AI literacy functions as cultural capital in stratified Egyptian schools
The rapid diffusion of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into schooling raises urgent questions about whether “AI literacy” functions as an equalizing resource or is absorbed into existing stratifications. Using Bourdieu’s concepts of field, capital, and habitus as an interpretive lens, this study investigates how AI-related practices are defined, acquired, policed, and converted into advantage across twelve K–12 schools (public, private, a…
Fostering environmental citizenship through carbon literacy
Recognising the urgent need to cultivate environmental citizenship to address the climate crisis, this paper investigates the pivotal role of carbon literacy in higher education. The study examines the relationship between students' carbon literacy—their integrated knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding climate change—and their engagement in environmental citizenship behaviours. The research was conducted at a large public university in Egypt,…
Self-system thinking and academic self-determination as correlates of science persistence and scientific reading fluency in Bilingual University Students
This study examined how Marzano’s self-system thinking (SST) and a four-dimension operationalization of academic self-determination (ASD) relate to persistence in learning natural sciences (PLNS) and scientific-text reading fluency (RFT) among bilingual (Arabic–English) university students in Egypt. Using a cross-sectional correlational design, data were collected from 302 undergraduates (Mage = 21.1, SD = 1.39; 249 females, 53 males). SST was me…
Technological self-efficacy, motivation, and contextual factors in advanced EFL e-learning
This mixed-methods study, informed by Social Cognitive Theory, investigates the interplay of technological self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and contextual factors in shaping e-learning strategy use and overall satisfaction among advanced EFL university students. A quantitative survey of 147 students provided broad insights, which were enriched by a qualitative case study of three learners offering detailed perspectives. Quantitative results r…
The digital age students
This study investigates the complex interplay between leadership skills, personal freedom, and digital responsibility among 1226 university students in Egypt, addressing a critical need to understand student-led online behavior. Employing validated questionnaires and a quantitative, cross-sectional design, we examined the predictive relationships among these constructs. Findings revealed significant positive correlations between leadership skills…
University teachers' perceptions of EFL students' engagement in Google Classroom
This mixed-methods study investigated EFL instructors' perceptions of student engagement and their own e-learning adoption concerning Google Classroom within an Egyptian university. Grounded in an extended Technology Acceptance Model (E-TAM), the research explored the interplay of instructor perceptions of student affective factors, their views on e-learning's utility and ease, their beliefs, and their overall disposition towards its use. Quantit…
Challenges in the preparation of EFL students in faculties of education in Egypt
This study investigated the challenges faced by English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher trainees enrolled in Track 1 (elementary education, grades 1–3) and Track 3 (intermediate/preparatory education, grades 7–12) programs within Egyptian faculties of education. Employing a mixed-methods descriptive design, data were collected through classroom observations, student surveys, and semi-structured interviews to explore the multifaceted challenge…
EFL idiom instruction
This study addresses the critical gap in EFL idiom instruction research concerning teachers' experiences and challenges, focusing specifically on the study context. Existing research predominantly evaluates teaching methods without adequately addressing practical classroom realities. This mixed-methods study, involving 300 teacher questionnaires (including both quantitative Likert scale and qualitative open-ended questions), 18 semi-structured in…
EFL College Programmes In Egypt And Saudi Arabia
The present study evaluated faculty and student perceptions of the challenges and benefits of intercultural and multicultural education in EFL college classrooms. Using the descriptive approach through survey, the study further investigates the benefits and barriers to inter/multicultural education in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, including content integration, acculturation pedagogy, and the incorporation of cultural knowledge in English as a Foreign …
Impediments to cultural teaching in EFL programmes at a Saudi University
Literature in a given language is the ultimate culmination of cultural expression. However, in Saudi universities, the literature of the English language, mainly British and American, is meagrely taught due to dogmatic religious considerations. This study reviews relevant research on culture and literature teaching in EFL, and further delves into an exploration of the perceptions and attitudes of faculty and students with regard to why literature…
