Looking at the pros and cons of three major culture theories today - GLOBE, Hofstede and Trompenaars. This paper also looks at the impact culture has on military transition.
These slides on Culture and Society are about Sociology. These slides help you to get information about different cultures and societies. In these slides you'll find amazing themes with beautiful pictures and some amazing animations. In these slides you'll find different quotes by different scholars and some Quranic verses also.

The paper reviews literature which supports the position that culture is a contributor to economic activities of a nation, and by extension entrepreneurship. The paper identifies and explains cultural factors, attributes and variables considered important to entrepreneurship. The particular cultural values and forces which impact Nigerian entrepreneurship are also discussed. The conclusion is that the identified cultural values and practices can inhibit the evolution of an entrepreneurial culture in Nigeria. Based on the above, the paper recommends a change in values and mindset so as to enable both a high entrepreneurial behaviour and culture in Nigeria.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

“Researching multilingually”
1. The two projects:
– RMly network project (AH/J005037/1)
– RMly@borders project (AH/L006936/1)
1. Building the framework: Contributions from:
– Translanguaging & translingual practice
– Critical & indigenous methodologies
– Ethics and RMly
– Multilingual/intercultural relationships and capabilities
1. Building the methodology: Our “ways of working”
2. Contributions from one case study:
– CS1: Translating the emotional impact of sexual and gender-based
trauma – Uganda
– CS5 Developing TASOL in Gaza – researcher experiences
1. Conclusions
3. 1. The two projects
• RMly network project (AH/J005037/1)
http://researchingmultilingually.com/
(AHRC network grant under the “Translating cultures” theme, 2011-12)
• RMly@borders project (AH/L006936/1)
http://researching-multilingually-at-borders.com/
(AHRC large grant under the “Translating cultures” theme, 2014-17)
4. Aim of the initial RMly network project
To investigate and clarify the epistemological and methodological processes of
researching in more than one language—whether dialogic, observational,
textual, or mediated—and their implications for research design, instruments,
data collection and generation, translation and interpretation, and reporting.
⇒ implications for understanding, reporting, and representation of people of
other languages

5. The “Researching Multilingually”
process
… from the inception of a research project, to designing the
project, the lit review, research questions, research framework,
choice of methods, ethics and reflexivity, analysis, modes of
(re)presentation
6. RMly conceptualisation
1. Intentionality (purposefulness)
• Making informed and intentional researcher decisions
• Researcher reflexivity & sensitivity, identity
2. Relationality/interculturality
• Researcher, supervisor, participants,
translators/interpreters/transcribers
• Trust, ethics, power
3. Researching multilingually spaces
• Research phenomenon (the “what”)
• Context of research (the “where”)
• Linguistic resources of researcher (the “who”)
• Representational possibilities (the language(s) of dissemination,
the “for where” or “for whom”)
=> Interdisciplinary insights ??
7. Concepts of borders and security/insecurity raise
important practical and ethical questions as to how
research might be conducted.
Focus on Methods:
comparing across discipline-specific methods,
interrogating arts and humanities methods where the
body and body politic are under threat,
developing theoretical and methodological insights as
a result.
There are some pockets of work in disciplines but no
overarching framework across multiple disciplines.”
Context of the AHRC large-grant project:
Languages under pressure and pain
(at borders)
8. The project structure
Multimodal complementary methods
Processes
(exploratory, reflexive, ethical)
Researchers
(Research teams: Two hubs, five case study sites, five PhDs)
CATC hub
Performance, artistic
creative methods
RMTC hub
Academic, investigative,
comparative methods
9. The five case studies
CS1: Translating the Emotional Impact of Sexual and Gender-
Based Trauma [Uganda] (University of Glasgow)
CS2: Translating Vulnerability and Silence into the Legal Process
(UG & University of Nijmegen)
CS3: Working and Researching Multilingually at State (and
European Union [Romania & Bulgaria]) Borders (UG)
CS4: Multilingual Ecologies in the American Southwest
Borderlands (University of Arizona)
CS5: Arabic as a Foreign Language for International Learners
(IUG, Gaza)
10. RMly@Borders brief …
… the members of the RMTC 'hub' will lead the
development of integrated conceptual and
methodological approaches, tools, and methods for
researching translation processes and practices at
borders where bodies are often at risk, in pain and/or
in transition
11. RMTC Hub RQs (from proposal)
• How do researchers generate, translate, interpret and write
up data (dialogic, mediated, textual, performance) from one
language to another?
• What ethical issues emerge in the planning and execution of
data collection and representation (textual, visual,
performance) where multiple languages are present?
• What methods and techniques improve processes of
researching multilingually?
• How does multimodality (e.g. visual methods, ‘storying’,
performance) complement and facilitate multilingual research
praxis?
• How can researchers develop clear multilingual research
practices and yet also be open to emergent research design?
12. RMTC developments in the
RMly@Borders project
To develop a theoretical understanding of how researchers
draw on their multilingual resources, and those of others, in
multilingual contexts of pressure and pain, e.g., where
people are stateless and homeless due to war, poverty,
persecution, and economic instability.
• Generally, we are concerned with the following:
– what it means to “language”, “be languaged”, “be languagers”, and
“language oneself” in the world today
– what alternatives or other modes of researching and representation
might be possible
– what is unsaid, liminal
– the messiness, precarity, unpredictability of RMly experience
13. 2. Building the framework - Contributions
from:
• Translanguaging & translingual practice
• Critical & indigenous methodologies
• Ethics and RMly
• Multilingual/intercultural relationships and
intercultural capabilities
• Reflective practice
14. Languaging
Languaging is …
•“… being a person in that language in the social and
material world of everyday interactions.” (Phipps,
2011, p. 365)
Languaging – not just cultural work, but translation as
embodiment of feeling, and ways of relating to place
and to words; shared through habitation
Yolland speaks of the land to Marie using the Irish names
Maori identity – whakapapa, mihi
How can researchers draw on languaging in their
researcher praxis?
15. Translingual practice
“My aim has been to provide new research insights into
the ways in which mobile semiotic resources are
negotiated for meaning in global contact zones, and
also to suggest pedago gical[methodological]
approaches to develop such co-operative dispositions
and performative competence for cosmopolitan
relationships” (Canagarajah, 2013, p.202).
How can a translingual approach be nurtured in
researcher praxis?
16. Critical theory - Southern theory
“Southern” emphasises “relations of authority,
exclusion and inclusion, hegemony, partnership,
sponsorship, appropriation—between intellectuals and
institutions in the metropole and those in the world
periphery” (Connell, 2007, p. ix).
How can critical (“Southern”) theory inform a praxis of
RMly?
17. Critical indigenous methodologies
Indigenous communities seek a “set of ethical
principles that are feminist, caring, communitarian,
holistic, respectful, mutual (rather than power
imbalanced), sacred, and ecologically sound”
Denzin, Lincoln and Smith (2008, p. 569)
18. Critical indigenous
methodologies …
seek to address injustices through research processes
that demonstrate an ethical and reciprocal relationship
between researcher and researched.
acknowledge marginalised people and “recognize the
need to avoid forms of representation that maintain
power in traditional locations” (Cannella & Lincoln,
2011, p. 82).
For RMly researchers, they enable the examination of
privilege and exclusion created by language in research
practices.
19. Critical indigenous
methodologies …
… offer frameworks for democratic research that
advocate for voices to be heard—that have been, and
continue to be, marginalised and unauthorised by
dominant (and often colonial) regimes of power.
(Linda Tuhiwai Smith, 1999; 2012)
(Freire, 1972; 1976)
(hooks, 2003)
20. Ethical practice and languages
‘There is a need to recognise the role of languages and
how they are brought into being by all concerned as
researchers “join with,” and “learn from” rather than
“speak for” or “intervene into” others’ lives’ (Cannella
& Lincoln, 2011, p. 83).
21. Ethical practices in Rmly work
Speaking back (and listening)
We have to find ways in which the marginalized can
enter our discourses in their own genres and their own
terms so that we can learn to hear them. They have a
universal right to impart information and ideas
through any media [and any language] and regardless
of frontiers, and we have a duty to listen and
understand them through engaging in new acts of
becoming (Krog, 2011, p. 384).
22. 3. Building the methodology: The “Ways of
working” document
• Exploratory practice
• Reflective practice
23. 4. Contributions from two case studies
CS1: Translating the emotional impact of sexual and
gender-based trauma – Uganda
• Ross White, (Richard Fay, Katja Frimberger)
CS5: Arabic as a foreign language for international
learners – Islamic University of Gaza
• Mariam Attia, Giovanna Fazetta, Katja Frimberger, Maria
Grazia Imperiale, (Prue Holmes)
24. CS1: Translating the emotional impact of
sexual and gender-based trauma - Uganda
Context:
Emotional distress across borders of geography, language, beliefs, and
practices => relevance and validity of interventions
Complex translation processes associated with understanding and
supporting the needs of these people
People are not in a place of their choosing – “moments of precarity” (Butler)
Role of family (not acknowledged in DIME); role of local practices
(witchcraft)
Languages:
English language descriptions of forms of psychopathology predominate in
the training of professionals
Local (Acoli, Swahili), Lango (LF of most of ppts), English
Ppts had access to English via US TV programmes (blurring of
global/local??) => syncretisation
25. The DIME methodology:
some researcher critiques (1)
Method
–Predetermined rather than locally contingent (quant.
instrument for evidence-based medicine)
–What do participants think and say about it => trust?
–Data scribed verbatim - Dangers around written recording
(feelings of “interrogation”)
–Fragility of evidence (meta analysis – reducing narratives into
numbers, e.g., RTCs)
–Positionality - researcher and participants (methods seeks
validity across “countries” => “category” fallacy)
26. The DIME methodology:
some researcher critiques (2)
Language issues:
–Manual - one shared language among Rs and participants;
assumed level of literacy
–Problems with translating the manual
–Social work/psych languaging – discourses of global mental
health
–Western/non W medical language? Violence of language
diagnosis
–Need to use Lango in a culturally and context sensitive way
27. Rmly implications
(for psycho-social interventions)
– Ethnographic/interdisciplinary methods; creative arts
(sensitive, embedded)
• Human & meaning-making element is important - explore narratives
(their meaning), and dignify those stories
• CA => understanding (CA therapeutic in itself); can combat structural
violence & social injustice
• Researcher involvement in research (and context), rather than
research product
– Translation issues (local -> Lango -> English)??
• Violence of language of diagnosis (language wrangles)
• How to translate aspirations & capabilities across borders
• Human development (Sen) => well being, education

28. CS5: Arabic as a Foreign Language
for International Learners
(IUG, Gaza)
Researcher ecologies
Context - Researchers in Glasgow working with
researchers/teachers in Gaza (multimodality and technologies of
communication)
Offices and classrooms at UG and IUG
Katja’s home (Glasgow) to make a film
Mona’s bedroom (Gaza) - by skype
Nazmi’s office at IUG (vacated for the teachers to work in)
29. Researcher ecologies (cont.)
Positioning – Both Rs and R/Ts were co-producers of the
knowledge
“Researcher”/”teacher”/”participant” distinction was collapsed
All in a position of “becoming”, of “being stretched” (Katja)
Reciprocity; reflexivity; intersubjectivity
Trust as a language – Linguistic vulnerability
Four researchers (all multilingual, none English as lst lang)
Qualified to achieve their research objectives?
Student teachers in Gaza (Arabic)
=> Crucial to build a language of trust between researchers and
teachers
30. Researcher ecologies (cont.)
Rapport building - Power sharing—no micromanaging
Important in exploring the modalities of communication
(Grazia)
Patience, resilience, motivation - in realising the project, to
make it successful
Modes of communication
–Language affordances (English; Arabic; Italian)
–technologies (Moodle, Skype)
–nonverbal communication (to allow space for thinking)
31. Theoretical insights
• These ecologies aligned with the values of the researchers in
resisting methods developed in the global North (Southern
theory - Connell)
• => Resisting translation of methods - exportation of language
learning methods developed in TESOL depts in the UK and US =>
Acknowledging and drawing on methods appropriate to Gaza
(indigenous methodologies - Tuhiwai Smith)
• Ethics – reciprocity/speaking back/listening (Cannella &
Lincoln; Krog) – Rs & R/Ts experiment, share, give back =>
“offerings” & “remakings”
• Ethics of equality and “plenty” – All researchers realise their
capabilities => humaneness of the researcher role/context
• Languaging & translingual practice (Phipps; Canagarajah) –
multilinguality of Rs & R/Ts
33. Researching multilingually
praxis…
To ensure the trustworthiness of the research (in contexts of language
marginalisation and discrimination), RMly researchers might consider the following:
•Interrogate hegemonic a-linguistic approaches developed in the “metropole”
•investigate the in-between communicative spaces—the silences, interruptions,
apprehensions, unexplored and unarticulated tensions and decision making—
invoked in the minds of researchers and research participants
•build and nurture relationships underpinned by linguistic power and positioning
among all stakeholders
•contest the language rules, values, and motivations of those initiating, undertaking,
and evaluating the research (project funders, managers, other researchers, policy
implementers)
•Negotiate language policies and regimes at all levels of research (examination,
dissemination, publication)
34. Implications for RMly praxis …
• How do/might these approaches inform researcher
multilingual practice, especially in conditions of
language precarity, marginalisation, and
discrimination?
• What opportunities do they offer for the in-between,
unexplored spaces in researcher praxis?
• What challenges?
• How can the outcomes support change in language
attitudes and policy implementation?

Editor's Notes
[PH – some of this coverage may already be covered in slide 5 above?]
2010 Seminar at Durham University – From researching bilingually to doing Research Multilingually
2011 Colloquium at British Association of Applied Linguistics, UWE annual conference – Doing
research multilingually – diverse approaches and representational choices
Playing with the “ing” form – doing/undertaking, being, being involved in
Dec 2011 AHRC project started
But the focus is on multilingually, not multiculturally!
And on developing researcher competence (DRM)
[PH]
So how to frame RM
1) Intentionality - consider the purposefulness of Rs in their decision making and actions.
These considerations are linked to communicative purpose of the research
Considerations include: data generation (language choices, interviews/FGs, structured/unstructured protocols); data analysis; representation (of people, especially through reporting); literature (use of pubs in another lang); consent forms; policies (rules about lang use, refs – what langs are allowed)
2) R at centre—what they bring/don’t bring; and how all this may inform the character of the study and its subsequent reporting
levels of involvement??
Relational elements (of trust, ethics, power)
3) Interdisciplinary insights
From translation and interpreting studies (understanding the translation element
from linguistics (interlingual glossing)
From cultural anthropology (RM a given, but needs to be problematised)
Etc.
Jane’s slide
Multimodal complementary methods
This case study illustrates that not all the data emergent from the five case study sites can be collected and disseminated/represented using traditional methods. We (i.e., the two hubs) will interrogate the emergent data (cases) from different perspectives, drawing on multimodel, complementary methods.
There are different levels/processes of translation. Some experiences, e.g., emotional, cannot be translated into words, so different modes/media are important.
CATC hub researchers will use performance, artistic, creative methods. Experiencing the research (data) by living the experience with the participants, as this case has illustrated, is important here.
RMTC hub researchers will draw on academic investigative methods, e.g., narrative/discourse/thematic analysis, observations of ppts and researchers, interviews and focus groups.
Processes
Research methods from RMTC hub and translation/performance methods from CATC hub will feed into the “Researching Multilingually” framework – using iterative, reflexive, ethical processes.
Researchers
All these methods and processes are linked to the research going on in the case study sites, and to the work of the 3 PhD students. The processes are iterative ones – of ongoing analyses and ongoing performances throughout the life cycle of the project.
Just as the academic researchers (led by the RMTC hub) will produce academic/praxis-oriented outputs, so will the CATC hub synthesise the various ongoing performances into one culminating play text/performance the encapsulates the translation of the “Researching Multilingually” experience.
These methodological processes are linked to the disciplines embedded in the case studies (e.g., anthropology, applied linguistics, education, ELT, health, law, languages, psychology, sociology)

What happens when sexual and gender-based trauma crosses borders of geography, language, beliefs and practices? How do these various borders impact on the relevance and validity of psychosocial interventions aimed at reducing distress?
Design implementation, monitoring, evaluation
negotiate the institutional parameters of the research site or context: the institutions involved; gatekeepers; the rules and laws that determine or prevent action;; rules about dissemination, publication, or examination (in the case of doctoral research);
