Reality shows have gained much prominence in the last few years, particularly among Indian audiences, with arguably unique and unscripted format, non-actors, a process of continuous monitoring and neoliberal values. Concept. Being a relatively new phenomenon, its content, representation and influence are yet to be explored in academia. This study seeks to analyse the issues of gender and identity in the Indian reality show Bigg Boss, expl…

Challenging the notion of fixed linguistic boundaries, the research addresses three main questions: (1) How do Saudi internet users engage in translanguaging? (2) How does translanguaging influence users’ identities? and (3) What do these practices reveal about their attitudes t…
Measuring the Impact of ChatGPT Feedback on Saudi Undergraduate EFL Learners' Writing Skills
As the conventional methods of instruction no longer seem to effectively conform to the taste of today's tech-savvy young generation, AI-powered tools are increasingly being incorporated in ESL/EFL classrooms for their efficiency, precise correction, and specific feedback. Despite multiple studies, the empowering role of ChatGPT in enhancing English writing skills, particularly in Saudi Arabia, remains largely unexplored. Therefore, this study em…
Imperial Ideology and Narrative Complicity in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness
This research examines how imperial and ideological power is stylistically recorded in Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness (2007) using a postcolonial stylistic framework. The study explores Conrad’s critique of empire while simultaneously revealing his inability to escape the confines of imperial ideology. The African characters are not portrayed as fully human, as they remain in the perpetual darkness. The narrative marginalizes Africans by…
Exploring the Impact of AI-Generated vs. Teacher-Developed Lesson Plans on EFL Instruction
The AI-powered tools are transforming instructional methods and teaching strategies across the world. As conventional methods of instruction no longer align with the preferences of today's tech-savvy young generation, AI-powered tools are increasingly incorporated to facilitate learning and instruction. While multiple studies have examined various aspects of AI integration, there is a lack of evidence on the comparative effectiveness of AI-genera…
Rooted Kinship and Storied Matter
This article analyzes Elif Shafak’s novel The Island of Missing Trees (2022) to articulate a stringent relational ontology and an ethics of coexistence that profoundly challenges anthropocentric and ethno-nationalist paradigms. Set against the backdrop of the Cypriot conflict and its diasporic aftermath, the novel foregrounds the interconnectedness between human identity, history, and the non-human world, primarily through the narrative voice of …

To obtain data from respondents, a questionnaire was used, which included self-designed items as well as items from existing studies. The data was assessed quantitatively using descriptive stat…
Incorporating Multiple Intelligences in Grammar Instruction
Conventional EFL Grammar instruction emphasizes rote memorization and rule-based learning, often disregarding students' cognitive strengths. However, recent studies revealed that language instructors could empower their students by customizing grammar lessons to their linguistic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences. Therefore, this study evaluates which linguistic, interpersonal, or intrapersonal intelligence-based grammar instruction …
Parallel Science as a Challenge for Philosophy of Science
The prestige of science in contact with parallel researchers loses its value, and the only values which remain are the obtained title and power. Parallel researchers do not care about spreading knowledge, seeking out the truth, or serving the scientific community. Their motive for action is very simple – keep the power and keep the submissives close. This type of “scholar” despite having an academic title is often market by the lack of any langua…
Higher Secondary Students' Performance in Math, English, and Other Science Subjects in Pre-Covid 19 and During Covid 19 Pandemic
The current study compared the achievements of higher secondary level students before and during the COVID 19 pandemic in five subjects-English, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. This study was conducted on higher secondary level students from Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), Assam, India. Dichotomous variables like rural and urban, tribal and non-tribal are considered for sample collection. A stratified random sampling technique is…
“Where Everything Starts Unraveling
V.S. Naipaul is one of the widely read postcolonial writers. He was born in Trinidad in 1932, had roots in India, migrated to England for higher studies and took British citizenship. He died as a British citizen in 2018. His writings distinguish themselves in having a wider coverage of the postcolonial world, like the trajectory of his life, and accordingly larger experience with the problems of this world. In the same line, he has a world reader…
Assessing the Efficacy of Artificial Intelligence-Enabled EFL Learning and Teaching in Saudi Arabia
This study attempts to investigate Saudi EFL learners’ perceptions, perspectives, and the prospects for AI-enabled learning and teaching in higher education in Saudi Arabia. As the study deals with how certain independent variables (levels of study, gender, and employment profile of learners’ parents) shape the dependent variables (perceptions, perspectives, and prospects), a quantitative approach (descriptive quantitative design) was selected, a…

Utilizing process drama in education
Language pedagogy currently remains an evolving field for teachers, scholars, and researchers as the world is advancing towards AI and other technologies, but accordingly it still poses difficulties and problems of authenticity and suitability.

The strategies and methodol…
A Diagnostic Study on English Spelling Errors Among the Elementary School Children in India
Learning the four skills of the English language is a requirement for pupils to utilize the language effectively, given the importance of learning it for both school and profession. Spelling – an important part of writing skill – is considered to be fundamental for written texts. The real meaning of a piece of writing can be changed by spelling mistakes, making it more challenging to understand. In India, teaching spelling is frequently overlooke…
Writing Is Not “Anti-African”
Many critics have harshly criticized V.S. Naipaul's works, both fiction and trip memoirs on the postcolonial sociocultural milieu of Africa, for being racially objectionable. The indictment apparently has a rationale too in the sense that his writings- In a Free State (1971), A Band in the River (1979) and Masque of Africa for instance- outright seem to be intestinal butchery of the African life, past and present, without any sense of mercy. Howe…
