Understanding the Feelings and Motivation of Afghan Students’ Regarding Studying at Chinese Universities

Foreign language learning anxiety is a common phenomenon among students, impacting their language acquisition and proficiency levels. English major students, particularly in an online setting, face unique challenges that can exacerbate anxiety levels. Understanding the factors contributing to this anxiety is crucial for designing effective language learning strategies and support systems. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews to gather data on English major students' experiences with foreign language learning anxiety in an online environment. Participants were selected from various English programs, and data collection involved self-report measures and in-depth interviews to capture both quantitative and qualitative insights. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and impact of foreign language learning anxiety on English major students in an online setting. By examining the factors contributing to anxiety and its effects on language learning outcomes, the study aimed to provide valuable insights for educators and policymakers to enhance online language learning experiences for students. Findings: The study revealed that while online English learning can reduce overall anxiety levels and improve listening and reading skills, it also leads to increased anxiety in communication tasks. Factors such as technology-related challenges, lack of face-to-face interaction, and performance pressure contribute to students' anxiety levels. Understanding these dynamics is essential for developing targeted interventions and support mechanisms to help students navigate and overcome language learning anxiety in online environments.

“…To foster an open, positive, and trustworthy learning environment for students, educators should prioritize creating ample opportunities for cooperation and exchange (Kiuppis, 2018). Establishing a harmonious and tacit relationship between teachers and students, as well as among students themselves, built on mutual trust and support, is essential (Bahir et al, 2021). It is crucial to cultivate a humanistic environment conducive to soft teaching practices (Ajmiri & Bahir, 2023).…”

“…It is crucial to cultivate a humanistic environment conducive to soft teaching practices (Ajmiri & Bahir, 2023). In classroom teaching, teachers should offer more encouragement and fewer reprimands, along with intuitive demonstrations rather than empty preaching, fostering a lively and enjoyable atmosphere (Bahir et al, 2021).…”

The study delves into the impact of sports equipment and facilities on students' learning interests within educational environments, with a particular focus on the positive influence observed among physical education (P.E) students. Through a qualitative approach employing the library method, the research explores this influence by dissecting existing literature on related topics, including cooperative learning efficiency in physical education and the motivational dynamics of student-athletes. The findings underscore the vital role played by a harmonious sports environment, marked by sufficient sports equipment and facilities, in fostering physical education, personality development, and lifelong engagement in sports activities. Notably, students with access to such facilities exhibit heightened participation in physical activities, correlating with improved academic performance and enhanced psychological well-being. The study highlights the pivotal role of a supportive sports environment in shaping students' learning interests, boosting academic achievements, and promoting psychological wellness within educational settings. It stresses the necessity of ensuring adequate sports equipment and facilities, coupled with the cultivation of a positive sports culture, to effectively nurture physical education, foster personal growth, and encourage sustained participation in sports activities. Furthermore, the research acknowledges and addresses socioeconomic disparities in sports participation, shedding light on the escalating income inequalities over time, especially among specific demographic groups such as women, middle and high school students, and adults. Moreover, it underscores the potential of group sport participation to mitigate such disparities compared to individual sports, suggesting avenues for fostering more inclusive sporting environments.

“…Studies have shown that consuming enough protein can increase the body's metabolism and cause the body to burn 150-200 more calories per day. Therefore, in order to improve the metabolic level, the three major nutrients in the diet should be appropriately matched (Bahir & Huanghe, 2021a).…”

Background: The human body acquires energy substances through diet and consumes them through exercise, completing the metabolism process. This article aims to analyze the impact of metabolism concerning diet and scientific exercise to emphasize the importance of these factors in promoting physical health. Methods: The research delves into the effects of diet and exercise on energy metabolism, focusing on energy balance, nutrient oxidation, and metabolic flexibility. Various methodologies are employed to measure energy intake and expenditure accurately, crucial for understanding energy homeostasis and developing effective interventions. Findings: Exercise and Diet Influence Metabolism: Physical exercise and dietary interventions play a significant role in influencing energy metabolism, improving metabolic flexibility, and managing cardiometabolic diseases like obesity and diabetes. Energy Metabolism Measurement: Current methodologies for measuring energy intake and expenditure provide valuable insights into energy homeostasis regulation. These methods help researchers conduct high-quality obesity research by assessing various aspects of energy metabolism. Impact of Exercise on Metabolism: Studies suggest that extreme exercise combined with calorie restriction may not lead to sustainable weight loss due to metabolic adaptations like reduced resting metabolic rates. Muscle loss during rapid weight loss can contribute to lower metabolic rates. Dietary Carbohydrates and Exercise: Research highlights the interplay between dietary carbohydrate intake, exercise, appetite regulation, and energy intake. Low-carbohydrate diets combined with exercise show promising effects on body mass reduction and improved fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Conclusion: The analysis underscores the critical role of diet and exercise in human metabolism. By understanding how these factors impact energy balance, nutrient oxidation, and metabolic flexibility, individuals can make informed choices to enhance their physical health through scientific and reasonable lifestyle modifications.
