It explores how cinema acts as a medium for cultural exchange, fostering understanding across linguistic and cultural boundaries. Through audiovisual translation, particularly subtitling and dubbing, films become accessible to global audiences, bridging diverse cultural identities. The paper reviews the evolution of translation theories, from literal approaches to intercultural methods. It highlights the challenges of conveying cultural expressions and nuances in subtitles, emphasizing the translator's role as both a linguistic and cultural mediator. The study advocates for intercultural competence in translation to improve dialogue and reduce cultural misunderstandings in an increasingly globalized world.

In education, AI has generated significant excitement among students for its potential to enhance learning experiences. However, concerns about overreliance on AI temper this enthusiasm, as it may undermine the development of critical thinking skills. Numerous studies have highlighted the risks associated with students' excessive use of generative AI (GAI) in academic tasks, noting its potential to diminish cognitive abilities. However, the optimal use of AI to enhance students' critical thinking skills remains underresearched. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the question: How does generative AI influence students' critical thinking, self-efficacy, and decision-making? This study aims to explore the synergic relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence in augmenting essential thinking skills among students and building upon their existing cognitive resources through self-efficacy, learning motivation, and decision-making. Specifically, it explores the cause-and-effect connections among GAI, self-efficacy, decision-making, learning motivation, and critical thinking skills. A quantitative methodology used an online questionnaire to collect responses from 165 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students. Statistical analyses, including bootstrapping techniques, were conducted to examine direct and indirect effects. The results revealed that GAI has a significant positive influence on self-efficacy, learning motivation, decision-making, and critical thinking skills. In turn, self-efficacy, learning motivation, and decision-making significantly impact critical thinking skills. The mediating results indicated that GAI can indirectly boost students' critical thinking by enhancing self-efficacy, learning motivation, and decisionmaking. This suggests that AI capabilities can transform the cognitive learning process.

One of the most notable examples is ChatGPT-4, an advanced language model that is increasingly being integrated into language education, particularly in the field of translation studies. This evolution is reshaping not only how translation is practiced, but also how it is taught to students in higher education.

However, because TikTok is a new platform, the literature on its potential as a knowledge source is limited. In this study, we will attempt to investigate the educational value of TikTok and its potential for microlearning. Today, TikTok has become underrepresented in the education and social networking service (SNS) literature as a new emerging platform. Although it is primarily a source of entertainment, studies indicate that the platform also contains educational videos. We present an educational innovation in which TikTok, a social media platform based on creating and sharing 15-second to 3-minute videos that witnessed a significant breakthrough during the COVID-19 pandemic, is used as an educational tool. A quantitative methodology was used, utilizing an online questionnaire to collect responses from 153 master students from five different fields in the English department, of the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences in Morocco, to unravel their perceptions of TikTok as an educational tool and assess the platform's usefulness for enhancing their learning performance using the TAM model (Technology Acceptance Theory). The findings of the study revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitudes, and content richness significantly and positively influence behavioral intentions to use TikTok as a learning tool, particularly for providing short, bite-sized educational content.
