“…The study resulted that participants used Arabic in learning English for various reasons and that it helps them in their learning. Literature highlighted the use of local, foreign and second languages in cross-linguistic variations and mutual effectiveness (e.g Bunyi, 2005;Ogechi, 2003;and Tang, 2002). Therefore, Beja as a mother language spoken by some Egyptian students and teachers in Red Sea area adds to multilingualism in Egypt.…”

The research aimed to identify syntactic and semantic translation techniques followed by both bilingual and trilingual English Language teachers in Halayeb and Shalateen schools. It also aimed to identify their knowledge of the Cognitive Retroactive Transfer CRT-oriented translation strategies followed by their students. The research utilized two instruments: the first is the translation techniques questionnaire that aimed to identify the bilingual and trilingual teachers' translation techniques that they follow in their classes. The second is the CRT-oriented translation strategies questionnaire which identifies teachers' knowledge of CRToriented translation strategies followed by their students in Halayeb and Shalateen schools. The research followed the descriptive and the one-group quasi experimental designs. Participants (N.22) were both bilingual and trilingual English language teachers, Red Sea educational directorate. Results showed that there were no significant means differences between the participants in the translation techniques that they follow in the total scores dimension (sig .428) while there were significant means differences between them in the syntactic techniques dimension (.740) favoring the trilingual participants. Results also showed that there were no significant mean differences in participants' knowledge of CRT-oriented translation strategies followed by their students in the total score (.291) while there were significant means differences between them in the vocabulary dimension (.947). The research recommended integrating CRT-oriented translation techniques in both pre and in-service EFL teacher education programs. It also recommended running professional development programs for trilingual EFL teachers in Egypt focusing on both the translation techniques and strategies.

As the sector of commercialization is expanding, within Tanzania and globally, finding wider markets has become a great challenge. The authors opine that businesses will be enhanced by using local languages. The study maintains that language links with the culture that has a great influence on global marketing such as product design, branding, and distribution process. The study collected data through surveys, interviews, and observation in three regions, namely Iringa, Dodoma, and Dar es Salaam. The results were later analyzed qualitatively using descriptions and tables. Results revealed that out of 60 respondents that took part, 23% of the customers are from the western countries, 20% are from East Africa, 16% from other African countries, and 51% are within Tanzania. The majority, 80%, stated that even though they market their products outside Tanzania, the only languages used are English and Kiswahili. It is anticipated that companies that use indigenous languages will bring their customers individualistically or collectively much closer, widening the products' markets in Tanzania.
