Cohomology and extensions of representations of groups with normal Engel subgroups by Kissin, Edward, Shulman, Victor

“…Aiming at applications to double extensions and the theory of J-unitary group representations on indefinite metric spaces, we describe (λ, U)-cocycles when G = D n N is the semidirect product, D is an Engel group and the restrictions of λ, U to N are χ1 for some character χ on N (such pairs of representations form in a sense a base class in the variety of all pairs of representations). …”

Using translanguaging and English as a Lingua Franca to promote an inclusive multilingual approach towards comprehension in assessment in Higher Educational Institutions in the UK by Meletiadou, Eleni

“…The current study employed a mixed-methods approach using classroom observations, focus group discussions, students’ pre- and post-tests and anonymous learning journals to explore the impact of translanguaging and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) on students’ writing performance when a multilingual approach towards comprehension in assessment is used with learners in higher education in the UK Findings indicated that students overall had a very positive attitude towards translanguaging and ELF in terms of a multilingual approach towards comprehension in assessment as they facilitated content and language learning and enhanced students’ intercultural and multilingual awareness Moreover, they had a significant impact on students’ academic performance Finally, the article argues that monolingual ideologies should be abandoned due to the increasing drive towards globalization in Higher Education…”
