Authors: Guan Zhao
Published: April 2023

Million Woman March was one of the largest feminist movements in American history taking place in Philadelphia in October 1997. The origins of Million Woman March date back to the 1960s as its organizers tried to resolve issues that had not been addressed at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement. The Black have long lived under the harsh crackdown on crime, and were considered a threat to social security. And Black women suffered violence and even murder caused by the crack cocaine. However, the organizers did not gain enough support, the participants did not have a unified goal of struggle.

The Impact of Official Art Training on Face Recognition Ability
Authors: Chen Yihan
Published: April 2023

Face recognition is an essential ability in peoples social lives and is widely thought to be equally mastered by the majority of people. However, more and more recent studies have discovered individual differences in this skill, which may be related to various factors in everyday experience. Given that portraits artists tend to have a better face recognition ability compared to others, this correlational study investigated whether the official art training that individuals have received influences how well they recognize and memorize faces. The hypothesis is that regular practice in visual art could enhance visual memory capacity in individuals, therefore enabling them to be better at recognizing human faces than their peers. To assess participants art training level and face recognition ability, the current study included an online survey and employed the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT). The results failed to demonstrate an association that was proposed. Limitations in the study and potential future directions were discussed.
Does Regular Visual Art Training Enhance Visual Memory Capacity and Enable Young Adults to Outperform in Face Recognition?
Authors: Zhou Zhuzhuoyu
Published: April 2023

Specialists usually tend to noticeably outperform others who are novices in that field. Numerous studies suggest that portrait artists who are experts in outlining and recognizing human faces develop more advanced visual working memory. Whether systematic artistic training could strengthen a persons visual memory ability particularly in face memory is therefore worth investigating. Thus, in an attempt to find the correlation between regular artistic training and visual working memory in face memory ability, 22 random samples were collected twice to complete a self-evaluation survey and a set of face memory test. The outcome indicates no statistically significant difference of face memory ability between regularly trained arts students and novices. However, due to several practical concerns, its worthwhile to conduct further studies to eliminate these issues and hence give evidence to support the study result.

Interculturality in Mandarin Teaching in China and in the UK
Authors: Shao Youni
Published: April 2023

The primary goal of the research is to compare and contrast the interculturality of Mandarin instruction in China and the United Kingdom. The qualitative research approach was used in this investigation. The majority of the information was obtained from the CNKI and Google scholar. It was conducted using the following keywords: interculturality, Mandarin teaching, cross-cultural teaching, differences, China, United Kingdom, and interculturality. There were 16 Chinese documents and 5 English papers recovered from the archives. The research relied on secondary sources and theme analysis to complete its objectives. Interculturality provides opportunities for individuals to have a better understanding of others' cultures in a tolerant manner. Interculturality has the potential to improve the accommodation of cultural differences. Mandarin instructors are acclimated to the foreign living if they have understanding of interculturality and are familiar with the traditions of the country they are teaching in. It is preferable for Mandarin instructors to get more quickly acclimated to the life of teaching so that they may devote more time to teaching students and less time to dealing with culture shock. Learning Mandarin allows students to synthesize distinctions between their own culture and the cultures of other nations, allowing them to appreciate the positive parts of other cultures. This is accomplished via the process of learning the cultures of other countries.

Authors: Wang Pan , Jiang Yunzhen , Yan Xinxing
Published: April 2023

English as a Foreign language (EFL) learners often find it difficult to learn English due to the large amounts of idiomatic expressions in English. These idiomatic expressions are difficult to understand since they usually cannot be translated literally. Idiomatic expressions can often be traced back to the same metaphoric theme. Based on previous studies, by classifying different idiomatic expressions into the same category based on the underlying metaphorical theme, students can better understand the meanings of those idiomatic expressions and thus learn better. However, students can be limited by the traditional 2D instruction medium. Therefore, this research proposal intends to investigate first, whether the use of Virtual Reality can enhance students understanding of the metaphorical theme, and then, to examine whether students could apply the existing knowledge of metaphorical framework to the understanding of novel idiomatic expressions. In the experiment part, a total of 60 seventh graders will be recruited to learn metaphorical-related phrases using a three-step teaching method. The role of medium in learning metaphorical-related phrases will be tested using the scenarios adopted by Thibodeau and Durgin's study (2008).

The Effectiveness and Efficacy of Corrective Feedback in Foreign Language Learning Classroom based on the Context of China
Authors: Han Kenuo
Published: April 2023

Early studies show that corrective feedback plays an important role in second language (SL) or foreign language (FL) classrooms [1] . On the one hand, some studies show that feedback types including explicit and implicit feedback affect learners language learning, usually speaking and writing outcomes, either positively or negatively. According to Sherwood Smith (1993) , positive input enhancement is tended to make certain forms more salient, through color-coding or boldfacing in the case of written input, and International stress and features in the case of oral input. While negative input enhancement is intended to flag certain forms as incorrect, primarily through the use of interaction feedback. One the other hand, other studies fail to report such effects (citation needed). This paper conducts a systematic review on the effectiveness and efficacy of feedback types in the SL/FL classroom by summarizing and synthesizing a number of relevant studies in second language writing/speaking/listening. Results show that explicit feedback facilitates the scaffolding of conceptual knowledge in FL learners writing process compared with implicit feedback, thus indicating that explicit feedback demonstrated a larger effect size than implicit feedback. This study provides compelling evidence for the effectiveness of corrective feedback and will shed some new light on foreign language teaching and learning in the context of China.

In accordance with the guiding of multimodal discourse analysis framework, this research analyzes the discourse from three levels, namely visual level, aural level and cultural level. The research separately summarizes the content features presented in each level. More importantly, the research has discovered the relevance among the three diecourse levels, which together construct the complete textual meaning of the case through superimposition.
