Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the power of social media on facilitating collaborative learning across various educational environments. PRISMA strategy was adopted to conduct this review. Data were collected by searching Google Scholar, Scopus and ERIC database. By applying inclusion and exclusion criteria 28 articles were selected. Based on the thorough analysis of data from 28 studies, this study seeks to understand how platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and others affect peer interaction, knowledge sharing, and learner engagement. This paper looks at the benefits and drawbacks of using social media for collaborative learning. It highlights how social media can foster informal learning environments while also acknowledging the potential for diversions and off-topic conversations. The main conclusions indicated that organised activities, direct involvement of instructors, and careful selection of platforms are essential for optimising the educational benefits of social media. To maximize social media's effectiveness in promoting collaborative learning, guidelines are provided to educators. This analysis suggests that social media can be used strategically to enhance learning and prepare kids for a future in which they will be connected to the internet.

Abstract

This study examines how comic reading enhances mental health and English language skills by exploring its role in stress reduction, emotional well-being, and language acquisition. It focuses on the dual benefits comics offer as therapeutic tools for emotional processing and as effective resources for improving vocabulary, comprehension, and cultural understanding in English learners. Method. A mixed-method approach was adopted, combining survey responses from 100 participants and semi-structured interviews with 15 individuals. Quantitative data were analysed to identify trends in mental health and language improvements, while qualitative data provided deeper insights into personal experiences with comic reading. Results and Discussion. The findings revealed that 75% of participants experienced stress relief from comic reading, with 50% noting improved mood. Emotional connections to characters fostered empathy and self-reflection, aiding in resilience. In language learning, 70% of English learners reported better vocabulary retention and comprehension, highlighting the role of visual cues and narrative context in supporting language acquisition. Challenges such as time constraints and limited research on specific genres were identified, but comics consistently proved to be engaging tools for personal and linguistic growth. Conclusion. Comics are valuable resources for enhancing emotional well-being and language proficiency. Their integration into mental health programs and educational curricula can foster resilience and cultural understanding while providing an enjoyable learning experience. This study underscores the potential of comics as a versatile medium that bridges the gap between entertainment, education, and emotional health.

Abstract

In the era of globalization and rapid international trade, business correspondence has emerged as a crucial tool for effective cross-cultural communication and professional success. This study aims to examine the role of English business correspondence in international business management, focusing on its linguistic features, communication strategies, and the challenges faced by non-native speakers. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method supported by content analysis of real-life business letters, emails, and memos collected from multinational companies. In addition, interviews with professionals and language instructors were conducted to identify the key skills required for writing effective business correspondence. The analysis reveals that clarity, conciseness, and formal tone are vital elements that define successful business writing. Moreover, intercultural awareness and pragmatic competence significantly impact the tone and appropriateness of communication in diverse business environments. Findings also indicate that learners of English for Business Purposes (EBP) often struggle with vocabulary selection, cultural politeness norms, and organizational structure in written messages. The study concludes that mastering English business correspondence requires a combination of language proficiency, cultural sensitivity, and real-world practice. It recommends incorporating authentic business writing samples into teaching materials, developing learner awareness of formal language structures, and providing consistent feedback. These findings are particularly useful for English educators, corporate trainers, and international business professionals aiming to enhance communication competence.
