As a core foundational course of the discipline, Fundamentals of IoT Hardware urgently requires systematic reform in its content structure, teaching methodology, and practical approach. Based on the teaching reform practices at Hainan Normal University, this study constructs a modular teaching content system guided by a comprehensive “Device–Model–Circuit–System” knowledge framework. Task-driven and inquiry-based teaching methods are introduced, and the LTspice simulation platform is integrated to enhance the course’s systematicity and hands-on nature. Through two rounds of pilot reforms, significant improvements were observed in students’ learning motivation, system-level understanding, and engineering capabilities, alongside a general increase in teaching satisfaction. The results indicate that this reform path effectively addresses the problems of fragmentation, weak practical engagement, and single-mode evaluation in traditional courses, offering valuable insights for curriculum development under the emerging paradigm of “New Engineering.”</p>2025-04-28T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/IEF/article/view/10395The Characteristics of the English Translation of Chinese Literary Works in the Context of the New Era2025-05-09T08:44:56+08:00Jingquan Huangteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>Under the background of the new era, the English translation of Chinese literary works presents diversified characteristics. With the acceleration of globalization and the international dissemination of Chinese culture, more and more Chinese literary works have been translated into English and entered the world. In this process, translators not only need to accurately convey the meaning of the original text, but also need to take into account cultural differences, so that the translation can not only retain the style of the original work, but also be accepted by foreign readers. This paper aims to explore the main characteristics of the English translation of Chinese literary works under the background of the new era and analyze its unique manifestations in terms of language, culture, and aesthetics.</p>2025-04-28T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/IEF/article/view/10495A Study on the Influence of Cultural Differences on Purchase Intentions of Chinese and Japanese Consumers: Centered on Chinese Face Culture and Japanese Shame Culture2025-05-09T08:44:49+08:00Qiaocun Yangteam@bbwpublisher.com<p>This study primarily employs the theoretical framework of “self-concept” from consumer psychology and behavior research to systematically explore the differential impacts on purchase intentions between Chinese and Japanese consumers through literature analysis, case studies, and comparative research methods. The findings reveal that “face culture”, driven by luxury consumption and conspicuous consumption, significantly influences Chinese consumers’ purchase intentions. To enhance social status and gain recognition, Chinese consumers often align their self-concept with product images by purchasing high-end brands. In contrast, Japanese consumers are deeply influenced by “shame culture”, exhibiting stable and strong purchase intentions in areas such as personal image management and cosmetics consumption. Driven by group orientation and collectivist values, Japanese consumers are more prone to conformist consumption tendencies. Theoretically, this study deepens the understanding of the cultural dimensions of purchase intentions among Chinese and Japanese consumers, while also providing new perspectives and methodological insights for cross-cultural consumer behavior research.</p>2025-04-28T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s)https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/IEF/article/view/10397A Review of Comparative Studies on the Similarities and Differences between Situational Teaching Method and Task-Based Teaching Method2025-05-09T08:44:54+08:00Xi Li2938998948@qq.comXiangyi Ci2938998948@qq.com<p>Both situational language teaching and task-based language teaching occupy important positions in modern education. Situational language teaching relies on creating realistic scenarios to evoke emotional resonance among students and drive the internalization of knowledge. Task-based language teaching, on the other hand, is guided by clear tasks, urging students to master knowledge and skills in the process of completing tasks. Although these two teaching methods share similarities in terms of goal orientation, student autonomy, and practicality, they each have their own focus. This article summarizes relevant literature, outlining the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and effects of the two teaching methods. It explores their potential future developments in English education, aiming to provide theoretical guidance and practical reference for English educators and to promote the optimization and innovation of English teaching methods.</p>2025-04-28T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s)
