Abstract

This study examines the media strategies employed by Orthodox Church television networks in five predominantly Orthodox countries: Romania, Serbia, Greece, Russia, and Georgia. As religious broadcasting continues to play a significant role in shaping public discourse and reinforcing religious identity, this research explores how these networks navigate the intersection of faith, culture, and media in their respective sociopolitical contexts. Through a comparative analysis, the article investigates the programming content, audience engagement tactics, and technological adaptations utilized by these networks, as well as their responses to challenges such as secularization, digital transformation, and political influences. By drawing on case studies from each country, the study highlights both commonalities and divergences in their media strategies, shedding light on the evolving role of religious media in the digital age. The findings contribute to broader discussions on the relationship between religion, media, and society, offering insights into how Orthodox Church televisions balance tradition and innovation to maintain relevance in a rapidly changing media landscape.

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the transforming potential of AI-driven translating tools in safeguarding and advancing India’s great linguistic variety. By allowing their translation into generally spoken tongues, technologies including Bhashini, Anuvadini, Google Translate, and DeepL are becoming increasingly effective tools for bridging linguistic barriers and reducing the loss of threatened languages. By doing this, these instruments become quite important in preserving cultural identities and guaranteeing the survival of linguistic legacy. This study emphasizes how AI translation tools not only improve efficient communication among many language communities but also greatly help to digital archiving of languages for next generations, so increasing their accessibility and understandable value to more general audiences. This paper shows that AI-driven translating tools not only serve as means of linguistic preservation but also as essential resources for ensuring the continuous relevance and survival of India’s several languages in the digital era by combining a mixed-methods approach—integrating both quantitative survey data collected via WhatsApp and Instagram and qualitative insights drawn from academic articles, web sources. These results have broad ramifications since they highlight the pressing need of legislators, technologists, and cultural players to fund the creation of inclusive, accurate, and sensitive AI language tools. Moreover, the research implies that ensuring that minority and threatened languages are meaningfully reflected in the digital sphere will depend on cooperative efforts among local communities, linguists, and technology developers. This study creates opportunities for future innovation aiming at promoting linguistic equity and cultural sustainability in India and beyond by advancing the debate on the ethical and cultural obligations of artificial intelligence development.

Abstract

Environmental degradation necessitates urgent action, yet a gap often exists between awareness and behavior, particularly among youth who are crucial for future sustainability. Higher education institutions potentially play a significant role in shaping student environmentalism. This study addresses the persistent disconnect between environmental awareness and consistent pro-environmental action among university students. It specifically investigates factors influencing this gap, including the perceived environmental responsibility of the students' university. The study aimed to: (1) Assess university students' environmental knowledge (particularly regarding marine litter), attitudes, and awareness; (2) Identify factors influencing engagement in specific pro-environmental behaviors; (3) Evaluate how perceptions of university environmental responsibility affect student attitudes and behaviors; and (4) Explore perceived barriers and facilitators to environmental action. This research employed a mixed-methods approach with 122 university students. Quantitative survey data measured environmental knowledge (true/false, multiple choice), attitudes (Likert scales, e.g., interest, worry), and self-reported behaviors (e.g., household actions, waste separation). Qualitative data from open-ended questions explored perceptions of barriers, facilitators, and the university's role. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, correlations, t-tests, ANOVA, and regression; thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. Students demonstrated high environmental interest (Mean=4.01/5) and worry (Mean=3.96/5). However, a significant awareness-action gap was evident; for instance, while 81.1% reported using cloth bags, only 39.3% consistently separated household waste. Knowledge varied, with strong understanding of microplastic impacts (89.3% aware of health effects) but misconceptions about local issues (only 41.8% correctly disagreed the Adriatic Sea is clean). Social media emerged as the dominant information source (41%). Crucially, perceived university environmental responsibility significantly influenced student attitudes and behaviors. Qualitative findings highlighted inadequate university infrastructure (e.g., lack of recycling bins, prevalent single-use plastics) as a key barrier. These results underscore universities' critical role in bridging the awareness-action gap. Institutions must actively cultivate environmental responsibility through visible initiatives, improved infrastructure (like accessible recycling), and curriculum integration. Targeted interventions should leverage peer influence, address specific knowledge gaps (e.g., local pollution realities), and translate student concern into tangible, sustainable actions within the campus and community.

Abstract

Translating humor is a complex process that demands consideration of the target audience in terms of cultural background, language constraints, and cultural diversity. This study aims to systematically analyze and compare the translation strategies of fan and official subtitles in conveying humor in Hotel Transylvania 2 based on Pedersen’s (2005) translation strategy model. In addition, Nababan’s (2012) translation quality assessment model is used to explore and evaluate the impact of various translation strategies on the accuracy of both subtitles in the film. Humorous utterances from the English fantasy comedy Hotel Transylvania 2 screened on Netflix (Chinese official subtitles) as well as the fansub translated version from publicly available subtitle-sharing sites, are used as data in this study. Through qualitative analysis, this study evaluates the humor translation strategies and their accuracy level across Chinese and English languages and cultures. The findings demonstrate that certain strategies are widely used in both subtitles, some leading to a higher degree of inaccuracy in translations. These findings provide some implications for improving the accuracy and quality of humor translation in both official subtitles and fansubs of Hotel Transylvania 2.

Abstract

Narratives play a central role in our daily lives. They organize to the possibilities of our culturally bounded material world by teaching the roles, processes and emotional parameters of our particular community. Through social life, we acquire a framework of references to interpret our experiences and negotiate meanings (Bruner & Haste, 1990). But narratives do not stand still in a material support. Since their oral origins, they have move to stone, codex, books, digital formats and countless material ways to transmit them. This is to say they transpose from one media to other and from one genre to other, adapting itself to the possibilities each support/genre offers. Modern media and genres involve nowadays multimodal texts, which means that there is also a movement from one mode to another (Lim and Tan-Chia, 2023: 90). By definition legislative and legal genres constitute a part of the legal framework established by government officials to address complex societal issues (Dimok, 2012: 338). As discourse, they involve a discursive and a social practice but, unlike many other genres, they provide material resources to protect the representations they include. Nevertheless, in their spirit of enforcing behaviours, legislative and legal genres present limitations. The same feature that grants them a high hierarchy also constrains their reach: normative language does not sell; it is not suitable for a mass audience. So, these meanings must be re-written into a broader construction for non-expert auditoriums. In this work we use ecolinguistics as main theoretical framework to investigate the construction and transposition of emotional meanings in food legislation regarding the 2019 Bird flu outbreak in Argentina. We adopt the systemic-functional tools proposed by Kress and van Leeuwen (2005) for image analysis; Ekman & Friesen (1978, 1986) and Ekman (2003) for facial expressions of emotion and Forte (2023a) for music analysis.

Abstract

Politeness on social media is an important on speaking in the cyberspace. Language speech in cyberspace needs to receive attention so that the language used can be accepted among society, especially in Indonesia who are oriented towards Eastern culture with the politeness be the important issue to be discussed. Studies on media related to politeness strategies using the Cyberpragmatic approach in presidential candidate debates is still rarely to conduct especially the research that provided the role of context such as speaker cultural background and condition influencing the expression of utterance. To adress this gap, our research with a qualitative descriptive design seeks to see the impression of politeness strategies used by native Indonesian speaker in Twitter during the fourth of 2024 presidential candidate debate. Our findings revealed that the use of politeness strategies was found give the impression that the choice of politeness strategies in commenting on social media needs to be considered among the native Indonesian speaker when using social media so that the speech conveyed does not cause controversy and can be accepted by other language users involved in virtual communication which in return helps to build quality relationships and keeps them as Indonesian which have good at attitude, communicative competence, and beliefs.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the incorporation of the tenets of Atomic Habits in pedagogical practice and to examine how teachers employ habit-based techniques to influence student learning. As the education system more and more encourages this approach to improving engagement and academic success, it becomes critically important to understand how small, consistent changes in behavior can impact learning. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how Atomic Habits by James Clear, a bestseller that details the laws of habit, can be applied to teaching and how this application may benefit student motivation, behavior, and outcomes. A qualitative methodology was employed, which consisted of 15 personal interviews with teachers from secondary schools. The teachers, from schools in Narowal, Pakistan, were purposively chosen. The analysis also included content analysis of the book Atomic Habits as well as related academic literature to analyze whether reported habit formation strategies offered a potential reality check and correlation with student success. Interview data were thematically analyzed to determine key learning regarding the application and impacts of habit-based strategies. The results indicate that when teachers employed strategies like identity-based habits, habit stacking, and environmental structuring, they experienced an enhancement in the students’ motivation, academic engagement, and performance. However, some limitations were identified, including the ability to maintain a common approach across a range of student interests and class sizes. This study adds to our knowledge of how small-scale, incremental changes in students' behavior will, through habit-building interventions, have the potential to greatly improve educational performance. The findings of the study imply that habit-based teaching methods may have a tremendous impact on student performance. Subsequent research could investigate the longer-term effects of habit creation on students' outcomes and examine the role that technology can play when used to support habit formation within an educational setting.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of Curipod, an AI-powered lesson design tool, in developing planning competence among pre-service English language teachers. Situated within the “Teachnology” training program in Uzbekistan, the study involved six trainees who used Curipod to design and deliver interactive 30-minute demo lessons. Drawing on lesson plan evaluations, reflections, and observer notes, the study found that Curipod enhanced the structural quality of lessons, reduced planning anxiety, and encouraged creative integration of multimodal elements. Trainees reported improved confidence in organizing content, timing tasks, and aligning objectives with classroom activities. However, challenges included overreliance on AI templates and occasional mismatches in content relevance. The findings highlight Curipod’s role as a digital scaffold, supporting pedagogical thinking without replacing the teacher’s role. Implications for teacher education include integrating reflective tasks on AI use, promoting critical digital literacy, and ensuring contextual and cultural adaptation of AI-generated content. The study contributes to growing research on AI in ELT, offering practical recommendations for using generative tools in teacher preparation programs.

Abstract

This study is situated within the context of contemporary foreign language education wherein cultural understanding is considered integral to linguistic proficiency, particularly in the diverse field of Arabic pedagogy. Still, despite the prevalent use of out-of-class activities, few studies have explored the full range of these strategies systematically. The current study fills a gap by providing a comprehensive overview of the evidence supporting these methods. The main objective of this study is to identify, categorize, and document the extracurricular strategies used for teaching Arabic culture to non-native speakers. The research design involved a five-stage scoping review following the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Data were collected through a systematic search of electronic databases (including Google Scholar, Scopus, and Dar Al-Mandumah) using keywords in both English and Arabic, resulting in a final dataset of 35 relevant scholarly sources out of 1,250 previous studies. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to chart, collate, and identify recurring strategies and themes across the literature. The analysis uncovered five dominant extracurricular strategies: (1) homestays, (2) language partner programs, (3) structured field trips, (4) community-based service-learning, and (5) cultural clubs and media workshops. Key results pinpoint a profound scarcity of rigorous empirical research, an absence of comparative studies, and a strong geographical bias in the literature toward Egypt and Morocco. This research provides evidence of a growing consensus on what strategies are used at the expense of their relative effectiveness. With this in mind, the study urges future research to conduct more empirical, comparative, and geographically diverse studies, deploying reliable and validated tools to measure cultural competence and cultural sensitivity.
