International Conference 12th May 2018 Kangnam University, Seoul, South Korea Title: In Search of Balance: Gender, Culture and Bureaucracy Areas Included : Pedagogy, Women's Rights, Bureaucracy Crossing borders is much more than just moving past a man-made barrier. The most powerful of borders has no walls, wires or security because the most difficult border to cross is the human mind, which can shut itself more tightly than a prison in the cruelest of dictatorships. With this seemingly impenetrable wall in place, how can the mind be crossed in order to make students more receptive to learning? What factors undermine the ability of an educator to effectively conduct lessons and how can these be overcome? Come on a journey with a sociolinguist and gain a deeper understanding of the labyrinth of issues in education such as gender, culture and bureaucracy. Gender is an area of concern where there is a consistent bias in terms of education and this must be addressed. Gender discrimination in the classroom must be promptly dealt with, but how? A groundbreaking concept will be introduced, rather than gender equality, the new philosophy of gender equivalentism. Further, culture has profound ramifications on how the learning process is understood. How can culture be utilised, overcome or sidestepped? Then, the nightmare, yes a seemingly never ending abyss, the quagmire that stops progress, bureaucracy. Learn how to make allies and friends in the system to streamline learning and improve its quality. Not a presentation for the faint hearted, making you question what you understand and how you understand it. Korea Tesol Association (KOTESOL) 대한영어교육학회
International Conference 21-22 October 2017 Sookmyung Women's University, Seoul, South Korea Title: Ghost in the Shell: Discussing the Future of Language Teaching Areas Included : Cognitive Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Artificial Intelligence, Technology Assisted Teaching Methodology Technology has always been the subject of heated debate. In every age, this seems to be a reoccurring issue. In the industrial age, there was a backlash where workers felt threatened by the advent of new machinery. That was then, however, in our age the hybridisation of man and machine has been a growing reality, inspiring all manner of science fiction film and novel. Humans are now more connected than ever in history, with this interconnectivity there comes many problems. For the teacher the management of technology in the classroom and the exclusion of the undesirable effects of excessive technological use are areas of concern. Also, the outsourcing of educational expertise on digital formats means that the role of the teacher in some places is being redefined. Guided by an expert in the field and member of the Belgium-Netherlands Cognitive Linguistics Association this dialogue will take into consideration the sociolinguistic and cognitive linguistic reasons that even sophisticated technology or hominoid robotics cannot replace the human teacher. It will also discuss how teachers have integrated technology into the classroom as well as the superiority of the face-to-face format of teaching as opposed to the purely technology based approach. In addition,the will be discussion on the points of caution and the ethics involved in the use of technology especially the need for caution in social network services and how student interface with technology can be appropriately controlled. Audience members will be expected to participate and give their views as well as share their experience and ideas. |

Theoretical Framework of Gender Equivalentism
BROLLY. JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES 1 (1), 69-85. https://www.journals.lapub.co.uk/index.php/Brolly/article/view/26/11. (United Kingdom) Feminism stems from the desire of equality for females and to enhance their rights within society. While being a noble endeavour, the original purpose of and search for a higher ethic which was promised by feminism have both been derailed by undesirable elements. Further, more traditionally conservative countries are resistant to the idea due to these undesirable elements being viewed as an affront to traditional values and an attack on the culture itself. The argument in such cultures is that both genders are inherently different and therefore cannot be equal. Antiquated as this viewpoint may be, there is a need to educate people in a way that is more acceptable and appealing to the general society and not merely to force feed a concept in the manner that many feminist ideologies have insisted on. To promote the equal rights of girls and women a concise and universally acceptable core or theoretical framework is required, one which embraces the differences between genders whilst demeaning neither for any such difference and going further to accept that such differences may not apply to every individual. “The theoretical framework of gender equivalentism” provides a compendious framework for ethical behaviour to ensure the equal treatment of women without the need for a strictly feministic interpreted approach. The Naudé Hypothesis. A tool for Semantic Listening
© GRIN Verlag / Open Publishing GmbH. Germany ISBN(pdf): 9783668622883 PDF version ISBN(Book): 9783668622890 Newton’s Third Law was written as a foundation for much of the understanding of physics. However, the underlying principal of oppositional forces is applicable to various fields of understanding, including the sociolinguistic understanding of semantics. Ethnic groups, governmental forces, institutions of learning and religion all interact to change language and be changed by language itself. While this is a known fact, documenting or understanding the exact interchange and opposition or interaction between two forces has not been sufficiently explored. To facilitate this exploration, the Naudé Hypothesis provides a simplified basis for the theoretical framework and a linguistic model from which to analyse patterns that result from the oppositional forces of two interacting entities in an attempt to understand the meaning behind meanings- semantics. |

Ghost in the Shell: Discussing the Future of Language Teaching
Korea TESOL ㅡ PAC 2017 International Conference - EXTENDED SUMMARIES
Humans’ long relationship with technology has been characterized by distrust and resistance to change. Our biology is designed for language use yet in pedagogy we as a species exhibit the same distrust of technology due to its perceived potential for change which is then often vehemently resisted. This discussion attempts to highlight genetic factors in social language use, the way in which technology has augmented the way humans learn language as well as notes of caution and encouragement in the implementation of technology in pedagogy.

Translation of fragment c. 1450 of the Torah from Ben Ezra synagogue, Egypt.
European Journal of Language Studies, 4 (2), 1-5. Volume 4 Issue 2
(Click to read)
The preservation of ancient texts is vital for understanding not only culture and ensuring the survival of traditions but also to safeguard this linguistic heritage for future generations as well as to give more scholars access to manuscripts, thereby allowing for translation and expansion of linguistic knowledge. Cross comparison of texts and translations can then be conducted for the purpose of understanding grammar, content, stylistic change over periods and to ascertain the reliability of copies when compared over large periods of time. The translation of the Naudé Fragment from Ben Ezra Synagogue is such an attempt. This fragment written circa 1450 provides a brief insight into the scholarly work of Hebrew Soferim (סופר תס“ם (during the Islamic rule of the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt ( سلطنة المماليك Salṭanat al-Mamālīk). This will further provide a source of comparison for Bible translation in unison with the use of older and newer copies of the Sacred writings.

Although multilingualism is by far a new concept little has been done to further the subject in relation to neurolinguistics. The general mood of the education system is too permissive and stagnant, both educational facilities and educators alike should adjust their techniques for their pupil’s benefit. Teachers need to be advised as to how language is acquired and exactly how customs and culture as well as multilingualism in society can affect student perceptions concerning language learning.
Further they need to gain a greater understanding of the neural aspect of language learning and the anatomical as well as biological processes involved in learning. Also to see how multicultural environments benefit language learning by means of social views connected to languages.
