This study was aimed to investigate the implementation of Quick Response Codes in improving student-centred learning and to find out some challenges faced by the learners while using the QR Codes. This study employed descriptive study design and a cross-sectional survey-based design. Two research tools were used, namely, questionnaires and interviews. The participants were 20 students at a private business high school (first grade) located in South Korea. The result of the study showed that students overwhelmingly expressed a positive attitude toward the use of Quick Response Codes (QR codes) in promoting student-centred learning. They perceived QR codes as effective tools for enhancing motivation, engagement, and accessibility to learning resources. The majority of students appreciated the autonomy and collaborative opportunities QR codes offer, contributing to increased participation and self-directed learning. Despite the challenges of varying motivation levels in group work and time constraints, students expressed a high agreement to continue using QR codes in future learning. This underscores the importance of teacher creativity and effective time management to maximize the positive impact of QR codes on student-centred learning. While the study acknowledges varied opinions, it underscores the significant role QR codes play in supporting a student-centric approach to learning.

Wernicke's aphasia is a speech disorder with speech that is quite fluent but has a meaning that does not make sense. Many utterances are just the contents of the sufferer's thoughts. This analysis focuses on the characteristics of sentence production and speech disorders in individuals with Wernicke's aphasia. Individuals with Wernicke's aphasia suffer from a language disorder that affects their ability to communicate effectively. Their speech is typically fluent but nonsensical, and they may struggle to find the right words or understand what is being said to them. They may also make errors in their speech and be unaware of these mistakes, which can make communication even more challenging. Additionally, their sentence structure, grammar, and syntax can be compromised, leading to structurally deficient sentences. Limited use of functional words, the presence of neologisms, and perseveration contribute to the incoherence of their speech. Understanding these characteristics is crucial for developing targeted interventions to enhance communication for individuals with Wernicke's aphasia. The results of this research found that there are 7 types of sentence patterns, 5 types of sentences based on their function and structure, and 4 characteristics of speech disorders that appear in the utterances expressed by Byron.
