This study investigates how faculty self-efficacy and teaching practices developed within a 36-h technology-mediated professional development program framed by the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. The program systematically integrated technologies across CoI dimensions: AI applications enhanced teaching presence through improved pedagogical design and instructional language use, while ICT platforms strengthened social presence via participant engagement and collaboration, together supporting cognitive presence through participants' reflection processes. Using mixed methods, including surveys, microteaching analyses, and reflective accounts, data were collected from 297 faculty members across four disciplines participating in Taiwan's nationwide EMI initiative. Pre- and post-program comparisons indicated notable gains in faculty self-efficacy, with over 80 % reporting increased EMI competence. Specifically, technology integration emerged as a key mediator of self-efficacy development, with qualitative analyses of participants' microteaching and reflections further reveal distinct patterns of technology use, highlighting an increased awareness and strategic use of various tools. AI tools were primarily used to support EMI content preparation and language enhancement, while ICT tools facilitated student engagement and interaction, demonstrating a shift toward student-centered teaching approaches. This study provides insights into how technology functions as both catalyst and scaffold in EMI self-efficacy development, offering evidence-based considerations for institutions seeking to design effective technology-mediated professional development programs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48185,"journal":{"name":"System","volume":"133 ","pages":"Article 103727"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144178612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The knowledge and online processing of the L3 words were measured by a test inspired by the Vocabulary Knowledge Scale and a lexical decision task (LDT), respectively. The results revealed that L1–L2–L3 cognates were known better than L2–L3 cognates, but L2–L3 cognates did not differ from non-cognates. Processing advantage was observed only for low-frequency triple cognates. Moreover, cognitive aptitudes predicted the speed of responding to the keywords in the LDT.

While Bumble markets women’s empowerment through its “first-move” feature, this research investigates how the platform’s 24-hour messaging requirement creates temporal constraints that potentially undermine its stated feminist goals. By analyzing how these time-based features influence user behavior and create additional forms of labor for women—communicative, relational, and postdigital—this study reveals tensions between Bumble’s empowerment claims and its disciplinary mechanisms. The research combines multimodal critical discourse analysis and ethnographic approaches to examine how Bumble’s marketing discourses and interface design construct and reinforce particular notions of gender empowerment while simultaneously subjecting users to new forms of control. This paper contributes to our understanding of how dating platforms serve as sites of engagement where gender, platform design, and social practices converge to normalize certain behaviors within tightly controlled temporal and interactive parameters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 100897"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their production was compared with that of South Korean (SK) speakers. SK speakers and NK refugee speakers (<i>N</i> = 22 each) completed three tasks designed to elicit careful and conversational speech: reading aloud lists of one-syllable words and short phrases and participating in a sociolinguistic interview. The potential acoustic cues voice onset time (VOT), F0, and H1-H2 were measured and analyzed for 14,478 stops. Results indicated that in conversational speech (interview), SK speakers neutralized VOT between lenis and aspirated and used F0 robustly to differentiate the two categories, while distinguishing the long VOT for lenis and aspirated from the short VOT for fortis stops. In careful speech (reading one-syllable words), SK speakers differentiated all three categories by VOT. In contrast, NK speakers distinguished all three categories by VOT in all tasks, except for neutralizing the contrast for fortis and lenis in phrase reading. Furthermore, F0 was not used as robustly by NK as by SK speakers. We also examined the effects of age of arrival (AoA) and length of residence (LoR) on NK speakers' SDA. Our results indicated that the longer the NK refugees lived in SK, the more they could produce more SK-like stops. The results suggest that NK stop contrasts are likely distinguished by VOT, and these refugee speakers are in the process of acquiring SK stop patterns.</p>","PeriodicalId":51255,"journal":{"name":"Language and Speech","volume":" ","pages":"238309251334102"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144182715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following a pretest-posttest-delayed posttest design, 97 learners of English studying at a high school in the United Arab Emirates were assigned to comics, playscript, and control groups through cluster randomization. The intervention consisted of task-based instruction. The comics group carried out the tasks using comics and the playscript group using the scripted version of the comics. The control group attended regular English classes and did not complete the tasks designed for the study. Participants’ receptive vocabulary knowledge was measured using form recognition tests, and their productive vocabulary knowledge was measured using meaning recall tests. The results from the linear mixed-effects analyses showed that both the comics and the playscript groups had significant gains on the posttest and delayed posttest, whereas the control group did not show any gains. Within this pattern, the comics condition afforded a modest advantage in helping participants maintain receptive vocabulary gains over time and achieve short-term improvements in productive vocabulary. These results suggest that the advantages of multimodal input over unimodal input may be mediated by task-based instruction. Beyond these findings, this paper serves as an account of a mutually beneficial teacher-researcher partnership and highlights the importance of such collaborative research in English language teaching.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48185,"journal":{"name":"System","volume":"133 ","pages":"Article 103722"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144166961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
