2025-10-24T08:47:43+01:00

This study analyses dynamic relationships between foreign financial inflows specifically external debt and foreign aid with economic growth in Tanzania from 1990 to 2024 using Granger causality, Johansen cointegration tests, and a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The unidirectional causality of economic growth to foreign aid according to the Granger causality test indicates that GDP growth enhances the ability of Tanzania to receive foreign aid due to perhaps increased donor confidence. But foreign aid and external debt hardly affect short-run economic growth, suggesting their effects on GDP during the short run are negligible. Support for long-run equilibrium of the macroeconomic variables being considered comes from Johansen cointegration results, warranting the use of VECM for both short- and long-term analysis. VECM results further suggest inefficient use of capital is a bane to short-run GDP growth, whereas foreign aid and external debt remain statistically insignificant in the short run. Sustained foreign aid inflows and their positive response to lagged GDP underscore the role of long-term growth in bringing aid. Moreover, the study finds a high correlation between foreign aid and external debt, with environmental degradation as a leading cause connected to increased debt levels, depicting the complex interplay between economic, financial, and ecological conditions. Robust diagnostic tests establish the validity and reliability of VECM estimates. In conclusion, the findings underscore the significance of policies that are geared towards promoting the efficiency in capital, effective management of debt, foreign aid sustainability, and environmental integration to achieve Tanzania's long-term stability and growth in the economy.

In the process of globalization, English remains an international language, while the international status and influence of Chinese are also increasing with the enhancement of China's economic strength. Strong bilingual proficiency in Chinese and English plays a crucial role in telling China's stories well and effectively communicating China's voice. From the perspective of English glocalization and based on the teaching practice of a bilingual patriotic education club course, this study adopts a combination of classroom tests and questionnaires to explore the acquisition effectiveness of English dramas based on Chinese myths and idioms in middle school classrooms. The research finds that the teaching of English dramas based on Chinese myths and idioms has achieved significant results in middle school classrooms. During the process of rehearsing and performing English dramas, students need to continuously practice pronunciation, intonation, grammar, and other language knowledge, thereby improving their English oral expression and listening comprehension skills, i.e., enhancing their language ability. Presenting traditional Chinese myths and idioms through the form of English drama not only allows students to learn English but also deepens their understanding and identification with excellent traditional Chinese culture, enhancing their national pride and cultural confidence. English drama teaching involves multiple aspects, such as teamwork, role-playing, emotional expression, etc., all of which help to improve students' comprehensive qualities and abilities. The combination of excellent traditional Chinese culture with modern English learning can stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm for learning, making them more actively participate in English learning.
