful integration of newcomers in Canada. In this paper, we describe the intercultural communicative competence beliefs and practices of 70 adult English as a second language (ESL) instructors. Responses to an online survey indicated a strong belief in the value of integrating intercultural communicative competence into their instruction; however, instructors’ reported classroom practices revealed that culture was addressed in varying degrees and that intercultural communicative competence was not systematically developed. Findings suggest that enhanced instructor education, appropriate materials development, and research investigating the effective pedagogical development of intercultural communicative competence in the language learning classroom are needed. La communication efficace et appropriée est critique pour une intégration réussie des nouveaux arrivants au Canada. Dans cet article, nous décrivons les croyances et les pratiques relatives à la compétence communicative interculturelle de 70 enseignants d’anglais langue seconde aux adultes. D’après leurs réponses à un sondage en ligne, les enseignants croient fermement en la valeur de l’intégration de la compétence communicative interculturelle dans leur pédagogie; toutefois, les commentaires des enseignants portant sur leur pratiques en salle de classe indiquent qu’ils traitent la culture à des degrés variables et qu’ils ne développent pas de la compétence communicative interculturelle systématiquement. Les résultats portent à croire qu’il faudrait offrir une formation accrue aux enseignants, développer du matériel approprié et entreprendre de la recherche traitant du développement efficace de la compétence communicative interculturelle dans les cours de langue.
