Abstract

This study investigates the anthems of two prominent Ghanaian universities, the University of Cape Coast (UCC) and the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), to understand how they contribute to institutional identity and serve as tools for institutional branding within a competitive higher education context. The study is informed by Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and Institutional Branding Theory (Balmer & Gray, 2003). Utilising a qualitative multiple case study design, the study purposively selected official lyrics of anthems of both universities, conducting textual analysis complemented by thematic analysis. The findings indicate that UCC and UEW strategically leverage their anthems to project distinct brand identities to both internal and external audiences, with UCC foregrounding pedagogical leadership and national service, and UEW emphasising moral purpose and ethical excellence. Despite these contrasts, three core identity dimensions emerged for both institutions: professional teacher education, institutional pride and prestige, and forward-looking aspirations. The study concludes that university anthems serve as active instruments of identity construction and branding, reinforcing cohesion, distinctiveness, and the institutional mission. These findings underscore the importance of symbolic cultural artefacts in shaping the identity and communication strategies of higher education institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the transnational diffusion of Indonesian dangdut music as a cultural phenomenon contributing to cosmopolitanism and international engagement. The intensification of globalization has progressively reconfigured the boundaries between local and global cultural production, positioning popular music as an aesthetic medium that articulates identity and facilitates cross-cultural exchange. Within this context, the increasing visibility of dangdut beyond Indonesia’s borders raises pertinent scholarly questions regarding the role of aesthetic practices in shaping soft power dynamics and intercultural acceptance. The research is conceptually anchored in multi-track diplomacy, which recognizes the interplay between state and non-state actors in transnational cultural dissemination. Methodologically, it employs a qualitative approach operationalizing Rogers’ theory of diffusion of innovations to analyze how cultural products evolve, adapt, and attain legitimacy within diverse social systems. This framework is integrated with the concept of cosmopolitan aesthetics, which foregrounds cultural hybridity and shared emotional experience as mechanisms fostering cross-cultural resonance. The central argument posits that the international diffusion of dangdut music exemplifies a cosmopolitan process wherein local cultural identities undergo recontextualization rather than erosion within global cultural flows. By conceptualizing dangdut as both an aesthetic expression and a diplomatic instrument, this study contributes to scholarly discourse on cultural diplomacy and offers an alternative paradigm for understanding how cultural practices may function as pathways toward engagement and harmony in contemporary international relations.

Abstract

Charles de Gaulle stands as one of the most influential political leaders of the twentieth century, whose vision and leadership profoundly reshaped France’s political institutions, foreign policy orientation, and national identity. This article critically examines de Gaulle’s pursuit of French sovereignty and strategic autonomy within the broader theoretical frameworks of nationalism, state sovereignty, and political leadership. By employing qualitative historical analysis and interpretive political methodology, the study explores how de Gaulle transformed France’s domestic governance through the establishment of the Fifth Republic and redefined its international role by pursuing an independent foreign and defense policy during the Cold War. Particular attention is paid to France’s withdrawal from NATO’s integrated military command, the development of an autonomous nuclear deterrent, and de Gaulle’s pragmatic approach to decolonization, especially in Algeria. The research builds on previous analyses by integrating detailed case studies of French institutional reforms, diplomatic correspondence, and domestic political debates, thereby providing a more nuanced understanding of Gaullism as a framework for political sovereignty and the reconstruction of national identity. The findings suggest that de Gaulle’s policies not only restored France’s global status but also created a lasting model of strategic autonomy that continues to shape French political identity. This study adds to current debates on leadership, sovereignty, and post-imperial state change by providing a comprehensive view of Gaullism as both a political doctrine and a durable framework for national independence.

Abstract

Pakistan is exceptionally vulnerable to climate-induced hazards such as floods, droughts, and water scarcity, which disproportionately affect its most vulnerable communities. This systematic qualitative review synthesizes evidence to examine the interplay between these environmental challenges and the social responses of at-risk populations. The objective was to understand how socioeconomic factors shape vulnerability and to identify the coping and adaptive strategies communities employ. Following a PRISMA-style screening approach, a comprehensive search of academic databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar) and institutional reports yielded 41 studies for narrative synthesis, guided by Vulnerability Theory. Key findings reveal that recurrent floods in Punjab and Sindh, and prolonged droughts in Balochistan, exacerbate economic losses, displacement, and health risks. In response, communities use short-term coping mechanisms, such as temporary migration and borrowing, alongside long-term adaptive measures, such as crop diversification, water management, and local disaster committees. The synthesis of Focus Group Discussions and Key Informant Interviews highlights that adaptive capacity is critically shaped by income, education, gender, social networks, and institutional support, with women and youth facing distinct vulnerabilities. The findings underscore the need for integrated, community-centered policies that combine hazard mitigation with socioeconomic support and institutional strengthening. This review contributes to evidence-based policymaking for sustainable disaster management and climate adaptation in Pakistan.

Abstract

At a time when environmental crises demand urgent and informed action, this study examines the “carbon footprint” of Bangladeshi EFL textbooks by analyzing how environmental (un)sustainability is constructed in English for Today textbooks for Classes 6-10. The analysis reveals that these textbooks construct a profoundly unsustainable environmental discourse. Nature is aesthetically framed as a passive spectacle, while crises are trivialized as individual tragedies. Responsibility is systematically individualized onto consumer choices, paradoxically celebrated alongside the high-carbon technologies driving the climate crisis. Climate change is discursively distanced as a future, abstract threat, and a resounding silence on systemic drivers, corporate power, capitalism, and global inequality renders structural critique impossible. Through these strategies, the textbooks function hegemonically to depoliticize environmental engagement, producing students equipped for individual virtue but disabled from the collective action necessary for ecological transformation. In a climate-vulnerable nation, the textbooks systematically deny students the conceptual vocabulary to name, analyze, or challenge the structural drivers of the ecological crisis they inherit. Therefore, the study concludes by calling for critical textbook reform that centers environmental justice, structural analysis, and the cultivation of ecological citizenship.

Abstract

This study examines the pragmatic failure in Arabic–English translation among Iraqi EFL learners. It investigates whether these learners can translate Arabic speech-act expressions into pragmatically appropriate English equivalents. A total of sixty-six undergraduate students at the Faculty of Languages, University of Kufa, participated in this study. The data were gathered using a written translation test consisting of 20 Arabic utterances. These Arabic utterances included common speech acts such as requests, compliments, invitations, apologies, and advice. All responses were evaluated for how well they reflected pragmatic appropriateness. According to the study's results, Iraqi EFL learners were generally successful in translating conventionalized expressions such as apologies, compliments, and expressions of gratitude. However, Iraqi EFL learners showed a number of serious problems in expressing certain speech acts indirectly and in using politeness strategies. These speech acts include requests, refusals, and invitations. The majority of incorrect translations were due to many learners not following English conventions of indirectness and politeness and instead applying the conventions they had learned in Arabic to their English translations. The study highlights the need to develop learners’ pragmatic competence through instruction and translation training, thereby enabling them to produce successful translations that preserve communicative function rather than lexical equivalence.

Abstract

Dress politics remains a crucial arena where colonial legacies, national identity, and diplomatic representation intersect. Yet how indigenous Ghanaian presidential attire is perceived within intra-African encounters is underexplored. This qualitative case study examines the February 2026 Ghana–Zambia 'fugu-blouse' controversy, in which Zambian social media users mislabelled President John Dramani Mahama's indigenous Ghanaian smock a 'blouse.' The resulting Ghanaian rebuttals and the subsequent Fugu Wednesday policy constitute a decolonial intervention. An integrated thematic and critical discourse analysis of 30 heterogeneous, purposively sampled data sources reveals that, among the sampled Zambian comments, misrecognition exemplifies enduring colonial epistemologies within intra-African encounters. The Ghanaian counter-discourses, however, fostered awareness, generated apologies from some Zambians, and reframed the smock as a symbol of nationalism, historical resistance, and cultural pride. The Fugu Wednesday policy emerged as a strategic state-led intervention for sartorial decolonisation and promotion of indigenous dress. Nevertheless, critical policy analysis reveals significant structural lapses. The policy directive lacks a dedicated funding strategy, implementation guidelines, monitoring mechanisms, and enforcement provisions, making compliance largely voluntary and thereby risking tokenism. Surging demand has also exposed supply constraints among smock weavers, yet the policy provides no explicit capacity-building support. The study concludes that the Zambian–Ghanaian ‘fugu–blouse’ controversy and the Fugu Wednesday policy response have collectively resignified the Ghanaian fugu as a national dress identity. This study advances postcolonial literature by identifying intra-African sartorial misrecognition as a neglected dimension of coloniality, showing how colonial logics shape African perceptions and why cultural literacy is essential for Pan-Africanism.

Abstract

This study examines complex lexical units in Azerbaijani and English from linguocultural and cognitive perspectives, aiming to identify differences in their structural organization, semantic composition, and cultural interpretation. Using a qualitative comparative approach, the research analyzes compound words and syntactic expressions from lexicographic sources. The results demonstrate that English lexical units are generally more compact and semantically condensed. Noun-noun compounds, in particular, express culturally embedded meanings in a cognitively economical manner. Conversely, Azerbaijani lexical units expand meaning through syntactic and morphological means, distributing semantic information across several elements and relying more strongly on contextual interpretation. While both languages encode culturally significant knowledge, they employ different cognitive strategies: English favors conceptual compression, whereas Azerbaijani prefers more explicit, descriptive, and relational expressions. Ultimately, the study concludes that these structural differences reflect deeper typological, cultural, and cognitive patterns. This confirms that language structure, cognitive processes, and cultural experience are inextricably linked in the conceptualization and expression of meaning.

Abstract

Discourse-stylistic devices are crucial in creating meaning and coherence in poetry. Studies in the discourse stylistics of poetry remain limited, with most existing studies focusing on the genre's stylistic aspects. Thus, this study is among the first to examine Nnimmo Bassey’s eco-poem “Return to Being” through a discourse-stylistic approach. Drawing on Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) cohesion framework and Leech and Short’s (2007) stylistic model, the study explored how the use of cohesive devices and stylistic choices contributes to the poem’s environmental message. The findings revealed that grammatical and lexical cohesive devices were used to enhance the poem's coherence. The grammatical cohesive devices found include reference and conjunction, while substitution and ellipsis were absent. Again, lexical cohesion was achieved through repetition, synonyms, antonyms, hyponyms, and collocations. Moreover, Bassey employed stylistic features, including grammatical categories and figures of speech, to highlight the devastation of the Niger Delta's natural environment and to call for its restoration. The findings deepen our understanding of the use of discourse-stylistic devices in eco-poetry.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of CEFR-aligned Arabic language instruction in Islamic economics education, focusing on its impact on student motivation and academic achievement. While Arabic is essential for understanding Islamic economic terminology derived from the Qur'an and Hadith, traditional Arabic instruction in Indonesian Islamic economics programs often remains disconnected from disciplinary content. Using a descriptive-analytical method with a sample of 80 students from Universitas Padjadjaran, this study employed pre-test and post-test assessments, motivation questionnaires, and classroom observations. The findings reveal that CEFR-aligned instruction significantly improves both motivation (from 65% to 86% engagement) and learning outcomes (mean score increase from 62 to 81). Students demonstrated enhanced communicative competence in Arabic terminology relevant to Islamic finance, halal certification, and supply chain governance. The study recommends the systematic adoption of CEFR standards in Arabic for Specific Purposes (ASP) curricula and the development of specialized instructional materials for Islamic economics contexts. Ultimately, this research provides an evidence-based pedagogical blueprint for higher education institutions to effectively bridge the gap between theoretical linguistic instruction and the pragmatic demands of the global halal industry.
