Purpose: This study aims to identify the limitations of English language learning in universities within the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province and to explore effective strategies proposed by students, instructors, and administrators to overcome these challenges. Methodology: Employing a qualitative research design, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with 24 participants, including university students, English language instructors, and academic administrators from the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis to achieve theoretical saturation, revealing key themes and concepts related to the limitations and strategies of English language learning. Findings: The study identified two main themes: "Limitations" and "Strategies." Under "Limitations," five categories emerged: Resource Constraints, Curriculum Issues, Instructor Challenges, Motivational Factors, and Cultural Barriers, each encompassing specific challenges such as inadequate resources, outdated curriculum, instructor proficiency, and motivational and cultural issues. The "Strategies" theme also comprised five categories: Resource Enhancement, Curriculum Development, Instructor Support, Motivation Boosting, and Cultural Integration, suggesting targeted interventions like improving educational resources, updating the curriculum, supporting instructors, enhancing student motivation, and integrating cultural elements into the learning process. Conclusion: The study underscores the multifaceted nature of challenges in English language learning in the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, highlighting the need for comprehensive strategies that address resources, curriculum, instructor capabilities, motivational dynamics, and cultural considerations. Effective implementation of these strategies could significantly improve English language education, contributing to better language acquisition and educational outcomes for students in this region and similar contexts.

Organizational communication is an important and pervasive topic that significantly impacts the resolution of internal conflicts and issues external to the organization. Communication connects the organization in such a way that without it, understanding, coordination, and collaboration within organizations become impossible. Since the foundations and principles of organizational communication in a religious society differ from those in a non-religious society, the present study aims to answer the questions of what constitutes the basis of a right-centered approach and how it plays a role in designing the principles of organizational communication from the perspective of the Quran, using a descriptive-analytical method. Various foundations and principles can be derived for organizational communications; however, this research is dedicated to the basis of a right-centered approach as one of the most fundamental bases. The findings indicated that the components making up the foundation of a right-centered approach include: The truth of God, the truth of religion, the truth of the impeccable Imams, the truth of angels, and the truth of the resurrection. These components guide individuals to adhere to the principles of truthfulness, truth-hearing, and truth-seeking. 

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the critical determinants of perceived well-being in friendship relationships during emerging adulthood. Methodology: A sample of 726 undergraduate students at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad was selected during the Fall semester of 2021-2022 through the convenience sampling method.They completed the Interpersonal Behaviors Questionnaire (IBQ; Rocchi et al., 2017), the Compassionate and Self-image Goals Scale (CSIGS; Crocker & Canevello, 2008), the Basic Need Satisfaction in Relationships Scale (BNS-RS; La Guardia et al., 2000), the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (INQ-10; Bryan., 2011), the Friendship Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ-F; Ryan & Connell, 1989), Interpersonal Behaviors Questionnaire-Self (IBQ-self; Rocchi et al., 2017), the State Level Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS-SL; Ryan & Frederick, 1997), the Perceived Relationship Quality Component (PRQC; Fletcher et al., 2000), and the The Basic Empathy Scale (BES; Jolliffe & Farrington, 2006). Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. All statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS.25, AMOS.24, and SmartPLS 3.3.3. Findings: The perceived support of basic psychological needs by friends (β=.204), the perceived thwarting of basic psychological needs by friends (β=-.147), the goal in friendship relationships (β=.234), the satisfied basic psychological needs (β=.124), the frustrated psychological needs (β=-.116), and the friendship self-regulation (β= .023) had significant indirect effects on perceived well-being in friendship relationships (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that self-determination theory provides a coherent framework for explaining perceived well-being in friendships.
