Abstract

This study investigates literary book borrowing dynamics at Nanjing Normal University (2016–2024), focusing on temporal-spatial-interest (TSI) factors and renewal intention’s moderation. Core data, segmented into 2016–2018, 2019–2021, and 2022–2024, includes gender, renewal status, monthly patterns, locations, and borrowing volumes across Chinese Library Classification (CLC) Category I subcategories. Principal Component Analysis derived TSI, SI, I, and S factors for regression, with renewal as a moderator and logarithmic total borrowing as the dependent variable. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) explored latent structures, and ARIMA(1,0,0)(1,0,1) forecast trends. Findings show TSI exerts stronger influence than single/two-dimensional factors. TSI and renewal positively affect borrowing, peaking in 2019–2021, while renewal negatively moderates TSI’s impact. Subcategories under CLC Category I unveil distinct patterns between Chinese and world literature, mirroring the deepened interaction in literary reading interests between native and cross-regional literatures.   SEM confirms a dual-factor framework, and ARIMA accurately predicts seasonal fluctuations. These insights advance literary engagement theory and inform library resource optimization.

Abstract

This research paper is trying to answer the question “What is the effect of the mere exposure effect on language teaching and learning?” In order to answer this question, the researcher analyzed both the process of the mere exposure effect and a number of previous studies about the subject. The mere exposure effect is the increased favorability of a specific stimulus due to repeated exposure to said stimulus. The results of this research paper show that the mere exposure effect can have both a positive effect and a negative effect on language teaching and learning. However, these effects depend on the existence or non-existence of certain factors alongside the mere exposure effect. In the case of the mere exposure effect having a positive effect on language teaching and learning, several factors must exist alongside it. These factors include varied and new subjects, varied styles of teaching and learning, adaptability, and a love for languages. This shows that the mere exposure effect is only a factor in the processes of language teaching and learning. So, teachers and students must pay attention to the other factors and not only to the mere exposure effect in order to achieve a positive effect on language teaching and learning.

Abstract

Globally, the issue of street-connected children continues to be a growing phenomenon. This scenario is very convoluted to comprehend since there are various factors that contribute to their presence on the streets. To try to understand their lives and bring hope to them via counselling, this critical review systematically searched various journals and articles for references pertaining to the topic. This non-empirical research is advantageous because it can provide theoretical insights, develop new concepts, and synthesize existing knowledge through literature reviews. Mention must be made of its limitations. It lacks empirical evidence which makes the findings potentially subjective, leading to conclusions that can be less reliable and harder to verify through experimentation or direct observation. Nonetheless, the findings identified that street-connected are habitually viewed as victims of poverty, abuse, violence, and discrimination. The findings also revealed that although their lives are constantly rooted in danger it is not impossible to rehabilitate and provide them with counselling and guidance. Moreover, these children have the innate capacity to navigate complex situations, adapt to street life, and build supportive networks. These diverse perspectives shape how society perceives and responds to street-connected children and influence the types of support and interventions provided. Thus, this analysis raises an awareness about their plight and calls supporting organizations to continue to advocate for their rights. While these various organizations provide street-connected children with basic amenities like food, clothing, and shelter, they should also concentrate on long-term solutions such as counselling and guidance and integration.

Abstract

This study investigates the levels of awareness and readiness toward Artificial Intelligence (AI) among undergraduate students in Islamic higher education, focusing on English Language Education students at UIN Raden Intan Lampung. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 150 students through a structured questionnaire that measured four dimensions of AI literacy: awareness, usage, evaluation, and ethics. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the findings. The results indicate that students demonstrated relatively high awareness of AI applications, particularly in recognizing its potential for academic support. However, their ability to evaluate AI-generated outputs was limited, with many reporting low confidence in judging accuracy and bias. Usage was moderate, showing frequent reliance on AI tools for grammar correction and information retrieval but without strategic application. Ethical awareness was also moderate, with students expressing concern about plagiarism but less knowledge of issues such as algorithmic fairness and data privacy. Differences were found across year levels and prior AI experience, with senior students and those with exposure outside the classroom displaying higher readiness. The study highlights the urgent need for targeted curriculum reform, faculty training, and institutional policies that integrate AI literacy within an ethical and culturally grounded framework.

Abstract

English in Bangladesh has evolved from colonial roots to come to signify opportunity, privilege, and socio-economic mobility. The role of English in the construction of linguistic capital in Bangladesh is examined in this work from the political economy perspective, theorizing language as commodity, power, and ideology based on a survey of 80 respondents. Findings illustrate almost complete agreement that English proficiency is shaped more by private forces and worldwide pressures than it is by national policy, replicating social stratification. Government efforts are considered by respondents as insufficient to democratize English access, whereas English dominance in elite employment markets still serves to enhance inequality. Yet, these findings also refer to increasing public awareness of English’s structural injustices. Future studies can take longitudinal ethnographic approaches in examining students’ lived experiences in this linguistic economy. Policymakers, in the meantime, need to envision English education as a public good, with a priority for equitable access, multilingual frameworks, and decolonized pedagogy to make English a bridge of inclusive development in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Idioms are an important part of learning English vocabulary and fluency; however, they are often overlooked in EFL classrooms, especially where language instruction focuses on grammar and literal vocabulary. This study examined the attitudes of EFL students at Ghor University toward learning idioms, the difficulties they faced, and the strategies they used. To achieve the research objectives, a descriptive research design was employed. Data were collected from 78 EFL students using a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 26. The results indicated that students held a positive attitude toward the importance of learning idioms but faced difficulties such as unfamiliar words, inadequate classroom instruction, ineffective cultural courses, the absence of direct equivalents in Farsi, and limited experience in using them. To overcome these challenges, they used strategies like translating idioms into Farsi, using keywords, practicing English outside class, and guessing meanings from context. The study suggests that EFL instructors in similar contexts could integrate idioms into classroom activities using interactive and practical strategies to support learning. However, these findings provide a useful insight into the experiences of students at a single institution and may not be generalizable to other contexts. Therefore, any teaching suggestions should be considered carefully.

Abstract

This study explores fifth-semester preservice English students’ experiences in using English songs as a resource for vocabulary learning. Although previous studies have highlighted the benefits of songs, limited research has examined how learners use them independently in daily life. This qualitative descriptive case study involved ten fifth-semester students from the English Language Education Department at UIN Walisongo Semarang in 2025 who regularly engaged with English songs as part of their informal learning. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal three main themes: (1) vocabulary learning strategies, such as repeated listening, lyric checking, translation use, contextual guessing, and limited note-taking; (2) perceived benefits, including stronger motivation, improved retention through melody, better pronunciation, enhanced listening skills, and exposure to colloquial expressions; and (3) challenges, such as fast-paced lyrics, figurative language, slang, reduced focus, and non-standard grammar. Overall, English songs function as an enjoyable supplementary tool that supports vocabulary development, although additional strategies may be needed to maximize their effectiveness.

Abstract

In the era of global maritime communication, English plays a vital role as a working language for safety, coordination, and professional interaction within the international maritime industry. This study explores marine cadets’ experiences in learning English as a General Course at a Banyuwangi Marine Academy, with particular attention to how the course supports their communicative needs in maritime contexts. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving selected cadets enrolled in the English General Course. The data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns related to perceptions, learning challenges, and instructional practices. The findings reveal that although cadets perceive English as highly important for their future maritime careers, they consider the course insufficiently contextualized to real maritime communication demands. Key challenges include limited speaking confidence, inadequate mastery of maritime-specific terminology, and anxiety in oral communication activities. Observational data further indicate that instructional practices are predominantly teacher-centered and emphasize grammatical knowledge over communicative and experiential learning. As a result, opportunities for meaningful interaction and practical language use remain limited. This study highlights a mismatch between curriculum design and cadets’ professional expectations in the context of global maritime operations. The findings suggest the need to reconceptualize English as a General Course by integrating maritime-oriented content, learner-centered pedagogy, and communicative activities that reflect authentic maritime scenarios. Such improvements are essential to enhance cadets’ communicative competence and readiness for participation in the global maritime workforce.

Abstract

The English -ing form has long challenged grammatical description because it appears in structures that function nominally, verbally, and adjectivally. In pedagogical grammar, this multifunctionality is commonly simplified through the distinction between gerunds and present participles. However, previous studies have shown that such a binary explanation often fails to account for the syntactic, semantic, and discourse-based variability of -ing constructions in authentic language use. Despite this, theoretical discussions of grammatical variation and pedagogical studies of learner difficulty have often remained disconnected. This study aimed to synthesize scholarship on gerunds and present participles, evaluate the analytical usefulness of the traditional distinction, and identify implications for grammar teaching in EFL/ESL contexts. The study employed a structured literature review design informed by systematic searching, screening, eligibility checking, and synthesis procedures. The data consisted of secondary sources, primarily peer-reviewed journal articles, supplemented by selected scholarly books and book chapters. Data were collected from Google Scholar, institutional repositories, and journal publisher platforms using keywords related to gerunds, present participles, -ing forms, and learner difficulties. The selected studies were analyzed through directed qualitative content analysis by coding and grouping findings into recurring categories such as syntactic function, semantic role, formal distribution, overlap, and pedagogical implications. The findings indicate that the distinction between gerunds and present participles remains analytically useful, but it should not be treated as a rigid binary category. Instead, -ing forms are better understood through distributional and contextual analysis. The review also shows that learners frequently struggle with these forms, suggesting the need for more contextualized, corpus-informed, and function-based grammar instruction.

Abstract

Generative AI tools are increasingly used for AI-mediated Informal Digital Learning of English (AI-IDLE), yet research has paid limited attention to how learners negotiate ethical responsibility and algorithmic bias during everyday, out-of-class use, particularly in value-oriented faculties. This qualitative study examined ethical awareness and perceived algorithmic bias in AI-IDLE among Sharia Faculty students at UIN Raden Intan Lampung. Using a qualitative descriptive case study design, twelve undergraduates were recruited through purposive maximum-variation sampling. Data were generated from semi-structured interviews and a curated set of anonymized AI interaction artifacts (e.g., prompts and outputs for explanation, drafting, and translation), supported by brief artifact walkthroughs when feasible. Data were analyzed via reflexive thematic analysis with iterative coding, memoing, and cross-source comparison to strengthen interpretive transparency. Findings showed that ethical awareness operated as context-sensitive boundary-making: students differentiated AI as a learning scaffold versus a substitute for intellectual labor, tightened limits in assessment-adjacent tasks, and reclaimed authorship through substantive rewriting to preserve voice and stance. Ethical reasoning also included privacy stewardship through data minimization in prompts, though awareness varied. Regarding bias, students most often noted Western-centric framing in value-laden examples and language standardization that diluted pragmatic or culturally embedded meanings. Fluent outputs produced an authority effect, but many participants reported mitigation routines such as verification, requesting multiple viewpoints, and re-prompting for Indonesian/Islamic contextualization. The study implies that AI-IDLE guidance should integrate ethical boundary-setting, privacy-aware prompting, and critical AI literacy practices to support responsible and culturally responsive informal language learning.
