Algorithmic Autonomy or Dependence? A Mixed-Methods Study on AI Personalization and Self-Regulated Learning in Higher Education
type: item
description: As higher education shifts toward self-directed learning, AI-driven personalization tools promise tailored support for students. This qualitative study explores how adaptive AI systems (e.g., Smart Sparrow, AI-enhanced Moodle) affect students’ self-regulated learning (SRL), grounded in Zimmerman’s SRL model and Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory. A focused group of 40 undergraduates from English and International Relations programs at Nakhchivan State University participated. Through structured interviews and classroom observations, we analyzed students' experiences with AI-supported learning. Findings suggest that while personalized feedback and adaptive pacing can enhance engagement, planning, and motivation, they may also reduce autonomy and initiative. Concerns around overreliance and data privacy emerged. The study highlights the double-edged nature of AI in education and offers actionable insights for fostering learner agency alongside technological support.

Intercultural Pragmatic Failures in English as a Lingua Franca: A Corpus-Based Study
type: item
description: Background: English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) refers to the use of English between speakers of different mother tongues as a common means of communication. In ELF interactions, communicative efficiency and pragmatics often take precedence over strict adherence to native-speaker norms. However, using English in intercultural settings poses pragmatic challenges – what might be intended as polite or clear in one culture can be misinterpreted in another. These intercultural pragmatic failures can lead to miscommunication or unintended rudeness. Aim: This study investigates common types of intercultural pragmatic failure (e.g. misinterpretations, perceived impoliteness) among ELF users, using a corpus-based approach. We seek to identify recurrent problem areas in ELF pragmatic usage and understand their causes. Method: We conducted a discourse analysis of a corpus of spoken ELF interactions (e.g. academic discussions, business meetings) involving non-native English speakers from diverse first-language backgrounds. Using the Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English (VOICE) and other ELF corpora, we coded instances of misunderstanding or communicative breakdown. Analytical frameworks from speech act theory (Searle, 1969), politeness theory (Brown & Levinson, 1987), and cross-cultural pragmatics (House, 2003) informed our coding of illocutionary “misfires,” inappropriate directness, failed politeness, and turn-taking issues. Findings: Several frequent pragmatic failure types were identified. These include inappropriate speech act realizations (e.g. direct commands intended as suggestions), misused politeness strategies (e.g. missing hedges or honorifics), culturally divergent norms of directness (leading to perceptions of rudeness), and breakdowns in conversation flow (e.g. interruptions or lack of response due to unrecognized cues). Such failures often stem from negative transfer of native-language pragmatic norms or a lack of shared cultural context. Conclusion: The r…

AI-Powered Feedback in ESL Writing Classes: Pedagogical Opportunities and Ethical Concerns
type: item
description: Background: Feedback is crucial in second-language (L2) writing instruction for guiding student revisions and improvement. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), tools like grammar checkers and chatbots are increasingly providing automated feedback in ESL (English as a Second Language) writing contexts. Purpose: This study explores the pedagogical benefits and ethical challenges of integrating AI-generated feedback in ESL writing classes. It asks how AI feedback can enhance learning and what concerns arise regarding its use. Method: A thematic literature review was conducted, framing the analysis along three axes: (1) types of AI writing feedback, (2) pedagogical impacts on student learning and autonomy, and (3) ethical implications such as data privacy and fairness. Findings: AI tools (e.g. Grammarly, ChatGPT) offer immediate, detailed feedback on grammar and style, potentially accelerating writing development and personalization of instruction. However, risks include student overreliance on AI suggestions, variable feedback quality, and concerns about privacy and academic integrity. Comparative examples show AI feedback is fast and specific, while teacher feedback provides nuanced, context-aware guidance. Conclusion: AI-powered feedback presents notable opportunities for ESL pedagogy—improving feedback timeliness and supplementing teachers—yet it brings ethical dilemmas. Effective implementation requires teacher mediation, student training in feedback literacy, and institutional guidelines to harness AI’s benefits while mitigating its risks.

Müasir Qlobal Kontekstdə Azərbaycan Ədəbiyyatinin İnkişafi və Beynəlxalq Ədəbi Təsirlər: Təsirləri Formalaşdiran Amillər
type: item
description: Müasir qlobal reallıqlar kontekstində ədəbi inteqrasiya və qarşılıqlı təsir prosesi sürətlə inkişaf edir. Fərqli ölkələrin ədəbiyyatları arasında ideya və nəzəri istiqamətlərin dinamik mübadiləsi Azərbaycan ədəbiyyatına da təsirsiz qalmamışdır. Bu məqalədə əsas məqsəd Azərbaycan ədəbiyyatına xarici təsir mexanizmlərini və obyektlərini araşdırmaq, eləcə də bu təsirlərin ədəbi düşüncənin formalaşmasındakı rolunu təhlil etməkdir. Müqayisəli təhlil və analitik yanaşma əsasında aparılan araşdırmalar göstərir ki, Avropa və Qərb ədəbiyyatlarının Azərbaycan ədəbiyyatına ilkin təsiri birbaşa deyil, əsasən rus ədəbiyyatının vasitəçiliyi ilə həyata keçmişdir. Bununla belə, ölkənin müstəqillik qazanmasından sonra bu təsir mexanizmi dəyişmiş və üçüncü tərəfin vasitəçiliyi olmadan birbaşa inteqrasiya prosesi müşahidə olunmağa başlamışdır. Xüsusilə, müasir texnoloji vasitələrin və informasiya resurslarının geniş əlçatanlığı sayəsində Azərbaycan ədəbiyyatının dünya ədəbi məkanına açılması və xarici ədəbi cərəyanlarla qarşılıqlı əlaqəsi daha da intensivləşmişdir. Bu prosesin gələcəkdə Azərbaycan ədəbiyyatının janr və üslub müxtəlifliyinə, eləcə də yeni ədəbi trendlərin formalaşmasına daha böyük təsir göstərəcəyi ehtimal edilir.

Xarici dilin tədrisi zamanı tələbələrdə mədəniyyətlərarası ünsiyyət kompetensiyasının formalaşdırılmasının yolları
type: item
description: Məqalədə xarici dilin tədrisi zamanı tələbələrdə mədəniyyətlərarası ünsiyyət kompetensiyasının formalaşdırılması məsələsi araşdırılır. Müəllif qeyd edir ki, qloballaşma dövründə tələbələrin yalnız dil bilikləri deyil, həm də fərqli mədəniyyətlərlə səmərəli və tolerant şəkildə ünsiyyət qura bilməsi vacibdir. Bu kompetensiyanın formalaşması tələbənin ana və xarici dil mədəniyyətlərini tanıması, müqayisə etməsi və mənimsəməsi ilə sıx bağlıdır. Tədqiqatda həm nəzəri (ədəbiyyat təhlili, konsepsiyalar), həm də empirik (sorğu, müşahidə, eksperiment) metodlardan istifadə olunmuşdur. Məqalədə mədəniyyətlərarası kompetensiyanın struktur və məzmunu, onun pedaqoji və sosial əsasları, formalaşdırma mərhələləri və effektiv metodları təqdim edilir. Müəllif xüsusi tədris mətnləri, tapşırıqlar və kommunikativ məşğələlər vasitəsilə tələbələrdə bu kompetensiyanın mərhələli şəkildə inkişaf etdirilməsini təklif edir. Məqalə nəticə olaraq göstərir ki, mədəniyyətlərarası ünsiyyət bacarığı tələbələrin peşəkar və sosial fəaliyyətində uğur qazanması üçün əsas şərtlərdən biridir.

Speech Culture and Deliberative Practices: Negotiating Local Norms in Multicultural Contexts
type: item
description: This article explores how culturally shaped “speech culture” influences deliberative communication in multicultural contexts, with a focus on how participants negotiate local norms to foster understanding. Drawing on intercultural communication theory and discourse analysis, the study examines deliberative interactions across diverse cultural settings. Qualitative case analyses – including student forums and parliamentary debates – reveal that deliberation is not a culturally neutral process but one deeply shaped by local communication norms. Participants often reference both universal deliberative principles and culturally specific ways of speaking, using metadiscourse (talk about talk) to bridge differences. Key theoretical frameworks (Speech Codes Theory, Politeness Theory, and Face-Negotiation Theory) illuminate how communicative codes, politeness strategies, and face concerns vary across cultures and affect deliberation. Findings indicate that when individuals are mindful of divergent norms and actively negotiate them, they can integrate local speech practices into deliberative dialogue, enhancing mutual respect and clarity. The article discusses implications for language education – advocating the teaching of intercultural pragmatics – and for practitioners facilitating multicultural dialogue. It concludes that embracing speech culture differences as an asset, rather than a barrier, can lead to more inclusive deliberation and suggests avenues for future research on intercultural deliberative competence.

Dilin lüğət tərkibində idiomların yeri
type: item
description: Məqalə bir dilin lüğət alternativ sistemində idiomların rolu və əhəmiyyətindən bəhs edir. Bu tədqiqat işində müəllif idiomların öyrədilməsində multimodal yanaşmalar, idiomların gender və sosial sinifləri, idiomların regional dəyişkənliyi və dialektoloji aspektləri, nitqdə və ədəbiyyatda idiomlar, dil öyrənmənin bir hissəsi kimi idiomların əhəmiyyəti, idiomların nəzəri və praktiki müqayisəsi kimi məsələlərə toxunmuş və nümunələr əsasında aydınlıq gətirmişdir. Burada göstərilir ki, idiomlar yalnız dilin semantik sisteminə deyil, həm də dilin sosial, mədəni və psixoloji qatlarına təsir edən mürəkkəb lüğət vahidləridir. Müəllif qeyd edir ki, belə ifadələr müəyyən bir dildə üslub imkanlarını genişləndirir, mədəni kimliyin yaradılmasına kömək edir və söhbəti daha canlı, emosional və təsviri edir. Məqalədə həmçinin idiomların lüğət sistemindəki əhəmiyyəti, mədəniyyəti əks etdirməsi, tədris prosesindəki biliklərin çətinlikləri və tərcümədəki yeri haqqında ümumi məlumat verilir. İdiomların müxtəlif dillərdəki funksiyaları nəzəri və praktiki olaraq müqayisə edilir.

Class and Character in Emma: Jane Austen’s Subtle Critique of Social Hierarchies
type: item
description: This article analyzes Jane Austen’s portrayal of class structures in Emma, exploring how social hierarchy, gentility, and economic status shape the characters’ interactions and moral development. Through close reading and contextual analysis, the study argues that Austen critiques class consciousness not through radical opposition but via ironic observation and personal growth, particularly in the character arc of Emma Woodhouse. The article highlights Austen’s subtle balance between reinforcing social norms and advocating for ethical responsibility among the privileged, revealing a rich engagement with class-based values in Regency England.

Jane Austen’s Literary Role in Historical Context
type: item
description: This study examines Jane Austen’s novels as products of and commentaries on the Georgian and Regency eras, situating her work in its historical social, cultural, and literary milieu. Using a qualitative literature-based methodology, it analyzes themes in Austen’s major novels through historical contextualization and critical scholarship. Key findings show that Austen’s fiction reflects the constraints of Regency society – such as class stratification, patriarchal marriage norms, and religious conventions – even as it satirically critiques those norms (e.g. undermining the idea that marriage is a woman’s sole goal). Her narrative style (especially free indirect discourse) and ironic wit align with Enlightenment ideals and have earned her lasting international popularity. These analyses are supported by more recent interpretations, which emphasize Austen’s proto-feminist values and implicit engagement with issues of empire. Finally, we show that Austen’s influence endures in modern literature and scholarship: her themes and techniques continue to inspire adaptations and critical debate. This paper thus confirms Austen as a nuanced social commentator of her time and a lasting literary figure whose work bridges historical and contemporary concerns.

Translation Issues of Zoonym-Based Phraseological Units in Azerbaijani and French
type: item
description: This article examines the translation challenges posed by spoken-language phraseological units containing animal names (zoonyms) in Azerbaijani and French. Drawing on comparative phraseology and cognitive-cultural linguistics, it analyzes how semantic fields and cultural imagery of animals diverge between the two languages. Key theories of equivalence and translation strategies (Vinay & Darbelnet, Nida, Baker) are applied to classify idiomatic equivalence as full, partial, or zero. For example, Azerbaijani itlə pişik kimi yola getmək (“like dog and cat”) corresponds to French être comme chien et chat (full equivalence), whereas Azerbaijani dövəsi ölmüş ərəb (“the Arab whose camel died”) has no French idiom (zero equivalence). Structural analysis shows French prefers simple nouns (e.g. paon) where Azerbaijani uses compounds (e.g. tovuzquşu for “peacock”). Cultural connotations differ: pigs and cows are derogatory in French idioms but neutral or taboo in Azerbaijani culture. The study reviews translation strategies – literal rendering, equivalence (cultural substitution), modulation, compensation, paraphrase, and omission – with examples from literary, audiovisual, and everyday contexts. For instance, translating the French idiom avoir un cœur de lion may use Azerbaijani aslan ürəkli olmaq (“to be lion-hearted”) for equivalent effect. These insights can guide translators and language learners in handling animal metaphors cross-culturally, balancing fidelity to form and function.

Dialect Diversity and Social Change: New Approaches in Sociolinguistics
type: item
description: This study examines how contemporary social changes – including urbanization and the rise of social media – reshape dialect diversity in English. Adopting a third-wave sociolinguistic perspective, we synthesize findings from recent qualitative and quantitative studies (2015–2025) that explore new English vernaculars and communication contexts. The analysis compares corpus-based investigations of dialect features on social media with ethnographic studies of urban and online communities. Key results indicate that dialect variation is not diminishing but transforming: urban multiethnolects and digital subculture styles are emerging, code-switching and hybrid language practices are widespread identity resources, and dialect leveling occurs alongside the enregisterment of new linguistic repertoires. We discuss how third-wave approaches foreground speakers’ agency in constructing social meaning and how digital enregisterment and hybrid vernaculars challenge traditional boundaries between dialects. The article concludes with implications for sociolinguistic theory and social identity, arguing for integrative methodologies that bridge quantitative scale and qualitative depth in understanding dialect diversity amid social change.

The Role of Social and Emotional Learning in Language
type: item
description: This article explores the integration of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) into language education, emphasizing its role in fostering learner motivation, confidence, and communicative competence. Drawing on established frameworks such as CASEL and key educational theories—including Vygotsky’s Social Development Theory, Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, and Carl Rogers’ humanistic pedagogy—the paper highlights how emotional and interpersonal dynamics influence second language acquisition. It discusses the benefits of SEL-informed teaching, such as reduced anxiety, enhanced peer collaboration, and the development of emotional vocabulary. Practical strategies are provided, including mindfulness practices, storytelling, empathy-building tasks, and classroom norms that promote emotional safety. The paper also addresses limitations in implementation, such as time constraints, cultural considerations, and the challenge of assessment. Ultimately, it advocates for SEL as a core element of language instruction and calls for teacher training and curriculum development that reflect its value.

Emotional Wellbeing and Positive Psychology in Second Language Acquisition
type: item
description: Research in second/foreign language acquisition (SLA) is increasingly examining how learners’ emotional wellbeing – defined as their positive psychological health – affects language learning. This paper reviews the intersection of emotional wellbeing and SLA through the lens of positive psychology (Seligman, 2011) and key theories such as Fredrickson’s broaden-and-build model (Fredrickson, 2001). Whereas SLA research traditionally focused on negative affect (e.g. language anxiety), recent work highlights the power of positive emotions (enjoyment, flow, gratitude), traits (resilience, optimism, grit), and supportive contexts (teacher-student rapport) in promoting motivation and success. We survey literature (2010–2024) on constructs like foreign language enjoyment, self-efficacy, and positive educator practices, with special attention to post-Soviet EFL contexts (e.g., Azerbaijan). Drawing on this review, we propose research questions on how emotional wellbeing relates to engagement and retention in university EFL learners. We outline a mixed-methods design (survey and interviews) to investigate well-being and SLA outcomes, and discuss how positive psychology interventions (e.g. strengths-based activities, gratitude journals) could be applied in language classes. Practical implications for teachers – such as building rapport and classroom enjoyment – are highlighted. Future research directions are offered. Overall, this paper bridges SLA theory and practice by showing that fostering emotional wellbeing through positive psychology can enhance L2 learning.

Comparative Analysis of the Verb “to be” in Seven Indo-European Languages
type: item
description: This study investigates the morphological, syntactic, and semantic features of the verb “to be” in seven Indo-European languages: English, German, Russian, Persian, Sanskrit, Latin, and Lithuanian. As one of the most fundamental verbs across languages, “to be” serves critical grammatical functions such as copula, existential marker, and auxiliary. Using a comparative linguistic framework, the research examines the forms of “to be” in present, past, and future tenses, identifies shared roots and divergences, and highlights regular and irregular paradigms. Tables are provided to demonstrate inflectional patterns and the role of person, number, and tense across these languages. The diachronic analysis traces the evolution of the proto-Indo-European root *h₁es- and its reflexes, revealing both inherited structures and language-specific innovations. The study also contextualizes the verb's syntactic behavior in copular and existential constructions, providing examples in each language. The results illustrate both continuity and transformation within Indo-European verbal systems and offer insights into the historical development of grammatical categories. This paper contributes to comparative and historical linguistics, with implications for language teaching, typology, and philological studies.

Exploring the Role of AI Technology in Shaping College Students’ English Writing Development: Insights from the Complex Dynamic Systems Theory
type: item
description: The proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has profoundly impacted English language teaching, especially within the realm of writing instruction. Despite extensive research exploring the application of AI in education, a significant gap remains in studies assessing the influence of AI-enhanced teaching on learners’ writing proficiency. In this context, this study employed a longitudinal research design to examine the effects of integrating Kimi—an AI tool in China—into English writing instruction, framed within the Complex Dynamic Systems Theory. The participants, 12 tertiary-level English learners from the southwestern region of China, engaged with Kimi to complete weekly essay assignments over a 14-week period. They also participated in seven writing tests. The findings indicate that participants’ overall writing proficiency, as well as lexical and syntactic accuracy and complexity of their test essays, exhibited an upward trajectory and significantly improved. However, insignificant improvement was observed in overall writing fluency. Additionally, improvement in learners’ writing proficiency varied substantially among individual learners. This study provides compelling empirical evidence for English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) writing pedagogy, highlighting the crucial roles of differentiated instruction, dynamic assessment, and technology-assisted tools in enhancing students’ writing proficiency. English teachers are urged to adapt their pedagogical approaches flexibly, leveraging these insights to support the holistic development of each learner.

From Cultural Relations to Cultural Theory of International Relations: A Review of the Role of Culture in International Relations
type: item
description: After several decades of neglect of the role of culture in international relations, this factor has once again received attention in recent years. However, when discussing the role and place of culture in this field, different and sometimes incomplete interpretations of this relationship are put forward. The aim of this paper is to explore possible links between culture and the field of international relations. To this end, we have examined various texts that deal with the two topics of culture and international relations. This study shows that although this area of cultural policy priorities in foreign policy of countries and, as a result, cultural relations of nations also include, when talking about the role of culture in international relations and, in particular, the influence of culture on foreign policy, this influence goes beyond cultural relations and issues. Foreign policy spans a wide range of domains, and every decision in this area, like other areas of decision-making, can be influenced by culture. But the role of culture in international relations does not end there. The role of cultural differences in the view of the international system and the emergence of misunderstandings, disagreements and conflicts are also other dimensions of this influence. This achievement is finally completed by examining the theory of Ned Libo under the title of the cultural theory of international relations.

Review and importance of China's New Silk Road Initiative and the European Union's strategy
type: item
description: The center of gravity of the world economy is shifting from the Western world to Asia, with China at the center. China’s New Silk Road Initiative can be considered one of the important indicators in the shift of centrality. The main question of research is: What strategy has Europe adopted towards the Silk Road Initiative? The research hypothesis suggests that European countries are skeptical about China’s real goals and objectives in presenting the Silk Road Initiative. In this regard, Europe is trying to pursue the above plan, the strategy of absorbing China into the world economy and then controlling and dominating it, through cautious cooperation with China. The research findings show that from the EU perspective, although China is trying to be transparent about its strategy, the goal of the Silk Road strategy is not clear in terms of cooperation with the EU or some European countries. The EU believes that China's approach is one-sided trade and exports of goods to Europe. The research topic is based on the theoretical framework of the Beijing Consensus and Research method, descriptive-analytical method has been carried out.

The source of the British system of toponymic names
type: item
description: Geographical names are, above all, the words that are a unit of language vocabulary. Just as every word follows the grammatical rules of the language, so does it apply to geographical names. They are collected in the dictionary under the name of special names. It should be noted that the toponyms that form part of the dictionary, despite being special names, differ in a number of features. The complexity and diversity of British place names is historically associated with the settlement of many peoples in the country. The article deals with the influence of many tribes and nations historically inhabiting in Britain on the system of toponymic names of this country. In this article it is investigated the toponyms of Great Britain, which have their roots in the languages of at least five different peoples - Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Scandinavians, French and the role of all these peoples in the formation of the toponymic names of this country.
