In an era characterized by global migration and multicultural interactions, this study delves into the linguistic dimensions of cultural identity among Bangladeshi international students in China. The study employs a 20-question survey to examine the role of code-switching, bilingualism, and linguistic choices in identity formation and expression. The dataset includes 65 students from 34 disciplines. One of the major conclusions is that people are ambivalent, particularly about the sense of cultural identity mediated through multilingualism, although there was a strong correlation between cultural expression and use of the mother tongue. The huge proportion of these participants admitted the use of certain linguistic features in different sociolinguistic situations, nevertheless, the importance of English and Mandarin used in the educational contexts emphasized the global and local linguistic dynamics. In order to overcome the drawbacks of this study, future studies must aim to explore the longitudinal impact of settling down in unfamiliar language territories on people’s cultural orientation. Furthermore, this study recommends to take note of the growing need for engaging in acceptable linguistic behavior for the protection and promotion of cultural identity and appreciation among different societies.

In an era where educational reforms serve as both a beacon of hope and a source of contention, the New Education Policy (NEP) of Bangladesh emerges as a critical site for exploring the dynamic interplay between policy ideals and classroom realities. Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior, it seeks to examine teachers interpretations and responses to policy reforms, their challenges and opportunities, and the impact of the NEP on education quality. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining a survey of 48 teachers from seven distinct schools, with nine providing in-depth interviews. The findings reveal significant discrepancies in teachers understanding of the policys objectives, with a notable portion expressing dissatisfaction with its clarity and alignment with student needs. While some educators acknowledge a shift towards student-centered learning, others highlight the obstacles posed by insufficient resources, professional development, and curriculum adjustments. However, to address the limitations of this study, future studies can expand the scope to include different regions and explore the long-term effects of NEP on student outcomes. Furthermore, educators and policymakers must collaborate to ensure that ongoing professional development and resource allocation are prioritized to facilitate successful educational reform.

Bangla, once the rallying cry of a nation’s liberation, now faces a quiet contest with English in the arenas of media, digital culture, and economic ambition. This paper investigates how linguistic nationalism is being reinvented under the pressures of global capitalism in present-day Bangladesh through a quantitative survey of 60 respondents. Statistical findings present an interesting duality: although Bangla is the first choice for traditional media, signage, and cultural heritage, English is being adopted as an inevitable gateway to international connectivity and economic opportunity. This tension demonstrates a population that is not letting go of its linguistic heritage but is strategically coping with a globalized world. The informants are concerned about the diminishing space for Bangla in digital entertainment and youth communication, but the majority is hopeful about the language’s survival. Although the study’s limited sample size and quantitative focus restrict generalizability, its findings shed light on a critical moment of linguistic transformation. It calls for forward-thinking language policies and digital innovation to ensure that Bangla remains not only remembered, but actively lived in a multilingual future.

The alignment between OBE curricula and EFL learning outcomes plays a crucial role in shaping students’ language proficiency and academic success. This study aims at exploring the effectiveness of OBE in EFL context at KU and NUBTK through a comparative analysis of 80 undergraduate students’ perceptions. And their perceptions were collected through a survey questionnaire. The results suggest that KU students perceived clearer learning outcomes, better English proficiency, and a more structured integration of course materials. The effectiveness of feedback mechanisms, critical thinking enhancement, and real-world applications was also perceived to be higher at KU. In contrast, NUBTK students exhibited more varied responses, with a higher proportion of neutral perceptions, suggesting inconsistencies in curriculum implementation. Despite these differences, both institutions showed no statistically significant variation in reading and writing skill development, indicating comparable effectiveness in these areas. However, KU students perceived significantly stronger improvements in speaking confidence and analytical skills, reinforcing the notion that well-structured OBE implementation enhances student learning experiences. Nevertheless, to address the limitation of this study, future works should explore faculty perspectives, conduct longitudinal studies, and include qualitative methods. Moreover, institutions should refine their OBE frameworks to ensure that students acquire the linguistic and cognitive skills necessary for academic and professional success.

Teacher identity is not learned rather it is authored not from manuals, nor methods, but through language, experience, and the delicate art of narrating oneself into being. Professional identity development of 15 pre-service EFL instructors is investigated in this paper. The data were collected through semi-structured interview and interpreted based on positioning theory. The findings of this study demonstrate that participants positioned themselves reflexively as empathetic change agents motivated by social injustices and personal struggles. They resisted traditional grammar-based roles, adopting communicative, student-centered pedagogy. Identity was fluid, developed through classroom practice, mentoring, and social determinants such as class and gender. Strategic language use became salient in self-presentation. Several aspired to future roles as reformers or tech-integrated educators, but some were doubtful because of systemic constraints. Such doubtful responders vacillate between conformity and resistance, exercising agency in reflexive resistance to interactive positioning by peers, managers, and symbolic power of English in Bangladesh. Rather than a linear trajectory, identity is envisioned here as a dynamic dance of self within discourse—contradictory, shifting, and morally invested. Ultimately, this research affirms identity not as a credentialing product in the EFL settings in Bangladesh, but as an ongoing tale being told throughout one’s life in tension with other individuals, contexts, and possibility.

In a world inundated with diverse media narratives, the Russia-Ukraine conflict emerges as a focal point of contention, revealing a complex interplay of linguistic strategies and discursive tactics. This study aims to unravel the intricacies of lexical choices, and discursive techniques employed by Sputnik, BBC, and Fox News in their coverage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict through corpus-assisted discourse studies techniques. Three corpora were created comprising 5,347 articles with 5,829,747 tokens, sampled from February 2022 to February 2023. Moreover, Sputnik’s diction strategically employs the phrase “military operation” while eschewing “war”, portraying the conflict as a defensive, legitimate endeavour, thus reinforcing a Russian geopolitical narrative that recasts Ukraine not as a victim but as an active participant with extremist factions. BBC, in contrast, adopts a pro-Western stance, framing Ukraine as a victim and Russia as an aggressor. Fox News calls Russia’s action as an invasion, and highlights the individual roles of political leaders in shaping the conflict. However, to address the limitations of this study, future studies can expand the scope, sources, languages, and genres for analysis. Furthermore, media consumers need to practice media literacy, cross-checking, and critical analysis in the era of overloaded information in order to form well-rounded opinions on complex geopolitical events.
