Abstract

The study aims to determine the current implementations being used in foreign language education programs and to define how to use culture effectively in language learning environments according to the teachers’ ideas since language and culture are inseparable. Phenomenology was chosen as the design of the study. 17 English lecturers from the School of Foreign Languages of a government university in Türkiye were selected as the study group using purposive sampling. In the data gathering process, a semi-structured interview form was used, and the interview was carried out through face-to-face interviews. The data was analysed using the content analysis method and then coded and categorized under main themes, which were established based on the sub-questions of the study. In this regard, four main themes and 23 codes have been defined in detail with literature references by the researchers. According to the findings of the study, it is understood that there is a continuous interaction between language and culture. Therefore, one cannot be acquired fully without the other, and especially learning a language without its cultural context may lead to miscommunication. Consequently, culture should be integrated into each the language teaching and learning phase by integrating cultural elements into curriculums.

Abstract

This study examines the role of motivation based on the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) among Myanmar high school dropout students who continue learning English. Specifically, it explores the underlying motivational factors and their impact on students' engagement with EFL learning. The study involved nine Myanmar high school dropout students who have attended or are currently attending EFL centers in different cities. Data were collected through online and face-to-face interviews, focusing on students' experiences in learning English. Findings indicated that motivation in EFL learning is driven by inner spark, doors of opportunity, and loss of momentum in formal education, alongside the SDT elements of pursuing a purposeful path, empowerment through growth, connections, and expanding aspirational horizons. The results also suggest that students exhibit a high degree of autonomous motivation in their learning and develop stronger social engagement compared to their previous educational experiences. Additionally, while some students are motivated to pursue further education, others express a strong desire to contribute to their communities. Overall, the study highlights that high school dropout students in Myanmar demonstrate motivation to learn English, both to achieve personal goals and to contribute to their society. These findings underscore the need for socio-cultural, metacognitive, and technology-enhanced teaching approaches tailored to the autonomous learning styles of these students

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are becoming increasingly widespread in EFL classrooms as many applications support students in various aspects of language learning. Consequently, many EFL teachers are adapting to and embracing AI as a practical aid in their teaching. This study investigates Myanmar EFL teachers' perceptions of AI writing tools, their integration into teaching practices, and the challenges encountered in their use. A phenomenological research design was adopted, and qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten Myanmar EFL teachers. The data technique used in this study was thematic analysis. The findings reveal that teachers utilize AI writing tools for student assessment, facilitating the learning process, sourcing writing materials, and planning lessons. While AI writing tools are perceived as beneficial for both students and teachers, concerns remain about their potential negative impact on students' writing skills and overall language development. Additionally, teachers face significant challenges in integrating AI writing tools due to issues such as internet instability, power outages, and limited technological knowledge. This study provides insights into the role of AI writing tools in EFL instruction in Myanmar and elsewhere, highlighting the need for improved technological infrastructure and teacher training to maximize their effectiveness.

Abstract

Politeness is a communication strategy that involves both positive and negative face, aiming to prevent face-threatening acts and help individuals maintain each other’s social image. Communication that takes place in cyberspace has now become common and accepted by various groups of people, regardless of age, background, or social status. Through social media, individuals can not only communicate and exchange information, but also establish connections, interact with old friends, and find new friends from different across the globe. This study aims to identify types of politeness strategies and the most dominant types of politeness strategies used in the @nikizefanya account Twitter (X) platform. The study uses qualitative descriptive method. The findings reveal that there are six positive politeness strategy and two negative politeness strategies used in the @nikizefanya account Twitter (X) platform. The most dominant strategy is the fourth positive politeness strategy (Use in-group identity markers) with the percentage of usage reached 45,5%. This shows the strong tendency of users to build and emphasize group identity in their interactions. Meanwhile, from the category of negative politeness strategies, the first strategy (Be conventionally indirect) dominates with a much higher percentage of 89,4%. These findings show that the users’ comments in NIKIZEFANYA account use language or references that identify them as part of the same group as their audience, creating a sense of closeness and community. This research contributes to understanding how politeness functions as a tool to maintain harmonious communication and avoid conflict in social media context.

Abstract

Hedging plays a central role in academic writing because it enables researchers to present claims with appropriate caution and to situate their arguments in relation to earlier scholarship. This study compares hedging in English-language social science research articles written by native speakers of English and by Turkish scholars writing in English as a foreign language. Adopting a corpus-based contrastive design, the study examines 90 published research articles with WordSmith Tools. The corpus comprises 37,243 words in the Turkish EFL subcorpus and 38,349 words in the native-speaker subcorpus, with texts drawn from economics, education, law, and literature. The analysis considers both the overall frequency of hedges and their distribution across two rhetorically important parts of the article: the Introduction and the Discussion/Conclusion. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in total hedge frequency between the two groups (p = .935). Native-speaker writers produced 866 hedges (4.38%), while Turkish EFL writers produced 868 (4.39%). The contrast emerges not in quantity, but in placement. Turkish writers used more hedging in Introductions, whereas native-speaker authors used more in Discussion and Conclusion sections, where interpretation and evaluation become more prominent. The findings indicate that both groups share a broad awareness of cautious academic positioning, yet differ in how they distribute that caution across the article. The study therefore suggests that research on hedging should consider rhetorical location alongside raw frequency. The results also point to the value of section-sensitive instruction in EAP and ESP writing classrooms.

Abstract

The halal industry is a contemporary global trend of economic development because of the growing number of Muslim consumers. This is realized in Thailand, although it is a Muslim-minority country. Research studies have been conducted to support the readiness of Thailand as a regional hub of the Halal industry. However, a few works emphasize English studies on Thailand’s Halal industry. Thus, this study aims to analyze lexical, grammatical, and semantic features of English regarding the Halal industry in the Bangkok Post, a leading English-language daily newspaper in Thailand. It also discusses the extent of the structural linguistic features that indicate and contribute to World Englishes in the Islamic context of the Thai and global economy. Based on the frameworks of morphology, grammar, semantics, and World Englishes using textual analysis, results revealed that the journalists utilized and constructed a range of outstanding lexical formations as well as phrases and clauses in English that incorporate Arabic and Thai and convey specific semantic features in order to present the Halal industry in Thai society. These structural linguistic features can indicate their Islamic English, World Englishes of global commerce/economy, and Thai Muslim identity of English.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores how Indonesian local folklore can function as a literary and pedagogical resource in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education by examining symbolic meanings, educational values, and generational reinterpretation. Focusing on the legends of Princess Mayangsari from the Banjar community and Princess Tadampalik from the Bugis tradition, the study integrates Symbolic Interactionism and Value Theory (Western and Islamic) to analyze how moral, cultural, and spiritual values are constructed and transformed. Data were collected through content analysis and in-depth interviews with 20 Generation Z participants, and analyzed using thematic coding. The findings reveal that traditional symbols such as the sacred sword, mirror, white buffalo, and heirloom kris are reinterpreted by Generation Z within contemporary frameworks of rationality, gender equality, ethical leadership, and digital creativity. Rather than perceiving folklore as sacred and static, participants engage with these narratives as reflective texts that support identity formation and moral reasoning. From an EFL perspective, the study demonstrates that local folklore provides authentic narrative materials that enhance narrative literacy, cultural awareness, and character education. The integration of symbolic analysis and digital storytelling further highlights the potential of folklore-based pedagogy to support critical reading, interpretation, and intercultural competence in language learning contexts.
