Critical pedagogy places a significant emphasis on dialogue due to its transformative potential within educational settings. This approach fosters critical thinking, self-reflection, and empowerment among students, encouraging them to engage deeply with the material and question underlying assumptions. While research in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts has delved into the application of critical dialogue, there has been a notable gap in understanding how teachers perceive and implement this approach in their classrooms. This study seeks to address this gap by collecting data through ethnographic interviews with 22 teachers over three months. Data analysis was then conducted using a constructivist grounded theory methodology. Results showed that for critical dialogic teaching to be effective, two essential conditions should be met: (1) the presence of a critical dialogical teacher who embodies characteristics such as openness, mediation, and the ability to create a supportive environment, and (2) the use of specific strategies, such as authentic tasks, group work, and technology, to foster engagement and diverse perspectives. These findings have significant implications for language education, highlighting the need for teacher training that supports the development of dialogical teaching practices, promotes inclusive classroom environments, and empowers students to engage critically with both language and content. The study also underscores the importance of addressing the cultural and contextual factors that influence how critical dialogue is perceived and implemented by teachers in EFL settings.

This is a systematic review of Translator Translation Styles from 2013 to 2023, based on 16 highly relevant articles, which are included after searching a total of 193 articles in three databases using specific keywords. This review aims to investigate the current trends and development of the four core research elements, namely, the research topics, research approaches/tools, research objects, and research trends of Translator Translation Styles. Corpus-based research and computing technology have become the core research trends in this field. By taking the translated texts as the research objects and using a variety of research approaches to analyze and compile statistics on a large number of texts, researchers can accurately identify and compare the different emphases of their respective studies on Translator Translation Styles. At present, it seems that the research on Translator Translation Styles has established a system framework. However, it still needs to be optimized and improved in some aspects (e.g., the research objects are too limited and lack innovation in types), and future research can further explore those aspects. The present paper ends with some suggestions and recommendations for future researchers in academic contexts.

With the emergence of new online technologies and computer-mediated language teaching, many recent studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of online peer assessment. The present mixed methods study examined the effect of online peer assessment on Iranian intermediate-level EFL students` writing accuracy. In the quantitative phase of the study, 28 EFL learners studying in an English institute were randomly assigned to two groups and were taught for 14 sessions. The experimental group attended online peer assessment on Wiki as a forum for out-of-classroom discussions regarding English writing, and the control group attended face-to-face peer assessment. To analyze the numerical data collected through a pretest and a posttest, an independent sample t-test was used to investigate the difference between the two group scores before and after the assessments. The results showed that the difference between the posttest means of the experimental group and the control group was significant. Moreover, the results of analyzing the qualitative data, gathered through focus-group interviews, also confirmed the quantitative results, revealing the positive opinions of the interviewees about the role of technology in language learning. Therefore, online peer assessment seems to have benefits that make it worthwhile despite all the difficulties and extra effort of introducing and teaching it to students. The findings may have implications for material designers, language teachers, and language learners.

La majorité des troubles mentaux trouvent leurs origines dans le contexte social et familial de l'enfance. Selon Karen Horney, psychologue néo-freudienne, un enfant privé d'amour, de sécurité, de confiance et d'affection développe une anxiété à l'âge adulte, entravant ainsi son épanouissement. Pour faire face à cette anxiété, il adopte l'un des trois types de personnalité : agressive ou conflictuelle, soumise ou complaisante, et détachée ou isolée. Ces individus se réfugient souvent dans un monde imaginaire qu'ils créent pour trouver la paix intérieure et pour apaiser leurs tourments, mais cette échappatoire engendre également d'autres problèmes psychologiques. Dans cet article, nous analysons le type de personnalité de Monsieur Songe, personnage du livre éponyme de Robert Pinget, en nous appuyant sur les théories de Karen Horney. Des exemples tirés de l'œuvre révèlent la dimension psychologique de ce personnage, contribuant ainsi à une meilleure compréhension de la richesse psychologique du Nouveau Roman, qui est toujours en débat.

This article analyzes complex words, morphologically and semantically, within the Perceptual approach introduced by Safavi (2020). The authors aim to examine the possibilities of word formation of complex words in Persian as their first objective. To achieve this goal, they examined 2850 complex words selected randomly from the Sokhan Dictionary (Anvari, 2004). Following the mentioned approach, word-formation patterns are determined based on whether the morphemes belong to closed or open classes. According to a predetermined agreement, A stands for closed class units and B stands for open class units. This study reveals 57 patterns of word formation, with ‘B + B’ appearing to be the most common among all the patterns examined. Next, the authors investigated how much closed-class units help Persian speakers interpret the semantic head of complex words examined. To reach this aim, 20 Persian speakers not having any knowledge of linguistics were given a questionnaire of 120 words made up of eight affixes selected by the authors and questioned about interpreting each word. Finally, data analysis related to the questionnaire revealed that the meaning interpretation of the words appeared to be significantly impacted by the morphemes belonging to the closed class.

Ce présent article a pour but de mettre en évidence l’importance de la poésie francophile de  Mohammad- Ali Eslâmi-e Nodouchane (1924-2022) à travers ses poèmes Le « Péché » et la « Source » étant le pivot de la nouveauté poétique en Iran. De plus, la traduction des Fleurs du Mal et du Spleen de Paris de Charles Baudelaire fut le motif du parcours littéraire de Nodouchane en France, car il considérait Baudelaire comme le maître de sa création artistique. En outre, la « mélancolie » et la « désillusion » sont deux termes essentiels pour trouver les origines de la poésie francophile où le poète persan s’enthousiasme pour le pessimisme et l’imagination de Baudelaire afin d’être un poète visionnaire vis-à-vis de la destinée humaine. En fait, la francophilie dans sa dimension poétique sera examinée par les différents critères dont la solitude et l’angoisse constituent la trame de l’apport littéraire de Nodouchane en Iran.

This case study examines the influence of students’ motivation on their EFL performance to identify motivational factors and as a result, it was created a proposal for increasing their motivation. The population selected was 126 first-semester students and 5 professors in charge of the EFL process at a private university in Colombia, Bogotá in the first and second semesters of 2023. Moreover, the methodology used was qualitative with a social constructivist worldview to research based on students' and professors’ perceptions. That way, the collected results show that most students’ extrinsic motivation causes their low EFL level when entering the program as students may be goal-oriented and short-term sustained, which can contribute to dropping out of the program. Therefore, it is recommended that professors take action to increase students’ motivation by teaching students relevant topics, exposing the benefits of learning EFL, encouraging them to be self-directed students, promoting a safe environment, making them use e-learning tools and using gamified assessment/activity tools so that students can improve their academic performance.

Despite research on preservice teacher practicums, few studies have examined these experiences through a complexity theory lens to capture the intricate, dynamic interplay of factors involved. Addressing this gap, this qualitative case study explored the multidimensional influences shaping the practicum experiences of three preservice English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Vietnam. Using an in-depth case study design with semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, the study analyzed the participants' lived experiences across diverse school environments through the lens of complexity theory principles. The findings revealed complex interactions of student factors, curricular demands, resource constraints, and contextual influences shaping the preservice teachers' dynamic, self-organizing learning trajectories as they adapted to emergent needs. Notably, the pivotal role of context profoundly influenced pedagogical decision-making. The study's insights underscore the importance of teacher education programs providing contextualized support and learning opportunities to nurture adaptable, reflective educators responsive to complexity. This research contributes a nuanced complexity theory perspective on the multifaceted nature of preservice EFL teacher learning.

Adverse Conditions in the Professional Lives of English Instructors: Recommendations to Ameliorate Teacher Resilience Abstract The present qualitative study strived to examine Iranian English instructors’ experiences of adverse conditions in their teaching environments. To yield this purpose, 30 novice language institute English instructors in Tabriz (Iran) were selected as the participants. To triangulate the data, we utilized interview and narrative data collection techniques. Adapting inductive, bottom-up approach to analyzing the themes, three main themes were generated: teacher factors, contextual factors, and student factors. The findings of the study were ascribed to the participants’ resilience in their academic settings. The findings can provide the teacher educators and educational psychologists with certain guiding principles regarding teacher resilience. The results of the study has a number of implications for pedagogy and teaching practice as well as the educational psychology and teacher education .
