In this article, we have compared the translation of Chapters 1, 10 and 12 of three essays from the first book of a French Renaissance philosopher Michel de Montaigne's "Les Essays" that were translated from French language more than 30 years ago, in 1990, by Toitogiin Tumurkhuleg, a famous translator and diplomat, with the original version. When translating the content and plot of the original text into Mongolian, the translator Tumurkhuleg T. had taken into account the deep root meaning of the words, in addition to rationalization, in some cases, he had commonly used idioms with added and more powered meaning. Within the framework of this study, a selection of idioms in the translated version has been analyzed, and the meaning of those idioms has been compared to the context of the work and the words in the original text, and the translator's method and the characteristics and features of the translation have been determined. The translator Tumurkhuleg T., who had translated the original work written in the 16th century aligned to the living and relations of the western people, had brought the work to the minds of the Mongolian people of the 1990s through the reflection of the national mentality and cultural uniqueness by the use of idioms. The fact that the translator had been able to fully reflect the norms of the Mongolian language in the translation, on the other hand, it had also helped to reflect the characteristics of the literary translation.

In the present study, we aimed to assess the critical thinking skills of the learners using the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Test and to investigate whether these skills are needed to be improved and the method of planning and organizing the lesson is beneficial for developing the skills. In our study, a total number of 95 bachelor students from I-V levels, who chose to study the subject as a core and an elective class, participated. Our findings indicate that the students’ critical thinking skills are not sufficient and a further study on identifying the influencing factors, choosing, experimenting, and practicing effective strategies for enhancing the critical thinking levels needs to be conducted.

Our study investigates the English phoneme /f/production among two cohorts comprising 41 intermediate-level Mongolian students. We focus on formants 1 and 2 of the /f/ phoneme, specifically examining intermediate students at the School of Arts and Sciences of the National University of Mongolia (NUM). We apply Bulgantamir S.'s theoretical framework for formant classification. The selection of words featuring the "f" phoneme is based on their contextual positions within the research parameters. Utilizing the spectrogram PRAAT method, our experimental phonetics research explores/f/ phoneme production among Mongolian students. Through this analysis, we aim to contribute valuable insights into the articulatory patterns of intermediate-level students in a non-native English phonetic context.

The article discusses the latest trends in narrative studies. Due to the impact of the Cold War, there was a strong tendency to emphasize narratives with ideological content and ignore narratives expressing personal opinions. However, since the 1980s in America, the opportunity for individuals to express their opinions and positions has become relatively free. This article tries to reflect that this situation had an important impact on the development of narrative studies. Furthermore, it is intended to outline the results of researchers' research that the narrative expressed by people through words and sentences is a mental reflection of that person.

From the 1920s, the monologue attracted the attention of researchers, and in the 1930s, Chicago's ``Life Story'' became the basis for research. Also, "In the 1960s, based on the French concept of structuralism, the role of narrative in cultural phenomena became very interested," Develop as a study」, gradually, it became an independent field of study such as narrative science.

In this study, we analyzed the process and results of alternative assessment practices, which represent a growing trend in foreign language education evaluation. We aimed to examine the associated issues. The new assessment method was implemented in two undergraduate lectures and one seminar spanning three semesters from 2021 to 2023. The students utilized rubrics to assess each other's assignments, including presentations, with their scores contributing to the overall evaluation. Upon comparing the students' evaluations with those of the teachers, we observed no significant differences in the majority of categories. This finding prompts further exploration to validate the efficacy of this assessment format in classes.

Furthermore, an increase in students' levels of class participation and autonomy was noted, proving advantageous for cultivating learner-centered classes. Moving forward, we aspire to enhance assessment categories and fully integrate them into our classes, anticipating a positive impact on the learning process and outcomes.

Learning to write an essay is important not only for students to acquire the basic knowledge of doing research and analysis, but also for extending their critical thinking skills and expressing their thoughts comprehensively. However, it is more pivotal to learn what type of essay to write or what essay to include in the course content. Therefore, the author claims that four types of essays must be included in the curriculum of secondary schools and universities in this article. The electronic dictionary of world literary terms notes that there are 19 types of essays. Of these, it is appropriate to teach a Book report, Critical essay, Personal statement, and Narrative essay in high school and Argumentative essay in university. In particular, Argumentative essays should be the main task for social and humanities courses students in the university. Choosing the topic improperly is one of the main reasons why our students are unable to write good essays. Therefore, the students can be offered the topics that are open on the internet source.

Every nation has its own national mentality. Studying the unique features of the national mentality will help to better understand the culture and life of the nation. Unique idioms are the most obvious example of a language unit that carries the unique culture of a nation because it exists only in the language of that nation. Throughout history, humans have always been close to animals, and animals have an inseparable influence on human existence and development.

Therefore, there are many animal names or expressions related to animals in people's language and idioms. In the case of Mongolia and China, because the lifestyles of their people are different, the expressions containing the names of livestock in the two languages have different meanings. Therefore, interesting conclusions have been reached by comparing the national mentality contained in the idioms containing the names of livestock in Mongolian and Chinese languages.

This paper, following Thomas S. Kuhn’s definition of paradigms and the ways in which sciences evolve, aims to bring to light some pressing topics, like patterns behind the evolution of linguistics, its paradigm shifts, its present situation, and its positioning amongst other sciences.

To inspect the linguistics evolution, it is simply broken down into three main paradigms by chronological order of endorsement: Comparative-Historical Linguistics, Structural linguistics and lastly the current paradigm the Anthropological paradigm.

If the former two paradigms cover linguistics evolution up until the present, the current paradigm, the Anthropological paradigm helps ascertain upcoming issues.

Cognitive neuroscience’s paradigms emphasize the cognitive function of languages, and as it answers the question of how we humans become who we are, this paper expresses on how it is imperative to the development of human nature within individuals and society as a whole.
