Andrea Rossi - Il co-design degli immaginari turistici nei progetti di promoz...Andrea Rossi
Mio intervento al Tourism Think Tank 2016 a Milano, in cui parlo del co-design degli immaginari turistici nei progetti di promozione territoriale partecipata in ottica di Tourist Experience Design (R). Gli strumenti tecnologici di comunicazione sono necessari, ma non sufficienti, per promuovere efficacemente una destinazione turistica. E’ necessario lavorare sulle molteplici dimensioni del brand territoriale, da un lato attraverso il coinvolgimento dei residenti per definire e condividere le identità turistiche e i valori territoriali, sia materiali che simbolici, da un altro lato mediante l’analisi, il co-design e la narrazione degli immaginari turistici legati alla destinazione e al suo posizionamento, veicolando nel sistema mediale il vero messaggio di valore per i turisti, ossia le esperienze turistiche specificamente progettate per loro.
Challenges in Negotiating Meaning in Literary Texts: The Case of English as a...inventionjournals
The paper sought to establish the root causes of English as a Second Language (ESL) students’ poor performance in literary texts at tertiary level. It reviewed literature based on the studies conducted on English as a Second Language and English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Some of the findings include: lack of vocabulary hinders ESL students from understanding literary texts; lack of background knowledge and cultural background results in a lack of understanding of the literary texts; and texts which are not culturally related and difficult reduce students’ interest in reading literary texts.

Code-Switching in Urdu Books of Punjab Text Book Board, Lahore, PakistanBahram Kazemian
The study highlights English code-switching in Punjab Urdu textbooks. The research aims at finding and categorizing Urdu-English code-switches. Another rationale behind the study is to present Urdu equivalents of the switches from an Urdu-English dictionary; for instance, adakar for actor and sayyah for tourist. Textbooks of 5th, 6th, 9th and 10th class are selected for data collection and analysis. A number of instances are observed at morpheme, word, phrase and clause levels. Data is analyzed qualitatively. The data analysis shows switches at all the mentioned levels. The researchers propose a revision of the existing textbooks in the light of the given equivalents and a careful scrutiny of the compilation of future textbooks to preserve the purity of Urdu language.
