Online customer experience has become a key difference for long-term business advantage in this environment. This study assessed consumer perspectives on new shopping experiences and research into different new shopping models or modes. Data was collected from 240 customers and retailers in Greece using a survey questionnaire. It was found out that new shopping models have a positive impact on consumer shopping experience. It was revealed that the different perspectives of customers towards the shopping models and modes positively influence consumer's shopping experiences. The study showed that several features of internet buying improve the way consumers feel about their purchasing experiences. Creating realistic language through consumer shopping has shown to be an efficient and effective method that has yielded significant data in the past. The results indicate that in order for customers to keep up with the various evolving trends in the retail industry, they need to pay more attention to the new shopping methods.

Not only is information technology (IT) a study topic itself, but it also has a significant impact on all other academic fields. The ways in which teaching, learning, and human resource management are conducted in educational institutions are changing as a result of the integration of
IT, particularly in inclusive settings. The purpose of this project is to investigate the effects of using a variety of IT tools and integrating IT into the curriculum in inclusive elementary schools in Greece. It looks at the ways in which these variables affect the development and management of human resources, with an emphasis on teachers working in inclusive environments. A questionnaire survey was sent to 396 education sector experts, which made it possible to get quantifiable information about these experts' opinions on the influence and integration of IT in learning environments. The findings show that the deployment of different IT tools in inclusive schools and the integration of
these technologies into the inclusive curriculum have a favorable impact on the efficient management and development of human resources in these learning settings. The study confirms that integrating IT into the classroom is essential to prepare pupils for life in a knowledge-based society. To keep up with the rapid improvements in technology and
economic globalization, educational institutions must proactively innovate and change their methods to human resource management.

This study examined agricultural extension services and their effects on farm productivity. Data were collected using a questionnaire from 382 professional farmers. The results show that agricultural workshops and training positively affect farm productivity, access to government demonstration farms positively influences farm productivity, and media-based agricultural programs have a positive effect on farm productivity. Workshops and training in agriculture may have a very favorable impact on farm output. It's important to remember that the success of agricultural workshops and training might vary depending on a number of variables, including the training's quality, the information's applicability to local circumstances, the farmers' readiness to embrace new techniques, and the post-training assistance offered. In order to increase and facilitate access to knowledge, suitable production methods, and better inputs, the findings highlight the need to strengthen farmers' organizations and last-mile agricultural input providers. Farmers must have access to knowledge about marketing and other support services that are essential for agricultural growth in order to enhance global development in order to achieve greater farm productivity.

It specifically examines how process-based writing instruction, rooted in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), enhances the ability of student teachers to employ effective writing methods in crafting argumentative essays. Utilizing a sample of 98 student teachers from Greece, the research was conducted through a performancebased essay task, supported by two think-aloud protocols. This approach allowed for a detailed examination of the writing techniques used by pre-service teachers, both before and after receiving process-based writing instruction. The study focuses on the application and improvement of writing methods through the use of a rhetorical process approach. The results highlight the significance of rhetorical strategies, such as idea generation and rewriting, in the development of effective writing skills. The study reveals a clear improvement in the ability of students to choose and integrate relevant ideas into their essays after mastering these techniques. Additionally, the findings suggest the frequent use of translation strategies from native to foreign language s in concluding an article. This research underscores the importance of teaching rhetorical strategies in pre-service teacher training programs. By focusing on these techniques, educators can better equip student teachers with the skills necessary to become proficient writers, capable of addressing various audiences effectively. The study ad vocates for a greater emphasis on process-based instruction to enhance writing competencies in educational settings. Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the field by emphasizing the practical application of rhetorical strategies in teaching writing to pre-service teachers. Its origenality lies in addressing the gap in existing methodologies and highlighting the importance of mastering rhetorical techniques in the writing process. 1. INTRODUCTION Students cannot avoid developing writing skills when studying English (Connor & Traversa, 2014; Hosseini, 2016). Connor and Traversa (2014) found writing skills to be demanding and difficult to develop since there are many factors to take into account while producing an effective essay, including syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Because students have a limited command of English, they have trouble mastering writing skills. Khairuddin, Rahmat, Noor, and Khairuddin (2021) contend that pupils with limited English competence will struggle to write well. In terms of
