Abstract

This study explores the influence of mental health on the instructional approaches employed by higher education English lecturers in the Kurdish region. The primary objective of this study is to find effective techniques that may be implemented to enhance the psychological well-being of these teachers. The qualitative method was used by conducting semi-structured interviews with 5 lecturers at the National Institute of Technology in Kurdistan. The selection of these individuals was crucial in order to get critical insights and perspectives. The results indicate that there is a positive relationship between more significant levels of well-being and instructional practices, resulting in enhanced levels of participation, inspiration, and pleasure. The fundamental qualities that are emphasized are autonomy in teaching, competency, and effectiveness, as well as healthy student interactions. The study findings indicate that using several tactics, such as autonomy assistance, building skills, interaction, acknowledgment and feedback, and a healthy balance between work and life, is a means to enhance the overall well-being of higher education English lecturers. This study is based on a literature review on the topic of teacher well-being, offering valuable insights that may inform pedagogical administrators, staff members, and instructional programs in their efforts to cultivate a conducive atmosphere for professional development and the delivery of successful English language teaching.

Abstract

In the field of empirical pragmatics, a significant amount of research is focused on testing empirical hypotheses derived from the study of linguistic and intellectual pragmatics. Most of this study is centered on analyzing the components of conveyed meaning that Information is "inferred" rather than grasped via linguistic "coding" processes. After solely linguistic meanings have been accessed or computed, pragmatic meanings are said to manifest themselves following this approach.  The purpose of the present study is to dramatically broaden the applicability of exploratory pragmatic research by calling for a much greater emphasis on the complete pragmatics of language use. People's capacity to develop and interpret language in context and real-time is hindered when pragmatic considerations are always present. The field of experimental pragmatics has to pay more attention to the particulars of practical experience. This may be accomplished by taking a more in-depth look at the participants of our research, the precise tasks used to evaluate understanding, and the complex meanings that people interpret in various circumstances. The theoretical analysis of the different physiological, linguistic, and environmental has been analyzed that go into every circumstance of meaning construction is required to fully understand the countless of specifics that make up human pragmatics.

Abstract

The study aims to focus on linguistics as it relates to the instruction of the English language will be the focus of this particular piece of writing. It will discuss the role of linguistics in educating those still working on their English language skills. The literature review, often called library research, is the foundation for data analysis. The comparison technique and the descriptive approach are used throughout the data collection process. Due to the discovery, one can realize that linguistics pays attention to the part it plays in the lecture hall. The definitions of applied linguistics, as well as a development in that definition and the return of the essential subject matter to education and teaching, are presented in this article to assess language instruction through the lens of applied linguistic theory. The most recent results from research in applied linguistics conducted on language instruction are presented here. Teaching the English language is used as an example to integrate it with practical language teaching theory, allowing for the creation of relevant teaching experiments. According to the results, applied linguistic teaching theory may raise the students' desire for learning, which may boost the efficiency with which they acquire a second language. The findings show that the theory of applied linguistics should be built on language teaching, that the method of language teaching should be modified, and that improvements should be made to the information transferred to students.

Abstract

The main duty of an educator is to facilitate the process of education. However, it is vital to acknowledge that teachers are involved in several activities and assume various tasks. In addition to disseminating essential information to their students, educators are also tasked with the duty of effectively managing a varied range of student characteristics and behaviors. Therefore, it is a matter of worry when educators exhibit a deficiency in the requisite abilities to adequately facilitate student learning and possess inadequate understanding in the domain of psychological pedagogy. Acquiring information and understanding of the fundamental variables that contribute to the variability in students' behavior is an essential strategy for educators to effectively provide assistance and instruction to their students. This article next highlights significant factors that contribute to the fundamental causes of pupils' behavioral patterns. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for educators to have a thorough comprehension of the fundamental factors contributing to students' conduct, with the aim of augmenting their efficacy in the field of instruction.

Abstract

In academic settings, the relationship between writing practices and identity formation is a cornerstone of scholarly inquiry. As individuals engage in writing, they convey information and construct and negotiate their identities within disciplinary, cultural, and linguistic frameworks. This review paper provides a comprehensive synthesis of existing scholarship on the intricate relationship between writing practices and identity formation in academic contexts. Drawing upon a systematic analysis of 30 studies, the paper illuminates the complex interplay between language, culture, and academic discourse in shaping authorial identities. Key themes explored include conceptualizing writing as an act of identity construction, the challenges faced by distinct student populations in establishing authorial voices, disciplinary variations in identity formation, and pedagogical implications for academic writing instruction. The review integrates diverse theoretical frameworks, such as sociocultural perspectives, academic literacy approaches, and integrationist models, offering a nuanced understanding of the mechanisms underlying identity construction through writing. Furthermore, this review also identifies gaps and potential avenues for future research, including the need for longitudinal studies, the exploration of individual agency in identity formation, and the examination of emerging technologies and interdisciplinary collaborations. Ultimately, this synthesis adds to ongoing conversations about how writing practices affect identity formation. It does this by informing teaching methods and institutional policies that support positive identity development among diverse academic communities.

Abstract

Researchers often use a mixture of qualitative and quantitative approaches drawn from various fields. It is possible to record or quantify quantitative data. Qualitative data are descriptive, linguistically related, and rely on interpretation. Quantitative data provides information such as how many, how much, or how often something occurs. On the other hand, qualitative data could assist us in comprehending the processes, causes, and occurrences of activities. Each approach has many advantages as well as some disadvantages. This research aims to evaluate the various language testing and assessment approaches and compare and contrast their benefits and drawbacks. These advantages included the opportunity to learn more about the development, administration, and interpretation of assessments and tests and the capability to research test-takers behavior, perceptions, attitudes, and understanding. The study's findings showed that the amount of time required gathering data using quantitative research techniques is much less than the amount of time required collecting data using qualitative research methods. Quantitative research methods, on the other hand, have several drawbacks, such as the difficulty of explicating what a researcher means when using a specific word and the fact that these methods can only provide an overarching comprehension of the topic being studied
