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.

Abstract

This multimodal phenomenological study investigates the lived experiences of low-proficiency ESL undergraduates’ emotional, cognitive, and metacognitive responses during human versus AI chatbot-partnered spoken interactions using the target language of the learners, i.e., English. A multimodal visual analysis approach, grounded in thematic coding, supported the analysis of participant drawings, and the data from the semi-structured focus group discussions were thematically analyzed. The findings reveal a significantly positive response to including voice-enabled AI-chatbots as potential L2 speaking partners due to their non-judgmental, uncritical, accommodating, and facilitative potential, drastically reducing Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA), cognitive overload, fear of making mistakes, being judged, and ridiculed, all of which were present during their spoken interactions in English with a proficient speaker. Situated in a postcolonial context, the implications of reticence in speaking English yield significant findings that highlight nuanced, problematic, and ideologically and socially laden implications as they unravel the internalized power asymmetries and linguistic marginalization rooted in unwarranted colonial legacies. The study’s major contribution lies in its depiction of the underrepresented postcolonial perspectives of linguistically disempowered individuals during their L2 speaking skills development. While reflecting on the potential of AI as an enabling resource for supporting the development of spoken English among beginner-level adult ESL learners, this study also draws attention to the structural inequalities within a postcolonial community that should be addressed with the understanding that AI alone cannot mitigate reticence in English speaking.

Abstract

Algeria faces increasing environmental pressures associated with desertification, water scarcity, climate change, and hydrocarbon dependent development. At the same time, environmental debates in the country are shaped by competing discourses concerning nature, development, and sovereignty. This study examines how environmental meanings are constructed and contested within Algerian environmental discourse through the interaction between traditional ecological knowledge, state developmental narratives, and contemporary environmental activism. The study adopts a qualitative discourse analytical approach grounded in the post structural discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe. The analysis is based on a purposively selected corpus consisting of policy documents, academic studies, environmental reports, and media and activist texts related to anti-fracking mobilizations in southern Algeria. The findings reveal that traditional ecological systems such as foggaras and ghout oasis agriculture articulate environmental stewardship through communal governance, ecological adaptation, and sustainable resource management. In contrast, post-independence developmental discourse frames natural resources primarily as instruments of industrial modernization and national sovereignty. The study further demonstrates that contemporary environmental activism challenges this extractivist model by linking environmental protection with democratic participation, social justice, and cultural identity. Environmental discourse in Algeria, therefore, emerges as a field of political and ideological contestation in which competing actors attempt to define legitimate models of development and sustainability. The study contributes to environmental discourse scholarship by demonstrating how ecological debates in North Africa are deeply connected to historical memory, political authority, and struggles over resource governance. The findings further suggest that sustainable environmental governance in Algeria requires greater recognition of local ecological knowledge and more participatory approaches to environmental decision-making.

Abstract

The increasing dependence on social media for health information among young people has transformed health communication, with health influencers emerging as important sources of health advice. However, concerns have been raised regarding the credibility of health information shared by influencers and the extent to which such information influences the health behaviour of users. Previous studies have examined health influencers; however, the specific dimensions of source credibility particularly expertise and trustworthiness and how these dimensions predict the adoption of health messages among Nigerian undergraduates have received limited scholarly attention. This study examined the influence of the perceived expertise and trustworthiness of Aproko Doctor, a Nigerian medical influencer, on the adoption of health messages among undergraduates of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was adopted. Data were collected from 264 undergraduates who followed Aproko Doctor on social media using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis. The findings revealed high levels of perceived expertise (Grand Mean = 4.13) and trustworthiness (Grand Mean = 4.11) among the respondents. The respondents also demonstrated a high level of health message adoption (Grand Mean = 4.03). Correlation analysis showed that perceived expertise (r = 0.369, p < 0.001) and trustworthiness (r = 0.523, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with message adoption. However, multiple regression analysis revealed that when both variables were modelled simultaneously, only perceived trustworthiness significantly predicted message adoption (β = 0.507, p < 0.001), while perceived expertise did not emerge as a significant predictor (β = 0.023, p = 0.711). The regression model was statistically significant (F(2, 261) = 49.19, p < 0.001) and accounted for 27.4% of the variance in health message adoption (R² = 0.274). The study demonstrates that medically qualified health influencers can serve as credible sources of health information and effectively promote positive health behaviours among young people. The findings provide practical insights for public health agencies seeking to leverage trusted medical influencers in health promotion campaigns in Nigeria.
