To address the key challenges in current college English teaching—disconnection between technology and instruction, separation of tasks from interaction, and detachment of assessment from process—this study integrates three core elements: interactive teaching, technology-enhanced teaching, and task-based teaching based on 8 domestic and international empirical literatures on college English teaching. It constructs an integrated teaching model characterized by “tasks as the framework, technology as the carrier, and interaction as the essence”. Through literature content extraction, empirical data comparison, and tool function adaptation, the study identifies three key findings: 1) The “pre-task, during-task, post-task” framework of task-based teaching provides a natural structure for interaction, while technological tools (e.g., Chaoxing Learning Platform, Tencent Meeting, Google Docs) can break down temporal and spatial barriers to interaction; 2) Localized tools (Chaoxing Learning Platform, DingTalk) are more compatible with the academic management needs of Chinese colleges and universities, whereas international tools (Google Docs, Wiki) are suitable for cross-border collaboration scenarios; 3) This model can improve students’ listening scores by 12%, speaking scores (role-play) by 5.1%, and reduce grammatical errors in writing by 15% (based on empirical data from the literatures). This research provides an operable model reference and technology adaptation plan for the reform of college English teaching.

Creativity is a fundamental outcome of higher education, particularly in theatre disciplines where collaboration and interpretation are central to learning and performance. This study examines how classroom interaction and online knowledge sharing influence student creativity among theatre students in Beijing, China. Drawing on Constructivist Learning Theory and Social Cognitive Theory, a quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed. Data were collected from 367 undergraduate theatre students using validated Likert-scale instruments and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results revealed that both classroom interaction (β = 0.165, p < 0.001) and online knowledge sharing (β = 0.228, p < 0.001) have positive and significant effects on student creativity, with the latter demonstrating a stronger predictive influence. These findings highlight the synergistic roles of interactive and digital learning environments in cultivating creative potential. Theoretically, the study integrates social and constructivist paradigms to explain how collaborative and technology-mediated learning enhance creativity. Practically, it offers guidance for theatre educators and policymakers to strengthen participatory pedagogy, digital collaboration, and interdisciplinary engagement. The research contributes empirical evidence from a non-Western performing arts context, reinforcing the importance of integrating social interaction and digital knowledge exchange in creativity-oriented education.

Vietnam has participated in an extensive network of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), including new-generation ones such as the CPTPP, EVFTA, and RCEP. These agreements expand market access but also introduce complex regulatory standards. This study examines the effects of major FTAs on Vietnam’s key agricultural exports – rice, pangasius fish, mango, lemon, and star apple – during 2005–2024. A gravity model estimated with the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood (PPML) method is used to address data heteroskedasticity and zero-trade values. The analysis combines product-level export data with partner-country economic indicators and the timing of FTA enforcement. Results show that FTA impacts differ markedly across agreements and commodities. Regional frameworks such as the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the RCEP are associated with statistically significant positive effects on some products, particularly pangasius and mango. In contrast, high-standard FTAs such as the EVFTA and CPTPP show negative or insignificant coefficients for rice and pangasius exports. Overall, the findings indicate that tariff preferences alone do not ensure export growth. The realized effects depend on product characteristics and the ability to meet technical and quality standards. The study adds empirical evidence to understanding how Vietnam’s agricultural trade responds to new-generation FTAs.

he main issue in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning lies in the predominance of conventional teaching materials that are not aligned with students’ characteristics. This condition hinders the development of active, meaningful, and contextual learning processes. This study aims to examine the application of the Kemp model in the development of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching materials through a literature review approach. The findings indicate that the Kemp model is effective in designing Islamic Religious Education (PAI) materials due to its flexible, comprehensive, and systematic nature. The model includes needs analysis, goal setting, instructional strategies, and evaluation processes that can be adjusted to various learning contexts. Previous studies also reveal that the implementation of the Kemp model enhances students’ participation, understanding, and engagement in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. Therefore, the Kemp model is considered a strategic alternative for developing Islamic Religious Education (PAI) materials that are relevant to curriculum demands and students’ developmental needs.

The tripartite legal system of Nigeria, which consists of Sharia law, customary law, and statutes, has produced a sophisticated framework for controlling family relationships. This complexity is most apparent in the determination and safeguarding of spousal rights, particularly in areas such as Zamfara where Islamic law is officially enforced. This study conducts a rigorous, desk-based examination of the definition, interpretation, and enforcement of spousal rights and obligations within various concurrent legal systems. This study examines the conceptual underpinnings and practical ramifications of legal pluralism on marital relationships in Zamfara State, relying exclusively on secondary sources including as legal documents, scholarly commentaries, court rulings, and human rights reports. Special focus is placed on fundamental matters including maintenance, marital relations, spousal consent, and divorce. The comparative study shows not only where the laws are similar, but also where they are at odds, which makes it harder for women to get justice and preserve their marriages. This study argues that Nigeria’s fragmented legal system needs to be clearer and more consistent so that it can be more fair and uphold a more consistent vision of justice in marriages.
