Exploring the Impact of AI Tools on the Development of Writing Skills Among Students
type: item
description: This article analyzes the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) tools on the development of students’ writing skills in modern educational settings. The study focuses on key aspects such as grammar accuracy, lexical diversity, coherence, and critical thinking. A mixed-methods approach was applied, including surveys, text analysis, and a review of existing literature. The findings show that AI tools significantly improve writing performance by providing instant feedback, correcting errors, and offering vocabulary suggestions. They also help reduce learners’ anxiety and support idea generation. However, excessive reliance on AI may negatively affect students’ independence, creativity, and critical thinking abilities. The study concludes that AI can be an effective support tool in writing development if used responsibly. A balanced approach is essential to ensure that AI enhances learning without replacing students’ own cognitive efforts.

Social Factors in Learning The Korean Language: An Analysis of Uzbek Learners
type: item
description: This study explores the role of social factors in learning the Korean language, focusing particularly on Uzbek learners. The rapid global expansion of Korean culture in recent years, often referred to as the 'Korean Wave' or 'Hallyu', has significantly increased international interest in the language. The growing popularity of Korean dramas, music, films and digital media has created new motivations for language learning among young people in Uzbekistan. Against this backdrop, the present study aims to identify and analyse the extent to which social factors influence the effectiveness and motivation of Korean language learning. The study focuses on several key social determinants, including peer influence, family support, the educational environment, exposure to Korean popular culture and access to social media platforms. These factors are examined as important external variables that shape learners' attitudes, engagement and continuity in language study. The findings reveal that the social environment plays a crucial role in fostering positive motivation and sustained interest in the Korean language. Notably, the influence of Korean popular culture and online communities was identified as a significant driver of learners' enthusiasm and commitment. Furthermore, the educational context, including teacher support, institutional resources and collaborative classroom interaction, was identified as a significant contributor to successful language acquisition. The results suggest that language learning is not solely a cognitive, individual process, but is also strongly embedded within broader social and cultural contexts. This study advances our understanding of the sociolinguistic aspects of foreign language learning and offers practical insights for enhancing Korean language education among Uzbek learners.

Re-Aligning Today’s Curriculum to AI-Appreciating Education in the 21st Century
type: item
description: The most recent illustration of the substantial shift in educational learning objectives is one of the Sustainable Development Goals, which places an emphasis on instruction for international citizenship and environmentally conscious growth. The shift was born out of the understanding that educational systems need to provide students with decisive thinking, communication, solving problem and teamwork potential abilities. Curriculum reform and education of the 21st century places a strong emphasis on these, which have been bolstered by global conversations about changing societal and employment demands. This paper first examines the shift at the national, regional, and global levels. While focusing primarily on the issue of assessment, the study argues that any meaningful change in educational philosophy must ensure coherence across the domains of curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment. This paper outlined several barriers that keep artificial intelligence (AI) from being successfully implemented in full into research, teaching, and learning, despite the fact that AI has the prospective to completely change the educational system. This paper also identified some key methods for including AI proficiencies into the curriculum and concludes that the rapid changes in the global education landscape brought about by technological advancements, has made it imperative that current curricula be realigned toward education that appreciates artificial intelligence, thus the paper underlines the urgent need for curriculum reform that integrates AI capabilities, develops teacher capacity, and enhances technology infrastructure in order to get students ready for the rigors of today's AI-driven global economy.

Method VS. Methodology in Linguistic Research: A Conceptual Analysis
type: item
description: The distinction between method and methodology remains a persistent source of conceptual ambiguity in linguistic research, often leading to inconsistencies in the design and interpretation of studies. This article offers a systematic conceptual analysis aimed at clarifying the relationship between these two fundamental notions. Drawing on contemporary linguistic theory and interdisciplinary methodological discourse, the paper argues that method should be understood as a set of procedural tools employed in data collection and analysis, whereas methodology represents a broader framework that encompasses theoretical assumptions, epistemological orientations, and the rationale behind the selection of specific methods. The study demonstrates that the conflation of these terms not only weakens the internal coherence of linguistic inquiry but also limits the interpretative depth of research findings. Particular attention is paid to the role of methodological paradigms in shaping research outcomes across different branches of linguistics, including structural, cognitive, and corpus-based approaches. The analysis highlights that methodological awareness is essential for ensuring scientific rigor, especially in the context of increasingly complex and data-driven linguistic studies. The paper concludes that a clear conceptual differentiation between method and methodology is a prerequisite for advancing both theoretical and applied linguistic research

Project Supplemental Reading Material with Audio and Various Activities in Enhancing Reading Skills (Savers): A Reading Intervention for Struggling Readers
type: item
description: Project SAVERS (Supplemental reading material with Audio and Various activities in Enhancing Reading Skills) is a reading intervention designed for non-readers and struggling readers for 12-week monitoring of the learners reading level via google meet. This study aimed to determine the effects of Project SAVERS on Grade two struggling learners of Southville 5A Elementary School for the SY 2021-2022. A descriptive design was conducted in determining the effects of project SAVERS for the Grade Two learners. The thirty Grade Two non-readers and struggling readers were chosen purposively under Modular Distance learning (MDL). The instrument used to get the answer in this study is the printed reading material. All the data were summarized in tabular form and subjected to statistical analysis using the frequency and percentage distribution and weighted mean. The findings of the study showed that the researcher proved that project SAVERS was effective to improve the word recognition of the learners and their reading comprehension. There was an increase of 44% during the pretest and post-test after 12 weeks of reading monitoring. There was also a big improvement on the performance of the pupils in English Quarter 3 and 4 in their Learning module outputs. Therefore, project SAVERS was effective in reading remediation to improve pupils’ performance. The more one has practiced, the more likely is one to comprehend what one has reading. The study recommends that teachers could use project SAVERS as a reading intervention. Teachers and researchers could use this method as a basis for future studies for more insights on instruction that use repetition of words and similar studies may be conducted to wider scope using different population in diverse schools for better generalizability of the strategy. For future research involving parent involvement, it would be beneficial to find out to what extent can parents contribute to adapting project SAVERS in teaching their children at ho…

type: item
description: The arrest was a certainty, not a mere possibility, demonstrating the clear effectiveness of Total Quality Management (TQM) on the dimensions of Productivity (PR), which consist of Resources (RE), Commitment (CO), and Product (PR). Most previous studies, which pointed to the same problem, were reviewed. The number of questionnaires distributed to employees at Mall of Iraq/Baghdad was 240, yet 12 were lost, leaving a net positive result of 228. We should also consider using SPSS as a statistical tool for testing the hypotheses (3). Our research has been highly successful compared to previous studies. We are working to encourage organizations to adopt the findings of our research and disregard the ideas presented in earlier studies, as those previous studies have significant gaps. Our study, however, has addressed these gaps. Therefore, the next phase begins, focusing on encouraging investment in malls based on our findings. This is not mere speculation; it is now evident to observers and analysts who are closely following our research and its implications for both readers and implementers.

The Search for Freedom, Identity and Human Dignity in Solomon Northup’s “12 Years a Slave”
type: item
description: This article argues that 12 Years a Slave (1853) frames freedom, identity, and human dignity not as abstract ideals but as fragile social relations continually produced—and violently interrupted—through law, language, labor regimes, and embodied vulnerability. Beginning as a free citizen and becoming enslaved through kidnapping, Northup narrates a “catastrophic fall” that unsettles the genre’s familiar teleology from bondage to self-making freedom, and reorients reader attention toward the institutional mechanisms that convert persons into “property.” Close readings of the text’s key scenes—forced renaming (“Platt”), the slave-pen beside national symbols of liberty, the near-lynching episode, and the violin as both survival technology and threatened selfhood—show how dignity persists as practiced moral perception: refusing the lie of enslavement, remembering kinship, and sustaining humane judgment amid terror. The article situates Northup within antebellum slave-narrative conventions (authenticating paratexts, abolitionist readership, and documentary claims), while emphasizing the narrative’s distinctive realism, ironic address, and evidentiary apparatus (editor’s preface and appended legal materials). Finally, it outlines ethical implications for reading and teaching violence testimony: how to honor witness without turning suffering into spectacle.

The Impact of Autonomous Learning Strategies on Language Development
type: item
description: This study examines how autonomous learning strategies affect the language development of Uzbek university students. In an experimental design, one group of first-year students received training and support in self-directed learning techniques while a control group followed traditional instruction. Language proficiency was measured before and after a semester-long intervention. The results indicate that students who engaged in autonomous learning activities showed significantly greater improvements in English proficiency than those in the teacher-directed control group. These findings suggest that fostering learner autonomy – through goal-setting, strategy training, and self-reflection – can substantially enhance language skill development. The study contributes real data from Uzbekistan’s context, addressing a gap in the literature, and supports educational reforms emphasizing student-centered and independent learning. Recommendations are offered for integrating autonomous learning strategies into language curricula to improve outcomes and promote lifelong learning skills. All data presented are authentic and reliable, with references provided for context and comparison.

Echoes of Empire: Postcolonial Memory in Contemporary British Fiction
type: item
description: This contemporary British fiction revisits empire through the lens of postcolonial memory. Focusing on selected novels by writers shaped by migration, diaspora, and multicultural Britain, it explores how literary narratives recover silenced histories of colonialism and reveal their lingering effects in the present. The memory in these texts is neither private nor nostalgic; rather, it is political, contested, and embedded in questions of race, belonging, displacement, and national identity. By tracing fractured family histories, haunted landscapes, and intergenerational trauma, contemporary British fiction exposes the uneven afterlives of empire within everyday life. These novels challenge official versions of British history by foregrounding marginalized voices and alternative archives of remembrance. In doing so, they transform fiction into a critical site where personal and collective memory intersect, enabling a rethinking of Britishness in a postcolonial context and showing how the imperial past continues to shape cultural and social realities today.

Developing and Validating a Perception Towards Communicative English Scale for Undergraduate Students
type: item
description: The measurement of students' perceptions towards communicative English is essential for understanding language acquisition barriers and designing effective pedagogical interventions. This article presents the development and validation of a comprehensive Perception towards Communicative English (PCE) Scale for undergraduate students in West Bengal, India. The scale was constructed through a multi-stage process involving extensive literature review, expert validation, and statistical testing. Initially, 60 items across 11 dimensions—including attitude, context, skill enhancement, exposure, scholastic competence, self-confidence, employability, global competence, social support and pressure, socio-cultural factors, and language anxiety—were developed. Content validity was established through expert evaluation using Kappa statistics (κ > 0.75), indicating substantial inter-rater agreement. The scale was administered to 639 undergraduate students from 16 colleges across four districts of West Bengal. Reliability analysis yielded a Cronbach's alpha of 0.887, demonstrating good internal consistency. Split-half reliability showed a correlation of 0.776 between halves, with a Spearman-Brown coefficient of 0.778. Factor analysis using principal component extraction with varimax rotation revealed a four-factor structure explaining 58.855% of total variance. The final 44-item scale comprises four dimensions: Cognitive Perception (17 items, α=0.759), Affective Perception (13 items, α=0.752), Behavioural Perception (9 items, α=0.834), and Confidence in English Communication (5 items, α=0.834). The validated PCE Scale offers researchers and educators a reliable instrument for assessing undergraduate students' perceptions towards communicative English in the Indian context, with implications for curriculum development and language policy formulation.

Feminist Voices in Urdu Literature: Representation and Resistance – A Study of Selected Writings of Ismat Chughtai
type: item
description: Urdu literature has long been a site of cultural expression, yet its feminist dimensions gained prominence with the emergence of bold women writers who challenged patriarchal norms. Among them, Ismat Chughtai occupies a pivotal position as a pioneering voice of resistance. This paper examines the representation of women and the modes of resistance in selected writings of Ismat Chughtai, focusing on her short stories such as Lihaaf, Gainda, and The Homemaker. Through a qualitative and analytical approach, the study explores how Chughtai redefines female subjectivity, interrogates domestic oppression, and addresses taboo subjects such as sexuality and gender inequality. The findings suggest that Chughtai’s works not only expose the hypocrisies of patriarchal society but also create a space for marginalized voices, thereby contributing significantly to feminist discourse in Urdu literature.

Stylistic Features of Humor in English Satirical Texts: a Study of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels
type: item
description: Humor, as a literary device, serves multiple functions in English literature, ranging from entertainment to social critique. Satire, in particular, relies on humor to expose human follies, societal vices, and political corruption, often combining wit, irony, and exaggeration. This study examines the stylistic features of humor in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, a seminal work of English satire, emphasizing how linguistic choices, narrative techniques, and rhetorical strategies construct humor and convey social commentary. By analyzing lexical selection, syntactic structures, figurative language, and pragmatic devices, the paper identifies key stylistic mechanisms through which humor is produced and perceived. Furthermore, it explores how Swift’s humor engages readers cognitively and affectively, fostering reflection on human nature, governance, and cultural practices. The study underscores the interplay between linguistic artistry and socio-political critique, highlighting the enduring significance of satire as both an aesthetic and ethical literary tool.

Theory of the Formation of Universal Learning Activities in Primary School Pupils
type: item
description: This article is dedicated to the issue of the formation of universal learning activities (ULA). The article presents a theory for the formation and assessment of universal learning activities, in which learning activity is viewed as a complex, multi-level, hierarchically structured system. This system consists of interconnected and mutually dependent components of learning activity, which are enriched with all components in a junior school student under conditions of humanistic communication. The article also sheds light on how the generalization of methods for implementing separate systems of learning activities, inherent in the integral learning system, occurs, and how this process ensures the capacity for learning.

The Transformation of English and Uzbek Anthroponyms in the Context of Globalization
type: item
description: The research investigates how English and Uzbek anthroponymic systems undergo changes because of globalization. The study demonstrates that globalization results in two different yet simultaneous changes which affect naming practices through increased cross-cultural name adoption and name form changes and new reasons for choosing names. The research shows that both languages have developed modern name systems but their name conventions still show the cultural heritage which comes from their historical and linguistic backgrounds.

Reasons for Borrowing in The Modern Russian Language
type: item
description: This research provides a sociolinguistic and etymological analysis of the role and motivations behind lexical borrowings in contemporary Russian, examining both internal and external factors that influence the borrowing process. Based on current linguistic evidence, the study identifies intensified information flows, the global significance of the World Wide Web, and the expansion of interstate political and cultural relations as primary drivers for the influx of foreign terminology. It is observed that the integration of English loanwords into the Russian system has greatly accelerated in recent years, serving as a vital mechanism for introducing new concepts and specialized terms where no native equivalent exists. Findings indicate that historical factors such as trade, travel, and international cooperation continue to facilitate this lexical exchange, while the adaptation of these units reflects the dynamic nature of the modern Russian linguistic environment. Furthermore, the study explores how the excessive use of foreign words is met with varying societal attitudes, highlighting a shift toward a globalized linguistic norm driven by the demands of the modern information space. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of language development as an important way of evolving the modern Russian lexicon in response to technological and sociocultural changes.
