saxelmwifo enis swavlebis sakiTxebi: problemebi da gamowvevebi Issues of State Language Teaching; Problems and Challenges The second test was distributed among 20 students of intermediate level. The test was compiled in Georgian language and contained 8 items of FFs belonging to segregation subgroup of Georgian-English FFs. The task of the test was to provide appropriate English equivalent for Georgian words in bold. (fig.2.) Circle most appropriate English equivalent for Georgian words in bold (fig.3) 1.ის საკმაოდ ექსტრავაგანტული ადამიანია. a. eccentric b. extravagant c. odd 2. ყველა მოიხიბლა მისი პათეტიკური გამოსვლით. a. passionate b.

saxelmwifo enis swavlebis sakiTxebi: problemebi da gamowvevebi Issues of State Language Teaching; Problems and Challenges “eccentric” as the appropriate translation for the word; � 35% of students supported right English equivalents for the words ”პათეტიკური”[patetikuri] and “ინტოქსიკაცია”[intoksikatsia] but remaining 65% considered the word “pathetic”, instead of “passionate”, being the proper English equivalent for the word. The word “ინტოქსიკაცია”was wrongly translated as “intoxication” which in Georgian, in difference with English, doesn’t mean “inebriation” but “poisoning”. � 38% of students translated the words “გალანტური”[galanturi] and “პედაგოგი”[pedagogi] in a proper way. All others (62%) provided the word ”gallant” instead of appropriate Georgian equivalent “courteous” for English ”gallant” and the word “pedagogue” for the word ”პედაგოგი”[pedagogi], that in Georgian language, in difference with English language, isn’t used with derogative meaning (pedant, strict teacher) and is respectful way of denoting a person whose occupation is teaching. � More than half (55%) of the students choose the right equivalent for Georgian”რუტინა“ [rutina] but 45% gave the wrong answer considering ”routine” instead of “stagnation” as the proper translation for the word in the given context; � Summarizing the test results we can state that in 160 sentences (as stated above 20 students were requested to translate 8 sentences containing 8 Georgian-English FFs) there were 41 cases (26%) of appropriate translation.(fig.4) Figure 4. wrong answer 74% right answer 26% On the basis of the data, we can give an answer to the initial research questions presented above: Do students have real difficulties with false friends? Are there any possible solutions to these problems? The problem of false friends is evident from the learner data considered. Linguistically speaking, language learners face not only the problem of semantic transfer but problems of usage. Concerning semantic transfer, Georgian students use English terms as translation equivalents for some Georgian items as in “extravagant”, “actual”, “intoxication”, “accurate”, “pathetic”, etc. The influence of the L1 is, therefore, perceived and it could be highly reduced if teachers present false friends by emphasizing meaning differences between the L1 and the L2 to raise students awareness of the semantic properties of these lexical items. Pragmatically speaking, the misuse of these words can easily cause serious communication problems. Especially with the words that have different semantic evaluation and emotive charge. For example as stated above Georgian “პედაგოგი“ [pedagogi] does not correspond to English “pedagogue” as the latter has negative evaluation; English ”pathetic” in contrast to Georgian ”პათეტიკური“[patetikuri] “passionate” has derogative meaning; Georgian „ფამილიარული”,[familiaruli] “ამბიციური”[ambitsiuri] are derogative in contrast to their cognates ”familiar”, ”ambitious”. As semantic divergence between partial FFs is especially vivid in collocation it is advisable to present these pairs in appropriate context in collocations. All stated problems should be mitigated by the teachers’ action in the classroom. The use of audiovisual materials (pictures, videos, cartoons) in the classroom might be useful and could promote students’ reflection on the potential misunderstandings caused by those problematic words in naturally occurring situations. To summarize, this study shows that there is room for teachers’ action concerning false Friends. EFL learners have serious problems when using these lexical items and teachers should deal with this issue so that learners lexical competence expands and potential misunderstandings can be avoided. 378
