- PublicationMoving Towards Inclusive Education: Design Paediatric Audiology Practice Guideline(2025-04)Aw Cheu Lih, Aw Cheu LihInclusive education (ie) aims to provide equitable learning opportunities for all children, including those who are deaf and hard of hearing (dhh). Audiologists play a critical role in supporting children with dhh, yet their involvement in ie remains underexplored. This study investigates the current practices of malaysian audiologists in preparing children with dhh for ie, the challenges they encounter, and their perspectives on the need for improved clinical guidelines. This research examines audiologists’ knowledge, attitude, and practices in facilitating dhh students towards ie. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing surveys and interviews to gather data from practicing audiologists. The goal was to design a malaysian paediatric audiology guideline that fosters ie for children with dhh for audiologists. Results from the audiologists’ online surveys revealed that while all audiologists possessed the necessary knowledge to treat children with dhh and positive attitude in ie, there needed to be more knowledge about ie. Mainstream education was not a predominant long-term goal for these children. Most audiologists considered the child's age at intervention and their speech and language abilities as crucial prerequisites for inclusive education.

- 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.
