One of the essential abilities for today's corporate and educational environments is cooperation.…”

This study aimed to explore the perceptions of English Language Teaching (ELT) students regarding 21st century skills and learning environments. A qualitative content analysis method was used, which involved conducting semi-structured interviews with 62 ELT students. The findings of the study revealed that ELT students perceive critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, creativity, and effective communication as essential 21st century skills. They also believe that these skills can be developed through engaging and dynamic learning environments that incorporate technology, projectbased learning, and real-world applications. The results of this study have important implications for ELT educators and curriculum developers, as they suggest the need to create learning environments that are engaging, dynamic, and incorporate technology, project-based learning, and real-world applications. The findings also highlight the importance of preparing ELT students for success in the 21st century by developing 21st century skills. This study provides valuable insights into ELT students' perceptions of 21st century skills and learning environments, which can inform the design of ELT curricula and the development of teaching practices.

“…Students' self-readiness will give birth to a struggle to achieve what they aspire to.

This study examines lifelong learning as it pertains specifically to professional growth for university educators in Kuwait. Moreover, it looks at how self-directed and lifelong learning are interrelated. The findings of this study indicate a significant direct relationship between lifelong learning factors, including motives, attitudes, and conditions, and the professional development of educators, except for the attitude with the reflection activities. The current study employs a deductive and quantitative research approach through a questionnaire survey. Partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The findings underscore the effectiveness of self-directed lifelong learning in meeting educators’ professional development needs and improving their practice. Educational institutions should prioritize and support lifelong learning initiatives to foster educators' growth and enhance teaching and learning in post-compulsory education settings.
