Transference of Knowledge in Interlinguistic Communication: A Teaching and Learning Experience in Classroom Situations
Ekaterini Nikolarea
In this study, the writer, through her own twenty-four (24) years of teaching experience at a non-English University, discusses how challenging the transference of knowledge in interlinguistic communication is, that is, when non-English students, researchers, academics want to transfer knowledge from their local knowledge-based environment to a wider knowledge-based environment that uses English as a means of international communication (lingua franca). During her discussion, the author of this study shows that in order for the transference of knowledge in interlinguistic communication to be successful there must be three support systems: (1) a Human Intelligence (nous) who functions as a helper and/or mediator; (2) Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various forms; and (3) a mnemonic knowledge management tool (TDB) in an electronic form so that human knowledge acquired is not lost.
