Individual agency and sustainability initiatives in STEM careers and education
Individual agency—the capacity to make purposeful choices and enact change—plays an important role in advancing sustainability in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education and professional careers. However, a clear, consolidated understanding of how this agency is conceptualized, operationalized, and enacted across STEM fields is lacking. This scoping review systematically maps the existing literature to answer the questi…

CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and WordStat reveal that annual output surge…
Depression and Anxiety in the Saudi Population
Depression and anxiety are prominent contributors to the global disease burden, with significant health system implications particularly in underexamined contexts such as Saudi Arabia. While existing studies often target discrete subpopulations, few have synthesized national data to evaluate mental health prevalence alongside service utilization. This study addresses that gap by analyzing 4 national datasets-the 2024 National Health Survey, the 2…

Instructional strategies in multicultural classrooms in China
The number of international students is immensely increasing in China towards the internationalization of higher education. This tendency inspired the emergence of teaching in multicultural classrooms (MCs), which is challenged by the lack of innovative instructional strategies matching international students’ needs and preferences. This study reveals the experiences and challenges faced by doctoral and master’s students in China. The researchers…
Conceptualising, defining and providing special education in China
Conceptualising and defining special education determine what services will be provided for learners with special educational needs (SENs). The focus of our study was two questions: (1) how are people with SENs in China defined, conceptualised and perceived by stakeholders, and (2) how does society in China view special education? This was accomplished by conducting a qualitative study using in‐depth interviews with nine Chinese stakeholders, inc…
Expansion of special education and promotion of inclusive education in China
A key objective of inclusive education is to provide learners with special educational needs with an environment that fosters a sense of belonging. They lose the sense of belonging when they feel being separated from the rest of society. Segregation is, however, a logically necessary method and means of the pursuit of inclusion. The focus of this study was to uncover the experiences and views of Chinese stakeholders regarding the possible conflic…

Clinical Linguistics
Across the world, many infants, children, adults, and elderly people are reported with many types of disorders and disabilities that damage, delay, or impede typical language development and/or use. Speech-language pathologists and other relevant clinicians are responsible for diagnosing, assessing, and rehabilitating these conditions. In nearly all types of disorders or disabilities that affect language, clinical linguistics plays a significant …
Pragmatic Language Development
New-borns are capable of recognising and producing sounds as they become phonologically competent. Following this, infants develop a system for connecting these sounds, which helps them become increasingly lexically competent over time. Their knowledge of these words grows as they develop, using words to form phrases, turning them into sentences, and ultimately becoming syntactically competent. By making sense of these linguistic elements, these …

Pragmatics
New-born infants communicate from the first minute they come to life. This non-linguistic and non-verbal capacity to interact from the first day they come to life enables them to express their needs and evidence their typical development. This capacity to interact develops to include linguistic and non-linguistic use of verbal and non-verbal interaction, that is, pragmatics. Because pragmatics is heterogeneously structured of semiotic, cognitive,…

An Account of Teaching Strategies which Promote Student-Initiation
It has actually become a habit that I (teacher) am the one who talks a lot inside the classroom and you (student) are the one who talks a little and listens more inside the classroom. Needless to say, everyone’s method (strategy) is entirely different from everyone else strategy regarding teaching strategies. Yet, every learner’s ability of understanding is also entirely different from another learner’s ability of understanding. Thus, we need act…
