However, there are few studies using bibliometrics to examine the literature and identify patterns in this field. This study aimed to identify significant trends within this field of research and to develop an intellectual overview of relevant scholarly work. Bibliographic data for 82 research publications published between 2008 and 2022 (February) were obtained from the Scopus database. Perish/publish, and the VOS viewer was used for data analysis. The publication trend was analyzed using bibliographic indicators, focusing on characteristics such as the most productive year, the top 10 most cited authors, document types, and prominent themes based on the frequently used keywords within the study area. The study's conclusions demonstrate that since 2017, the body of literature in this area has been continuously growing. However, during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2021, the number of research studies skyrocketed. Based on the findings of twenty studies, research was carried out on reading methods, the effects of online reading, and the distinctions between online and printed reading. In light of the aforementioned study, this paper concludes by attempting to outline some potential topics for further investigation.

The findings showed that the key features were (i) the qualitative research design was mostly used (ii) Interview and writing script were employed as the top data collection tools (iii) the participants were mostly multilingual (iv) thematic analysis was in the top as data analysis technique (v) the central findings showed that there was a positive impact of translanguaging on student learning and identity development but the tension between students' translanguaging practices in informal/social contexts and their hesitation in formal academic environments exist and (vi) the insights for recommendation of the study are the curriculum reformation, teachers' training in multilingual pedagogy, recognition of students’ full linguistics repertoires and integration of AI and digital tools to support multilingual writing. On the other hand, the key themes in existing literature were teaching practices, pedagogical approaches, multilingual classroom experiences, multilingual writing practices, decoloniality, and educational technologies. The findings provided valuable insights for researchers, teachers, policymakers, and those involved in this field.

At the dawn of the 21st century, the advent of a new millennium and fears of a uniform world led to an unprecedented surge in interest in this phenomenon. This linguistic diversity encompasses bi/multilingualism, which results in population movement, language shift, and cross- cultural interactions, leading to difficulties in learning English. This chapter focuses on discussing the challenges posed by multilingualism in learning English as a global language. It outlines various teaching strategies, assessment, and evaluation processes for multilingual classrooms with a focus on learning English. Here, the discussion is held on how cultural considerations are integrated into language teaching. Finally, evidence is shown from case studies of successful programs to inform future directions in English language learning in multilingual contexts.

Building onmathematical logic, autopoietic systems theory, and deconstruction, we reveal howinternational law, in its pursuit of foundational validity, defaults to circular justifications andinternal contradictions. Case studies of jus cogens , self-defence, sovereign equality, and non-intervention, alongside ICJ and regional court jurisprudence, empirically demonstrate that Log in Menu Search Cart Home Liverpool Law Review Article Decentering Universalism: An Autopoietic-Deconstructive Inquiry into Undecidability andPerformative Power in Global Normative Orders Published: 24 September 2025 ( 2025 ) Cite this article Aims and scope Submit manuscript international law’s apparent objectivity is often stabilized by performative practice,interpretive closure, and the disguised exercise of power. This research proposes a post-Gödelian understanding that embraces incompleteness, shifting focus to dynamic norm-production sustained by political will and ethical imperatives.
