Embedding sustainability competencies in language curricula
Purpose Universities worldwide are under increasing pressure to embed sustainability across curricula, yet language programs remain largely peripheral in institutional sustainability strategies. Existing frameworks – such as UNESCO’s Education for Sustainable Development guidelines and Wiek et al.’s model of key competencies – outline what students should know and do, but they offer limited direction on how psychological factors shape the uptake …
The Impact of Early Bilingualism on Word Retrieval Accuracy and Speed in Arabic–English Kindergarteners of Saudi Descent
This study investigates the impact of early bilingualism on word retrieval among Saudi kindergarteners, focusing on accuracy and speed in Arabic-English bilinguals compared to Arabic monolinguals. Eighty-four children participated: 42 bilinguals and 42 monolinguals. All completed the Arabic Expressive Vocabulary Test, while bilinguals also took the English Expressive Vocabulary Test. Receptive vocabulary was assessed with the Peabody Picture Voca…
[C] Phase in Arabic Syntax
The objective of this article is to explore the syntactic and semantic values of the complementizer? An ‘that’ in coordinate and subordinate subjunctive clauses in Arabic syntax. [C] is filled with this entity at spell-out but not at the phonetic form (PF). However, if it occurs overtly at this level, it causes the ungrammaticality of the sentence; thus, it must be omitted after checking all features at the phase. The methodology: the researchers…
Mind the Gaps
Conversational chatbots now rely on synthetic voices that mimic natural reductions such as elision, assimilation, catenation, flapping, and vowel centralization. These features enhance fluency but often blur meaning, particularly for second-language learners. This study presents a computational analysis—conducted without human participants—examining how varying degrees of reduction and speech rate in text-to-speech (TTS) output influence comprehe…
Phonetic Training and Orthographic Outcomes in L2 Learners
Phonological awareness and spelling accuracy are essential skills in second language (L2) learning, particularly in English, where sound–letter relationships are inconsistent. While high-variability phonetic training (HVPT) has been shown to improve learners’ ability to perceive L2 sounds, its influence on orthographic development remains unclear. This study explores how both HVPT and low-variability phonetic training (LVPT) shape learners’ audit…
The cognitive-affective nexus
Exploring Attitudes, Identity, and Linguistic Variation among Arabic Speakers
This study endeavors to delve into the diverse attitudes held by Arabic speakers towards dialects, language utilization, and pronunciation, while concurrently analyzing the impact of social identity on their language conduct. Adopting a qualitative research framework, the study employed open-ended questions to gather comprehensive data from a representative subset of proficient Arabic speakers. A broad spectrum of participants offered valuable in…
