This study explores counselling techniques that are important for the advancement of online counseling, addressing a significant research gap in counselors' experiences with this medium. Using a qualitative approach in Klang Valley, Malaysia, the researchers engaged five LKM-certified counselors through convenience sampling. Interpretative phenomenological analysis identified three main themes: (a) positive experiences, (b) encountered challenges, and (c)preferred methods. The findings revealed online counseling's flexibility compared to traditional methods but highlighted limited resources as a drawback. Therapists must adapt their skills for effective online sessions, differing from face-to-face interactions. The study's findings suggested that therapists must alter their skills and approaches in online counselling that differ from those employed in the usual face-to-face counselling process to strengthen their therapeutic sessions. The study suggests further research to focus on counselors' experiences in online therapy, including language use and ethical considerations. Future studies could also include client perspectives to enrich understanding in online counselling.

This study aimed to analyse spelling errors among students of Arabic as a second language. The analysis has been done by identifying its causes and the factors that lead to its occurrence and suggesting appropriate ways and strategies to overcome these errors. The researchers relied on the descriptive approach in this study. The analysis has been done using the test tool for the research sample and the interviews that have been conducted with Arabic language teachers and specialists in applied linguistics. After analysing the data collected by the researchers from the calendar tool, we found the reasons why students of the Arabic language at Sule Lamido University, Jigawa State make spelling errors. They are of two types: linguistic and non-linguistic reasons. The linguistic reasons are linguistic interference, incomplete application of the rules, false assumptions, overgeneralization, etc. As for the non-linguistic reasons, they are: students’ strategies, lack of curriculum, and failure to use appropriate modern teaching methods. Following the interview, appropriate methods for overcoming these errors were proposed, including: hiring and training qualified teachers; using cooperative learning and the selective method instead of the standard method; reconsidering the curriculum; and intensifying the exercises where students made mistakes.

Social commerce (SC) has revolutionized e-commerce by integrating social media (SM) and Web 2.0 technologies to facilitate online shopping through user interaction. It is a subset of e-commerce that leverages SM to facilitate commercial transactions while encouraging social interactions and user-generated content. This bibliometric analysis examines the contemporary growth of research on SC from 2008-2023. Of the 1,028 documents analysed, the majority were journal articles (62.74%) and conference papers (27.63%), primarily published in English (98.83%). Computer science (67.80%) and business management (41.44%) were the dominant subject areas, reflecting SC's interdisciplinary nature. China (26.26%), the US (16.63%), and Malaysia (10.12%) were the most prolific countries. The most frequently used keywords were "social commerce", "commerce", "social networking", and "electronic commerce". The top cited articles focused on the role of social support, relationship quality, design features, and trust in driving SC adoption. While research on SC has grown exponentially since 2007, with a peak in 2023, the field remains fragmented. The study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the intellectual structure and evolution of the SC field, identifying key themes, trends, patterns, and future research directions. The findings offer valuable insights for researchers and practitioners to guide the strategic direction of SC research.

The importance of eco-friendly packaging is increasingly recognized by consumers worldwide, including in Malaysia, where it plays a crucial role in both protecting food from contamination and minimizing environmental impact. This study focuses on the knowledge, concern, and readiness of hospitality students at Sungai Petani Community College towards the use of eco-friendly packaging. Utilizing a quantitative research methodology, data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 174 students enrolled in culinary and hotel operations programs. The results reveal that the respondents possess high levels of knowledge and concern regarding eco-friendly packaging, acknowledging its environmental benefits. However, apprehensions about potential cost increases or additional taxes associated with such packaging were also noted. Despite these concerns, a significant proportion of students expressed their willingness to adopt eco-friendly packaging in their daily routines. Furthermore, the study identified a significant positive correlation between knowledge and readiness, as well as between concern and readiness, suggesting that increased awareness and concern can drive readiness to use eco-friendly packaging. These findings underscore the critical need for educational initiatives aimed at enhancing students' understanding of sustainable practices while also addressing perceived barriers to their acceptance. The study provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers, highlighting the necessity of integrating sustainability education into hospitality training programs to foster sustainable behavior and practices in the industry. Future research should explore the long-term impact of such educational interventions and investigate strategies to overcome economic barriers to the adoption of eco-friendly packaging.
