Classroom Engagement, EFL, and AI in Education

Bringing together cooperative learning, AI‐assisted EFL, and technology‐supported tutoring, these four presentations highlight how both traditional and digital innovations can bolster student engagement and language acquisition.

Social Media Influence, Marketing, and "Brain Rot"

Focused on social‐media influence and cultural identity, these papers explore how brands, celebrities, and viral trends shift consumer attitudes from Algeria to Taiwan, Ghana, and beyond.
