“…This consciousness acts as a struggle to achieve liberation against established ideologies. Moreover, it allows the acceptance of the commonalities through keeping the differences in cultures intact (Moraga & Anzaldua, 2015). The purpose of mestiza consciousness, according to Anzaldua, is to break free from the ideological narratives in order to give new meanings to various concepts.…”

This paper presents original research which explores university students’ perceptions of cultural and religious identity issues in relation to Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist at two public sector universities in Sindh and Punjab, Pakistan. The theoretical concepts of dialogism and mestiza consciousness are used as major frameworks governing this study. The findings are based on data supplied by 16 students through google circles. The key arguments based on findings of this study are that the participants discussed and connected to cultural and religious identity in the novel that was geographically, socially and temporally close in terms of their local and global context. These results are important for curriculum designers, teachers and researchers in dialogism, mestiza consciousness, fiction and education in the context as they provide significant insights into students’ perceptions in relation to fiction

To verify the effect of the interactive teaching model in English teaching, the author proposes the application of the multiple regression model in the interactive teaching of English classrooms. Authors, by collecting data on each relevant factor, a multiple regression system with regression simulation computing capability was designed and implemented, and the model was solved and analyzed based on Matlab software. Experimental results show that: According to the multiple regression model, the average grade is 1.3732, which shows that the interactive teaching effect is obvious. Conclusion: The application of the multiple regression model in English classroom interactive teaching is of great significance to the reform of college English teaching.

In recent years, social media platforms have become key elements in many teachers' professional lives. In particular, teacher professional activities on X (formerly Twitter) have received attention from scholars. However, research has rarely explored X/Twitter use with attention to the diverse national contexts in which teachers work. To address this literature gap, this qualitative study collected data via individual and focus group interviews with teachers (N = 29) in three countries: England, Norway and the United States of America. Inductive analysis yielded findings related to purposes for, changes in and benefits and challenges of K‐12 teachers' X/Twitter use. Participants from all three contexts described professional learning activities that included sharing and/or acquiring knowledge and resources, and building professional networks and/or communities via X/Twitter. Multiple participants across contexts also referred to similar challenges such as avoiding negativity from other users. However, differences in X/Twitter use were also noted across teachers from the three national settings, such as only Norwegian participants speaking about using X/Twitter to find collaboration partners for teaching and learning projects. We discuss our findings in relation to literature, theory and practice around teacher professional learning in an era of widespread social media. Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topic Many K‐12 teachers use X/Twitter and other social media platforms for professional learning purposes. Teachers can use X/Twitter for various purposes and in multiple ways. Contextual factors influence teachers' use of X/Twitter. Social media platform use varies to some extent across cultures and nations. What this paper adds Identification of similarities and differences in X/Twitter use among teachers. International comparative analysis based on individual and focus group interviews of participants from England, Norway and the United States of America. Evidence related to the evolving and dynamic nature of teachers' use of X/Twitter. Implications for practice and/or policy Teachers who use social media may benefit from understanding diverse potential uses of platforms. Policies and guidance regarding K‐12 teacher social media use should accommodate various contextual factors, including national context. Diversity and changes in teacher professional social media use warrant more international comparative research in relation to wider policy contexts in education.
