“…The impact of language learning on the aging brain is crucial for understanding experience-dependent neuroplasticity and the neural mechanisms underlying language learning, even though the cognitive consequences of language learning may be limited to language acquisition itself. According to Chang and Chou ( 2015 ), despite their long experience with the learning process, elderly individuals struggle with physical, mental, and cognitive development decline. Therefore, the needs behind their desire to learn a new language are essential to keep them motivated to learn.…”

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the best approaches to teaching a foreign language to older people to help them achieve the desired results and explore their benefits. This review strictly follows the PRISMA methodology for systematic reviews and meta-analyses to identify the core experimental studies that deal with the topic of foreign language learning approaches among the older generations. Altogether eight studies detected were included in the systematic review. The available sources were found in Web of Science and Scopus. The findings indicate that foreign language learning can promote seniors’ welfare and successful aging despite their learning outcomes, which means that the key benefit for third-age foreign language learners while learning a foreign language is not the achieved proficiency level, but the feeling of subjective satisfaction. This can be a good incentive to achieve better learning outcomes, provided that learners have been offered a pleasant and safe learning environment, using suitable learning approaches during which they can build on their acquired knowledge and experience, as well as discuss the topics they are interested in. Thus, foreign language teachers play an important part in seniors’ educational process because their teaching methods and materials when adapted to the elderly’s educational needs can have a positive impact on the maintenance and possibly, enhancement of the older people's cognitive functions and on the improvement of their mental activity, which consequently maintains their healthy aging.

Abstract. Clathrate hydrates are eminent structures regard as a threat to the gas and oil industry in light of their irritating propensity to subsea pipelines. For natural gas transmission and processing, the formation of gas hydrate is one of the main flow assurance delinquent has led researchers toward conducting fresh and meticulous studies on various aspects of gas hydrates. This paper highlighted the thermodynamic analysis on pure CH 4 and CO 2 gas hydrates on the custom fabricated equipment (Sapphire cell hydrate reactor) for experimental validation. CO 2 gas hydrate formed at lower pressure (41 bar) as compared to CH 4 gas hydrate (70 bar) while comparison of thermodynamic properties between CH 4 and CO 2 also presented in this study. This preliminary study could provide pathways for the quest of potent hydrate inhibitors.
