Abstract

This study adopts a descriptive correlation research design and applies various statistical techniques, such as frequency analysis, ranking, percentage calculation, weighted average determination, independent sample tests, the Pearson correlation coefficient and simple linear regression, to investigate how teachers’ understanding of English education policies affects their English learning ability. The survey results show that teachers’ mastery of English education policies, including their understanding of policy content, policy formulation purposes, policy language and policy development trends, can increase students’ learning motivation. In addition, students’ personal motivation, starting point of teacher education, career foothold, society and parents’ expectations also have an impact on students’ learning. However, teachers’ understanding of English education policies has a low correlation with demographic characteristics such as age, gender and length of service. Therefore, teachers’ understanding of policies is not related to their age. Teachers should pay attention to and understand policies to better promote students’ English language acquisition.

Keywords : English Education Policy, Students’ Motivation, Language Acquisition, Pedagogy.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
