Translanguaging in Higher Education
Translanguaging is gaining recognition as an effective teaching method in English-medium instruction (EMI), especially in higher education where English is a foreign language. However, few studies have explored the relationships among translanguaging, self-efficacy, and self-regulated learning (SRL)—factors important for student success. This study examined students’ attitudes toward translanguaging alongside their self-efficacy and SRL in an EMI…
On Female Subjectivity and Power
Research has shown that gender inequality persists at managerial levels, with an increasing number of women occupying middle and lower managerial positions while men dominate higher managerial roles. This phenomenon, often referred to as the “glass ceiling,” represents an invisible barrier characterized by gender biases that prevent women from attaining high-level positions within organizations. A notable gender gap remains in the professionaliza…
