In today's digital world, social media has become deeply embedded in adolescents' daily lives, and research related to online short-form media and adolescents' psychological development is gradually increasing. This fresh, instantaneous, and globalised interaction brings new ways of communication to adolescents, but also brings also brings mental health challenges.This research investigates the bifurcated impact of the TikTok short-form video platform on the progression of adolescent self-esteem. TikTok presents adolescents with avenues for self-articulation and societal acknowledgment, thereby potentially fortifying self-identity and communal affiliation. Conversely, mechanisms of social comparison and algorithmic curation may precipitate a decline in self-esteem, an escalation of anxiety, and the potential for problematic short-form video engagement. In addition, the study points out the limitations of existing methods and suggests that neuroscience and longitudinal studies should be combined in the future for a deeper understanding of their long-term effects. Meanwhile, it is suggested that media literacy education, parental guidance, content creation incentives, and psychological support should be used to help adolescents use short videos in a healthier way and to balance their positive and negative effects.

Multilingual education has gained increasing attention as a crucial element of equitable and effective classroom practice. Scholars have advocated for advancing beyond traditional support models by integrating culturally sustaining pedagogies, translanguaging practices, asset-based approaches, dynamic assessments, and strong school–family partnerships. However, there is limited synthesized knowledge on how these advanced pedagogical strategies are currently theorized and implemented in multilingual classroom settings. This review aims to expand understanding of emerging practices that center multilingual children’s strengths, identities, and learning needs. Findings revealed that relevant studies primarily emphasized two interconnected approaches: (a) promoting culturally and linguistically sustaining classroom environments through asset-based and community-engaged strategies, and (b) utilizing translanguaging and dynamic assessment methods to enhance multilingual learners’ cognitive development and academic success. The author provides a detailed overview of these practices and proposes useful frameworks for organizing and applying them in educational settings. Finally, the author highlights key implications for future classroom practice, teacher education, and policy development.

As an essential base for cultivating reserve talents in competitive sports, sports schools in China are facing numerous challenges under the new era of sports-education integration. These include difficulties in student recruitment, pronounced conflicts between academics and training, and a lack of scientific training methods. In order to explore sustainable development pathways for sports schools, this study focuses on the top six teams in the 2023 Guangdong Provincial Women’s Basketball Championship. Through questionnaire surveys and data analysis, it systematically investigates the current training and development status of female basketball athletes in sports schools. The findings reveal several key issues: insufficient scientific rigor in training systems, characterized by overly long training durations and a trend toward early specialization; significant conflicts between academics and training, with academic studies being squeezed out by training and competition; a disconnection between training and actual competitions, with too few competitive opportunities; and inadequate support in life management and mental health. Based on these findings, the study proposes strategies for improvement in four areas—scientific training, flexible education models, a well-structured competition system, and humane management—to promote the healthy and sustainable development of sports schools.

In the digital age, social media has also emerged as an intrinsic form of cross-cultural communication that allows people from different cultural backgrounds to converse and exchange ideas with each other. The same platform that unites human beings all over the world, however, also facilitates the rapid spread of misinformation that easily leads to cross-cultural miscommunications. rednote, one of China's most successful social media programs, is globally used by Chinese and foreign members alike, a rich environment with which to see the effects that misinformation has upon intercultural communication. A good case in point is the "TT Refugee" case in January 2025. Initially, the majority of users dealt with the situation with misconceptions based on earlier false news. However, through ongoing discussions and cross-cultural communication on rednote, the majority of misconceptions were gradually debunked. This case demonstrates the two-edged nature of social media—as both a tool for misinformation and an effective means of disproving false information through cross-cultural communication. The essay aims to investigate how disinformation contributes to cultural misunderstandings and how they may be addressed using best communication methods on platforms like rednote. Through analysis of user interaction and feedback, the research illustrates how social media can facilitate understanding and reduce cultural bias, prompting the creation of thoughtful and inclusive digital discourse in today's age.

Attachment theory suggests that patterns of emotional closeness and insecurity influence how individuals behave in relationships. This study investigated whether insecurity and proximity-seeking—two core dimensions of attachment—predict people-pleasing behavior. Twenty-seven participants (ages 14–35) completed surveys measuring attachment traits, pleasing tendencies, and demographic variables. Multiple regression showed that insecurity significantly predicted people-pleasing, while proximity-seeking did not. Age was associated with lower proximity-seeking, and family dynamics influenced attachment traits: individuals living with grandparents showed higher proximity-seeking, while those closer to their fathers reported higher insecurity. These findings highlight the unique role of emotional insecurity in motivating self-sacrificial behavior and suggest developmental and contextual influences on attachment. Results have implications for clinical and educational efforts to foster healthier relationship patterns.

The profound integration of AI into educational systems necessitates fundamental transformations in pedagogical roles and instructional paradigms. This study systematically examines the architecture of collaborative ecosystems between educators and AI tools through three critical dimensions: core components, practical challenges, and implementation strategies. Our investigation reveals that educators must evolve from traditional "knowledge transmitters" into multifaceted roles encompassing "competency facilitators," "human-AI collaborators," "emotional guardians," and "lifelong learners" to adapt to AI-driven educational transformations. Current ecosystem development faces multifaceted challenges including cognitive dissonance between conventional educational philosophies and technological innovation, insufficient AI literacy among educators, ethical risks in technology deployment, resource allocation disparities, and diminished teacher-student emotional connectivity. To address these challenges, we propose an integrated framework featuring tiered professional development programs, human-AI collaborative pedagogy innovations, policy-resource alignment mechanisms, and ethical guideline reconstruction. This framework emphasizes the imperative of balancing technological empowerment with humanistic values, achieving dynamic equilibrium between educational efficiency and empathetic engagement. Our findings underscore that sustainable synergy ecosystems require preserving the human essence of education while leveraging technological advancements to enhance educational equity, quality, and holistic student development.

Digital technology offers both opportunities and challenges for the internationalization of education. It facilitates global resource sharing and promotes innovative teaching methods through online courses, virtual labs, and digital platforms. These tools not only expand access to quality education but also foster cross-cultural understanding through collaborative virtual projects, online exchanges, and real-time communication across borders. However, technological inequality, limited infrastructure in certain regions, varying degrees of digital literacy, cultural adaptability, and concerns around data privacy and cybersecurity continue to hinder its widespread adoption. To address these issues, governments should implement supportive policies and provide incentives to upgrade infrastructure and close the digital divide. Educational institutions must integrate diverse resources and create inclusive digital learning environments. Meanwhile, technology developers need to enhance user-centered design and strengthen data protection measures. This study adopts a mixed-method approach, combining literature analysis with case studies, to examine the multifaceted impacts of digitalization on the internationalization of education and offer feasible strategies for sustainable development.

The advancement of digital technology has shifted language learning from text-based, unimodal models to multimodal approaches integrating diverse presentation methods. Despite exposure to multimodal resources, French learners still struggle with pronunciation and vocabulary retention. This study uses Duolingo as a case study to explore the impact of multimodal input on vocabulary acquisition, grounded in Cognitive Load and Dual Coding Theories. Findings show that multimodal input enhances vocabulary acquisition through cognitive reinforcement, memory consolidation, and application transfer. Limitations include a single-case design and insufficient discussion on cultural adaptability. Future research should explore cross-platform comparisons and leverage AIGC technologies for personalized solutions. This study supports multimodal theory in French acquisition and offers insights for platform design.

Into the 21st century, with the widespread and application of the internet, women in the new era have different characteristics from the traditional ones in the past, and they fully express themselves in the media environment. Thus the image of women in the media is diversified and personalized. New media platforms also pay more attention to the use and satisfaction of female users. Simultaneously, more individuals get opportunities to be exposed to feminism. This has led to better protection of women's rights and images in various areas, and contributed to social stability and harmony, reducing conflicts between men and women in order to maximize equality between men and women. However, contemporary women still face countless difficulties, and some stereotypes and prejudices still exist. Based on gender theory, this article examines the current status of women's media survival context from the perspectives of the transformation of traditional female images, changes in feminist communication channels, the maximization of women's rights, the real dilemma of women under social media and its causes, and presents the trend of feminist awakening through content analysis, comparative analysis and other methods. In a word, social media comprehensively and substantively, but with limitations, promotes feminism.
