“…For example, some researchers (Bignoux & Sund, 2018; Dervić & Bećirović, 2020; Gherhes et al, 2021; Hasan & Bao, 2020; Miller, 2020; Muthuprasad et al, 2021) in their studies revealed that this type of communication allowed learners to grasp the information profoundly, allowing them to make a stronger bond with their classmates and peers. However, others argue (Cigdem, 2015; Cigdem & Ozturk, 2016; Cohen & Nycz, 2006; Demiray, 2011; Oye et al, 2012; Ribo & Dubravac, 2021) that the in‐person way of teaching requires less input from students as it is more “teacher‐centered” with a lack of deeper student involvement as instructions and guidelines are primarily set by tutors. In other words, a lecturer in this learning context provides a certain set of prepared information that has been filtered and ready to be communicated with students whose main challenge is to be present physically and mentally.…”

Since the COVID‐19 pandemic prompted numerous global changes, educational institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina were forced to adapt their educational approaches, with schools and universities implementing alternative teaching and learning practices. Thus, this study aimed to investigate students' perspectives on the digital transformation of higher education in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including their preferences for hybrid, online, or face‐to‐face teaching models, their internet habits and readiness for e‐learning, their attitudes and satisfaction with online learning, and their computer anxiety. The research sample consisted of 330 students studying in a variety of fields and academic years at both public and private universities. The data was gathered via an online questionnaire. A multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed a significant effect of students' field of study, year of study, and university status on their preferences for hybrid, online, and face‐to‐face classes. However, the MANOVA test revealed that the aforementioned factors have an insignificant effect on students' internet habits and readiness for e‐learning, attitudes and satisfaction with online learning, and computer anxiety, all of which have an insignificant impact on student's academic achievement as determined by standard multiple regression analyses. Additionally, multivariate analysis revealed that students' preferences for hybrid, online, and face‐to‐face classes have a significant influence on their internet habits and readiness for e‐learning, attitudes, and satisfaction with online learning, and computer anxiety. The findings of this study may aid in a better understanding of tertiary education's digital transformation and the improvement of educational policy, curricula, and instructional and learning strategies.

“…In the political discourse, mostly borrowed words from English are internationalism (Ajšić, 2014). Additionally, borrowing has been researched in business (Ribo & Dubravac, 2021) and advertising (Dubravac & Milak, 2016). The usage of anglicisms in Bosnia in the education were observed on students: , Kovačević et al (2018) and Brdarević-Čeljo & Asotić (2017.…”

Anglicisms, words borrowed from the English language, which do not have to be of English origin, are observed in the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, attitudes towards the English language by a certain group of native Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian speakers were observed. The research includes insights into the adaptation of anglicisms as an important point in borrowing into an inflective language. The research observes the attitudes towards the usage of anglicisms in the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language and each of them separately. Additionally, attitudes towards the English language, familiarity with anglicisms and proper use of the observed anglicisms has been included in the research. The familiarity with anglicisms is observed through the understanding of the meaning and their proper usage. The participants are random native speakers of the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language who belong to the Internet Technology (IT) field profession and are based in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results show that both the attitude towards anglicisms and the English language are vastly positive, although a total of 44% of the observed anglicisms are translated. The positive attitude towards anglicisms implies their frequent use, mainly adapted to the different systems of the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language. The usage is reflected in the two possibilities: English words used in their original form or adapted on different levels. In addition, as the need for it appeared along, the adaptation was also observed. The original or an adapted form and how far the adaptation goes in the system of Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language (phonology and morphology) The research also displays the advisability and growing need for anglicisms in this field and confirms the significance of those words in the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language. The findings imply that there is probably another parameter or parameter (variable(s) influencing the attitude, which could easily be the trend and the global reputation of the English language.

“…Even though the presence of English has been explored so far (Dubravac, 2016;Dubravac, Berdarević-Čeljo & Bećirović, 2018;Brdarević-Čeljo & Dubravac, 2022;Dubravac, 2022) and its influence on B/C/S has been analysed (Dubravac & Skopljak, 2020;Skopljak & Dubravac, 2019) its presence in business register has been investigated in few inquiries (Dedović-Atilla & Dubravac; 2022; Ribo & Dubravac, 2021). Therefore, this study will further our understanding of the relationship between English and B/C/S but with the focus on the translation of passive structures in academic articles related to economics.…”

Translation of the Passive Voice from English into B/C/S

The passive voice is generally overused in English, hence the need to investigate how it translates to other languages, B/C/S in particular. It is also widely used in academic and business English in order to make the text diplomatic and objective, as it is preferable for business. The aim of this paper is to determine whether passive in business English texts remains intact after translation to B/C/S, and whether it plays a more central role in English or in B/C/S. After gathering data from 30 different academic articles related to economics, 63 passive structures were selected and analyzed. Subsequently, a comparison was made between them and their B/C/S counterparts in order to determine how many were translated literally to B/C/S, how many preserved the voice but changed the form, and how many samples changed both voice and form. It was discovered that 17 samples were translated literally to B/C/S, 25 retained their voice but changed the form, and 21 samples retained neither voice nor form. Based on the results obtained we have come to an expected conclusion that passive is not as present in B/C/S as it is in academic and business English, thereby it plays a more central role in English than it does in B/C/S. Interestingly, there were two examples where voice transformation was reversed, the B/C/S passives became English actives. We find such occurrences unusual, as the passive voice is typically more common in English than in B/C/S.
