Humour Integrated Language Learning (Hill)
There has been a notable surge in the studies on humour in the language classroom in the past two or even three decades. This burgeoning literature seems to have already entered the threshold of a field of study. In this article, humour-integrated language learning (HILL) is put forth as an umbrella term for diverse attempts to employ pedagogical humour in language education. HILL principally refers to a diverse suite of methods, tools and techni…
Persian comedy whispers out loud
Humour beyond human
This article strives to open a window on ‘eco-humour’, an umbrella term for diverse forms of humour targeting ecological and environmental issues. It encourages readers to consider eco-humour as a valuable, pedagogical toolkit for environmental education and communication. To this aim, eco-humour is, first, put into perspective of humour scholarship. In particular, I discuss the critical and corrective potential of humour to address and possibly …

The project investigates HILL as an innovative approach to language education and humour literacy. Within the limits of this short article, HILL is initially conceptualised, and then, an outline of the project is provided. Then, I describe ongoing lines of the research, giving a snapshot of the preliminary resul…
When a Nation Breathes Through Humor
A proficiency‐based analysis of EFL learners' humorous language play
Besides having significant pedagogical functions, learner‐initiated humorous language play may shed light on learners' linguistic knowledge and development. Hence, through a mixed methods design, this study explored the humorous language play instigated by 86 Iranian EFL learners at elementary, intermediate and advanced level. The quantitative analysis of the learners' humorous interaction revealed several proficiency‐based variations (e.g., high…
A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Gender in Persian Verbal Humor
A rhetorical analysis of humor styles and techniques used in persian stand-up comedy
To the best of my knowledge, this is the first (rhetorical) investigation of Persian stand-up comedy. In the present research, a rhetorical approach is taken to examine humor styles and techniques used in seven stand-up performances. These performances were performed by two Iranian comedians, the finalists from a recent (and probably the first) Persian stand-up comedy contest in Iran. Initially, Asian stand-up comedy is briefly addressed. Then, P…
The Effect of Exposure Frequency on Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition
This study explored the effect of incidental vocabulary exposure on receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge, acquisition and retention among 90 Iranian EFL learners. The research focused on how exposure frequency or the number of encounters with the target words in reading passages affected different aspects of vocabulary knowledge such as receptive and productive knowledge of orthography, parts of speech, associations and meaning. In gener…
