The participants of this study comprised 80 researchers working at a research institute in Pathum Thani. The questionnaire data were about the challenges and professional needs in English language used at workplace. The data analysis performed in Microsoft Excel included calculating frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. The findings derived from interviews were analyzed using the Three Cs Analysis Technique by Litchman (2013). The results revealed that all four skills were perceived as moderate level of challenges. In terms of professional needs, the researchers had high needs for listening and reading skills.

The theoretical framework for the textual analysis and frequency counting was based on the six maxims of politeness proposed by Leech (1983). The data consisted of Taylor Swift's commencement speech at New York University and Chadwick Boseman's at Howard University. The data was collected from the official YouTube channels of each University and analyzed by using textual analysis to determine the type of politeness strategies. The maxims of politeness were counted and revealed as frequency and percentage. Subsequently, the results were compared to find the differences applications. The study results revealed that six maxims were employed in both commencement speeches. Generosity maxim was the most frequently applied in Taylor Swift’s speech while Approbation maxim was the most frequently applied in Chadwick Boseman’s speech. Despite the differences in dominant maxims, both speeches shared the same top three maxims: Tact, Generosity, and Approbation, indicating the similar purpose of the speeches.

However, despite these efforts, the birth rate has continued to decline in recent years, as evidenced by statistics from 2018 to 2021. The research aim of this survey study was to investigate and analyze the factors that impact fertility intention in Sichuan province, China. The population of Sichuan province was selected as the study sample. By reviewing existing research results, a hypothesis was proposed to determine the factors that affect the birth rate. A random sampling survey method was used, and an existing data analysis software was used to analyze the collected samples using methods, including reliability, validity, and linear regression. The analysis revealed that rearing costs, social welfare, career development, and social concepts significantly influenced fertility intention. Among these factors, career development, social beliefs, and social welfare emerged as important predictors of fertility intention with the highest value of descriptive statistics. The findings indicated that there was a significant relationship between rearing cost, social welfare, career development, social concept, and fertility intention, thus achieving the research objectives. The results could be used as a reference for the government to develop public policies aimed at improving fertility intention and provide a research foundation for future studies.
