An Overview of the Language Planning Situation in Nigeria
This paper examines language planning and policy frameworks in multilingual Nigeria, where English operates alongside indigenous languages in the herculean task of nation-building. The adoption of English as lingua franca in the country, inspite of its alien origin and non-conformity with the socio-cultural nuances of communication therein, is informed by the benefits of the language to the nation, particularly when comprehensive and forward-looking language planning and policies are evolved for the country. In critical domains of nationhood, including social media, conventional media, education and governance, English is functionally potent in individual and group communication. Language planning in Nigeria reveals the sociolinguistic dimensions and implications of language issues; in this regard, phenomena such as the suppression of indigenous languages, language attitudes, divisive potential of language, ethnic resentments, government aparthy, criticisms on language policy frameworks, dominance of major Nigerian languages over minority ones, marginalization of languages and ethnic groups, proposals for good language planning/policies, fear of language loss, etc are brought to the fore. Exploring Morgan’s Speech Community Theory as a framework, this study concludes that language planning and policies in Nigeria should not only accommodate Nigeria’s multilingual realities, but should also be implemented with sincerity of purpose in line with the propects and constraints.

The Professional Development of Rural Primary School Teachers in the Western Sichuan Region under the Background of School Layout Adjustment Research on Digital Support Paths
Under the dual strategic guidance of the digital transformation of education and the revitalization of rural education, the layout adjustment of rural primary schools in the western Sichuan region presents a unique pattern of parallel development of clustered education and small-scale schools providing a safety guarantee. This not only brings opportunities for resource integration for teachers’ professional development but also gives rise to new challenges in digital adaptation. Based on the current situation of digital support for the professional development of rural primary school teachers in the western Sichuan region, this study employs research methods such as literature review, field investigation, and interview to systematically analyze the core characteristics of teachers’ role transformation and demand upgrading after layout adjustment, and reveal the practical predicaments of current digital support in terms of hardware configuration, resource supply, quality improvement, and mechanism construction. Combining theories such as lifelong learning and learning communities, a digital support mechanism integrating hardware balance guarantee, precise resource supply, hierarchical cultivation of qualities, and collaborative empowerment of mechanisms is constructed, providing practical paths and theoretical references for the high-quality development of rural education and the professionalization of the teaching staff in the western Sichuan region.

A Study on the Approaches to Integrated Unit Teaching of Junior High English from the Perspective of Deep Learning
Against the backdrop of the quality-oriented reform guided by the Compulsory Education English Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition), junior high school English teaching is facing an urgent need to transition from fragmented knowledge transmission to integrated quality cultivation. Deep learning theory focuses on higher-order thinking cultivation, meaningful knowledge construction and situational knowledge application, which effectively resolves the superficial and fragmented drawbacks prevailing in current junior high school English unit teaching. Adopting literature review, questionnaire investigation and action research methods, this study clarifies the core connotations of deep learning and integrated unit teaching, summarizes relevant theoretical basis, and identifies practical problems in frontline English instruction. On this basis, it constructs a four-step teaching framework including goal anchoring, content integration, activity-driven learning and evaluation guarantee, which is further verified through targeted unit teaching practice and case analysis. The findings demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively incorporates deep learning ideas into whole-unit teaching procedures, improves the systematicness and practical efficiency of English instruction, and facilitates the all-round development of students’ core English literacy. This research offers feasible practical strategies and theoretical implications for the competency-oriented curriculum reform of junior high school English education.

Religious Organizations as Targets of Ideological Violence in the United States: A Political Perspective
This paper discusses the threats and violence against certain ethnic groups in terms of their faiths, doctrines of religion, or belief systems. Unfortunately, people or worshipers are dead because some crazed individuals believe that religious differences justify violence. But such sentiments are so much nonsense. Also, in this regard, we should always be aware of the potential threats of violence on places of worship almost everywhere in the United States. Or do we have instincts for religious violence that is inviolable or intractable? To be certain, in recent years, religious violence across the nation has surged when it comes to killing people of different faiths. Therefore, we must try to help crazy zealots and hateful people move beyond what they think is true about different religions. This is all to say that violence should never be tolerated when it comes to attacking and destroying places of (religious) worship, or where believers congregate, no matter a person’s beliefs or the circumstances.

A Study of Cultural and Philosophical Resources in The Gay Genius from the Perspective of Multisource Transwriting
This paper takes Lin Yutang’s The Gay Genius as the research object, based on the theory of multisource transwriting, and explores the translation and rewriting practice of multiple strands of Chinese philosophical and cultural traditions in the portrayal of Su Shi. By analyzing the relationship between “translation” (the transformation based on Su Shi’s original text) and “rewriting” (the translator’s creative supplementation) in the book, it is found that Lin Yutang adopts a strategy of translation and rewriting integration and creative interpretation. He not only retains the core of the text through literal translation, but also realizes cross-cultural transmission through “rewriting” behaviors such as cultural adaptation and image reconstruction. The research shows that this interactive translation and rewriting is not only faithful to the phased characteristics of Su Shi’s thought, but also successfully shapes a Su Shi image with both cultural depth and dissemination power through the creative play of the translator’s subjectivity, providing a typical example for the cross-contextual interpretation of traditional Chinese spirit.

Practical Exploration of Integrating Career Planning Competitions into Mental Health Education in Universities
Mental health education is an inherent requirement of comprehensive quality education. In the new era, it is urgent for universities to innovate work methods to balance academic course education, career education, and student mental health education. As a key position for cultivating young students, universities should fully value and leverage the positive significance of career planning competitions for student mental health, establish environmental courses to create a harmonious atmosphere for students’ physical and mental growth, develop activity courses to guide students to show their individual charm, explore evaluation systems to encourage teachers and students to strive for excellence, and help students establish correct views on employment, career selection, and professionalism, as well as make good career planning.
