“…The questionnaire was chosen for this investigation. According to William ( 2001), the questionnaire is a good method since it allows the researcher to ask questions and obtain responses without having to speak with individuals from the selected sample (Chitez & Bercuci, 2020;Farouk, 2020). Furthermore, it is a very versatile instrument for meeting the requirements of any investigation.…”

Studying ESP involves more than simply learning a collection of technical linguistic words; it is about learning how to use English in a particular situation while also including the necessary skills and language learning objectives. The current study aimed to examine the rationale for employing the translation method to teach ESP to third-year computer science students at the University of Tlemcen. This study employed a case study approach. A questionnaire was administered to ESP the teachers in the department of Science and Technology, and classroom observations on third-year students of computer science were conducted. The study's findings indicated that students pursuing third-year computer science courses at Tlemcen University experience a range of difficulties while interacting with professional resources. The proposed translation method in ESP may be incorporated and adapted as an effective technique for ESP teachers and students to improve learners’ language skills related to their academic field. Keywords: Content-based approach; ESP Context; ESP courses; ESP Students.

“…To summarise, a proverb is used by the participants of a conversation to intensify semantic, expressive, emotional and sociologic features and, at the same time, the pragmatic potential of a speech (Celik & Yavuz, 2018;Chitez & Bercuci, 2020;Ozbal, 2020;Rahimi & Karimi, 2021). Especially, the usage of a proverb containing graduonymic relations provides to convey the above-mentioned features and pragmatic potential of the speech much more obviously than the usage of a proverb without graduonymy in the same context (Cavus & Sekyere-Asiedu, 2021;Issayev et al, 2022;Mguwata, 2020;Sahin & Hotun Sahin, 2018).…”

Nowadays, pragmatic features of proverbs are of great interest to linguists as proverbs are often used in conversations to polish speech stylistically, semantically and, at the same time, pragmatically. Paradigms such as synonymy, antonymy and polysemy were investigated as lexical-semantic relations in proverbial content in recent works. This research is devoted to analysing another lexical-semantic relation in proverbial content: graduonymic relations and their types, which are frequently seen in proverbial content, and their role in the pragmatic peculiarities of proverbs in particular contexts. The empiric corpus-based analysis of proverbs containing graduonyms in the chosen text fragments that were created by native speakers of the English language served to disclose the pragmatics of proverbs such as graduonyms function as various types of deixis, emphasise the speech act steps of the proverb and increase the pragmatic potential of the proverb. The results of the paper are discussed in the context of theoretical and pragmatic perspectives. Keywords: Deixis, graduonymy, pragmatics, proverb, speech act;

“…For instance, Russian technical universities allocate lots of face-to-face hours to analysis of formal grammar rules and phenomena; however, most often, grammar exercises do not ensure any practical use of professional terms in grammar structures of the engineering discourse. In the recent decades, Russian and foreign researchers in the field of learning content and quality of specialized learning have been concentrating on information (Chitez et al, 2020;Valeeva et al, 2019;Murzo et al, 2019;Gerasimova et al, 2020) and corpus resources (Boulton, 2016;Boulton et al, 2017;Ma et al, 2022). A turn to those resources provides comprehensive reference data (Rogers et al, 2021;Durovic, 2021) about use of terminological lexical units (Skornyakova et al, 2021;Vinogradova et al, 2020) and grammar structures (Brooke, 2022) in the natural language environment, thus contributing to a higher quality of translation and deepening the insights into the norms of modern language.…”

This article deals with application of the corpus approach in ESP teaching to Bachelors of Engineering and Technology in order to reach their research goals of finding and selecting authentic language contexts, analyzing and classifying grammar structure, making conclusions about grammar environment of the terminological units, selecting the best translation method and enriching their basic terminological vocabulary. Work with the text corpus as the source of comprehensive information about actual use of terminological units can be treated as the backbone in searching for empirical and supportive material about various grammatical environments of the terminological units and further use of such information to make foreign language learning more effective. Work with the authentic text corpus develops skills of correct use of terminological units and ensures management of the learning outcomes level thanks to a vast array of examples found in the natural context environment used by native speakers. The educational experiment included three stages (introductory, operational and final); introductory and final tests, analysis and processing of the statistical learning data. In the course of the educational experiment, the experimental group of bachelors was taught to work with the corpus data and analyze the grammar environment of the terminological units, in addition to other available classical educational methods and learning aids. The outcome of the experimental learning included great improvement in information coverage when translating professional texts, correct use of terminological units in grammar structures, and terminological vocabulary enriched with characteristics of grammar environment of a term in a professional context.
