Abstract

Background. Augmented reality (AR) is increasingly being integrated into education, enhancing learning experiences through interactive and immersive environments. In language learning, AR holds promise for increasing engagement and cultural immersion. Purpose. To investigate the impact of AR on English language learning, comparing engagement and cultural immersion in formal and informal contexts. Method. Mixed-methods approach involving middle school, high school, and university students. Participants were divided into experimental (AR) and control (traditional methods) groups. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, surveys, and interviews to measure language proficiency, engagement, and cultural awareness. Results. Significant improvements were observed in both learning contexts. In formal settings, there was a 17% increase in test scores, while informal settings saw a 13% increase. Formal learners exhibited higher engagement and cultural awareness, with 80% reporting high engagement compared to 70% in informal settings. Formal learners frequently utilized interactive features, enhancing their learning experience, whereas informal learners showed a preference for independent study tools offered by AR applications. Conclusion. AR significantly enhances English language learning, particularly within formal educational environments. The study highlights AR's potential to boost student engagement and cultural understanding, suggesting that tailored approaches are necessary to optimize its use across different learning contexts. The findings indicate that while both formal and informal settings benefit from AR, the structured environment of formal education leverages the technology's interactive features more effectively, leading to greater student engagement and improved learning outcomes. These insights are valuable for educators and developers aiming to integrate AR in language learning, emphasizing the need for context-specific strategies to maximize its educational benefits.

Abstract

Language curricula often fail to address the diverse cultural backgrounds of learners, which can impact engagement and the effectiveness of language acquisition. In multicultural learning environments, culturally responsive curricula are essential to creating inclusive education that respects and integrates learners’ unique cultural experiences. This research aims to explore the design and implementation of culturally responsive language curricula that enhance learner engagement and improve language proficiency by aligning educational content with students’ cultural contexts. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving case studies of five educational institutions with diverse student populations. Data were collected through interviews with educators, curriculum developers, and students, as well as through analysis of existing curricula. The study examined how culturally relevant content and teaching methods were incorporated into language courses and evaluated their impact on student motivation, participation, and proficiency. The analysis also identified key strategies for designing culturally responsive curricula. The results indicated that integrating learners’ cultural backgrounds into the curriculum significantly improved engagement and language proficiency. Educators reported higher levels of student participation and motivation when the content reflected learners’ cultural identities and real-life experiences. Additionally, students showed greater retention of language skills when cultural relevance was emphasized in the learning process.

Abstract

This study investigates the critical role of cross-cultural perspectives in understanding intimacy and communication within marriage. As societies become increasingly diverse, traditional marriage counseling approaches often overlook the unique needs and experiences of couples from varied cultural backgrounds. This article aims to explore how cultural values, norms, and communication styles shape the experiences of intimacy and influence relationship dynamics among married individuals. The research highlights that intimacy is not merely a personal experience but is heavily influenced by cultural context, which dictates how affection, emotional support, and conflict resolution are perceived and expressed. By analyzing various counseling models, including those that are culturally informed, this study emphasizes the need for adaptability in therapeutic practices. It also discusses the potential barriers that culturally diverse couples face in counseling settings, such as misinterpretation of behaviors and expectations rooted in differing cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, the article provides practical recommendations for marriage counselors to create more inclusive and effective interventions. This includes the necessity of integrating cultural competence training into counselor education programs and developing tailored counseling strategies that acknowledge and respect cultural differences. By doing so, counselors can better support couples in navigating their unique challenges and enhancing their relational satisfaction. Ultimately, this study advocates for a shift in marriage counseling paradigms to embrace a more holistic and culturally sensitive approach, thereby improving outcomes for couples from diverse backgrounds.

Abstract

Background: The digital era has transformed the landscape of business disputes, leading to a rise in conflicts arising from online transactions, e-commerce, and digital platforms. Traditional dispute resolution methods often struggle to address the unique challenges posed by these digital disputes, prompting a growing interest in alternative methods such as mediation. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mediation in resolving business disputes within the digital environment. Specifically, it investigates how mediation compares to other traditional dispute resolution methods and its impact on time efficiency, cost, and overall satisfaction for businesses involved in digital disputes. Method: A mixed-method approach was used, combining quantitative surveys from businesses that have engaged in digital mediation with qualitative interviews of legal experts and mediators. The data were analyzed to assess key factors such as cost, time savings, and satisfaction in resolving disputes. Results: The findings indicate that mediation is significantly more cost-effective and time-efficient compared to litigation. Most participants expressed high satisfaction with the mediation process, noting its flexibility and ability to preserve business relationships. Conclusion: Mediation proves to be an effective method for resolving business disputes in the digital era, offering benefits in terms of cost, time, and relationship management. Businesses are encouraged to adopt mediation as a primary dispute resolution strategy.
