Nurul Islameditor@eajournals.org<em>Islam maintained a sound relationship with early modern England, while the former shared political, diplomatic, commercial, cultural, and religious affairs with the latter. This paper aims at investigating the commercial, cultural and religious affairs encountered by Islam and Elizabethan England. This paper also focuses on the contribution of the Muslim world in building 16<sup>th</sup> century England. The findings reveal that early modern Britons enjoyed complete freedom to travel to Islamic countries and got business access. The findings also reveal that in the 16<sup>th</sup>-century Muslim world, people of different religions, including Christianity and Jews, lived harmoniously in a common geographical boundary. In conclusion, Islam played a vital role in building early modern England. Overall, the present Muslim leaders should come forward to redeeming the sweet relationship, once enjoyed by Islam with England, and contributing significantly in re-building the relationship with the West, especially Britain.</em>2025-04-06T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) Array European Journal of English Language and Literature Studieshttps://elisjournals.org/index.php/ejells/article/view/664Teaching Advanced German Vocabulary Through Youtube Streaming: A Classroom-Based Action Research Study2025-05-29T13:54:50+00:00Iuliia Bogatyrevaeditor@eajournals.org<em>This study investigates the effectiveness of YouTube live streaming as an instructional tool for teaching advanced-level conversational German. It centers on the design and didactic adaptation of live sessions with native speakers aged 18–22, integrated into a third-year university course. Learners engaged in interactive, vocabulary-focused tasks including lexical extraction, dictionary work, and creative application. Data from assessments and student feedback revealed significant improvement in lexical competence, listening skills, and cultural awareness. The findings suggest live streaming offers a powerful, immersive tool for enhancing real-world language use and learner engagement.</em>2025-04-20T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) Array European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies
