The Role of Corrective Feedback in Second Language Acquisition within the
Saudi Educational Context
- Authors: Muteb Alzahrani
  Abstract: This paper is a review of previous research that examines the role of corrective feedback in second language acquisition, specifically in Saudi educational settings. It provides a theoretical background on the definition and types of corrective feedback, as well as different perspectives from researchers on whether or not it improves second language learners' linguistic input. The researchers investigate the problems caused by insufficient corrective feedback in various Saudi educational settings, indicating a lack of awareness and ineffective approaches taken by educators in addressing second language learners' errors. They also emphasize the significant value of corrective feedback in the Saudi context. Therefore, this review aims to provide essential information that should be considered by second language teachers and researchers. Additionally, it highlights potential pedagogical implications that should be addressed in the future to resolve certain challenges related to corrective feedback.

Writing based on the Bible: Rereading García Márquez's
Eréndira
- Authors: Zhou Xuan
  Abstract: La increíble y triste historia de la Cándida Eréndira y de su abuela desalmada (1972) is an important middle grade novel by Marquez, and the biblical metaphors contained in the text have been neglected by critics. By employing Frye’s biblical archetypal criticism, a comparative analysis of the novel and the Bible reveals that Márquez’s text is imbued with central imagery from the metaphorical paradise of the Garden of Eden and the demonic imagery of Sodom and Gomorrah that adheres to the biblical framework of sin-punishment-redemption, which is fundamental to its structure. From the perspectives of imagery, characterization, narrative structure, and theme, the Bible emerges as the primary symbolic source and foundation of the text. Thus, Eréndira can be viewed as an allegory that employs the Bible as a metaphorical model. This analysis reveals the deeper thematic concerns and narrative artistry in Márquez’s work, highlighting the complex interplay between sin and redemption.

Reconstructing the Past in 1920s Cinematic Representations
- Authors: Nawar BOUATTANE; Ilham EL MAJDOUBI
  Abstract: This study situates itself within the field of Cultural Studies, exploring the interplay of nostalgia and authenticity in cinematic representations of the 1920s, with a specific focus on Damien Chazelle's films Babylon (2022) and La La Land (2016). Drawing on Gilles Deleuze's concept of difference and Suzana Tosca's exploration of originality, this research investigates how Chazelle integrates inspiration from classic films, iconic figures, and historical events to create original works that evoke nostalgia without mere replication. This study analyzes how these inspirations are transformed into cinematic representations that blend historical accuracy with creative variation. While Chazelle's films authentically echo past styles, they simultaneously construct cultural narratives that resonate with contemporary audiences. The study employs a gender lens and a comparative approach that juxtaposes and contrasts Babylon with Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby (2013). It concludes that both films offer viewers a composite experience of nostalgia and innovation. This dual perspective enriches both historical and cinematic discourses, thereby deepening our understanding of the complexities of human nature and societal evolution.

Evaluating the Efficacy of Total Physical Response (TPR) in Video-Based
Vocabulary Instruction: A Case Study at Dokuz Eylul University, Türkiye
- Authors: Ratna Ratna; Hengki Hengki, Mutmainnah Muthmainnah
  Abstract: The goal of this study is to evaluate how the Total Physical Response Method (TPRM) is utilised to carry out the processes of teaching and learning vocabulary. In this examination, qualitative research was used as the methodology. The observation approach is by far the most common one utilised by researchers when it comes to data collection. The researcher accessed films on YouTube with the intention of studying and analysing the process of how vocabulary is taught and learned. Dokuz Eyluy University in Turkey supplied the research participants; all of them were either students or faculty members at the university majoring in English language studies or professionals in the field of teaching instructors of foreign languages. The findings of the research reveal that students find it easier to memorise new vocabulary when they acquire it using this strategy for the study of vocabulary. This is indicated by the fact that students found it simpler to memorise the new vocabulary. Students are able to learn vocabulary in a way that is both interesting and pleasurable with the help of this method, which incorporates both verbal and physical activity into the learning process.

From Awareness to Action: Fostering Inclusivity for Students with
Disabilities
- Authors: Yousra Lahmiyed; Najib Slimani, Khadija Anasse
  Abstract: This study aims to investigate the process of fostering inclusivity for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) within educational contexts, with a specific focus on understanding the efficacy of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS) programs. It draws from experiences gained through collaboration with professionals and parents at the Princesse Lalla Meryem Pour Enfants Autistes Institute in Tangier. Set within the dynamic landscape of Morocco's disability support and education sector, this research unfolds within the framework of the Princesse Lalla Meryem Pour Enfants Autistes Institute in which ABA and ABLLS programs are used extensively, complemented by individualized support provided by dedicated assistants for each student. Furthermore, cognitive behavioral therapy is integrated into the educational approach. The overarching goal of the organization is to equip children with ASD with the necessary skills to integrate successfully into mainstream educational institutions. By employing a participatory action research methodology, this study engages closely with professionals, parents, and autistic students. Qualitative interviews, observations, and collaborative reflections serve as key methods to understand the nuances and effectiveness of ABA, ABLLS, and cognitive behavioral therapy in fostering inclusivity. Initial findings highlight the pivotal role of individualized support and evidence-based interventions such as ABA, ABLLS, and cognitive behavioral therapy in promoting the inclusion of children with ASD. Insights gleaned from the experiences of both professionals and parents shed light on promising practices and areas for further enhancement in preparing autistic children for successful integration into mainstream educational institutions. This study enriches the existing literature by providing firsthand insights into the practical applications of ABA, ABLLS, and cognitive behavioral therapy within the context of an inclusive educational organization in Morocco. By bridging theory and practice along with incorporating diverse perspectives, the study aims to inform the development of more effective inclusive policies and practices, ultimately contributing to the successful integration of children with ASD into mainstream educational settings.

The Comparison of Rhetoric in Chinese and English Commercial
Advertisements
- Authors: Yuchan Lin
  Abstract: Nowadays, we are living in the information era with frequent commercial activities. As an effective way to spread information, we can see advertisements almost everywhere in our lives. The characteristics of advertising determine the regular use of rhetoric in both Chinese and English ads. However, the application of rhetoric in both Chinese and English promotion involves a similar discipline. This thesis intends to explore the effects of advertising on different rhetorical devices by analyzing three rhetorical devices, including the figure of speech, parody, and pun. Additionally, this thesis also compares the uniqueness and similarities of rhetorical devices used in English and Chinese advertising styles. By comparing how these devices are used in Chinese and English advertisements, marketers and businesses can understand the language nuances deeply to develop context-relevant advertisements.
