The study aimed to explore the use of infographics as multimedia tools in language-based learning: enhancing cognitive language skills in secondary education. The researcher used the quasi-experimental approach and the study community consisted of all tenth-grade students in public schools in Giza District, numbering (1272) male and female students. The study sample consisted of (100) male and female students. The experimental group consisted of two groups, one group consisting of (20) male students from Netl Secondary School for Boys, and (26) female students from Netl Secondary School for Girls. The control group consisted of two groups, consisting of (26) male students from Umm Qusayr School for Boys, and (28) female students from Umm Qusayr Secondary School for Girls. They were selected using the available random method (2024/2025 AD). The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences attributed to the post-test of computational thinking skills in favor of the experimental group, and that there were statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of teaching with infographics. The differences were in favor of teaching (the experimental sample) with infographics for the study unit designed in light of infographics. This means that the effect of the designed educational unit was high. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of the interaction between the group and gender. The study recommends training social studies teachers on designing and employing infographic technology.

This paper aims to examine the Quranic morphological markedness in 112 selected expressions as an important linguistic phenomenon. Adopting a descriptive-analytical method to investigate the corpus of the study, we collected 112 Quranic expressions. We analyzed them by classifying these expressions into morphologically unmarked and marked forms and examining their translations. The study revealed that Quranic morphological markedness enhances the expression of the verses' inimitability and eloquence. It emphasizes the role of marked forms—such as affixes—in imparting additional layers of meaning and highlighting Quranic depth and clarity of the Quranic messages. These morphological affixes allow for a specific interpretation of verses by permeating them with nuanced meaning. The paper also underlines the challenges faced by translators, who often render both unmarked and marked forms, similarly, potentially resulting in a loss of meaning or misinterpretation.
