Abstract

Interest in individuals’ religious beliefs has a long tradition in philosophy, sociology and psychology and attempts are made to understand the spiritual and physical in humans. This quantitative study investigates the religiosity of young people, primary and secondary school students, in Bosnia and Herzegovina (henceforth BH) and their practical manifestation of religious activities. The results indicate that the Bosnian primary and high school students are not largely religious and their religiosity is not largely expressed in their practical performance of religious duties, such as praying, reading a Holy book and visiting a mosque. Moreover, the research points out that young people in BH are quite religious when it comes to external exposure to religion and a little less when it comes to the practical implementation of religious regulations that are mandatory in Islam. Friday prayer for men is a religious obligation that is taken more seriously and performed than other daily prayers that are also obligatory. This research contributes to a clearer insight into the practical religiosity of young people in BiH and helps in understanding the priorities for improving and increasing the religiosity of young people. Also, this work can serve as a basis for other more comprehensive research in this field.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of exposure to English language (EL)-based games on Bosnian elementary school students' knowledge and understanding of gaming abbreviations. The research indicates that playing games in English generally enhances students' familiarity with gaming abbreviations, particularly in their original English forms. However, students exhibit less consistency in translating and comprehending these terms in Bosnian, suggesting potential areas for additional educational support. Gender dynamics are also explored, revealing that while both boys and girls engage extensively with EL-based games, boys show a slight advantage in recognizing and understanding gaming abbreviations. These findings underscore the effectiveness of EL-based games in certain aspects of language learning while highlighting the need for further research and targeted educational interventions. The study advocates for a balanced approach to evaluating language learning through gaming, considering both the original English forms and their Bosnian translations to better support students' language proficiency in diverse contexts.
