Cet article se penche sur l’analyse de la traduction de l’ Elāhi-nāme du poète mystique Attār Neys͂ābūri par Fuad Rouhani, sous le titre de: Le livre divin. Nous nous proposons de voir si cette traduction remplit son rôle de «vecteur culturel» et de point d’échange «entre l’autre-soi et le soi-soi», d’autant plus que le traducteur est un érudit littéraire iranien, qui traduit de sa propre langue vers une langue secondaire. Il s’agit également de voir le degré de succès dans la transposition du contenu didactique de l’ouvrage source. Cette traduction est étudiée dans une perspective bermanienne au regard de la traductologie moderne, secondée d’une analyse de la traduction au regard des procédés de la traduction technique - emprunt lexical, calque, traduction littérale, transposition, chassé-croisé, étoffement, modulation, équivalence et adaptation. La démarche du traducteur quant à la dimension poétique du texte est ensuite analysée.

Nowadays, English has become an international language and is used for communication and interaction among different countries and cultures across the world. So, the ability to communicate in a comprehensive way is one of the major goals of any second language educational setting. The aims of the present research were to investigate the relationship between Iranian EFL learners’ social intelligence (SI) and their willingness to communicate (WTC) across gender, as well as to find out any possible difference between male and female learners in SI and their WTC relationship. To this end, 240 male and female EFL learners from different institutions were selected as the participants of the study with different age ranges based on convenient sampling. Then two standardized questionnaires, i.e., SI and WTC, were administered for all participants to answer. After collecting the required data and its analysis, the findings revealed a positive and significant correlation between male and female SI and their WTC. In addition, further statistical analysis using formula showed no difference between learners’ SI and WTC relationship across gender. The findings of the present research could be applicable for EFL learners, teachers, and material developers. Keywords:

Vocabulary plays a pivotal role in second language learning and development. Concordance-based methods are considered as new techniques for improving teaching materials and motivating learners to improve their language ability with authentic texts. To this end, the present study aims to enhance the effect of Innovative Concordancing Instruction (ICI) on vocabulary knowledge by integrating principled instructional approaches. The participants included 90 university students at undergraduate level in Islamic Azad University in Tehran, Iran. First, after giving a proficiency test, the students were divided into innovative concordancing, traditional concordancing and control group. The participants in both experimental groups were given eight-week vocabulary instruction, while no special vocabulary instruction was considered for the sample in the control group. Based on the results, ICI had both better immediate and delayed instructional effects on increasing receptive and productive knowledge although the students in instructional groups improved in terms of receptive and productive knowledge. The present study could present some implications for teaching vocabulary when designing vocabulary curricula and developing materials for EFL learners and teachers.
