On the basis of the framework of Perceptual Assimilation Model connected to speech perception, this paper reports on a study of the relationship between the experience of L1 (Chinese) and L2 (English) production from the point of lexical stress level. Chinese EFL speakers were recruited for this study. All the participants were required to read 20 words in the form of English, of which the lexical stress was recorded so as to make further analysis and comparison. The study indicates that the biggest challenge for Chinese EFL learners is the misplacement of word stress. It often occurs in polysyllabic words, and there is a strong tendency of stress shift on the second syllable. The dominant reason for the misplacement is that the second or the latter syllable is frequently stressed in mandarin dissyllables. This implies that Chinese EFL learners should lay more emphasis on phonological awareness of L2 and sufficient supply of L2 auditory input should also be assured in order to maintain the quality of perception and production in stress acquisition.

This paper mainly discusses the application and impact of AI tools in vocational college students' career planning and employment preparation in Chinese Mainland. Through a review and analysis of relevant literature, this article found that artificial intelligence tools can provide students with more information and assistance, thereby improving their career cognition and employment competitiveness.

Therefore, the government and teaching departments should strengthen the education of career planning and employment preparation, improve the artificial intelligence system, establish personalized service mode and other measures to provide more comprehensive and personalized career recommendation and employment services for higher vocational students in Chinese Mainland.

This study explores the experiences and perceptions of Chinese postgraduate students in the UK regarding online learning, focusing on the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect qualitative data, which were analyzed thematically. The findings reveal positive perceptions of online learning, challenges related to technology and infrastructure, the significance of social interaction and collaboration, and the limited impact of teaching quality on student satisfaction. The study emphasizes the importance of the CoI framework in designing effective online learning environments. Limitations include a small sample size and potential bias. Future research should involve larger and more diverse samples, investigate different teaching strategies, and enhance student agency and self-regulated learning in online education. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the applicability of the CoI framework and its potential for improving online learning experiences.
