This paper is about transformative trends in education, exploring learning, teaching methodologies, and management of school leadership, which will redefine education in the next ten years and beyond. The concept of personalized learning, the integration of technology in study activities, and the reform of leadership from the traditional, routine-oriented style into the more open, adaptive one are the critical issues of the research currently being conducted. These changes referring to personal learning differences, lifelong learning, and collaborative environment are meant to make them more evolved or advanced. Through the analysis, teachers being purely instructors changed to facilitators of learning, cultural responsiveness to teaching was emphasized, and the impossibility of attaining good outcomes without digitalization was brought into view. On the other hand, transformational leadership is especially relevant for change management with respect to community participation and data-based decision-making. This view of all angles on the future shows how the education systems that tend to be more flexible and diverse, as well as the ones that are better suited to meet all the diverse learning needs of all students, are the ones to thrive in this new global paradigm.

Syntactic priming plays a crucial role in language teaching and learning. This paper reviews studies on syntactic priming among Chinese English learners over the past decade, highlighting the various research paradigms employed, such as picture-description paradigm, sentence-fragment completion paradigm and continuation paradigm, as well as their respective advantages and disadvantages. It also delves into three key factors that influence syntactic priming: learner characteristics, material features, and test task, examining these factors from multiple perspectives, including working memory, repetitive words, and task intensity. By comparing different studies, the paper points out how these factors function and discusses whether they have a positive relationship with syntactic priming. Also, possible reasons for the contradictory findings in some studies have been explored. The paper concludes by summarizing current research finding, putting forward problems existing in present studies, and identifying gaps for future exploration, aiming to offer insights and directions for ongoing research in this area.
