Purpose - This study examines how Jordanian universities are using technology in the English-language curriculum, focusing on Petra and Al-Zaytoonah's Arabic and English preparation programs. The study's main goal is to determine how well smart boards, iPads, and Moodle teach ESL students. The study will also assess language classroom technology's pros and cons. The study's main objective is to assess technology integration and its impact on Jordanian EFL students. Design/methodology/approach - The research methodology used in this study is a qualitative and observational technique in order to accomplish its stated aims. The research methodology includes conducting interviews with English academics affiliated with the University of Petra and the University of Al-Zaytoonah in the country of Jordan. The conducted interviews provide significant perspectives on the use of technology within English educational settings. Furthermore, the research undertakes a comprehensive examination of pertinent scholarly works in order to enhance and support the insights derived from the interviews. Findings/results – Based on the data and the interviews, it has been observed that Jordanian educators use several technology tools, including smart boards, iPads, and Moodle, inside their English lessons. The use of technology might potentially enhance the language proficiency of Arabic and English language learners (ELLs) in Jordan, offering them many advantages. However, it is worth noting that there exists a significant deficiency in the level of knowledge of and comprehension of technology among some instructors. Originality/value - Technology's role in Jordanian English language instruction is underlined in this research. Technology utilization in Petra University and Al-Zaytoonah University's preparatory schools is studied. Through educator interviews and literature reviews, this research analyzes technology integration today. This study also examines the pros and cons of utilizing technology to improve language competency, helping educators and scholars comprehend technology's impact on language education.

Most countries strive to reach effective sustainable development policies, given the repercussions of this policy on many aspects, such as the economic growth of countries. The adoption of policies of sustainability by developing countries may lead to their development faster than expected. This research aims to study the strategies applied in one of the universities of developing countries and the sustainability policies adopted at that university which is Damascus University. The study focuses on the time during last four years of the Syrian crisis through several factors, with a focus on the analysis based on the SciVal and Scopus databases and the strategies applied by the university itself. In this research, we use the method of extracting and analysing the data of the sixteen sustainable development goals (SDGs) of Damascus University within Scopus and SciVal. We also analyse the strategies used in the university in order to reach some of the determinants of SDGs. By analysing Scopus and SciVal data, we find that the third goal of SDGs is the most widespread in terms of scientific research in Damascus University. We find that the application of such policies led to an important goal in the environment, which is the ratio of green space in Damascus University reaching to more than 63 percent of the total flat area of the university. In addition, we find that the application of sustainable development policies led to the generation of energy from renewable sources by 11% of the total electrical energy consumed at the university. The university has been able to reach lots of indicators of the sustainable development goals and it remains apply others.

“…Unfortunately, only a very small number of instructors in higher education institutions had implemented and applied this new form of technological student assessment, let alone the number of teachers of English literature. This was due to many factors such as lack of awareness of education technology and resisting online or remote learning (Awajan, 2022b;Cifuentes-Faura, 2020;Maican & Cocoradă, 2021).…”

This study aims to show how formative assessment that is assisted by technology can improve student learning in English literature courses in higher education. Moreover, it explores how the use of technology could help implement formative assessment by the instructors to assure student learning in English literature courses in an efficient and timely manner. Formative assessment is somewhat new for higher education instructors, especially those who teach English literature. Applying this type of assessment is, unfortunately, not easy and the results are not always ideal. Nevertheless, to reach the goals of the study, a quantitative method is distributed to 50 English literature instructors from higher educational institutions that recently started implementing technology in their formative assessments. The significance of the study lies in the fact that the study is conducted in a region where formative assessment has recently been used in education, specifically in higher education English literature courses. The contribution also lies in how technology can help implement formative assessment, overcome any obstacles, and thus ensure student learning. The findings of the study show significant awareness of formative assessment in higher education, and especially among instructors of English literature. The findings also indicate that implementing technology with formative assessments enhances students’ learning in English literature course in higher education after COVID-19.
