Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a prerequisite for successful learning. However, studies have reported that many students struggle with self-regulation in online learning, indicating the need to provide students with additional support for SRL. This study adopted a design-based research methodology to iteratively design, implement, and evaluate…

This study explored factors affecting variability in second language (L2) learning motivation among Korean university students and how they appraised their L2 learning experience. In this study, 85 undergraduate students majoring in English or English education from three universities in Seoul, South Korea, reflected on their past English learning…

This study, anchored in the empirical domain of student learning experiences, employs the Chaoxing Fanya network teaching platform to delineate a comprehensive model of factors that influence student learning experiences within the framework of blended collaborative learning. Through a rigorous synthesis of extant literature and qualitative…

This study used the concept of desire in language learning to explore the first-year English journeys of undergraduates at an English-medium instruction (EMI) university in Hong Kong. Desire in language learning is an underexplored area in EMI research but a relevant concept for gaining a multilayered picture of the incentives and pressures of…

With the prevalence of Large Language Model-based chatbots, middle school students are increasingly likely to engage with these tools to complete their assignments, raising concerns about its potential to harm students' learning motivation and learning outcomes. However, we know little about its real impact. Through quasi-experiment research with…

Scientific knowledge is often abstract and challenging, making it difficult for students to apply these concepts effectively. Digital game-based learning (DGBL) offers an engaging and immersive approach, but the fixed resources and predetermined learning paths in most games limit its ability to adapt to individual learners' needs. Large language…

This book traces the motivational dynamics embedded within lifelong foreign language learning trajectories, examining the factors which generate and sustain motivation throughout a learner's life. Embracing a complexity approach, it views motivation as a long-term individual process that evolves along a narrative continuum, developing over the…

The integration of digital learning tools in school science classes has garnered significant attention, prompting an investigation into their effects on student engagement and achievement. This study examines the impact of students' access to technology, teachers' digital competency, and the frequent use of digital tools on the engagement and…

While extensive research has been conducted on L2 motivation in the Hungarian context, more studies need to be focused on international students beginning to learn Hungarian while studying in Hungary. This article offers an explanatory investigation into the motivational dispositions influencing the learning of Hungarian as a second language (L2)…

This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate the feasibility of an activity titled "Space Adventure for Little Explorers", integrating the engineering and entrepreneurship design model within the STEM education framework into preschool education.

This study investigates the influence of technological literacy in artificial intelligence (AI), augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), and mobile applications on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' engagement and motivation in technology-enhanced classrooms. A total of 357 Chinese EFL students participated in a survey-based quantitative…

E-learning is an emerging trend in most universities. Due to COVID-19, many universities adopted e-learning. With the sudden adoption and implementation of e-learning, learners had to undergo learning on how to learn and take examinations electronically, which could have increased cognitive load in their learning experience. Without regular, face…

This study aimed to examine the effect of incorporating the generative pre-trained AI chatbot, ChatGPT, into an instructor-led writing class on the motivation of Japanese university students. This study examines changes in students' Ideal L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, and L2 Learning Experience using Dörnyei's L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS)…

In language learner identity research, there is an underrepresentation of LOTE-as-L3 learners in instructed foreign language learning contexts. This study addresses this gap by exploring the multilingual identity profiles of Chinese high school LOTE-as-L3 learners in two school contexts and seeks to understand how the schools may influence…

Microcredentials enable a digital transformation of educational offerings that build skills of learners and the capability of organisations; however learners struggle with balancing study on top of work and family commitments unless they are motivated and self-regulated in their learning. Designing microcredentials that intrinsically motivate…
