Purpose: Despite substantial research on students' perceptions of collaborative writing, only a few studies have provided a deep understanding of their perceptions and attitudes toward computer-supported collaborative writing (CSCW). Previous studies have examined learners' perceptions and attitudes using questionnaires or interviews at a specific…

Augmented reality (AR) is an immersive, interactive, and engaging advanced information technology and it is widely used in language learning. Although several studies have evaluated the effectiveness of AR in EFL learners' language gains, these research findings are inconsistent. Therefore, this study conducted a meta-analysis to analyze to what…

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-based applications has become increasingly significant due to its transformative potential in various fields including language learning. These applications have the potential to enhance second language (L2) learners' speaking proficiency, willingness to communicate (WTC), and perception,…

Purpose: Despite the acknowledged benefits of digital storytelling in fostering language development, investigations into its cognitive and affective dimensions in English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) education, especially concerning high and low achievers, have been scarce. This study, therefore, aimed to scrutinize the effects of multimodal…

Purpose: Globalization underscores the importance of developing language learners' intercultural communication competence (ICC). English language teacher education nowadays thus necessitates pedagogy training on not only linguistic, but also intercultural dimensions. However, the development of PSETs' home-country cultural knowledge (HCK) and…

Purpose: This mixed-methods study proposed a digital-storytelling-based (DST-based) online flipped learning approach during the pandemic, and investigated its impact on EFL learners' willingness to communicate (WTC) and their perceptions of the approach. Design/methodology/approach: A 16-week quasi-experiment was carried out in a college English…

Purpose: This study aims to generate empirical insights into the extent to which ChatGPT, a highly capable AI chatbot building on OpenAI's GPT family, is perceived and leveraged by EFL learners beyond the classroom. Design/Methodology: This quantitative cross-sectional investigation draws upon the technology acceptance model (TAM) as developed by…

COVID-19 has transformed how teaching is organized, with computer-mediated communication (CMC) implemented to overcome physical constraints from social distancing. This study explored behaviors and approaches employed by 10 English teachers from three private schools to optimize ELT with CMC in southern Thai provinces. Data collection involved…

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of an AR application (Civilisations AR) on EFL learners' oral proficiency in the dimensions of content, fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, as well as their attitudes and perceptions toward AR technology. Design: Utilizing a quasi-experiment, twenty-four EFL learners engaged in a…

Practicing pronunciation through language learning systems incorporating Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology has been effective in helping improve foreign language pronunciation. One of the ASR affordances is that it can provide immediate, personalized feedback on learners' pronunciation. We investigated the effects of two ASR-based…

Purpose: The study explored how Feifei, a 3-year-old trilingual girl living in England, uses touchscreens across her multiple languages (English, Mandarin, and Bahasa Indonesia), exploring how her languages and social interactions interact with her touchscreen use. Design/methodology/approach: The research adopts a case study approach, using…

Augmented Reality (AR) has gained significant attention in the field of language learning. This study conducted a systematic review of research on AR-supported language learning published between 2008 and 2022. Thirty articles were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, and analyzed using an analytical framework with the…

Purpose: Despite the increasing use of technology-driven multimodal pedagogies in second-language writing education, there is a dearth of studies investigating the value and design of multimodal text feedback. Based on Chong's (Chong, S. W. 2019. "College Students' Perception of e-Feedback: A Grounded Theory Perspective."…

Purpose: The aim of this study was to interrogate pre-service language teachers' professional identity formation in relation to their funds of identity (FoI) and the agentive influence of space. Design: The study was conducted with 20 pre-service language teachers in Argentina in 2022. As part of a core module's coursework, the participants were…
