Background: HPV is associated with several cancers, yet HPV vaccine uptake rates remain suboptimal. Enhancing HPV vaccine promotion requires looking beyond individual characteristics and conducting a thorough evaluation of how health-related and health system factors may influence HPV vaccine uptake. Purpose: Our study explores the relationship of…

This study investigated second language (L2) learners' use of reading strategies through extensive reading in a Korean English as a Foreign Language (EFL) university context. Extensive reading was implemented as part of class activities over an eight-week period in an EFL class. Seven students from the class volunteered to participate in the…

The teaching of children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Arabic-speaking countries depends mainly on the traditional techniques which are limited and outdated.
