Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study is an attempt to investigate the relationship between exposure to the native culture and the learners’ willingness to learn the language. The study follows a mixed-method methodology using a questionnaire with closed-ended items and open-ended questions. Responses to the questionnaire were collected from 54 female students at a public university in Saudi Arabia. In general, the questionnaire results are significant, and indicate that there is a relationship between exposure to the native culture and the learners’ willingness to learn the language. The main finding is that being exposed to a certain culture makes the learners more willing to learn the language of that culture. Moreover, the findings of the study indicate the importance of adopting social media networking to assist in the process of integrating culture into teaching English as a foreign language. Furthermore, based on the findings of this study, we encourage teachers to allocate as much time as possible to introducing cultural aspects in foreign language classrooms with the aid of social media.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
