This article aims to succinctly discuss the ideological conflicts inside the Brazilian Communist Party (Partido Comunista Brasileiro) as well as point the main events leading up to it, ranging from Nikita Kruschev’s delations of the crimes committed by Stalin to the defragmentation of the party into several left-wing organizations that fought against the military dictatorship - some even engaging in armed guerilla actions.

Paper Title :: Phonological Aspects of Loanword Adaptation in Kinyarwanda
Author Name :: Jacques Lwaboshi Kayigema || Davie Elias Mutasa
Country :: South Africa
Page Number :: 08-27
Kinyarwanda, like many other languages in contact, has adapted foreign words to meet the needs of its daily life vocabulary and activity. In addition to the lexical need filling, Kinyarwanda borrowed from other languages not only out of need for foreign words but also for the mere prestige of using foreign words. This research focuses on the sifting of phonological foreign segments of loanwords into Kinyarwanda. The findings show that Kinyarwanda is not an isolated case in a language contact. The weaker speaker borrows from the stronger, and the borrowed words are allocated to specific areas. The recipient language adapts and nativizes foreign elements from the donor languages in its own language system. The data were collected from various sources, including publications, daily conversation, newspapers, Bible literature, school text books, commercial posters, hoardings. The database of the work was compiled without any comprehensive dictionary which may give detailed information on loanwords. The study analyses some loanwords from French and English words in a bilingual context. It is a challenging task for other researchers who will have to deal with the complexity of the phonological adaptation loanwords into a borrowing language.
Keywords: loanword, adaptation, English, French, Kinyarwanda, phonological aspects

Paper Title :: The Role of Iranian EFL Teachers in Transition Period: Compensating Lacks and Deficiencies from Traditional Methods to Post-communicative Era
Author Name :: Seyed Mojtaba Jafari
Country :: Iran
Page Number :: 28-38
Scrutinizing the history of English teaching in Iranian school context, you can detect a succession of changes and many ups and downs, based on some rationales or personal preferences of some individuals. In recent years, thanks to the perceived changes in the prospects and needs of the learners and to the dissatisfaction of the society at large with the inability of the students to use English communicatively, English is now viewed mainly as a tool for communication. As a result, it has been decided to adopt a communicative-oriented language teaching as the dominant method of English instruction in Iran culminating in compiling textbook series entitled “PROSPECT”. Although it is a step-forward and encouraging movement, numerous current finings and research-based achievements in the field of language teaching in general and those attributed to the so-called post method condition in particular are, for one reason or another, not paid due attention in this series and probably will be so in the future senior high school series (VISION). In this article, some of the requirements and preparations needed for the high school English teachers to compensate for the limitations and inefficiencies of adopting the “one-size-fits-all” approach to language teaching in Iranian high school context will be addressed and some guidelines in the light of recent research and expert opinions of 11 Ph.D. holders or candidates and researchers in TEFL, who have been or are high school English teachers, will be provided. Hopefully, it will shed some light for the teachers as to what preparations to make to be “reflective” teachers, act efficiently within the limitations imposed by the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Education and, considering local conditions and needs, adopt appropriate procedures and strategies to compensate for the probable lacks and deficits of the prospective textbooks.

Author Name :: Alfonso Ortega Giménez || Lerdys Heredia Sánchez
Country :: Spain
Page Number :: 39-47
The purpose of this article is to perform a critical analysis of the procedure for determining the age of unaccompanied foreign minors in Spain and the detrimental effects that may arise from establishing the legal status of these minors. One of the basic aspects dealt with is that relating to the assessment of the age of the foreign individual, which in accordance with current regulations, will be performed according to the personal law applicable; an issue that is infringed by the Spanish Administration in this process. Furthermore, it approaches the most controversial issues that have come to light in the procedure to determine age in doubtful cases and whether or not they are related the doctrine established by the Spanish Supreme Court, which the Public Prosecutor's office repeatedly fails to implement through its ignorance of the legal effects of foreign documents and by systematically carrying out medical tests on minors.
Keywords: unaccompanied foreign minor, age, legal uncertainty, legal status, age of majority, minority.
