Innovating Kindergarten Singing Teaching: The Path of Ethnic Culture Inheritance in the Yunnan Children’s Song Guessing Tune
type: item
description: The Guessing Tune is a Yunnan children’s song, which is an outstanding representative of ethnic folk music. With its unique artistic charm and profound cultural connotations, it can serve as high-quality material for kindergarten singing activities. This paper designs a teaching activity plan for singing in kindergarten senior classes using Guessing Tune as the content. The teaching plan covers activity objectives, preparation, key and difficult points, as well as detailed activity procedures. From vocal warm-ups and song introduction, to appreciation and learning the song, then to consolidation practice and creative singing, each step is closely connected and progresses step-by-step. It fully utilizes various teaching methods such as graphic notation, AI animations, and dialect recitation, combined with diverse forms like group call-and-response singing, lyric extension, and lyric imitation. Based on this, the teaching design strategies for each segment are analyzed, providing specific cases and design ideas for the effective implementation of ethnic music in kindergarten singing activities. This can serve as a reference for the course Music Education and Activity Guidance for Preschool Children in higher teacher education preschool education programs and for frontline kindergarten teachers.

Chic Branding and Cultural Inheritance: Multimodal Construction of Chinese Brand Identity on New Media of Creative Tourism
type: item
description: This study examines how a cultural and creative tourism institution in China, namely the Palace Museum, represents and brands itself through the digital discourse (i.e. WeChat, Weibo and website). The multimodal resources presented in the web-mediated discourse were analyzed by drawing upon a social semiotics approach. The findings elaborate on how creative tourism’s branding is communicated in accordance with the semiotic modes. The symbolic and multifaceted brand identity that embraces market-driven value while fulfilling a patriotic ideology was constructed through an interdiscursive combination of linguistic and visual resources. By examining branding strategies from a social semiotic perspective, this study contributes to existing research by extending the multimodal focus to digital discourse. The findings could be valuable to domestic practitioners who intend to communicate unique brand identity strategically.

Squeezing, Tearing, and Rebirth: Constructing Dream as Thirdspace in The Vegetarian
type: item
description: Han Kang’s The Vegetarian is renowned for its visceral exploration of trauma, yet the specific narrative function of its dreamscapes remains underexplored. This paper integrates Freudian psychoanalysis with Edward W. Soja’s theory of “Thirdspace” to examine how dreams are constructed as a radical spatial entity in the novel. By analyzing the “dream-work” mechanisms of condensation, displacement, and distortion, the study argues that Han Kang constructs a heterogeneous space characterized by grotesque aesthetics and non-linear temporality. Within this space, the structural violence of the patriarchal order is manifested as a relentless “squeezing” of the subject, which in turn leads to an internal “tearing” of the self-a duality of victim and perpetrator that echoes Arendt’s “banality of evil.” However, the paper contends that the dream functions ultimately as a “Real-and-Imagined” Thirdspace: a site of strategic resistance. Through Yeong-hye’s somatic “plant-becoming” and spatial inversion (the handstand), and In-hye’s epistemological awakening, the dream deconstructs the binary logic of the anthropocentric reality. This study concludes that the dreamscape in The Vegetarian serves as a critical spatial practice, offering a post-human possibility for rebirth amidst the ruins of the symbolic order.

Translation of Achieves Pertaining to the South China Sea Issue Guided by Skopos Theory: A Case Study of British Foreign Office Document “Territorial Disputes of China” (1974-FCO-21-1242)
type: item
description: Britain has historically maintained substantial strategic interests in the regions surrounding the South China Sea. Throughout the twentieth century, numerous British departments preserved extensive archives pertaining to the South China Sea issue. These documents serve as essential resources for the academic study of the South China Sea, offering significant historical and legal insights. The translation of British archives concerning the South China Sea issue fulfills not only academic objectives but also significant political and legal functions. Nevertheless, current practices frequently lack a coherent theoretical framework to inform strategic decision-making. This study employs Skopos Theory in the Chinese translation of the British Foreign Office document “Territorial Disputes of China” (1974-FCO-21-1242). It posits that such translation constitutes a purposeful cross-cultural endeavor aimed at providing precise historical sources, bolstering sovereignty claims, and adapting texts for Chinese academic discourse. Through a purpose-driven analysis of lexical, syntactic, and textual choices, the paper illustrates how Skopos Theory effectively guides translators in balancing historical accuracy, political nuance, and reader acceptance. The study concludes that a skopos-oriented approach offers a robust theoretical and practical framework for translating politically sensitive historical archives, with implications for analogous translation projects.

Textual Interventions of Power and Ideology: A New-Historicist Study of Vargas Llosa’s Left-Wing Novels
type: item
description: Drawing on New Historicist theory, this paper rereads Mario Vargas Llosa’s first three novels The Time of the Hero (1963), The Green House (1966), and Conversation in the Cathedral (1969) as active interventions in the contest over Peruvian historical discourse. Following Stephen Greenblatt’s “poetics of culture” and Hayden White’s claim that history is constituted through emplotment, rhetorical figuration and ideological investment, I argue that these texts function as micro-historiographical machines: they calibrate narrative tempo, redistribute focalisation, and encode political violence in metaphoric regimes that manufacture socially circulating memories of the 1950s–1960s. Close analysis shows that polyphonic form simultaneously amplifies subaltern voices and folds their difference into a single, assimilationist timeline of modernity, thereby supplying a cultural script for the exclusionary logic that would characterise Peru’s neoliberal 1990s. The constitutive contradiction of this “left-wing historiographical apparatus”, denouncing power while reproducing its ideological surplus, guarantees the novels’ continuing public value: after the collapse of grand narratives they preserve an open, self-interrogating historical consciousness that offers readers a reusable critical protocol for re-imagining Latin America’s past and future.

Study on the Intricacies of Teacher and Learner Agency in Foreign Language Instruction
type: item
description: Language instruction has always revolved around the idea of agency. Learner agency has been significantly impacted by the educational objective that students become capable of independent learning. Learner agency is the term used to describe students’ deliberate efforts to learn as opposed to the demands placed on them by their teachers, the curriculum, and other factors. The majority of schools in our traditional teaching mode typically use a one-size-fits-all strategy to accommodate groupings of students. Many students either became passive or felt disenfranchised. Examining the topic of agency is crucial in light of the ongoing demand to improve students’ independent learning and teachers’ ability to take charge of their instruction. By examining the elements of teachers’ and students’ agentic systems, this paper seeks to advance a more comprehensive understanding of agency. In order to help instructors and students become more proficient in teaching and learning English, this study also aims to investigate the intricate aspects of learner and teacher agency, which present a challenge for educational theory.

Influence of Teacher’s Classroom Feedback on University Students’ English Speaking Anxiety
type: item
description: Previous studies have figured out the level of students’ English speaking anxiety in college and the general function of teachers’ in-class feedback in the lesson. However, these studies did not focus on specific aspects of speaking anxiety and there were few research about how teachers’ feedback in class working on students’ anxiety in oral English. Therefore, this quantitative study was designed to investigate the influence of teacher’s classroom feedback on students’ English speaking anxiety. Data from 245 students at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies were collected through a dual-scale questionnaire adapted from Horwitz’s Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale and Liu Xiaofeng’s Feedback Perception Inventory. Major findings show that most of the university students suffered from moderate level of English speaking anxiety and teachers’ classroom feedback does influence this kind of anxiety. According to the results, certain implications were also put forward to better help students and educators.

A Systematic Review of the Causes of English Writing Anxiety Among Chinese Middle School Students: From the Perspective of Emotion Theory in Foreign Language Learning
type: item
description: English writing anxiety is a common emotional disorder among Chinese middle school students. To systematically explore its causes, this study systematically reviewed 46 Chinese and English literature from 2014 to 2024 based on Pekrun's control-value theory and Spielberger's state-trait anxiety model. The results show that writing anxiety is mainly triggered by four intertwined factors: Individual student factors (especially low self-efficacy, accounting for 85%), task characteristics (mainly time pressure, accounting for 72%), teaching context (fear of negative evaluation is significant, accounting for 65%), and sociocultural factors (cross-cultural expression barriers are prominent, accounting for 41%). Existing research has largely overlooked the particularities of foreign language learning (such as the dilemma of switching between Chinese and English thinking) and lacks exploration of interventions aimed at fostering positive emotions based on Fredrickson's broaden-build theory. Therefore, it is recommended that writing instruction integrate cultural adaptation tasks with cognitive reappraisal training to alleviate the anxiety cycle.

A Study of the Relations of College Learning Motivation, Self-efficacy, and Academic Achievements
type: item
description: This study aims to explore and investigate the relationships between psychological elements, such as learning motivation and self-efficacy, and academic achievements, while examining the mediating role of self-efficacy during this process. To achieve the final goal, the study randomly selected 182 students, and a questionnaire-based survey methodology was used to assess their perspectives. The questionnaire comprises subscales for three dimensions, including a learning motivation scale, a general self-efficacy scale, and a self-assessment scale for academic achievement, all of which demonstrate high reliability and validity. The result indicates that college academic achievements exhibit a significant positive correlation with self-efficacy and learning motivation, and self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role between the two, accounting for a percentage of the total effect. The study finds that learning motivation and self-efficacy play a key role in achieving academic success. Therefore, it is highly recommended that academic progress can be enhanced by increasing learning motivation and subjective initiative, thereby indirectly reducing academic and peer pressure, and consequently helping college students achieve academic success and a sense of self-worth.

A Study on the Impact of Disciplinary Differences on Foreign Language Learning Anxiety — A Comparative Analysis of Science and Engineering Disciplines and Humanities and Social Sciences
type: item
description: Foreign language learning anxiety continues to influence college students' acquisition of foreign languages, and the factors that trigger this anxiety have received increasing attention. This study aims to explore the differences in foreign language learning anxiety and emotional regulation strategies among college students in different disciplinary contexts. Using the most widely accepted classification method, data were collected from 140 students in science and engineering disciplines and humanities and social sciences disciplines via the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS short form) and the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ short form). The results showed that students in science and engineering disciplines generally had higher overall foreign language anxiety levels than did those in humanities and social sciences disciplines, with significant differences, particularly in dimensions such as “classroom speaking anxiety” and “self-comparison anxiety”. Humanities students exhibited significantly higher frequencies of cognitive reappraisal strategies than science and engineering students did, whereas science and engineering students tended to rely more on emotion suppression and avoidance strategies. This study elucidates the mechanisms underlying disciplinary differences in the formation and regulation of foreign language learning anxiety, providing empirical evidence for universities to implement differentiated foreign language instruction and optimize classroom emotional atmospheres.

Multi-modal Metaphor in College English Teaching: Insights from IKEA Advertising
type: item
description: This study, framed within the context of cognitive linguistics, investigates the application of multi-modal metaphor theory in college English instruction. The research utilizes multi-modal metaphor strategies found in commercial advertisements (such as those by IKEA) as a reference point, analyzing how these strategies construct meaning through the interplay of language, imagery, and spatial elements. This approach aims to provide innovative methodologies for English teaching. Employing a combination of theoretical analysis and case studies, this research examines how IKEA advertisements effectively leverage visual, linguistic, and spatial metaphors to convey complex concepts. Based on these findings, it proposes instructional strategies that include thoughtfully designing text-image combinations and incorporating video resources along with interactive activities. These methods are intended to facilitate students' understanding of abstract language concepts more intuitively while enhancing their cross-cultural communication skills. The results indicate that multi-modal metaphor instruction not only aligns with the natural cognitive mechanisms inherent in human beings but also significantly enhances learners' engagement and memory retention. The conclusion emphasizes that adapting multi-modal metaphor strategies from commercial communication into English teaching offers an effective pathway for conveying abstract concepts and fostering cross-cultural competencies. Furthermore, it opens new avenues for integrating cognitive linguistics theory with practical teaching applications.

Educational Neurological Speculation on Neuroplasticity and the Development of Anxiety in High School Students: The Educational Implications of Stressful Life Events for Brain Mechanism Reconstruction
type: item
description: On the basis of the author's in-depth observation of the physical and mental development of adolescents in high school biology teaching practices, the present study integrates the perspective of educational neurology to explore the key role and educational implications of neuroplasticity as the core biological mechanism in the formation and development of anxiety in high school students. This article first elaborates on the particularity of neuroplasticity in adolescence and analyzes the multidimensional manifestation and biological basis of anxiety in high school students. We then focused on typical stressful life events such as academic stress and interpersonal conflicts, we analyze how they induce or exacerbate anxiety by activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, triggering neurotransmitter imbalances, and remodeling plasticity in specific brain regions (e.g., the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus). The core goal of this article is to reveal that the remodeling of the brain mechanism in this process has the characteristics of a “double-edged sword”—it can not only relieve anxiety through adaptive optimization but also form pathological neural circuits to cure anxiety. This study contributes to educational practice, emphasizes an in-depth understanding of neuroplasticity mechanisms, has fundamental guiding significance for the development of neuroscience-based anxiety prevention and intervention strategies (such as cognitive training, stress management, and environment optimization) for high school students and provides some suggestions for the frontline of high school students. Educators and parents provide a scientific guidance framework for action.

A Study on C-E Translation of Compound Sentences in Listed Companies’ Fiscal Statements from the Perspective of Semantic Translation
type: item
description: This paper examines the Chinese-to-English translation of compound sentences in financial statements from the perspective of Semantic Translation, taking a statement published by Alibaba Group, a Chinese internet giant in China, as the example. Financial statements, characterized by their necessity for clarity, accuracy, relevance, completeness, and timeliness, often contain complex sentence structures. Accurate translation of these texts is crucial for maintaining the integrity of financial information.By analyzing Alibaba's financial reports, this study identifies common translation methods employed to handle compound sentences. These methods include maintaining the original sentence structure, modifying sentence structure, and adding or omitting words to achieve clarity and coherence in translation. The study underscores the importance of these strategies in ensuring faithfulness to the original text and complying with the standards of financial reporting.This paper highlights the value of Semantic Translation in financial text translation, as it prioritizes fidelity to the original text while considering cultural nuances and readability in the target language. This approach is essential for producing translations that are both accurate and accessible to international stakeholders.

title: A Study on the Inheritance and Development of the Heluo Drum from the Perspective of New Textbook Reform—Taking the Seventh Grade Textbook “Art·Music for Compulsory Education” Published by the PEP as an Example
description: On the basis of the background of the national intangible cultural heritage protection strategy and the 2022 edition of the compulsory education curriculum standards reform, the seventh-grade textbook “Compulsory Education Textbook Art·Music”, published by the New People’s Education as the research carrier, was developed through literature research, case analysis and teaching practice. We explore the modern inheritance path of the Heluo drum via a combination method. This study shows that, at present, the Heluo Drum is facing practical difficulties such as content fragmentation, teacher shortages, and a lack of digital resources in the integration of textbooks. On this basis, the construction of thematic textbook units, the development of digital resources such as the AR interactive system and the school-based practice manual, and the implementation of the dual-teacher collaborative teaching model of “school teacher + intangible cultural heritage inheritor” are proposed. The study confirms that the above strategies can effectively enhance students’ cultural identity and practical participation in the Heluo drum, provide an operable practice paradigm for the deep integration of intangible cultural heritage music and subject textbooks, and play a role in promoting the creative transformation of excellent traditional Chinese culture. important reference value.

Knowledge Mapping Analysis of Intangible Cultural Heritage Based on CSSCI Journal Articles
type: item
description: In this study, CiteSpace knowledge mapping software was used to draw a knowledge map of domestic research on China's intangible cultural heritage (ICH) from 2011 to 2024 and extract the hotspots of research on the overall situation of research on intangible heritage in the academic community since 2013. We find that research on ICH has entered a rapid development stage in recent years, and a series of high-level research results have been achieved. The “core group of authors” is gradually being established, and the research results are gradually enriched. With the development of science and technology, the related research field is gradually forming into a new field of multidisciplinary and inter-specialized research, and the national level is also paying more attention to the research of ICH. At the same time, however, there are some problems, such as the lack of collaboration between research organizations and researchers, and the fragmentation of research, which is not conducive to broader research. Although the field of ICH has been developed for more than 20 years, how to position the field scientifically is still worthy of in-depth consideration. How to effectively serve China's ICH and its past research results for its creative transformation and innovative development is also a major issue that researchers in the field need to pay attention to and solve today.

Thick Planting Builds a Firm Base Color: A Study on the Conduction Path of “Ballad of the Great Wall” to College Students
type: item
description: Under the background of emphasizing cultural inheritance and value cultivation in the new era, the Ministry of Education promotes the integration of excellent traditional culture into university education. The Ballad of the Great Wall, as a classic anti-war song, carries a profound national spirit, but research on the precise transmission path for college student groups is still lacking. The purpose of this paper is to explore its effective transmission path for college students and help excellent cultural education in colleges and universities. By analyzing the cognitive and psychological characteristics of university students through multidisciplinary intersections, combining pedagogical and psychological theories, and carrying out empirical research, we find that university students are currently facing challenges such as insufficient understanding of the background of the times, lack of music knowledge, single teaching method and teaching facilities to be improved. Based on this, three transmission paths are proposed: classroom teaching, campus cultural activities, and new media communication. The study shows that these paths can effectively convey the spirit contained in “Ballad of the Great Wall”, stimulate the patriotic feelings of college students, enhance their identification with the sense of Chinese national community, and provide new ideas and practical references for the excellent cultural education in colleges and universities.

Causes and Effects of Boredom in Online Foreign Language Learning: A Systematic Review and Future Perspectives
type: item
description: In recent years, boredom in online foreign language learning has become a prominent area of research. An in-depth discussion of the current status of research on boredom in online language learning can both enhance the theoretical contributions to applied linguistics and explore practical strategies for reducing boredom and improving the quality of online teaching. This paper adopts a literature review methodology to select high-quality research published during the period of 2020--2025, summarizing the research themes from four dimensions: the definition and dynamic changes in boredom, its relationship with learner-related factors, its interaction with environmental factors, and its impact on learning effectiveness. This review systematically analyses the research subjects and methods used in these studies. The findings indicate that most existing studies have focused on college students, with a heavy reliance on quantitative methods such as questionnaires and a lack of qualitative and interdisciplinary approaches. Additionally, current research tends to overlook the specific characteristics of boredom as related to particular foreign language skills and online platforms. Future research should further expand the themes and adopt multidisciplinary research approaches to offer a more comprehensive understanding.

The Impact of Multiple Emotions on English Learning in High Schools—A Case Study of N City
type: item
description: This study takes high school students in N city as the object and adopts a questionnaire survey and statistical analysis method to systematically explore the influence mechanism of multiple emotions on English learning. Positive emotions significantly enhance learning by improving intrinsic motivation, enhancing the use of learning strategies, and facilitating goal planning; negative emotions inhibit cognitive engagement and interfere with the learning process, hindering academic development; curiosity, as a cognitive catalyst of neutral emotions, can effectively drive knowledge exploration and maintenance of motivation for learning, but it needs the guidance of the teacher to play a sustained role; the study further revealed that the differences in the types of schools are as follows. This study further reveals the differences in school types, with students in general education having significantly higher levels of happiness and curiosity than students in secondary education and students in secondary education having more fear in the classroom. On this basis, this study proposes a practical path to build an “emotion-driven” teaching model, which provides a theoretical basis and practical reference for optimizing high school English teaching.

Implicit Discipline of the Cultural Genes of the Mother Tongue——A Study on the Causes of College Students’ Spoken English Anxiety from the Perspective of the Chinese Language
type: item
description: In the context of globalization, Chinese college students’ spoken English anxiety presents deep cultural symptoms. From the perspective of the Chinese language and the literature, this study uses classical literary theory as an analytical tool to reveal the implicit discipline of English expression by mother tongue cultural genes. Through the study of historical texts, the dual cultural drivers of anxiety, which are the material constraint of thinking in Chinese characters and the difficulty of transplanting the literary aesthetic paradigm, are identified. Conclusion The creative transformation of traditional literary theory resources should be used to establish a dynamic balance between classical Chinese genes and modern communication.

The Role of Family Environment in the Psychological Well-being and Emotional Development of Adolescents in a Cross-cultural Context
type: item
description: Parenting style is regarded as the most significant factor in the family process that affects the psychological and emotional development of adolescents. Authoritative parenting features moderate support and positive, warm interactions, which usually lead to positive outcomes for children, such as high self-esteem and psychological well-being. Moreover, positive parenting styles can promote the free expression of emotions and facilitate successful emotion regulation. Since culture defines the value standards of parental parenting behaviors, parenting styles and behaviors may have different effects on children's development in different cultural backgrounds. To this end, attention should be given to adolescent development in diverse cultural contexts. Moreover, current cross-cultural research has focused mainly on the comparison of cultures among different countries, with little mention of urban and rural settings. Future research could explore how different parenting styles influence adolescents’ psychological well-being and emotional regulation in rural and urban Chinese settings.
