Abstract
According to research, semantic elaboration helps learners remember lists of known and unknown words recorded as general terms. In other research, semantic elaboration has yet to be shown to improve the recall of new word definitions. It is anticipated that semantic elaboration may harm the acquisition of word forms, considering these results and the inverse association between processing information in a second language (L2) for meaning and form. The research operationalized semantic elaboration by adding additional words to phrases to evaluate this notion. The current research aimed to determine how semantic and structural elaboration affected the acquisition and retention of L2 vocabulary. Fifty college students took part. They were divided into two elaboration groups at random: structural and semantic. Three sessions were used to teach 45 new English terms, and each group's objective included categorizing the words according to their number of letters or semantic significance (structure). They completed a post-test right after and another one two weeks later. The findings demonstrated that the text seems grammatically correct and has no spelling errors. However, it could be rewritten for clarity. Here is a suggestion:The effects of adding more meaning and organization to the vocabulary learning process of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Acquisition and retention from the assigned writing assignment were not significantly different. For more detailed findings, further study is needed to examine semantic elaboration's effectiveness at different language proficiency levels. A study is needed to examine semantic elaboration's effectiveness at different language proficiency levels.

Enhancing AI Capabilities: Advancing Multilingual NLP Through Comprehensive Language Processing and Analysis
The progression of multilingual normal dialect preparing (NLP) is significant for viable communication and data preparing over different dialects. In any case, deterrents just like the need for commented on data, complexities particular to the dialect, and the request for standardized data representation hinder advance. This issue is handled by an intensive methodology. We begin by conducting a piece of study to recognize crevices and openings in multilingual NLP, dialect comprehension, interpretation precision, assumption investigation, and moral contemplations. After conducting this review, we propose unused approaches that utilize headways in AI, machine learning, and phonetic modeling to obtain or make explained datasets that speak to different phonetic situations. Our plans are actualized and assessed utilizing fitting datasets, with quantitative measurements surveying their viability in progressing dialect handling errands. Besides, a subjective investigation digs into the socio-cultural and ethical suggestions of these strategies. Refining and favoring through iterative forms, with criticism from experts and comparison to benchmarks, ensure the quality and significance of our discoveries. This takes into consideration key perspectives to supply pivotal bits of knowledge for examiners and experts, upgrading multilingual NLP capabilities in an exhaustive and socially delicate way.

The investigation aimed to outline the characteristics and effectiveness of computer-mediated spoken communication between university teachers and students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study used a quantitative method and gathered data from the population of 100 students at the university; SPSS was used for in-depth statistical analysis. While we believed that technology access, instructor preparedness, and effective communication were the most essential elements of student engagement in activities, we were still looking for a significant effect of these variables. The results were such that older people rated their communication efficiency negatively. Nevertheless, the study stresses that in the process of electronic learning, the accessibility to technology and the quality of communication is not the only criterion that should be considered when determining the engagement in the electronic learning context. The results hereof are highly important for the strategic development of distance learning approaches, as they reveal that the attention should go beyond the academic discussions of technology and communication and should be directed to the whole spectrum of factors that directly or indirectly affect learner engagement.

ENGAGING LOW ACHIEVERS IN THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM THROUGH ACTIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES: A CASE STUDY
Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study investigates the efficiency of using the flipped classroom model in engaging low achievers and enhancing their academic performance in higher education. The research was conducted at Qurtuba University D. I. Khan, where a group of low achieving students were taught using the flipped classroom model, which involved pre-class learning through videos and other resources, followed by active learning strategies during class time. The study utilized a case study approach and collected data through surveys, interviews, and observations. The findings suggest that the flipped classroom model, combined with active learning strategies, was effective in engaging low achievers and improving their academic performance. The study recommends the adoption of the flipped classroom model and the use of active learning strategies to enhance the learning experience of low achievers in higher education.

Stylistics Analysis Of The Theory Of Foregroundingin E. E. Cumming’s Poem My Father Moved Through Dooms Of Love
E. E Commings (1864-1962) has been considered as one of the prominent poets in the experimental poetry in twentieth century. American literature. He wrotearound 2900 poems, two autobiographical novels, four plays and several essays, as well as many drawings and paintings throughout his life. He has his own technique of writing poetry and has special style in tackling language in his own way. It is hypothesized that Cumming's technique of writing is unique and this is shown through the use of foregrounding through all the levels of language. This paper aims at showing how Cummings usedall levels of foregrounding to elevate the theme of his poem" my father moved through dooms of love’’
