Intercultural Communicative Competence – A Floating Signifier

Intercultural Communicative Competence – A Floating Signifier

Linda Huber

Peter Lang International Academic Publishers
2021
nidottu
In the field of language education, intercultural communicative competence has become a widely used concept. But what is intercultural communicative competence? Although the term is often understood as universally applicable, it comes with manifold nuances. The ambiguity ranges from underlying definitions to corresponding competences, forms of assessment and their operationalisation. Furthermore, an empirical foundation for models of intercultural competence is scarce. This book presents the findings of a qualitative research study on the views of language students, and critically analyses the speculative components of intercultural communicative competence regarding their feasibility in the study abroad context. It is argued that the notion represents a contingent and hegemonial interpretive scheme (Deutungsmuster), a floating signifier, which needs to be amended for particular circumstances. The critical reflection on intercultural competence in the light of real-life examples may serve as an incentive for an alternative approach to intercultural competence in foreign language teaching and contribute valuable information to the preparation of training sessions before a stay abroad.

"Nassau's Historic Landmarks" attempts to capture through photography, the form and beauty of some of the oldest and most architecturally outstanding buildings of Nassau. From its early days of a few shacks in the 1660s, through attacks by enemies of Britain, it first development as a modern town was begun by Woodes Rogers in the early 18th century. The advent of the Loyalists from America in the 1780s transformed Nassau with the development of the Bahamian Colonial style of architecture. Changes in the economy of Nassau over the last 200 years, together with hurricane damage, have affected the architecture of different areas but the dominant Bahamian Colonial style continues to be adapted and used in some modern buildings. The book comprises maps, etchings and over 130 photographs with detailed captions. It records many of the historic buildings which are a part of the Bahamian heritage, and emphasizes the need for the continued conservation and preservation of historic Nassau.

He roamed the marshes of Cameron Parish in Louisiana when he was ten, and hunted rabbits using barrel staves as weapons. He rode out the hurricane of 1918 in a ditch with his family while everything they owned blew away. They moved to Lake Charles, and he spent his thirteenth summer hunting and skinning alligators. He attended Lake Charles High School where he excelled in all sports: football, basketball, and track, but his first love was always baseball. In 1930 he left for Springfield, Missouri, to play for the Springfield Midgets. Thus began a journey that took him from the bayous of Louisiana to the merry-go-round of professional baseball in St. Louis, Hollywood, San Diego, and Pittsburgh. He got cussed out by Babe Ruth, ate Sunday dinners with the DiMaggios, and drove Ted Williams to practice and games since Ted was too young to drive. He returned to Louisiana after his baseball career to come full circle skinning alligators once again.

A famous journalist returns to his hometown for a class reunion and faces down a painful episode from his past. A young wife discovers that sleeping on satin sheets is highly overrated. The story of Little Red Riding Hood takes on a Cajun twist when Ti-Rouge meets up with the kokodree-a big, bad alligator. For entertainment with a Cajun feel, spend a couple of nights with these and other characters in the pages of this collection.

Stardust in My Hand: Selected Poems

Linda Hebert Todd

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
Stardust In My Hand is a diverse medley of poems collected over a span of twenty years. Since the collection doesn't follow a central theme it is divided into four sections. Part I: Mementos follows the author from a childhood with two imaginary playmates (see Two Friends) to her later years and the pain of losing a grandson (see The Girl on the Side of the Road.) Part II: Louisiana captures the flavor of life in her beloved state-from Mardi Gras to hurricanes. Part III: Oddments is a miscellany of unrelated poetry such as two ekphrastic poems written after looking at paintings, and many poems written in response to the Poem a Day Challenge held in November and April every year. Part IV: The Old Lie is self-explanatory, conveying the author's deep feelings about war and were written from the point of view of one who waits in fear for the uniforms to appear at the front door. Five of the poems were winners or finalists in contests: Arlington; Deer in the Wood; I Remember; The Girl on the Side of the Road; and Death of a Queen.
