The Analysis of Semantic Components and the Patterns of Lexicalization of "Discussing" Verbs in EAP Writing
With the aim of enhancing teaching instruction in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) writing classrooms, the study investigates the semantic components and the patterns of lexicalization of "discussing" verbs under an EAP writing context. Eleven words related to the word "discuss" were collected from Thesaurus of the British Academic Written English Corpus. Based on Talmy’s theory of lexicalization (1991, 2000), the "discussing" verbs, as realisation event words, were categorised into four different groups according to their conflation patterns. Group 1 comprises words with the most frequently occurring conflation pattern [Motion + Goal + X], while Group 2, 3, and 4 contain verbs with the conflation pattern of [Motion + Manner + X], [Motion + Degree + X], and [Motion + Figure + X], respectively. Teaching implications drew from the categorisation of the "discussing" verbs, suggesting teachers paying attention to the semantic entities between and within each group, thus bringing learners a clearer understanding of the written context of using the "discussing" verbs.

Rethink Cultural Self-confidence and Tolerance from the Perspective of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions
The power of culture matters and cultural self-confidence is needed to enhance belonging of nations. At the same time, various cultures in the world constitute a colorful space with different values interacted which are not superior, or inferior contributed by cultural tolerance. The recognition of cultural differences for handling cultural self-confidence and tolerance can be enhanced by explaining the theory of cultural dimensions proposed by Dutch psychologist Greet Hofstede revealing the underlying logic and manifestations of cultures. With the recognition of different cultures, how to correctly view them then is essentially a study of the concepts of cultural self-confidence and tolerance. In short, be confident and firm in one's own culture, and to be tolerant and respectful of other cultures. The two are by no means in conflict with each other, but are compatible, and it’s incorrect and even dangerous to fall into the mire of ethnocentrism or worship of foreign things.

Research on Behavioral Examination Evaluation Method Based on Multi-Dimensional Objectives
Traditional examinations take the total score as the core evaluation index, which can only roughly reflect students' mastery of knowledge. The evaluation standard is single and lacks in-depth analysis, making it difficult to meet the needs of personalized learning for accurate grasp of students' individual situations. This paper proposes a behavioral examination evaluation method based on knowledge objectives, ability objectives, and quality objectives. By designing two types of multiple-choice questions (with and without correct answers), it examines different dimensional objectives respectively. Through analyzing students' choice behaviors, an analysis report covering the three-dimensional objectives is generated. This report can not only provide a basis for personalized teaching but also serve as the core evaluation basis for further education selection such as the college entrance examination and postgraduate entrance examination. By analyzing the matching degree between the report and admission requirements, screening and ranking can be realized, achieving precise matching between students' major applications and colleges' enrollment, thus providing a new direction for the reform of educational evaluation systems.

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is vital for cultivating globally competent graduates in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). However, current ESP teaching is limited by outdated content, rigid pedagogy, and low motivation. Using Longyan University as a case study, this paper proposes a six-dimensional reform — covering curriculum design, content renewal, pedagogy, faculty development, assessment, and motivation — based on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) principles to enhance students’ professional and international communication competence.

Innovation-Driven Implementation Mechanism for Cultivating Normal-University Students' Interdisciplinary Teaching Competence
Interdisciplinary teaching competence is crucial for normal-university students to become outstanding teachers. Currently, its development is hindered by conceptual bias, insufficient guidance, disorganized teaching processes, and an inadequate evaluation system. An innovation-driven mechanism should establish a multi-disciplinary collaborative talent-training model, strengthen institutional support, adopt a student-centered teacher-education concept, reform teaching organization, build a student-centered, multi-subject collaborative education system, develop a curriculum-based training framework, overhaul the evaluation system, and improve the overall implementation environment.
