In the context of process-oriented writing instruction, the significance of engaging students in draft revision is widely acknowledged (McGarrell and Verbeem, ELT Journal 61:228-236, 2007). Nevertheless, L2 learners often exhibit limited motivation for writing, leading to inadequate revision efforts. This quasi-experimental study investigates the…

This study draws on an ecological perspective on teacher agency to examine the role of the situated learning CALL environment in developing EFL student-teachers' agency. The data were collected from eight student-teachers' autobiographical narratives and the recoded class discussions. The deductive thematic analysis of the data showed that…

This bibliometric analysis explores the evolution of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) research spanning from 1979 to 2023. The study meticulously examines various metrics of CALL research across the past four decades, focusing on geographical and institutional productivity, citation impact, and the thematic co-occurrence of keywords.…

Despite the proliferation of help options for computer-based second language (L2) listening comprehension, little attention has been given to a comprehensive understanding of the pedagogical effects. To gain a thorough understanding of the overall and moderator effects, drawing on the activity theory (AT), this study conducted a meta-analysis of…

Robotics education and robot-embedded learning have become focal points in recent interdisciplinary and innovative education. Despite the identified opportunities, there are still limitations and considerations before integrating educational robotics into foreign language education on a large scale. This survey investigates foreign language…

This exploratory study utilized a conceptual framework for self-directed computer-assisted professional development (PD) to evaluate the implementation and outcomes of a six-month PD pilot program. The program was designed to enhance the English proficiency of Taiwanese bilingual school teachers through a computer-assisted learning platform. Using…

Motivated by the proliferation of artificial intelligence that has the potential to promote self-access learning, this study utilizes a sequential explanatory quasi-experimental mixed methods design to investigate the efficacy of Google Assistant (GA) in facilitating second language (L2) vocabulary learning compared to online dictionaries. A…

Background: Technology advancement changes not only interpreting practices but also its pedagogy, which has long been criticised for lacking authenticity in/out-of-classroom practices. Objective: This empirical research aims to develop a mobile-assisted language learning application powered by extended reality (XR). Shortened as 'XR MALL', this…

This study investigates the effects of online instructors' use of initiation and maintenance rapport-building strategies (RBS) on Chinese EFL learners' CALL motivation and cognitive load management. Mixed methods research was used to concurrently triangulate different strands of data on the effects of RBS on 86 randomly sampled EFL learners. The…

The present mixed-methods study aimed at investigating the effects of three writing conditions, including collaborative writing (CW), collaborative prewriting (CPW), and individual writing (IW), on the performance and motivation of 66 Iranian EFL learners in a computer-mediated communication (CMC) context. Data were obtained through a background…

This research examines the impact of online help-seeking strategies--both adaptive and peer-based--on promoting self-regulated and collaborative learning skills, as well as language learning outcomes, among Chinese EFL learners in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) environments. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study triangulates…

With technological advancement, multimodality has received paramount importance in teaching and learning. Different technology-based assistance is available nowadays, and computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is one of them. It uses computer-based tools, materials, resources, and information to assist second language learning. Motivation…

Although Global Englishes (GE) research continues to grow in English language teaching (ELT), the role of technology in enhancing GE awareness remains underexplored. Addressing this gap, the study investigates the potential of English as a lingua franca (ELF) interactions with artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots in raising GE awareness. Using a…

Podcasts are increasingly being used for educational purposes within and outside of the classroom. In the English as a New Language (ENL) classroom, podcasts have been used as a source of authentic auditory input to supplement traditional pedagogical materials. The creation of podcasts by learners has been widely used to encourage language…

Background: Computer-mediated writing classes have experienced a significant increase in popularity in recent years, serving as an effective modality for enhancing writing skills within an online framework.
