Ecological thoughts are conveyed from the perspective of ecocriticism in many of his works at that time. The praise of exuberant natural life is the theme of Lawrence’s poetry collection Bird, Beast, and Flower. Snake is one of the best poems in the collection. Lawrence’s poem Snake tells the story of a man’s encounter with a snake, in which the snake symbolizes all the instincts of man as a “bloody life” indistinguishable from an animal. Based on the poem of Snake, this paper tries to present the image of the snake in the poem and deeply explores the poet’s thinking about the nature of the snake. It explores the Western cultural tradition of the definition of snake to highlight Lawrence’s subversion of traditional moral values. By analyzing the contradictory image of snake, the contradictory situation of “me”, and the confession of “me”, this paper draws out the contradictions between man and nature, thought and reality, and explores the strong “ecological consciousness” and “resistance consciousness” in the poem, wishing to provide some inspiration for solving the ecological crisis and the spiritual crisis of people in the global industrial age.","PeriodicalId":294483,"journal":{"name":"Arts, Culture and Language","volume":"83 S16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141376845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper conducted an experiment on foreign language writing anxiety among Chinese high school students. This experiment was based on a survey questionnaire improved from the scale, and a questionnaire survey was conducted on 102 participants, identifying three factors that lead to writing anxiety: Conceptual &Exam Anxiety, Practice&Avoidance Anxiety, and Writing Habit Anxiety. Research has found that Chinese high school students generally experience foreign language (English) writing anxiety, with an average of moderate to high. There is a significant difference in the level of anxiety between the high and low-writing achievement groups in different types. There is a significant negative correlation between writing anxiety and academic performance. Through further research and discussion, it has been found that there are problems with the current teaching arrangement of high school English writing, mainly manifested in the lack of emphasis on writing, the inability of teachers to provide effective assistance to students, and the unreasonable arrangement of exam structures. These are all reasons that cause students to develop writing anxiety. This paper proposes corresponding solutions based on the identified problems.","PeriodicalId":294483,"journal":{"name":"Arts, Culture and Language","volume":"5 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141378693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers have found that the varied application of the pedagogical translation method in teaching translation is progressing. However, more work still needs to be done in the design of translation teaching. Therefore, the research topic of this paper is the application of pedagogical translation and translation teaching in second language acquisition. The research methodology of this paper is as follows: firstly, the literature is collected, and secondly, the literature findings are analyzed and applied. It is significant for improving students‘ language ability and comprehensive quality. Teachers should fully utilize pedagogical translation and design reasonable teaching activities to promote students‘ second language acquisition. In general, students‘ diversified use of various translation methods and multifaceted consideration of cultural background is of non-negligible significance in improving the quality of translation and promoting cross-cultural communication. Translation is the conversion between languages and the exchange of cultures and ideas. We should constantly strive to improve our translation skills, and that positively contributes to second language acquisition.","PeriodicalId":294483,"journal":{"name":"Arts, Culture and Language","volume":"198 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141376113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It profoundly exposes the oppression of women by patriarchal society while also embodying the feminist ideals of freedom and equality. This paper, within the theoretical framework of feminist translation, selects three representative Chinese translations of “A Rose for Emily” and conducts a comparative analysis from the perspectives of vocabulary choice, sentence style, and emotional expression. Employing the research method of textual analysis, the paper compares the translation versions by Yang Qishen, Zhang Helong, and Liu Yang, observing the extent to which the feminist nuances are conveyed in the translation process. It is found that the translators’ gender and comprehensive background do not necessarily determine their ability to handle feminist themes in the text. Rather, the transmission of feminist nuances in the original text depends more on each translator’s understanding of the text’s essence and translation capacity. This paper aims to provide new translation perspectives for translators through the comparative study of the three translations while offering Chinese readers a new view of the novel in Chinese.","PeriodicalId":294483,"journal":{"name":"Arts, Culture and Language","volume":"82 S357","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141377410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This analysis starkly contrasts the monolithic portrayal of mathematics as an unchanging, universally applicable discipline, instead proposing a vision of mathematics as a mosaic of valid yet diverse frameworks. By dissecting the contributions of innovative scholars such as Michèle Friend, Graham Priest, and Stewart Shapiro and comparing foundational concepts such as set theory with category theory, this paper illuminates the diverse perspectives and approaches that enrich the mathematical landscape. It demonstrates how a pluralistic perspective on mathematics enhances our understanding of the field and compels us to reevaluate our core assumptions about knowledge, truth, and the nature of mathematical inquiry. This paper explores the effects of embracing a pluralistic viewpoint across different areas, calling for a more inclusive, adaptable, and interdisciplinary approach to mathematics education and research. Acknowledging the value of a diversity of mathematical approaches and theories paves the way for a future in which mathematics continues to evolve as a complex and vibrant discipline, mirroring the intricacies of the world it aims to decipher. This investigation serves as a celebration of the human capacity for intellectual pursuit, emphasizing the immense possibilities that arise from fostering a culture of plurality in mathematics and beyond.","PeriodicalId":294483,"journal":{"name":"Arts, Culture and Language","volume":"3 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141380998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, Dream of the Red Chamber already harbors factors of modernity’s inception and growth. Starting from the narratological perspective of Dream of the Red Chamber, this paper takes root in the cultural context of China’s native culture. It explores the book’s manifestation of the initial pattern of Chinese narrative modernity and its significance to the literary history of the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the later generations through its transcendence of Chinese classical novels when comparing its difference with western narratology. Through the dimensions of Layout of Discursive Traps, Motive Power Component, and The Aesthetic Construction of Time, borrowing from indigenous narrative theories of China, it is discovered that at the birth of Dream of the Red Chamber, China’s indigenous narrative modernity had already emerged and continued to evolve and spread, which merged with Western modernity during the late Qing period, constructing a fusion of Chinese and Western literary discourse fields.","PeriodicalId":294483,"journal":{"name":"Arts, Culture and Language","volume":"2 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141379314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In such a context, people had attached greater importance to educational research. Long’s theory of the interaction hypothesis is one of these marvelous examples of that time. It also went through the stages of proposal, continuous improvement, and development and gave a clearer direction and structure to second language teaching. This paper discusses the content and significance of the Interaction Hypothesis theory, discusses the specific application of the current hypothesis in second language teaching, and explores the future development direction of the Interaction Hypothesis theory to obtain more teaching insights and experiences for English teaching in China. The significance and practicality of the Interaction Hypothesis to English teaching cannot be ignored. The interactive teaching model significantly enhances students’ interest and enthusiasm for learning, improves the traditional dull and serious classroom atmosphere, and optimizes inefficient learning outcomes. This paper also suggests English teachers promote students’ English learning through authentic and effective interactions in the English classroom.","PeriodicalId":294483,"journal":{"name":"Arts, Culture and Language","volume":"28 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141378914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
