Abstract

Reading has various benefits in everyday life, especially for teenagers. This study aims to explore the impact of reading novels on adolescents' literacy, creativity, critical thinking and mental health. Through the analysis of data obtained from 12 respondents aged 19-20 years old, results show that 100% of respondents agreed that reading novels can improve their literacy and creativity. The knowledge gained from reading helps teens develop creative thinking and critical thinking skills. The survey results also indicated that 100% of respondents found reading novels helpful in coping with emotions and stress, with genres as diverse as romance, fiction, history and politics. In addition, this study confirms the importance of emotional intelligence in helping adolescents recognize and manage their feelings. This finding is in line with previous research showing that reading interest is positively related to critical thinking and critical reading skills. Overall, the results of this study suggest that reading novels not only improves cognitive skills but also provides significant emotional support for adolescents in facing the challenges of daily life.

Abstract

This study explores the role of the mother tongue in English language classrooms by examining the experiences of Kurdish learners and the perspectives of their teachers at Gasha Educational Community. It investigates why students use Kurdish during English lessons and how this practice affects learning outcomes. A qualitative design was employed using semi-structured interviews with 16 students (Grades 4–7) and three English teachers. Findings indicate that Kurdish aids comprehension, reduces anxiety, and reinforces cultural identity, yet over-reliance may limit English proficiency. Both learners and teachers emphasised the importance of a balanced approach, where Kurdish scaffolds learning while English remains the primary instructional language. The study highlights the value of culturally responsive pedagogies that recognise learners’ linguistic backgrounds and enhance effectiveness in EFL classrooms.
