“…Regarding using digital technology to address the mental health issue, Indigenous youth's perspectives were reported from three categories of the relevant studies reviewed: 1) five studies reporting on Indigenous youth's feedback on digital storytelling, and video-and film-making projects focusing wholly or partly on mental health issues (Linds, Sjollema, Victor, Eninew & Goulet, 2019;Loebach, Tilleczek, Chaisson & Sharp, 2019;Riecken, Scott & Tanaka, 2006;Stewart, Riecken, Scott, Tanaka & Riecken, 2008;Wexler, Gubrium, Griffin & DiFulvio, 2013); 2) three studies about Indigenous youth's report on their use of digital technologies for mental health purposes (Carlson et al, 2015;Gritton et al, 2017;Hefler, Kerrigan, Henryks, Freeman & Thomas, 2018), 3) a study regarding Indigenous youth's perspective on eMH tools (Fleming, Merry, Stasiak, Hopkins, Patolo, Ruru, et al, 2019).…”

“…Among the five Indigenous youth digital storytelling or film-making research projects, Wexler et al's (2013) study engaged Alaska Native youth in the production of digital stories, exploring protective factors of suicidality. The other four studies focused on the role of film production or digital storytelling on Indigenous youth's overall health and their personal and community wellness (Linds et al, 2019;Loebach et al, 2019;Riecken et al, 2006;Stewart et al, 2008). The results showed that digital storytelling and filmmaking activities were well-received by Indigenous youth and reported positive and meaningful experiences, such as a higher percentage of youth feeling "satisfied" with digital storytelling projects (Wexler et al, 2013).…”

Indigenous students have experienced negative inter-generational impacts from colonization and socioeconomic stress, leading to mental health challenges and persistent subpar academic performance. Both issues intertwined pose a complex challenge that has been increasingly documented by media, research, and in government reports and has had a significant impact on Indigenous youth's wellbeing and academic achievement. In addition to the educational disparity faced by Indigenous youth, particularly those living in remote Indigenous communities, high rates of suicide, depression, and substance abuse have prevented them from obtaining the language and literacy skills required for graduating high school and pursuing post-secondary education and professional opportunities. Educational interventions would be more effective if these issues were addressed in their design and implementation and grounded in Indigenous cultural and community practices.Research has reported that many Indigenous youth have adopted or are keen to adopt digital technologies, which have the potential to provide e-mental health resources as well as opportunities to improve academic literacy skills. This research synthesis examines the evidence of the efficacy of using digital technologies to support Indigenous youth's mental health and the learning of language and literacy skills. It presents a profile of important studies focusing on Indigenous youth's perspectives on both issues. Based on a culturally responsive pedagogical framework, this article provides insights for teaching practice, and also identifies gaps for future research and instructional innovations that are urgently needed to support Indigenous youth students.

“…Scholars from different countries define communicative culture as a basic component of personal culture, preparing one for self-actualization, adaptation to reality. Information culture is viewed as the ability to work purposefully with information, using modern tools; acquiring it students have to master a set of communication skills, rational methods of communication, ways to transfer information, and the ability to retrieve and effectively use it (Bezanilla et al, 2020;Börü, 2018;Boussif & Auñón, 2021;Comerford, 2019;Corbisiero-Drakos et al, 2021;Fedorov, 2018;Law & Stock, 2019;Linds et al, 2020;Luton, 2021;Nilsson & Karlsson, 2019;Redfern, 2021).…”

“…It is well established that cinematic discourse is a specific text, which has the same properties as a traditional text: it is informative, coherent, integral, and is supported by audiovisual means. At the same time, cinematic discourse is characterized as a product of production and consumption by the viewer (Almuslamani et al, 2020;Ayres, 2015;Buckingham, 2007;Comerford, 2019;Linds et al, 2020;Redfern, 2021). From the point of view of methodology of teaching the Russian language and literature we consider cinematic discourse as a complex of verbal and non-verbal means and expressive techniques used in the creation of specific media texts and creolized texts.…”

The article addresses the problem of analyzing cinematic discourse as a means of training language teachers. The goal of the empirical research is to substantiate cinematic discourse as a didactic resource for the Russian language and literature lessons. In order to achieve this goal the experimental work was carried out and students' achievements in solving methodological problems in the field of teaching the Russian language and literature were compared. The research is based on theoretical and experimental methods; the method of constructing learning situations was applied. In the course of the study, it was confirmed that in teaching philology students in Moscow and Taganrog the methodology of teaching the Russian language and literature in the digital space, it is advisable and productive to use creolized texts that emotionally affect the viewer and have a pronounced educational potential. The results of the study confirmed our assumption that the readiness to use creolized texts and media texts in the classroom allow meaningful and didactically correct formation of pupils' subject and meta-subject skills, which include comparing texts of different nature, formulating a standpoint related to their content, as well as the ability to a produce detailed oral and written response. The study resulted in determining the structure of the methodological case, which can be used by teachers of the Russian language and literature at lessons involving the use of video content.

It starts with a feeling in the heart. First, it is a gentle nudge. Then, a soft thud. Little does one know that the Light of Inspiration and Promise has entered. Then comes the vision in the mind, a tapestry of the finest detail, yet to manifest into an awesome, awesome reality.There are so many people who have helped me to bring this part of my tapestry to life: My late beloved mother, Amina; my father, Khaliq Dawood; my sister, Nezireh -they have raised me in a home where creativity has always been honoured as a gift from Allah Al-Wadud.My blessed supervisor and mentor, Dr Izanette van Schalkwyk, and her family who welcomed me into their heart and home. Dr van Schalkwyk is my living proof that the Light of our Creator can be so soft and beautiful, yet so strong and unstoppable, all at once. My language editor, Belinda Cuthbert, whose compassion for me as a student, and whose eloquence and eye for detail has given me the confidence to present this study to the world.At the North-West University -I continue to be inspired by the humility of my lecturers who are in fact giants in their fields; and I draw so much strength from precious memories of time spent with my fellow MAPP colleagues. A special thank you to all staff members who made it easy for me to fulfil all of the requirements for the submission of this mini-dissertation.
