个人简介
Abdulkarim S. Mhandeni is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Language Practice at the University of the Free State [UFS] and a lecturer in the Department of Language Studies at the Sokoine University of Agriculture [SUA]. He holds an MA [Linguistics], 2013, and a BA [Education], specialising in English and Literature 2007, from the University of Dar es Salaam. Mhandeni is an Association for Translation Studies in Africa (ATSA) member. His research interests include Second Language teaching and Learning; Multimodal teaching; Translation and Development; Intersemiotic translation, Multimodal communication; Indigenous knowledge; Ecosemiotics; Environmental conservation; Critical thinking, and Language and gender.
His dissertation, conducted under the guidance of Prof. Kobus Marais [UFS] and Prof. Elisabetta Adami [University of Leeds, UK], is titled “Facilitating the knowledge economy through intersemiotic translation: Towards sustainable development in Climate-Smart Agriculture.” The study focuses on multimodal communication in the distribution of agricultural scientific knowledge in African contexts. The research acts as a bridge between nature and the humanities. Therefore this research is relevant to various fields of study, such as agriculture, environmental sciences, development studies, translation studies, and communication studies. Additionally, a Multimodal Social Semiotic Approach [MSSA] employed in the Ph.D. research above dovetails nicely with his teaching career, particularly in multimodal teaching. MSSA is multifaceted—it views communication as a multimodal phenomenon. The approach accommodates various modes of communication ranging from verbal (linguistic) to nonverbal (non-linguistic) communication, for example, posture, colour, images, speech, writing, and gaze.
