AbstractLocalization is a language-intensive activity and translators as well as terminologists are traditional specialists in this linguistic and cultural adaptation. The paramount role of terminology in localization is underlined. It is explained that university is the best place to teach localization, and the knowledge required to localize is described. Two curriculum models in localization are currently found – one of which is criticizable – whereas other curricula could be considered. The requirements for teaching localization at university are described.

This article analyzes how a group of preadolescent girls responded to the novel and film, The Hunger Games (2008; 2012) as explored throughout a series of discussion group sessions. While providing more nuanced interpretations of gender as represented in the novel, the girls were more accepting of normalized heteronormative gender performances in the film adaptation. We argue that these texts simultaneously challenge and reproduce dominant gendered and heteronormative ideas and for the importance of providing all learners with spaces for critical discussion of popular culture texts.
Keywords: The Hunger Games, masculinity, femininity, popular media

What are the reasonable limits of teaching about controversial issues? To answer this question, this article aims to establish a set of law-based principles that may serve as a guide for teaching practice. Drawing on an analysis of relevant Canadian and U.S. jurisprudence and secondary literature, we identified considerations that judges consistently return to when reflecting on the question of the reasonable and responsible exercise of teacher free speech in the classroom. Four principles followed from our analysis: curricular alignment, impartiality, avoidance of foreseeable inflammatory content and age appropriateness.

The establishment of the jury system, which originated in an Anglo-Saxon custom, introduced a procedure that took hold very early on ‒ even before the grant of the Magna Carta ‒ as one of the most basic of English freedoms. This multi-varied and eclectic legal transplant in the colonial context can be viewed both as an object of cultural attachment and as a procedural mechanism. The malleability of the jury system with respect to the cultural diversity of the American colonies enabled it to play an important role in affirming the interests of settlers throughout the 18th century. A tool for resolving disputes in a multi-cultural context, the jury de medietate linguae in particular ‒ assured justice during the Conquest of New France for both the British and new French-speaking subjects. The jury system, although much criticized and often impugned at the time of the introduction of the Quebec Act, can nevertheless be considered as a benefit the Canadian people reaped from the early days of the British colony, much like Habeas Corpus, a procedure which was introduced subsequently.
