1. Linguistic and Communicative Competence.

Author

Paulston, Christina Bratt

Subjects
COMMUNICATIVE competence, FOREIGN language education, COMPETENCE & performance (Linguistics), SOCIAL interaction, LANGUAGE teachers, PSYCHOLINGUISTICS, FLUENCY (Language learning), DIALECTS
Abstract

The article examines the notion of communicative competence and the implications that can be drawn from it for language teaching. The impetus for the paper came from the author's experience in Sweden last year. Within the last five years there has been an increasing and justified concern for communicative activities in language teaching. The evidence of it can be seen in the titles of papers, articles and dissertations. A conference was held in England last year on "The Communicative Teaching of English." Communicative competence is not simply a term, but is a concept basic to understanding social interaction. It is commonplace to point out that the tenets and concepts of a discipline profoundly influence the questions one asks and the solutions one seeks. The author suggests a model for language teaching which sets a framework for identifying and discussing strategies and techniques in the teaching process, taking into account the social meaning of language. The necessity to develop communicative competence is especially important in second language and second dialect teaching.

2. THE MOTOR CAR AND THE TERRITORIAL AGGRESSION THESIS: SOME ASPECTS OF THE SOCIOLOGY OF THE STREET.

Author

Richman, Joel

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, to outline some of the reasons for the relative neglect of sociologists to study or give emphasis in their analyses to transport systems and, in particular, to social interaction in the social conduit of the street. The second aim is to present some of the sociological factors relating to the behavior of different types of road users in the Greater Manchester area. The frame of reference adopted from which the data have been primarily assembled has been that of the city's traffic wardens. More specifically, the analysis will polarise around an examination of the territorial-defence theory of aggression, which has been operationalised quite recently, as an explanation for the violent behavior of motorists on the road and the resulting high incidence of fatalities and serious injuries. The tremendous impact the motor car has had on society and everyday life is self-evident. It has produced its own code of law; its own language; it creates ephemeral, new hierarchies of prestige on the road; and, not least, it has its own collective and privatized, symbolic meanings.

3. IMPRESSIONS OF FAMILY LIFE IN A LONDON SUBURB.

Author

Shaw, Lulie A.

Abstract

The article focuses on family life in London, England suburb. The material presented in this paper was collected in the course of a study of an urban general practice made by the Social Medicine Research Unit of the Medical Research Council during 1950-52. It relates to the way of life, and the family and social relationships, of a group of families within that practice, and it is the kind of material that often lies unused in research flies. It also provided a basis for assessing the characteristics of the group; characteristics which cannot be left out of account if any attempt is to be made to understand the factors which influence the behavior of patients in health and illness. The young wife of a man who had recently set up in business on his own volunteered the information that she and her husband could talk about everything and anything together, she thought that modern girls were not afraid of their husbands, as the older generation hat been, and so they could be companions for each other and do things together.

25. The sociology of the betting shop.

Author

Newman, Otto

Subjects
GAMBLING, SOCIAL interaction, SOCIOLOGY
Abstract

The article focuses on the betting shop located in London, England's East End street market. A market in which the large number of stalls offer a rich variety of commodities, chiefly foodstuffs and apparel. The accent is on price, on repeatable bargains, clearance lines, bankrupt or fire stocks, with occasional innuendoes to bargains owing their value to stuff being nicked. The market is patronized largely by the local population, a heterogeneous mixture of White and Black, Gentile, Jew and Moslem, of firmly rooted and transient, locally born and bred and recently immigrated. They all seem to be able to count on their stable, regular clientele. Although punters, apart from other considerations affecting preferences, will after a prolonged unsuccessful run be inclined to switch custom. Naturally some punters will change under impact of external forces, new job, new home, a new set of mates, and many others, the floaters, will lay their bets at whichever betting shop happens to be most convenient at the time.

26. SOCIAL LIFE IN A PROVINCIAL UNIVERSITY.

Author

Eden, Alice

COLLEGE students, UNIVERSITIES & colleges, SOCIAL participation, SOCIAL interaction, QUALITY of life
Abstract

In this article the author discusses social life in a provincial university. Unsatisfactoriness of provincial universities is felt to be fundamentally due to the fact that they are non-residential. Since, the prestige of universities like Oxford University, England and Cambridge University, England attracts students who, for a complex of reasons, tend to have greater home advantages, it follows that provincial university students tend to come from homes with relatively cultural standards. If residential existence is impossible, the best substitute is participation in as large and varied a number of student activities as is compatible with proper attention to study. Students, therefore, who are desirous of getting the most out of their university course should be willing to stay on other classes for the day have finished, in order to take some part in these activities. The real life of the university, according to this theory, is found to be in student societies, and the heart of it all the students' union. In fact, from whatever angle we approach the question of the students' personal and social life we find that teaching is basic. We cannot separate teaching and social life in a university and expect the latter to make good deficiencies of the former. If the teaching is in a healthy state, so will the social life be.
