This study investigates teacher readiness for GenAI adoption using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a theoretical framework, focusing on the constructs of attitude, perceived behavioural control, and subjective norms. Positioned wi…
Challenges and constraints in the design of an ESP course in Cambodia
Global economic exchange and trade have led to the expansion of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses in many Asian higher education institutions. A similar demand for ESP course design is observed in the Cambodian higher education context, mainly triggered by the ASEAN economic integration in 2015, which introduced English as the working language of the ASEAN member countries. Despite the development of ESP courses in the Asian region, res…

The text…

Arabizi use, however, has been increasing, especially in Saudi Arabia, a highly conservative and religious society. To addres…

Affiliating Through Agreements
In the field of antenatal care, there is limited research studying communication between midwives and pregnant women in authentic consultations. This paper addresses this research gap. Based on transcripts of 16 antenatal consultations from a private obstetric practice, we examine agreements as examples of affiliation in the consultations. Using conversation analysis, we discuss ways that agreement is accomplished in this institutional setting. W…

The Play of Identities in Cypriot-Australian Family Storytelling
This article adopts a microanalytic approach to examine storytelling as a co-construction by family members in a Cypriot-Australian family. Previous studies on family storytelling have focused on the various roles of family members in storytelling with a means of studying family socialization (Miller et al., 1990; Ochs & Taylor, 1992; Blum-Kulka, 1997). These studies used critical discourse analysis, sociocultural theories, performance and pragma…
