With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), its application in language education has gained increasing attention. But up to now, research has largely been devoted to higher learning or English learning in general, without much examination of its application to teaching of oral English at the high school level. Therefore, the following research investigates application of DeepSeek to teaching of oral English at Chinese high school, including its operation, benefit, drawback, and potential developmental path. Both the conducive influence, like the individualized feed-back, teaching of higher learning motivation, and boost of teaching efficiency－in addition to the harmful influence, including over-dependency of the learners of the AI program software and questions over authenticity and formal correctness of AI product, can be identified from the following research. Based on reference to such matters, practical agendas are proposed by the following research, for example, application of equilibrium-oriented teaching methods favorable to autonomy of thoughts, reinforcement of instructor supervision and knowledge competence toward assurance of authenticity, and realization of human-AI co-evaluation to accommodate tech efficiency and human professional competence. The outcomes aspire to contribute to AI-based teaching research by proclaiming the specific existence of the AI program to the teaching of oral English at the high school level, and indicate its potential significance to developing communicative competency and intercultural competence under the AI-partitioned world.

Adolescence is a critical period for mental health development. However, academic pressures, social challenges, and other factors frequently contribute to psychological distress, such as depression and anxiety, among adolescents. This study aims to explore the intervention effects of painting art therapy, with a particular focus on the application and metaphorical use of color, on adolescent depressive symptoms and their underlying mechanisms. The study involves adolescents exhibiting depressive symptoms, who receive individual painting art therapy supplemented by activities focusing on color perception, association, and application. Intervention effectiveness is assessed through multidimensional evaluations, including the analysis of artworks and subjective feedback from participants. Prior research indicates that drawing art therapy significantly alleviates depressive symptoms in adolescents. By employing color as a non-verbal medium, adolescents can more effectively channel and process negative emotions. Color, as a subjective psychological response to the external world, plays a crucial role in emotion regulation through its psychological effects and metaphorical associations. For instance, warm tones (e.g., yellow, orange) are often linked to hope and vitality, contributing to improved mood, whereas cool tones (e.g., gray, blue) may be associated with depression and sadness. The findings suggest that color’s psychological effects are shaped by both innate predispositions and acquired experiences, including cultural background. Future research could further investigate specific color attributes, cross-cultural variations in color symbolism, and the mapping between color and abstract concepts to gain a more comprehensive understanding of color’s potential in psychological interventions.

Beauty short videos are short video content with beauty as the theme, which are spread on new media on the internet. High school students, as social members who have grown up in the Internet era, are currently at a critical stage in the formation of self cognition. Beauty, as a direct way to change one's external image, has led to a continuous increase in attention to beauty-related content. Its fragmented nature is more in line with the current high school students' habit of watching short videos, making beauty short videos one of their main video content. This article starts with the current situation and trend of high school students' use of beauty short videos, as well as their impact on their learning and physical and mental health. It analyzes the positive and negative effects of beauty short videos on high school students' cognitive attitudes, emotional attitudes, and behavioral trends. It also examines the problems that exist in the process of using beauty short videos by high school students, in order to draw attention from society, schools, and families, and provides suggestions and measures for the education of high school students.

With the increasing importance of the social functions of games and the emotional needs of players, the design of in-game communication mechanisms has been widely studied, but the systematic research on the collaborative optimization of multimodal communication is still insufficient. This paper focuses on three main communication methods: voice, text and system feedback, and analyzes their roles and practical problems in emotional connection, teamwork and motivation. Research shows that voice can improve immersion and empathy, but it is prone to harassment; Words are conducive to rational expression and rhythm control, but the efficiency is low. System feedback can stimulate achievement motivation, but may interfere with the game experience. If these contradictions are not properly resolved, it will restrict the depth of players' participation and the quality of experience. Based on this, this paper proposes to build an intelligent voice monitoring and user autonomy mechanism, develop efficient text input and structured expression auxiliary functions, and promote situational adaptive system feedback design, so as to build a more inclusive, efficient and immersive interactive environment while ensuring freedom of communication.

The biodiversity crisis and public participation are core factors in environmental protection, particularly in an era where digital media is widely prevalent, hence making the dissemination of environmental information more diverse. However, despite the important role digital media plays in raising public awareness, it still faces major challenges in driving actual action. In this context, this paper explores how digital media influences the public’s attitude toward biodiversity conservation and exmines the relationship between information dissemination, cognitive development, and the translation of awareness into action. Through literature analysis, case studies, and theoretical deduction, it analyzes how media influences cognition, how cognition drives action, and how multi-channel integration can facilitate this transformation. The results indiecate that different media channels vary in cognitive depth. Specifically, videos enhance sensory cognition, while interactive platforms promote rational thinking. The integration of multiple channels is seen as a powerful method for overcoming the gap between cognition and action.

This study investigates how contemporary women directors challenge and reconfigure the patriarchal logic of the “male gaze” through strategies of haptic visuality and narrative spacing. Using qualitative textual analysis, the study examines cinematography, mise-en-scène, sound design, and the role of silence and omission in shaping spectatorship. The findings reveal that Sciamma’s film generates intersubjective intimacy through reciprocal gazes, tactile imagery, and affective silences, while Triet destabilizes courtroom conventions by withholding visual certainty, emphasizing sound as embodied perception, and foregrounding epistemological gaps. Both films displace the spectator from a passive to an active interpretive position, thereby re-conceptualizing feminist theories of gaze, touch, and narrative. The research concludes that feminist aesthetics are not fixed but context-sensitive: in the romantic genre, they cultivate intimacy and desire; in the courtroom drama, they expose instability and power asymmetries. These results underscore the need to revise feminist film theory in dialogue with contemporary cinematic practice and highlight its continued relevance to cultural politics in the twenty-first century.

It is commonly acknowledged that children's academic achievement is significantly impacted by parenting approaches and overall development. There is a heated discussion on how parents' practices influence kids' academic success since it is hard to measure these effects as quantity. This study focuses on how parental involvement shapes a child's graduation rates, test scores, school attendance and study motivation, and explores the impact of four parenting approaches: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved on children's academic success. This Research adopts a literature review approach, and synthesizes findings from multiple studies to identify patterns and relationships between parenting practices and educational performance. According to the data, authoritative parents strike a balance between warmth and clear expectations, and are most frequently associated with higher degrees, increased academic achievement, and stronger drive. On the other hand, authoritarian parenting is linked to poorer critical thinking abilities and lower self-esteem, but it also frequently results in compliance. Children's academic growth is sometimes negatively impacted by permissive and disengaged parenting methods since these approaches often lack the structure, discipline, and oversight required for long-term success. The degree of engagement in children's education is influenced by a number of factors, including parental stress, cultural background, socioeconomic situation, and education level.

With the continuous development of digital technology, immersive exhibitions have rapidly emerged as a new form of exhibition. Although there are many studies on immersive exhibitions regarding their presentation forms and technological applications, or their role in educating audiences and enhancing audience experience, the impact mechanism of these exhibitions on audience social media communication behavior has not been fully explored. This article, based on the SOR theoretical framework, empirically analyzes how different forms of exhibitions influence audience social media behavior through perceived immersion and perceived enjoyment using a questionnaire survey method. The study found that immersive exhibitions significantly stimulate higher social media communication behaviors compared to traditional display exhibitions, and perceived immersion plays a complete mediating role in this link, while perceived enjoyment, although positively correlated with communication behavior, does not show significant mediating effects. Based on this, the article suggests enhancing the 'shareability' of exhibitions, balancing immersive experiences with content depth, and actively guiding social media communication to enhance the communicative effectiveness and cultural impact of exhibitions.

With the popularity of social media, the correlation between college students' Conspicuous self-presentation and their psychological and relationship outcomes has attracted attention, but the mechanism by which Conspicuous self-presentation affects Virtual Relationship attachment through narcissism remains unclear. This paper was based on an online survey of 100 college students in China in August 2025. It measured Conspicuous self-presentation (9 items), narcissism (18 items, based on NPI-13), and Virtual Relationship attachment (27 items). Gender, age, and average daily time on social media were controlled for. A structural equation model was used, and mediation was tested with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. The results showed that all three variables were significantly positively correlated. After incorporating narcissism, the direct effect of Conspicuous self-presentation on Virtual Relationship attachment remained significant but weakened, while the indirect effect was significant, indicating that narcissism played a partial mediating role. Based on this, this paper suggests that colleges and universities jointly intervene in narcissism and Conspicuous self-presentation in media literacy and psychological counseling, reduce overt showing, and strengthen offline relationship support.

As K-pop’s global influence expands, its presence in China has grown significantly, especially among teenagers. While existing studies have explored K-pop’s digital media mechanisms and cross-cultural communication, most focus on single platforms or fan groups, overlooking the broader ecosystem of Chinese digital media and its challenges. This paper examines the roles of short video, long video, music, and social media platforms in the dissemination of K-pop in China, analyzing how each contributes to public engagement, content depth, commercialization, and cultural integration. Using case analysis and literature review, the study investigates platform-specific strategies, such as viral challenges on short videos, secondary creation on long videos, copyright-driven consumption on music platforms, and fan-driven topic fermentation on social media. Digital media platforms significantly enhance K-pop’s reach and influence in China. However, challenges such as policy restrictions, cultural misalignment, content homogeneity, and local competition hinder sustainable growth. Future development relies on customized content and technological innovation, such as VR and virtual idols, to deepen market resonance.
