Language learning cannot be separated from philosophy because philosophy is the mother of science. In its development, language learning was influenced by the philosophy that developed at its time, including analytic philosophy. The influence of Analytic Philosophy is felt in language teaching, especially in semantic and pragmatic research. And Russell's theory of Logical Atomism opens new horizons for scientific research, including linguistics. On the other hand, semantics is an image which is then continued by the theory of meaning used by Wittgenstein as an early study of semantics and pragmatics. Furthermore, the analytical philosophy developed by The Oxford School develops a theory of speech acts that naturally influence language learning, learning is a speech act of language learning.

Feedback is crucial for assisting EFL writers since writing in English is challenging for them. Although numerous research studies have been done on the usefulness of peer and teacher feedback in EFL writing, studies that show the differences between the effectiveness of teacher's feedback versus peer's feedback and the student's reactions to mixing feedback are generally rare. This study was thus conducted on the peer and teacher feedback and both feedback model in three writing paragraphs for twenty students at an intermediate school in Buraydah, Saudi Arabia, where English is taught as a foreign language. To identify the students' reactions in the pre-post application of the questionnaire and the pre-post test design for one group of students, the study used a semi-experimental approach. The findings indicated no significant differences at a significance level of less than 0.05 between the mean scores of the peers and the teacher feedback. The experiment had success in terms of students’ positive attitudes towards mixing feedback models, the usefulness of peer comments, high percentages of feedback incorporations, and high overall writing scores. Therefore, based on the study results, the researcher confirms the usefulness of mixed feedback and recommends using it to improve student's' English writing skills.

The status of the discipline is the key to its development. This paper investigates the current status of the subject of English in high schools and argues that its reduced disciplinary status will have a profound impact on the development of English. From the perspective of an independent discipline, high school English teaching is a relatively independent discipline. The disciplinary position is both a matter of doctrine and jurisprudence. Because it has not been given its proper disciplinary status for a long time, high school English teaching used to be introduced as a flexible teaching mode in the profession of talent training. With the in-depth development of the reform of English teaching in high schools in China, the discipline construction of English teaching in colleges and universities needs more attention, and it is suggested that English is strengthened as a professional course, and the status of English discipline is continuously enhanced and upgraded.

The analysis in this study aims to find out whether humor in English is also considered funny in Indonesian. The results of the study show that there is complexity in translating humor using language features. The animated film Once Upon a Snowman adopts an interpretive-communicative translation method and in doing so several compromises are made.

Children aged four and five served as the research subjects for the study "Vocabulary Acquisition of Children in Roudlotut Taaibin (Non-Formal Education)". The goal of this study was to compare the amount of vocabulary learned by four- and five-year-old children who were categorized based on the terms they used. This research is descriptive qualitative since it looks at linguistic phenomena across a certain time period. According to the findings of this study, four-year-olds acquire more vocabulary than five-year-olds do. On average, four- and five-year-olds acquire 100 more words in just eight minutes. Furthermore, the nouns that they occupied in the first sequence were the most typical words that four- and five- year-old children learned. Verb, adjective, and other words were the last terms they were able to master. Keywords: Psycholinguistics, Vocabulary, Acquisition

English education in Japan has recently been changing to focus on communication skills. The purpose of this research was to identify how the emotional (foreign language enjoyment and foreign language classroom anxiety) and psychological (motivation and self-confidence) factors might differentially stimulate students’ attainment of higher English proficiency in student-centered communicative lessons. The classes included pair/group work with a point-addition system. A questionnaire was filled in by 108 EFL freshmen. A multiple linear regression analysis was calculated, and the results of the questionnaire exhibited that the students who had stronger motivation, self-confidence, and enjoyment could expect to receive higher TOEIC IP scores. The students' essay reports showed that the point-addition system introduced during the research might be a culprit for increasing the anxiety of even students with high English proficiency. Along with devising ways to lower students' anxiety (e.g. not using a stressful point-addition system), teachers are advised to use teaching methods that promote students’ positive emotions (FLE) that create more self-confidence and motivation through more communicative EFL activities.
