focus on communication in iranian high school language classes: a study of the role of teaching materials in changing the focus onto communication in language classes

چکیده ارتباط در کلاس به عوامل زیادی از جمله معلمان، دانش آموزان، برنامه های درسی و از همه مهم تر، مواد آموزشی وابسته است. در تدریس ارتباطی زبان که تاکید زیادی بر توانش ارتباطی دارد، کتاب درسی به عنوان عامل موثر بر پویایی کلاس محسوب میگردد که درس ها را از طریق فراهم آوردن متن ارتباط کلاسی و هم چنین نوع تمرین زبانی که دانش آموزان در طول فعالیت های کلاسی به آن مشغول اند، کنترل می کند. این حقیقت ک...

Final Complementizers in Hybrid Languages

Functional Projections and Dutch Complementizers

Formal grammar ooers two ways of analysing complementizers, i.e. as heads of their own phrasal projection (CP) or as nonhead sisters of verbal projections. Within HPSG, both treatments have been argued for, the former in Sag (to appear), the latter in Pollard & Sag (1994). In this paper, I will assess the pros and cons of both options on the basis of a number of Dutch complementizers. 1 Two way...

Title : Epistemic complementizers – a cross - linguistic survey

Presentation: Oral presentation As they are most often thought of, complementizers may be defined as linguistic expressions that have a particular function: the function of identifying the clauses in which they occur as complements (Noonan 2007: 55). In addition to this function, however, complementizers may have a modal function (e.g. Frajzyngier 1995). In Jacaltec, for instance, the complemen...

On self-complementation

We prove that, with very few exceptions, every graph of order n, n = 0, 1 (mod 4) and size a t most n 1, is contained in a self-complementary graph of order n. We study a similar problem for digraphs. Throughout the paper, G and D will denote a finite graph and a finite digraph, respectively, without loops or multiple edges, with vertex-sets V(G) and V ( D ) , and edge-sets E(G) and E(D); defin...
