Abstract

This study aims to analyze the linguistic behaviors of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, focusing on their use of slang, the influence of digital platforms, and the broader cultural and societal implications of their language practices. A meta-synthetic research design was employed, synthesizing data from 30 academic articles, conference proceedings, and credible publications spanning 2016–2024. Thematic synthesis techniques were applied, including coding, categorization into thematic areas, and meta-synthesis to identify patterns and trends. Quantitative metrics, such as the frequency of slang usage on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, were also analyzed to examine inter-generational differences. The findings reveal that both generations use slang as a cultural marker, with Gen Z favoring socio-political expressions such as "no cap" and "woke," while Gen Alpha leans towards playful, meme-based phrases like "Skibidi" and "pog." Digital platforms significantly shape their linguistic behaviors, with TikTok fostering short-lived trends and Instagram blending slang with visual storytelling. Gen Z exhibits adaptability in integrating slang into formal and informal communication, whereas Gen Alpha faces challenges balancing slang usage with traditional literacy skills. The study also highlights the economic relevance of youth slang, as brands adopt generational language to engage audiences effectively. The study emphasizes the adaptive and expressive nature of youth slang, which serves as both a creative tool and a cultural identifier in the digital era. However, challenges such as maintaining traditional literacy skills and linguistic diversity warrant further attention. It is recommended that educators, policymakers, and marketers leverage these insights to bridge generational communication gaps, design effective learning strategies, and create relatable marketing campaigns. Future research should explore longitudinal studies and cross-cultural comparisons to deepen our understanding of the evolution and impact of youth language.

Abstract

Lexical errors and false cognates pose significant challenges for Croatian learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), often leading to miscommunication and reduced linguistic accuracy. This study examines common lexical errors arising from direct translation, semantic misinterpretation, and interference from Croatian, with a particular focus on false cognates—words that appear similar in both languages but have different meanings. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected through error analysis of student writing samples and teacher observations from Croatian EFL classrooms. The findings reveal that Croatian learners frequently misapply English vocabulary due to phonetic and semantic similarities with Croatian words, leading to errors that hinder fluency and comprehension. Additionally, the study explores how limited exposure to authentic English input and insufficient focus on lexical differentiation in curricula contribute to these errors. Pedagogical strategies such as contrastive analysis, explicit vocabulary instruction, and corpus-based learning are recommended to mitigate these issues. This research underscores the need for targeted interventions in Croatian EFL teaching to enhance lexical competence and foster more accurate language use among learners.

Abstract

World War II profoundly influenced English literature, particularly through the emergence of Holocaust narratives that document trauma, survival, and moral ambiguity. Elie Wiesel’s Night is one of the most significant literary testimonies of the Holocaust, offering a firsthand account of the atrocities experienced in Nazi concentration camps. This study critically examines Night in the broader context of postwar literature, exploring its contributions to trauma representation, memory transmission, and ethical dilemmas. Through a meta-synthetic analysis of scholarly works, this research addresses three key questions: (1) How does Night contribute to the understanding of trauma and memory in postwar literature? (2) What are the key literary and ethical elements in Night that differentiate it from other Holocaust narratives? and (3) How has the reception of Night evolved in educational and literary discourse over time? Findings reveal that Night employs fragmented narration, silence, and minimalist prose to convey the ineffability of trauma, reinforcing its literary and psychological impact. Additionally, the memoir’s rejection of sentimentalism and its portrayal of survival as morally ambiguous set it apart from other Holocaust accounts. Over time, Night has transitioned from relative obscurity to a foundational text in Holocaust education and global memory studies, shaping discussions on genocide prevention and ethical witnessing. This study underscores Night's enduring relevance in literature, history, and ethics, advocating for continued scholarly engagement with its themes in contemporary discourse on trauma and human rights.

Abstract

The application of multimedia in translation education enhances learning and knowledge representation. In this research, the application of animated video, infographic, and gamified translation application is applied to enhance students' performance and engagement in translation study. Using qualitative ethnographic strategies, including classroom observation and interviews, the study explores how multimedia technologies support translation learning. Results show that animated videos successfully visualize complicated translation techniques, text analysis, and cultural adaptation so that abstract theories become more clear. Infographics offer step-by-step, systematically organized descriptions of translation processes for reinforcement of learners' understanding. Gamified programmed like Duolingo and FluentU encourage active translation practice on the part of learners, while motivating them with fun activities and games. While these benefits are present, the study quotes challenges such as cognitive overload and surface learning danger in the event multimedia tools are not accompanied by structured instruction. The results emphasize the need for a balanced pedagogical approach, combining multimedia with conventional text-based instruction and discussion-based methods to maximize engagement and critical thinking.This research contributes to the discussion of multimedia in translation education, highlighting its pedagogical potential and limitations. Subsequent studies should explore the long-term impact of multimedia on translation ability and its adaptability in different learning settings

Abstract

Abstract: This study investigates the challenges in punctuation usage among Libyan EFL secondary students, with the primary objective of identifying specific types and underlying causes of punctuation errors in their writing. A qualitative descriptive methodology was employed, involving a sample of 20 first-year secondary students at Zlitin Central School who participated in narrative writing tests. These tests were specifically designed to identify and categorize punctuation errors. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with four experienced English language teachers from the same school to gain deeper insights into instructional practices and their perceptions regarding students' punctuation difficulties. Data analysis included thematic analysis techniques, resulting in the identification of three main categories of punctuation errors: omission, misinformation, and addition. Among these categories, omission errors, particularly the omission of commas, were most prevalent, reflecting significant gaps in students' punctuation understanding and application. Interviews revealed critical contributing factors, including linguistic interference from the students' first language (Arabic), insufficient explicit instruction regarding punctuation rules, limited practical writing exercises, and a general lack of awareness of punctuation's role in effective written communication. This study highlights the necessity of targeted instructional strategies and curriculum improvements aimed at addressing these challenges. Recommendations include integrating explicit punctuation instruction into the Libyan EFL curriculum, employing error analysis techniques in classroom activities, and enhancing practical writing exercises and feedback mechanisms. By focusing on these pedagogical interventions, educators can significantly improve students' punctuation proficiency, thereby enhancing their overall writing skills and academic performance.
