Abstract

This study investigates Turkish EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners’ perceptions, attitudes, and usage patterns regarding ChatGPT and online dictionaries for the acquisition of English collocations. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected via an online questionnaire from 27 university-level participants, including preparatory and master’s students. The findings reveal that while online dictionaries remain the primary and most trusted resource for checking grammatical patterns and seeking reliable definitions (M=3.81), ChatGPT is increasingly perceived as a valuable "language assistant" for production-based tasks. Specifically, participants rated online dictionaries higher for reliability and ease of use. However, ChatGPT was perceived as more effective for improving writing (M=4.11) and speaking (M=4.04) skills due to its ability to provide personalized feedback and generate contextualized examples. Despite the benefits of AI (Artificial Intelligence), learners demonstrated a cautious approach, often using ChatGPT as a "gap-filler" rather than a primary source. The study concludes that the integration of AI tools does not replace traditional resources but rather offers a complementary framework where dictionaries serve verification purposes and AI facilitates linguistic exploration. Pedagogical implications suggest that educators should provide explicit training on leveraging both tools to foster autonomous and context-aware collocation learning.

Abstract

Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis (CAH) has long been an important tool in understanding the relationship between the first language (L1) and the second language (L2). CAH can be traced to its origins: the behaviorist theory, whose primary role was to predict linguistic interference. However, since this hypothesis has been criticized for not being inclusive and sensitive about learner errors, it left the spotlight to Error Analysis and Interlanguage Theory. However, this systematic review of 19 empirical articles sourced from the Web of Science (2016–2025) reveals that CAH remains highly relevant. Current research demonstrates a paradigm shift: it is not only used as a tool to identify errors, but it also helps educators foster linguistic awareness and bridge the gap between L1 and target-language structures. The study concludes that CAH is a prominent tool, despite previous criticisms, and can be a practical way to enhance both teaching methodologies and learner outcomes when applied in a balanced manner.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of music-based learning in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition among learners. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving experimental interventions where participants engaged with English songs through activities such as guided listening, lyric analysis, and singing. Pre- and post-tests measured vocabulary retention and acquisition, while qualitative feedback assessed learner motivation and attitudes. Data analysis revealed significant improvements in vocabulary scores, with music-based methods outperforming traditional instruction in both short- and long-term retention. Additionally, learners reported increased engagement, reduced anxiety, and greater enjoyment during the learning process. The findings support integrating music as a dynamic pedagogical tool to foster vocabulary growth and positive language learning experiences.

Abstract

This research investigates the pragmatic differences between conversational implicatures produced by artificial intelligence systems and those generated by humans in everyday conversation. Grounded in Grice’s Cooperative Principle and its four conversational maxims—quantity, quality, relation, and manner—the study analyzes how implicatures emerge, function, and are interpreted in human–human and human–AI "chat GPT" interactions. Adopting a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the study examines ten conversational exchanges: five human conversations and five AI-based conversations. The analysis reveals that while artificial intelligence can simulate implicature-like meanings, these implicatures often lack intentionality, contextual sensitivity, and shared socio-cultural grounding. In contrast, human implicatures are deeply rooted in communicative intention, contextual awareness, and social norms. The findings contribute to pragmatic studies and human–AI "chat GPT" communication by highlighting the fundamental pragmatic gap between artificial and human conversational behavior.

Abstract

With the growing population and increasing visibility of the gay community, platforms such as Grindr have become crucial spaces for Filipino gay men to explore and connect; however, existing studies largely focus on hook-up culture, thereby overlooking how users construct identity through language. Thus, this study examined how Filipino gay men use their Grindr's “About Me” section to perform identity and navigate stigma in the Philippines. Situated within digital linguistics and queer studies, the research analyses ninety publicly visible Grindr profiles from Angeles City, Pampanga. Specifically, it was guided by Corpus Linguistics and Nguyen-Trung Kien’s Digital Dramaturgical Model, employing a qualitative, exploratory design through purposive sampling and corpus-based Thematic Analysis. In particular, linguistic features were examined across three categories: (1) words and phrases, (2) acronyms and slang, and (3) emojis. The findings revealed recurring lexical patterns emphasizing discretion, masculinity, sexual roles, health, and immediacy. While acronyms and slang function as efficient subcultural codes for expressing preferences and boundaries, Emojis serve as paralinguistic cues that convey affect and intent. Consequently, these linguistic strategies reflect forms of impression management shaped by platform constraints, sociocultural stigma, and local norms. The study demonstrates that Grindr profiles serve as digital front-stage performances where users negotiate visibility, desirability, and safety, thereby offering localized insight into how Filipino gay men strategically use language to construct identity within a conservative, postcolonial, and multilingual context.

Abstract

The present quantitative research was intended to be written to replicate and extend a previous qualitative study by Yoldaş (2026) to make its results reliable and systematic through multiple linear regression analysis. Previous study focused on EFL teachers’ own technology use and its impact on their students’ engagement. Using JAMOVI software, previous results were transformed into numerical data with this study. A multiple linear regression analysis was administered to explore whether technology use frequency and teachers’ teaching experience had an effect on student engagement. Subsequent to data analysis, it was found that both variables had negative impact on student engagement in language education, proving that instead of focusing on teachers’ technology use frequency, quality of education should be taken into consideration to improve education. Even though pilot study limited the reliability and generalizability of the outcome due to its nature, the study gave insightful outcome for contemporary language teaching with statistical data.

Abstract

India has been the land of diverse cultures and religions over a long period of time. The adherents to different religions have been coexisting peacefully and sharing both the glories and the downfalls together. Though there is a long and well-established tradition of religious engagement and debate in India, the process of religious dialogue, particularly Hindu-Muslim dialogue, has yet to find a cohesive expression and a stable foundation on which to stand. Who isn’t aware about the riots, violence and killings on the name of religion in the history of India? The hatred and the disbelief against Muslims have dealt a huge blow for the unity and diversity of India. However, there is still hope for religious dialogue in India, as the country has been a pluralist culture for centuries and the people have lived through religious tolerance and coexistence. The only solution to this would be interfaith dialogue which is mandatory if not dynamic for everyone to have the understanding of different religions or belief systems. In this article, I would start with a brief introduction about interfaith dialogue, its history in India and then discuss in detail the need, importance and contemporary challenges of interfaith dialogue in India. This would help in understanding the dialogue between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Sikhs, as well as to eliminate prejudices and misunderstandings regarding each other's faiths. It would also assist in the achievement of common goals such as the establishment of justice and world peace, the protection of human rights, and the promotion of moral values.

Abstract

This study examines the interplay between language structure and social relations in hierarchical interactions, focusing on the speeches of religious lecturers addressing street food vendors. Using a qualitative approach, the research employs direct observation and audio recordings to capture the linguistic features and social dynamics within these interactions. The data were analyzed through pragmatic and sociolinguistic frameworks to uncover patterns in language use and relational positioning. The findings reveal that religious lecturers utilize distinct linguistic strategies, including simplified language, contextualized examples, and persuasive rhetoric, to engage their audience effectively. Moreover, the social relations within these interactions are characterized by hierarchical, paternalistic, and authority-based dynamics, reflecting broader cultural and societal structures. This study highlights the role of language in shaping power relations and provides insights into the pragmatic and sociolinguistic mechanisms underlying hierarchical communication.

Abstract

This study investigates the self-perceived impact of screen use on language skills among university students across four disciplines: business, technology, healthcare, and humanity and languages. Quantitative analysis revealed significant differences in perceived impact, with healthcare students reporting the highest levels of benefit, followed by humanity and languages, business, and technology students. Focus group discussions with a subset of 30 students provided qualitative insights, highlighting varying patterns of screen use across three categories: low, moderate, and high screen time users. Low screen time users preferred traditional learning methods and expressed scepticism about the effectiveness of screens. Moderate users leveraged screens as a complementary tool for language practice, while high users perceived transformative benefits, particularly in pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency, despite challenges such as distractions and physical strain. The findings underscore the need for tailored strategies to optimize screen use, taking into account discipline-specific practices and individual screen time habits. This study contributes to understanding the role of digital tools in language learning and offers practical recommendations for integrating screen use effectively in educational contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how precise and effective English communication enhances tour guides’ professional competence, tourist engagement, and overall service quality. The research adopts a mixed-method approach involving quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with professional tour guides and international tourists in major tourism destinations. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, observation checklists, and semi-structured interviews to capture both performance indicators and experiential insights. The analysis employs descriptive statistics and regression analysis to identify the relationship between English communication proficiency and service outcomes, while thematic analysis is used to interpret qualitative responses. The findings indicate that tour guides with higher levels of linguistic accuracy, clarity, and intercultural communication skills significantly improve tourist satisfaction, trust, and engagement. Furthermore, effective communication reduces misunderstandings and enhances the overall travel experience. The study concludes that strengthening English communication through targeted training programs is essential for improving tour guides’ professionalism and competitiveness in the global tourism industry. It recommends continuous language development, practical communication training, and the integration of cultural awareness into professional development initiatives.
