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.

Abstract

Infinite feeds have conditioned us to think of engagement metrics — such as clicks, views, and watch time — as a shorthand for media efficacy. But participation is a behavioral proxy, not a societal endpoint. This editorial review reframes a media effects research agenda in terms more suitable for exposure–experience–effect and further proposes a pragmatic approach that incorporates equity and public value, in addition to impact. (1) situate engagement in historical and recent effects lines of thinking, (2) diagnose methodological and ethical limitations to a focus on one’s audience as a measurable object, (3) offer an alternative triad of measurement–mechanism–meaningful change and a four-family schema for outcomes including informational quality, personal well-being, civic capacity, and cultural agency; (4) provide mixed-methods designs along with subgroup approaches for causal inference and distributional harms; and (5) translate the rethinking into checklists for authors, reviewers, and designers. We contend that the role of media-effects research is to inform us about what changes, for whom, and at what cost, not just how long attention can be held. The article concludes with standards and statements that can be adopted directly into editorials.
