  • The Ocean Senses Activity Book (Persian version)
    No. 2 (2024)

    This booklet consists of 17 interdisciplinary lesson plans and ideas that inspire to learn about the ocean and connect to it via their senses. Teachers from kindergarten to high school- are the primary audience, but this is not only for teachers. We hope people of all ages can be inspired. Parents can try some of the ideas out with their children at home. Some ideas could be tried out in older adults’ homes or local youth groups. For example, some of the lessons can be used by older pupils as guides for younger pupils at school or science fairs. All the lesson plans were developed within a research project called Advancing Knowledge about Methane in the Arctic (AKMA Project number 287869). The AKMA project was funded by Norwegian Research Council and led by the UiT - The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø in collaboration with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in the USA.

  • Ikke bare-bare – en liten bok om å oversette til russisk
    No. 1 (2016)

    Oversettelse har alltid stått sentralt i undervisningen i russisk ved norske universiteter og høyskoler, men det har aldri eksistert noen skreddersydd norsk lærebok for denne undervisningen. Boken du holder i hånden, er ment å fylle dette tomrommet.

    Ikke bare-bare – en liten bok om å oversette til russisk er en praktisk anlagt lærebok for deg som har studert russisk i ett til to semestre, og som ønsker å bli flink til å oversette. Boken gir deg økt bevissthet omkring oversettelsesprosessen og går gjennom de viktigste språklige mønstrene du må mestre når du oversetter. Språket er lettfattelig, og alle grammatiske termer blir grundig forklart. Boken formulerer åttiseks praktiske regler som oppsummeres i et kapittel til slutt. På et nettsted som ledsager boken, finner du ekstra informasjon og mange nyttige oppgaver.

    Tore Nesset (f. 1966) og Anastasia Makarova (f. 1985) er medlemmer av forskningsgruppen CLEAR (Cognitive Linguistics: Empirical Approaches to Russian) ved UiT Norges Arktiske Universitet og har omfattende undervisningserfaring i russisk som fremmedspråk. De har sammen og hver for seg utgitt en rekke vitenskapelige arbeider om russisk språk, og Tore Nesset har publisert lærebøkene Russiskstudentens beste venn (Novus 2010/2014) og How Russian Came to Be the Way It Is (Slavica Publishers 2015).
