The aim of this study is to investigate how postgraduate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students perceive the impact of the Postgraduate Professional Diploma in Teaching program on promoting effective education for sustainable development (ESD). The study employed a descriptive approach, involving 228 participants. The study employed a 28-item questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics software. The findings suggest that participants believe the program employs strategic actions and policies to achieve its long-term development goals for effective English teaching. The results also showed that participants place a high value on the program because it encourages innovative efforts to enhance the quality of learning, provides them with a range of assessment tools to help teach English effectively in the long term, and offers students opportunities to practice feedback techniques that enhance learning in the classroom. Furthermore, because participants were exposed to a pre-service training program in an effective manner, the results demonstrated statistically significant differences among participants regarding the program's impact on promoting effective ESD based on the study's variables. According to the study, it is also necessary to incorporate sustainable development concerns into English instruction and provide participants with information about the benefits of sustainable development.
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of utilizing interactive e-books in improving the legal document composition skills of Arabic-speaking law students. Proficiency in legal document composition is a vital skill for aspiring legal professionals, yet it often presents a formidable challenge for students. Methodology/design/approach: Employing a quasi-experimental approach, this research assesses the impact of interactive e-books as a tool for enhancing writing skills, with a specific focus on Arabic-speaking students from the Faculty of Law at Mansoura University, Egypt during the academic year 2021-2022. The participants were divided into two groups: a control group consisting of 20 students and an experimental group comprising 20 students. Results and Discussion: The study's findings indicate that the group exposed to the experimental treatment, which involved the use of interactive e-books, outperformed the control group in enhancing their legal document composition skills. The interactive features embedded within the e-books, including immediate feedback and progress monitoring, proved highly effective in bolstering the participants' legal document composition abilities. Statistical analysis revealed a noteworthy difference between the two groups, with the experimental group demonstrating superior performance at a significance level of 0.05. Implications: These results have significant implications for both law students aiming to improve their legal document composition skills and curriculum designers seeking to enhance the educational experience in legal document composition.
