Precision medicine approaches such as gene editing via clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) and their associated protein (Cas-9) are revolutionizing treatment strategies for complex diseases such as Alzheimer and cancer. In this review, we explore the application of CRISPR-Cas9 in advancing therapies for these conditions, as well as its potential in targeting senescent cells. Since the risk of Alzheimer’s disease is strongly associated with genetic mutations and variations, the use of gene editing technologies to rectify these genetic errors by modifying disease-associated proteins becomes relevant. For cancer, to enhance immunotherapy approaches, modification of immune cells have been utilized to improve their anti-tumor efficacy. Additionally, the review also investigates the role of CRISPR-Cas9 in targeting senescent cells, which are implicated in both aging-related disorders and cancer progression. While challenges remain in introducing delivery methods and specificity, CRISPR-Cas9 represents a significant advancement in developing targeted, personalized treatments for these challenging health issues.

This paper explores the role-play technique and assesses its advantages in enhancing EFL learners' speaking skills and other language learning aspects through authentic English communication. A qualitative approach, using observation as the primary data collection method, was employed to examine the benefits of role-play in language classrooms. The study’s observations involved six pairs of 12 Vietnamese first-year students from Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, enrolled in the Basic English module. Observation was the key data collection instrument. The key findings from observing the students' role-play performances revealed that role-play as a teaching technique can boost speaking and communication skills, foster a supportive environment for active learning, encourage collaboration, enhance cultural understanding, enhance problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as well as make learning more engaging and memorable. Consequently, role-play not only enhances language instruction but also cultivates positive behaviors, attitudes, and overall student engagement with learning beyond English.

English: State anxiety is a negative emotion frequently experienced by individuals on a daily basis in situations where performance is required and where individuals feel a threat of failure or embarrassment. It has been increasingly in the focus of research due to its pervasive negative effect on academic performance, self-esteem, and the general well-being of students. Even though state anxiety in relation to public speaking is not always severe enough to be diagnosed as a social anxiety disorder, it is prevalent among the student population and causes a significant obstacle to academic performance and student well-being. This study examines the causes, treatment approaches and treatment success of state anxiety in public speaking by analyzing previous empirical studies, with the aim of identifying the most effective treatment approach. Results show that state anxiety in public speaking can be successfully tackled with emotion reappraisal, cognitive-behavioral group counselling, and embodied approaches. A comprehensive integrated literature review methodology explores each study's methods and contributions to state anxiety in relation to public speaking research and academic discourse. Sažetak Anksioznost stanja negativna je emocija koju pojedinci često doživljavaju svakodnevno u situacijama u kojima se zahtijeva učinak i u kojima pojedinci osjećaju prijetnju od neuspjeha ili neugodnosti. Sve je više u fokusu istraživanja zbog svog sveprisutnog negativnog učinka na akademsku izvedbu, samopoštovanje i opću dobrobit učenika.

The facts that teachers asked some questions in English speaking classes, and students knew the answers but didn’t respond because they didn’t know how to express their opinions and experiences in English and students kept discussing some topics together in Vietnamese made the author concerned about major English students’ speaking skills. The purpose of this study is to find out how students perceive about speaking English with peers and their attitudes towards this method. This research employed forty English majors from integrated-skill-2 classes at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade (HUIT). A closed-ended questionnaire and Likert scale were used to gather the data, and a quantitative research method was used to analyze it. Speaking practice daily with peers is a highly useful approach to improving speaking skills, according to the data gathered. The study also indicates that students have positive attitudes toward English conversation practice. Additionally, peer interaction gives students confidence and meets their need to speak in front of an audience. Besides, the study demonstrates that through peer conversations, students’ vocabulary increases significantly, and they find it much easier to articulate their thoughts and feelings more effectively.

This study looks at what students need in English for tourism classes at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade (HUIT). It shows that there are three ways to do a needs analysis: target situation analysis(TSA), present situation analysis(PSA), and holistic analysis. As part of this study, the author polled 180 students online to find out what HUIT English majors need for their English for tourism learning. The results show that the students think they need to work on being able to communicate better in English and learning more about tourism. They plan to include more project work to give students more chances to use the language in real life. The results from this study can be used to modify the present ESP courses to meet the needs of students learning English for tourism at HUIT.

Confronted with the challenges of an interconnected work environment, students often have difficulties in connecting theoretical knowledge with practical communication skills. This article examines the potential of business English coursebooks to be reimagined as transforming tools that equip students to traverse the business environment effortlessly. Previously seen as purely theoretical resources, these coursebooks may now be recognized as valuable assets for students. We contend that meticulously crafted coursebooks, when used proficiently, may serve as gateways to developing essential communication aptitudes, cultural consciousness, and pragmatic negotiation proficiencies. Through interesting case studies, interactive activities, and simulations, students obtain genuine experience in composing emails, making presentations, and participating in negotiations, increasing confidence and enhancing their employability potential. In conclusion, we emphasize the many advantages of using coursebooks not just as reservoirs of information but also as dynamic tools for molding self-assured and accomplished corporate communicators. This article only concentrates on the compliance of the coursebook to the aims of the course of the English major students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade.

Through interesting case studies, interactive activities, and simulations, students obtain genuine experience in composing emails, making presentations, and participating in negotiations, increasing confidence and enhancing their employability potential. In conclusion, we emphasize the many advantages of using coursebooks not just as reservoirs of information but also as dynamic tools for molding self-assured and accomplished corporate communicators.
