Influence of Teacher’s Classroom Feedback on University Students’ English Speaking Anxiety
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
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
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
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
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
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.

Knowledge Mapping Analysis of Intangible Cultural Heritage Based on CSSCI Journal Articles
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
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.

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
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
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.

An Analytical Model of the Effect of Sibling Relationships on Children's Socio-Emotional Competence: Based on the OECD Six-Dimensional Framework
To explore the complex relationship between the four dimensions of sibling relationships and the six-dimensional framework of socioemotional competence, including its subdimensions, a comprehensive and meticulous study was carried out. Socioemotional competence is one of the fundamental core literacies for young people in the new era and a driving factor in shaping life achievements. With the steady implementation of the three-child policy, the family structure is undergoing profound changes, and the number of multichild families is increasing daily. Against this backdrop, the significance of sibling relationships has become increasingly prominent. During the study, a wealth of existing information and data was sifted through and deeply analysed within the context of the OECD multidimensional framework. Ultimately, the study constructed a detailed analytical model of the effects of the subdimensions of sibling relationships on the subdimensions of socioemotional competence and arrived at specific and feasible parenting strategies to address sibling relationships: 1) sibling warmth should be promoted; 2) sibling conflict should be correctly navigated; 3) benign sibling rivalry should be facilitated; and 4) reciprocal interactions of equal rights of siblings should be fostered. This study not only has significant practical implications for promoting the holistic development of individuals, optimizing family parenting arrangements, and fostering harmonious social progress but also enriches the theoretical framework of socioemotional competence, offering new perspectives and a foundation for future research on multichild families.

Immersion in Humanities Education in High School Biology Teaching
With improvements in education levels in the central and western regions, quality education has received increasing attention. In the context of advocating quality education, humanities education has immersed all disciplines in the education and teaching fields. Since then, immersion in humanities education has become an important educational issue for society as a whole. On the basis of his in-depth investigation of social change and detailed analysis of the current status of education, Dewey proposed the theory of pragmatism in education, which held that education is a practical activity that should capture knowledge and absorb experience through the practice of daily life and elucidated that “school is society” point of view. As a result, science education has increased to a pivotal position. However, in the process, education in the formation of personality and mental health has gradually been neglected. However, in current society, moral corruption and violent crimes, especially juvenile delinquency, occur frequently, and this trend is becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, improving traditional education methods with the purpose of test-taking and emphasizing and strengthening humanities education is important.

A Study on the Relationship Between Parents' Expectations and Junior Middle School Students' Academic Test Scores -- Taking English as an Example
In the currently prevalent “rat race” phenomenon, which is particularly acute in the field of education. When it comes to discussing the factors underlying the changes in middle school students' English academic achievements, numerous researchers have put forward their viewpoints from different perspectives. This paper summarizes four crucial dimensions that impact middle school students' English achievements and conducts a six-week teaching experiment based on these dimensions. Through the analysis of questionnaire surveys, interviews, and experimental comparisons, it is discovered that the factors influencing students' English achievements, ranked in order of importance from high to low, are: family rearing style, communication and emotional support between parents and children, parents' expectations, and family culture and values. However, while parental expectations have a direct and positive impact on adolescent children, they rank third among the major factors and have a relatively low impact. On the other hand, in the context of family rearing methods that are not suitable for children's development at this stage and incorrect family communication and emotional support, parents' expectations have indirect negative effects.
