- PublicationThe Development And Effectiveness Of The Reading Boost Module On English Reading Comprehension And Reading Engagement Among Chinese Business English Undergraduates(2025-04)Zhu, AihuaAs global interconnectedness increases, business english has become essential for effective communication, prompting the establishment of numerous undergraduate programs in china since 2007 to address this demand. Despite the proliferation of business english programs, students struggle with reading comprehension and engagement due to grammar-translation learning methods and inappropriate learning materials. This study developed a reading boost module grounded in goal-setting and constructivism theories to improve english reading comprehension and reading engagement. The module includes self-assessment, goal-setting using global scale of english (gse) descriptors, reading skills instruction, authentic material reading, and reflection. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a mixed-methods approach, the study used paired-sample t-tests and ancova to assess quantitative data, complemented by qualitative interviews to explore students' experiences.
- PublicationThe Relationship Of Parental Beliefs And Preschoolers’ Attitudes Towards Home-Based English Language Learning In China(2025-04)Li Qingyun, Li QingyunIn recent years, there has been a growing enthusiasm for english learning in china. Chinese parents are sending their preschool-aged children to language institutions early to learn english. However, with the recent policy changes in china restricting english language instruction from being held outside of the home for preschoolers, it remains to be seen how eager chinese parents supplement their preschool children’s english learning at home. Using the home literacy model, this study aims to examine the influence of parental beliefs on preschoolers’ english learning attitudes through various home learning environments. A mixed-method design was employed, with 405 parents of preschoolers aged 3 to 6 completing an online questionnaire, followed by interviews with eight preschool-aged children. The quantitative phase found that parental beliefs significantly influenced both formal and informal english learning, as well as the availability of english learning resources. Additionally, the home literacy environment positively impacted preschoolers’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes towards english. In the qualitative phase, the findings highlighted that preschoolers preferred interactive and engaging methods such as role-play and music, which elicited positive emotional responses.

- PublicationFactors Influencing Bullying Victimization In Physical Education Among Middle School Students: The Mediating Role Of Self-Esteem(2025-06)Zhou, ZhuangBullying has attracted significant attention from educators, researchers, policymakers, and the public due to its potential to pose serious physical and psychological health risks to those involved. It is often observed that individuals who engage in bullying in concealed areas of the school environment may continue to target their victims during physical education (PE) classes. However, the specific factors contributing to bullying victimization in PE contexts remain inadequately explored, particularly in China, where research on this field is limited. To fill this gap, the present study developed the conceptual framework based on the Social Ecological Framework (SEF). This framework hypothesized that motor skills, peer support, teachers` responses to bullying, and family conflict could influence bullying victimization, with self-esteem serving as a mediating variable in the PE setting.
- PublicationAssociations Between 24-Hour Movement Behaviour And Anxiety Disorder: The Mediating Role Of Basic Psychological Needs(2025-06)Zhou, XiaogangThis study is a pioneering effort in applying the integrated movement behaviour framework to examine the associations and mechanisms between 24-HMB and AD among Chinese school-aged adolescents, moving beyond traditionally isolated behaviours. It not only establishes evidence-based integrated movement behaviour guidelines tailored to Chinese adolescents for mitigating AD, but also deepens understanding by revealing both direct and indirect effects of integrated movement behaviours on adolescent AD through BPNs, along with the moderating effects of gender.
