In an examination of the social anticipations within the technical, the idea of accessibility is prominent. It is itself a disclosure of the idea of technical interaction, that of technical subjects with technical objects. Accessibility opens the idea of interaction to one of freer access. Technical accessibility implies, on the factual side,…

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes embedded in daily life--from employment and education to healthcare and public services--AI literacy is emerging as both a civic competency and a human right. Yet second language learners, particularly from immigrant and marginalized communities, are often excluded from systems not designed for linguistic…

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…

As artificial intelligence (AI) gains prominence, its integration into second language (L2)/foreign language (FL) instruction has become a significant trend. Despite the considerable promise of AI for L2/FL learning, more research is still needed on its effects on student academic engagement in literature classes and the corresponding emotional…

Digital mobile applications have impacted foreign language learning by offering accessible and engaging educational tools. This study examines the effect of digital mobile applications on emergent multilinguals' foreign language learning experiences at the tertiary level. Twenty-nine English language teacher candidates engaged with Duolingo--a…

The mastery of vocabulary is a fundamental step when learning a language but for many learners, it seems difficult and boring.
