As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, anatomy education was forced to adopt online modes of delivery. Previous research on student views revealed areas of strong preference (asynchronous lectures) and strong dislike (virtual specimens) in online anatomy courses. The current study seeks to compare the views of a single cohort of students…

Corpus analysis methods have been widely employed in literary translation research by numerous scholars. However, their integration into literary translation training has yet to be developed. With the advancement of AI technology, this paper explores the potential of employing AI-enhanced corpus text analysis and text mining techniques in this…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools at all levels were often closed and online distance instruction (ODI) was applied. The main objective of this research was to discover the main didactic features of online distance instruction; and based on the collected data to define didactic recommendations towards improving the quality of the process. Five…

Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) is a qualitative data analysis approach that combines mind mapping with inductive analysis to condense data obtained from group interviews. One benefit of REM is the ability to identify unintended outcomes, or "ripples," of the intervention of interest. Ripples are visually represented by a mind map created…

Teaching English as an International Language (TEIL) refers to teaching English as a truly international medium via exposing learners to diversity, adopting a broad cultural view, fostering sensitivity and responsibility, being sensitive to the local culture of learning, and equipping learners with communication strategies.
