Combination Of Using Chatgpt And Quizlet To Learn Vocabulary: A Study Of Learners’ Perceptions, Uyên Tràn Như Lê, Huyen Diem Bich Bui

Journal of English and Applied Linguistics

Although vocabulary learning is essential for reading comprehension, many students encounter challenges in personalizing their learning due to limited access to supportive tools or techniques. The integration of digital learning platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities for addressing this issue. The combination of Quizlet and ChatGPT 5.0 (free version) provides a promising solution for vocabulary learning. However, there remains limited research, especially in Vietnam, on how students perceive AI-assisted vocabulary learning. This study examines how 107 pre-intermediate-level non-majors at a university in Ho Chi Minh City perceive the combination of Chat GPT and Quizlet for vocabulary learning in …

Trauma-Informed Esl Ecology: Centering Teacher Well-Being, Equity, And Structural Responsibility In Adult Esl Classrooms, Ghenwa Nasreddine, Heejin Song

Journal of English and Applied Linguistics

Government-funded adult English as a second language (ESL) programs in Anglophone countries increasingly encounter students with histories of trauma, displacement, and structural adversity due to existing and emerging geopolitical conflicts and unsettling sociopolitical realities. These conditions shaping English language teaching (ELT) inevitably influence learners’ cognitive and emotional engagement in language learning, as well as their relationships with teachers and peers. Despite burgeoning literature on trauma-informed practice in ELT, significant gaps remain regarding teacher preparedness, professional development, and institutional support structures to enact trauma-informed pedagogies in linguistically and culturally diverse adult ESL classrooms. Drawing on a critical review of recent scholarship …

Building An Inclusive Workforce: Closing Equity Gaps In Community Colleges And Vocational Schools With Elliott’S Embodied Inclusion 360 Framework Plain Language Summary, Niki Elliott Ph.D. Jun 2026

Building An Inclusive Workforce: Closing Equity Gaps In Community Colleges And Vocational Schools With Elliott’S Embodied Inclusion 360 Framework Plain Language Summary, Niki Elliott Ph.D.

Inclusion in Postsecondary Education

This paper explains why community colleges and vocational schools need to do more to support students who are neurodiverse (such as students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or mental health conditions), especially students of color and men of color. Community colleges and vocational schools serve millions of students and are often the main path to good-paying jobs in the skilled trades. However, many students who enroll, especially students with disabilities and students of color, do not complete their programs. The article argues that schools must move beyond basic disability accommodations and instead redesign how they teach, support, and structure learning environments.

Evolution Of Respiratory Therapist Training In Taiwan: A 17-Year Journey From Legislation To Competency-Based Education, Wei-Jhen Wang, Cheng-Heng Liu, Yun-Ting Tseng, Yi-Ting Hung, Hui-Jiuan Chen, Yao-Wen Kuo, Huey-Ling Chen

Journal of Medical Education

Respiratory therapist (RT) training in Taiwan has evolved over two decades, progressing from legislative foundation to a competency-based education framework. The Respiratory Therapists Act, promulgated in 2002, formalized the profession and mandated national licensure. Subsequently, university-level programs emerged, replacing hospital-based training. To bridge the gap between academic preparation and clinical demands, a nationwide two-year post-graduate year (PGY) training program was implemented in 2007, currently delivered across 13 accredited training institutions. Through the institutional experience of National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), presented as an illustrative case study, we describe a 17-year, feedback-driven process of continuous improvement encompassing 16 curriculum revisions. Recent …

A Case Study Of Sport And Racism In Australia: A Qualitative Document Analysis, Vegneskumar Maniam, Kristy O’Neill Jun 2026

A Case Study Of Sport And Racism In Australia: A Qualitative Document Analysis, Vegneskumar Maniam, Kristy O’Neill

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

Australia is well known as a ‘sporting nation’ with outstanding elite sporting achievements and grassroots-level sports participation. The reality for Australia’s First Nations people and those from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds, however, tends to differ from the mainstream Australian population. One of the contributing factors being argued within this paper is the prevalence of historical and contemporary racism in Australian sport. This study focuses on four of Australia’s most popular community-participation sports, including Australian Rules Football (ARF), Cricket, Netball, and Swimming. Using a Qualitative Document Analysis method, this research investigates both primary and secondary sources for instances of …

Sexuality-Related Lexical (In)Visibility In Asian Englishes: A Corpus-Based Study Using The International Corpus Of English (Ice), Jess V. Mendoza, April N. Salvador, Teri An Joy G. Magpale

Journal of English and Applied Linguistics

This study examines the visibility and invisibility of sexuality-related terms in four Asian Englishes using data from the International Corpus of English (ICE). Drawing on Wilkinson’s (2022) sexuality-related lexical set and informed by scholarship on heteronormativity, the study analyzes the proportional visibility of 19 target lexemes across Englishes in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, and India. The findings show that only a small subset of terms (gay, lesbian, same sex, sexual preference, bisexual, and sexual orientation) appear in the corpora, and even these occur at low frequencies. Among these, gay emerges as the most recurrent. The remaining terms are not …
