ABSTRACT:

This article examines the theoretical foundations of gamification as an innovative pedagogical approach in teaching English to economic students. Gamification โ€” defined as the strategic use of game-design elements in non-game educational contexts โ€” offers solutions to the most persistent challenges in Business English instruction: motivation deficits, low engagement, and weak retention of specialized terminology. The study integrates Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Flow Theory to explain why game mechanics enhance language acquisition. An empirical experiment involving 120 second-year economics students at Tashkent State University of Economics revealed a 34% increase in vocabulary retention and a 41% improvement in classroom engagement in the experimental group compared with the control group. The findings confirm that integrating points, badges, leaderboards, and narrative-based mechanics into ESP courses significantly improves learning outcomes. The scientific novelty of the work lies in adapting gamification mechanics specifically for the ESP needs of economics majors within the Uzbek higher-education context.

ABSTRACT:

This thesis explores the theoretical and practical foundations of applying fairy tale, story, and fable genres in integrated lesson plans in primary education. The integration of these genres is justified as a means of developing not only studentsโ€™ reading literacy (comprehension, analysis, drawing conclusions), but also their moral and aesthetic views, speech culture, communication skills, creative thinking, and socio-emotional competencies in a ะบะพะผะฟะปะตะบั manner.

Exploring Strategic Approaches to Catalyzing Sustainable Economic Growth in Developing Nations

๐Ÿ“˜ : Nexus Global Research Journal of Artโ€™s, Humanities (NGRJAH) Volume 2, Issue 4, 2026 (Page : 77 – 88)

ABSTRACT:

Attaining sustainable economic growth is a significant challenge for developing countries. Economic growth refers to the expansion of goods and services production within an economy over a given time, often gauged by an increase in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This article explores strategic approaches to promoting sustainable economic growth, synthesizing insights from literature. Key approaches highlighted include effective governance, infrastructure enhancement, education, and technological advancements. The analysis underscores the importance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and trade liberalization in boosting economic activity. Moreover, inclusive policies addressing poverty and social inequality are essential for ensuring the equitable distribution of growth benefits. The article concludes that fostering economic growth requires strategic investments in education and skill development, infrastructure, entrepreneurship, and innovation. It emphasizes strengthening governance, reducing corruption, supporting small and medium enterprises, advancing gender equality, adopting innovative technologies, and implementing robust macroeconomic policies. Other critical measures include enhancing health and social protection systems, promoting regional integration, and investing in human capital. The findings stress the integration of macroeconomic stability, institutional reform, and human capital development as cornerstones of sustained economic progress. The study offers actionable insights for policymakers and development practitioners, highlighting the importance of adaptive economic policies and governance frameworks in driving growth.

ABSTRACT:

Since English is considered a global language in the world, its different variants have emerged in various regions. The most widespread of these is the American and British dialect. Although these two versions are grammatically and phonetically similar, their vocabulary differs. In this article, the distinctive aspects in this direction between American and British English are analyzed scientifically. The article extensively covers the historical formation of lexical traditions and the influence of various factors. In the course of the research, the differences between the two dialects of words used in everyday life, transport, clothing, education, and words used in official speech are considered. This article will help students learning English choose the right option in both written and oral speech.

ABSTRACT:

This article discusses the specific product and use of foreign language learning for adults. The adult audience, unlike children, clearly takes a responsible and serious approach to the process of language learning and sets itself some goals. The main obstacles that adults face in the process of language learning are time constraints, experience problems, and memory problems.

Integrating Environmental Literacy in to Primary Language Education

Integrating Environmental Literacy in to Primary Language Education

๐Ÿ“˜ : Nexus Global Research Journal of Artโ€™s, Humanities (NGRJAH) Volume 2, Issue 3, 2026 (Page : 64 – 66)

ABSTRACT:

Today, environmental problems are seen in many places. Air pollution, too much waste, dirty water, and cutting trees are common issues now. Because of this, schools should teach children how to care about nature. I think it is better to start from primary school, because children learn habits quickly at this age. One useful idea is to include environmental literacy in language lessons. In these classes, students learn reading, writing, speaking, and listening. If environmental topics are added, students can improve language skills and also understand how to protect the environment. This article gives some ideas about this topic and explains its importance.

ABSTRACT:

ร”bangam and Agnรดs are two concepts taken from the Fang cultural context. The first expresses that solidarity principle which forces an individual to systematically take his parent’s side. The second reflects an anchored dynamic in the relationships between siblings in the event of conflict, with the logic of excluding any external mediation. This article unravels the ร”bangam and the Agnรดs as manifestations of commitment. Of this custom of knowing how to live through conflict and conviviality, this results in the neologized term “confliviviality.”

Keywords: ร”bangam, Agnรดs, Involvment, social interactions, ยซ confliviviality ยป.

ABSTRACT:

This paper offers an ecocritical reading of Amitav Ghoshโ€™s Gun Island focusing on the interconnected crises of rising seas, climate change and human displacement. Set against transnational landscapes stretching from the Sundarbans to the Mediterranean, the novel foregrounds how environmental degradation reshapes both ecosystems and human lives. Through an ecocritical lens, the study examines the fragile relationship between humans and the non-human world, highlighting how climate-induced disasters such as cyclones, sea-level rise and biodiversity loss disrupt traditional livelihoods and force migration. Ghosh portrays nature not as a passive backdrop but as an active agent that challenges anthropocentric assumptions and exposes the ethical responsibilities of humanity toward the planet. The novelโ€™s blending of myth, history and contemporary climate realities underscores ecological memory and the interconnectedness of global ecological systems. This paper argues that Gun Island urges readers to recognize climate change as a shared, transboundary crisis and calls for ecological awareness, empathy and sustainable coexistence in an era of accelerating environmental uncertainty.

ABSTRACT:

This paper examines Arundhati Royโ€™s The Ministry of Utmost Happiness through the lens of Everett Rogersโ€™ Diffusion of Innovations theory, focusing on how marginalized communities generate and disseminate social innovations that challenge dominant power structures. The novel portrays alternative communitiesโ€”formed by hijras, political dissidents, Dalits and Kashmiri voicesโ€”as innovative social systems that resist exclusion and reimagine belonging. These communities function as grassroots innovations that emerge from lived experiences of oppression, gradually diffusing their values of care, coexistence and resistance across hostile social environments. Applying key concepts of diffusion theoryโ€”innovation, communication channels, opinion leaders, time and social systemsโ€”the study analyses how narrative acts as a medium for transmitting counter-hegemonic ideas to wider audiences. Characters such as Anjum and Tilo operate as change agents, facilitating slow but transformative social adoption. The paper argues that Royโ€™s novel redefines innovation not as technological advancement, but as ethical, communal and political imagination, demonstrating literatureโ€™s potential to mobilize social change from the margins to collective movements within postcolonial Indiaโ€™s fractured public sphere. Such narratives invite readers to rethink justice, citizenship, empathy, solidarity and inclusive futures globally.
