The Peril of Climate Change in Jenny Offill's Weather (2020)
- Authors: Sana' Mahmoud Jarrar
  Abstract: The paper demonstrates the peril of climate change as represented in Jenny Offill's Weather (2020). The paper sheds light on one of the environmental troubles that we are encountering at present – climate change. The paper highlights how the environment controls one's life. The analysis is conducted within the scope of ecocriticism. Demonstrating how the confabulation between literature and the environment might ardently modify society's behaviour to decrease the environmental problems that have outspread today is the main purpose of this study. The paper is significant as it pilots readers to ponder the practices of society in dealing with nature. The paper shows how Offill's Weather (2020) calls people to be responsible to other human beings and to the land. With a focus on the novel, this paper appraises three main themes that appear in Weather (2020). The themes concern the anthropocentric attitudes towards nature, the theme of determinism, and the repercussions of climate change on psychological well-being. The paper concludes that there are severe consequences of climate change if appropriate procedures are not taken. As an environmental novel, Offill's Weather (2020) delves into the ecological, political, economic, and technological grounds for climate change. The paper draws on many theories, including capitalism, existentialism, determinism, and climate anxiety. This paper opens new horizons for a forthcoming investigation in this regard.

Evaluating Self-Study Practices and Needs for Chinese Idioms among
Upper-Year Students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education
- Authors: Xuân Trần Khai; San Tu Hieu, Ngoc Nguyen Bao, Thu Nguyen Thi Anh, Ngan Le Thi Kim, Hiếu Lê Ngọc
  Abstract: This study aims to investigate the current status and requirements concerning self-studying Chinese idioms among third- and fourth-year students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. The research team conducted surveys among 50 third-year students (K47) and 50 fourth-year students (K46) to gather data. The survey questions were designed to explore students' self-assessment of their proficiency in using Chinese idioms, their retention and utilization levels of idioms, and their demand for an online self-study resource. The results indicate a prevailing lack of confidence among the majority of students in both cohorts regarding their ability to comprehend and apply Chinese idioms. Additionally, there is a noticeable desire for an online idiom database to facilitate their self-study endeavors. This study underscores the pressing need of students for effective resources and strategies to improve their Chinese idiom proficiency. The identification of these needs presents an opportunity for educational institutions and online learning platforms to develop tailored solutions that cater to students' requirements, thereby enhancing the efficacy of Chinese idiom learning. By shedding light on the current challenges and demands of students in self-studying Chinese idioms, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on language education and learning strategies. Furthermore, the study proposes practical solutions aimed at addressing these needs, thereby offering valuable insights for educators, curriculum developers, and educational technology providers.
