The Integrative Application of Conceptual Metaphor in English Vocabulary Teaching
Get PDFThis literature review selects domestic and international literature based on the application of conceptual metaphors in English vocabulary teaching in the past thirty years. After sorting and summarizing, it is found that both domestic and foreign literature have confirmed the feasibility and effectiveness of conceptual metaphors in English vocabulary teaching; some scholars have also found that the application of conceptual metaphors in teaching can help students to better maintain short-term vocabulary memory and independently transfer theories to the acquisition of new words; and some scholars also found that the application of conceptual metaphors in English vocabulary teaching can effectively alleviate the effect of negative transfer of the first language. The application of conceptual metaphors in second language teaching is becoming more and more mature, but there are still some problems, for example, the selection of subjects is fixed, the range of vocabulary is narrow, and it is not known how conceptual metaphors work in the teaching... Nevertheless, these shortcomings can be a source of inspiration for future research

Faith, Literacy, and Language: Exploring the Intersectional Barriers to Integration for Middle Eastern Women Migrants in the UK
Get PDFAim: This paper explores the intersectional barriers to integration faced by Middle Eastern migrant women in the United Kingdom, with a focus on faith, literacy, and language. Approach: Using an intersectional lens, it reviews existing literature rather than new empirical data, drawing on studies of religion, gender, and migration (Anthias 2020; Yuval-Davis 2021; Phillimore 2020). Findings: Faith-based identities provide both challenges and resources. On one hand, cultural and religious expectations can limit women’s access to education and employment (Shanneik 2022; Yuval-Davis 2021). On the other, faith communities and women-only groups can create safe spaces for resilience, solidarity, and learning (Connor and Koenig 2018; Cheung and Phillimore 2022). Literacy and language also intersect with faith, shaping access to public life and belonging (Erel and Ryan 2019; Gidley 2022). Implications: Integration policies and educational initiatives must account for these intersecting factors and foster inclusive spaces that recognise both constraints and opportunities in migrant women’s lives

Strategies and Challenges in Teaching and Learning Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in Kolehiyo Ng Subic
Get PDFThe main objective of this proposed study was to investigate and determine the strategies and challenges in teaching and learning Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in Kolehiyo Ng Subic during SY 2024-2025. This study had employed the descriptive research method with the survey questionnaire as the main tool of gathering data and information from teachers-respondents. The statistical treatment of this study utilized tools such as frequency, mean, and ANOVA. Based on the summary of the investigations, the researcher concluded that the respondent is a typical female; respondents are from mid-career professionals showed based on their age; majority were specialized in Business Education subjects and entrepreneurship; BS degree with masteral units and large proportion are positioned as part-time instructors and had been in teaching for almost a decade. The teacher respondents assessed “Very Highly Utilized” strategies in teaching and learning HOTS. While on the challenges in teaching and learning HOTS, teacher respondents assessed “Very Highly Challenging”. There is no significant difference in the utilization of strategies for teaching higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) when grouped according to age, sex, field of specialization, academic position, or highest educational attainment. More so, there were no significant differences in the perceived challenges of teaching and learning higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) when grouped according to teacher profile variables. The researcher consistently suggests a shared institutional commitment to promoting critical thinking skills through standardized pedagogical approaches; and that institutional culture and policy play a central role in fostering uniformity in instructional practices across faculty members; such uniform application underscores the effectiveness of institutional frameworks and professional development efforts in ensuring the broad adoption of HOTS-focused teaching methodologies in which implication is to significantly address the challenges in HOTS; that implementation should focus on systemic solutions rather than demographic-targeted interventions; and finally, to conduct a similar or parallel study with wider in scope so as to validate and confirm the findings obtained in the study
Cultural Differences in Chinese and American Family Education: Situational Narratives in The Pursuit of Happiness and Growing Pain
Get PDFThe family is the first socialized unit that a person comes into contact with after birth, and the educational activities of the family begin at birth and end at death. The cultivation of a person\u27s character and the formation of values are closely related to the moral education he receives from the family.There are many differences between China and the United States in terms of cultural traditions, conceptual awareness, lifestyles, and social customs. The reason for analyzing the difference in family education between the two countries is that we correctly borrow the premise of the advanced education concept of the United States. Finding the best combination among these differences and learning from the reasonable family education methods in the United States will help improve China\u27s family education.
This article selects two works for comparison, one is the inspirational movie The Pursuit of Happiness that swept around the United States at the end of this century and the beginning of the last century, and a well-known TV series Growing Pain in China. These two works were chosen because they are very famous in both countries and the family education concepts in them highlight the family education styles of the United States and China respectively, which are very representative.
This paper adopts the comparative analysis and the literature research method to compare the commonalities and differences of family education in China and the United States. Through the comparison of situational narrative (comparison of narrative sections, comparison of narrative techniques and comparison of narrative rhetoric) and comparison of family education models (comparison of ideas, parent-child activities and difficulty solving) of the two works, the advanced experience of American family education is summarized,such as paying attention to children\u27s independence, paying attention to cultivating a sense of equality, respecting children and so on. Its essence is refined and absorbed, which has good reference significance for the improvement of Chinese family education
Towards Dalit Responsive Policies during COVID-19: A Case of Karnali Provincial Government of Nepal
Get PDFThe widening civic space reveals the needs of the needy people during the pandemic while making policies. The article intends to explore the civic space of Dalits in the policies and programs of Karnali Provincial Government during the period of COVID-19 by addressing the questions ahead: Why was the civic space for Dalits shrunk during the pandemic? How did Dalits influence local duty-bearers? The primary and secondary sources of information were interpreted. It found that Dalits were deprived of the civic spaces in terms of policies and programs of the provincial government. As the civil society organizations are overwhelmed by the dominance of non-Dalits in the decision-making levels, the Dalits were less participated in the meetings, forums and debates on the reliefs and resources for the local victims. Non-Dalits had accessed to the reliefs and resources due to their nexus to the policy-makers of the provincial government. There was no impartiality in distributing resources to the COVID-victims. Dalits have had a compulsion to live up to the mercy of others. The reigning ideology of caste system remained proactive to discriminate Dalits. It was reflected in the performances of the political, social and religious elites in the society. The civic space is shrunk even in democracy due to the unchanged power relationships on the basis of caste, class, gender and regional imbalances. It is suggested that the civil society organizations must work to the cause of tolerance and equal footing fostering the values of pluralism. Uncivil society hampers to the spirit of democracy
From Welcome to Weariness: Understanding Integration Fatigue in Contemporary Europe: A Conceptual Exploration of Emotional, Institutional, and Societal Exhaustion (with a Focus on Western and Northern European Societies, 2019–2025)
Get PDFThis conceptual paper examines the emerging phenomenon of integration fatigue in contemporary Europe, with a focus on Western and Northern societies between 2019 and 2025. Once characterised by solidarity and empathy during the 2015 refugee influx (Triandafyllidou, 2018), Europe now faces emotional, institutional, and societal exhaustion. Drawing on theoretical perspectives from migration, psychology, and sociology (Betts, 2021; Miller and Goodman, 2022), the study proposes a three-dimensional framework of integration fatigue: emotional fatigue (the decline of public empathy and compassion) (Bauman, 2019), institutional fatigue (policy overload and bureaucratic stagnation) (Scholten and Penninx, 2020), and societal fatigue (polarisation and the erosion of collective trust) (Eberl et al., 2021). The paper argues that the COVID-19 pandemic intensified pre-existing strains (Dahlberg et al., 2022), transforming integration from a hopeful moral project into a contested, draining process. Rather than viewing fatigue merely as resistance, this article interprets it as a symptom of overextended emotional and institutional capacities (Kleist, 2023). It concludes by suggesting that “sustainable integration energy” requires renewed emotional literacy, resilient governance, and inclusive communication strategies (Isin and Nyers, 2020; Favell, 2023). By reframing fatigue as both a challenge and a diagnostic tool, this study contributes to understanding Europe’s shifting integration landscape and offers new directions for theory and policy
