“…(Aloni, 2022) notes that there is a high importance of fostering pragmatic awareness in the field of language acquisition since such pragmatic awareness becomes especially relevant in the era of artificial intelligence-assisted language teaching tools. (Milstein, Thomas, Hoffmann, & Carr, 2023) introduce the complex nature of linguistic and cognitive to shed some light on the processes that travel the cognitive map of deciphering figurative language, a case where AI systems often stumble. ELIZA serves as a historical instantiated example of early AI systems that can be used to map the journey of AI in that of conversation.…”

The main purpose to conduct this research was to evaluate the pragmatic capability of ChatGPT in human interaction and analyze how does ChatGPT, as an advanced language modal, handle linguistic features; irony, metaphor, and indirect requests during conversation with humans. Besides, this study followed a mixed method approach by conducting interactive conversation with three participants to determine the pragmatic competence of ChatGPT through speech act theory and language analysis using irony, metaphor, and indirect requests as linguistics techniques. Thus, ChatGPT has proved to work effectively in human interactions so far by understanding the linguistic context of content and generating responses accordingly yet, it appears more efficient when dealing with tone recognition and complex linguistic constructs like irony and metaphor respectively. To achieve accurate responses in different type of conversations, this research suggests a progressive approach towards the betterment of the responsive capabilities of ChatGPT by incorporating information from various linguistic datasets and users’ feedback.

“…Environmental scholars have problematised a westernised conceptualisation of nature (e.g., [60]), in particular the human-nature binary, which has contributed to nature being seen as separate, exploitable, and unresponsive to human actions (e.g., [61]), and led to 'ecological blindness' along with the tendency to obscure anthropogenic environmental destruction [62]. In response, both practitioners and researchers have advocated for connections with the more-than-human to not only include plants and animals, but also non-living elements, such as water, sunshine, etc.…”

Eco-Capabilities: Arts-in-Nature for Supporting Nature Visibilisation and Wellbeing in Children

Estimates of mental health disorders and poor wellbeing among children and young people in England are escalating. While maintaining a positive relationship with nature is thought to promote personal and collective wellbeing, children and young people are spending less time outdoors, exhibiting a lack of appreciation for the environment and degrees of ‘plant blindness’. As such, there is a pressing need on behalf of schools to address these issues, and to adapt to students’ needs for a deeper and more purposeful connection with nature. This study aimed to explore the potential of one avenue to achieving this: arts-in-nature practice. This involved utilising arts-based research methods, through which 97 children aged 7–10 drew their ‘happy place’, alongside participatory observations, and interviews and focus groups with artists and teachers, as part of the wider Eco-Capabilities project. Findings suggest that following the arts-in-nature sessions there was a significant increase in the number of children’s drawings which featured nature as a main focus. This was achieved in three ways: by drawing newfound attention to nature; by attributing increased value to nature; and by explicitly placing nature within the purview of wellbeing. As such, we argue that creative pedagogies outdoors likely enhance what we term ‘nature visibilisation’ in children, an outcome necessary for their personal wellbeing and sustainability of the environment. This has significant implications for school practice in relation to how to support children’s mental health and wellbeing, alongside boosting interest in environmental sustainability and pro-environmental behaviour.
