As part of efforts to enhance students' skills in understanding and using vocabulary through scientific and interactive methods, students Abdulwahab Jabir and Mohammed Waseem conducted a workshop titled "Public and Private Vocabulary in English" under the supervision of Lecturer Zainab Kareem, and in the presence of Dr. Salam Hassan Maki Al-Asadi, Head of the English Department, along with several faculty members and students.<br />The workshop focused on the concept of public (general) and private (specific) vocabulary, highlighting that every word has two aspects:<br />• The public aspect: A meaning that can be easily understood by everyone.<br />• The private aspect: A meaning that requires further explanation or in-depth study to be fully grasped.<br />The students presented practical examples from daily life, illustrating how these types of vocabulary are used in different contexts. This approach helped attendees comprehend the subtle distinctions between surface-level and deeper meanings of words.<br />Sustainability in Education<br />This workshop aligns with Al-Mustaqbal University's commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:<br />• Goal 4 (Quality Education): By providing interactive workshops that help students develop their linguistic and communication skills.<br />• Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth): Through fostering critical thinking and linguistic analysis skills, which enhance students' career opportunities.<br />• Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals): By strengthening collaboration between students and faculty members to deliver impactful academic activities.<br />At the conclusion of the workshop, Dr. Salam Hassan Maki Al-Asadi, Head of the English Department, praised the students' initiative, emphasizing that such activities enhance students' critical thinking skills and deepen their understanding of the English language.
