“…Because phenomenologists do not research problems like childhood fear, conditioning, or amnesia, these are not the types of problems they study (Kwarteng & Acheampong, 2021). The humanistic perspective provides helpful information such as the caution that psychology should focus on solving problems that are relevant to human well-being rather than examining isolated behavior (Stracke, 2023). However, it appears to be a fallacy to believe that problems of mind and behavior can be handled by dismissing what we've learned about the scientific processes (Marsiah et al, 2021).…”

However, the negative side of online learning is unstable network conditions, sometimes constrained by the internet quota being exhausted, unfocused, and less effective in delivering subject matter which ultimately makes it difficult for students to understand the subject matter and using Google Classroom facilitated the online learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic, but there is no denying that they also consider face-to-face learning to be more effective than online learning.</p></div>

Linguistic reconciliation in contexts of conflict: Tamil language learning in Sri Lanka

This article explores how language learning is an integral component of progressing linguistic reconciliation in contexts of war and conflict. Sri Lanka is a case where ethnolinguistic division and the devaluation of Tamil as a co-official language has led to linguistic injustice for Tamil people and users of Tamil. In the post-war landscape, government commitment towards addressing this injustice, and reconciliation for that matter, has been weak. We interviewed 12 adult students and teachers in a small, non-profit, Tamil language course to understand what motivates people to learn Tamil in this context. The language course was a space where both second language and heritage language learners came together. Thematic analysis of the interview data showed that language learning motivations extended beyond the norm of the instrumental/integrative dichotomy and revealed the role of social, historical, and political factors, and a shared vision for societal multilingualism in shaping learners’ motivations. The results help to form a preliminary conceptualisation of linguistic reconciliation and to promote language learning “of the enemy” as an integral and impactful component.
