Zhongling Pi; Xin Guo; Caixia Liu; Jiumin Yang – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2025
Students are often encouraged to explain recently-taught information to others to enhance their learning in various settings including face-to-face in the classroom, through text, or in educational videos. However, nearly all studies on the impact of explaining things to others have focused on the effects of explaining to a less-knowledgeable…

Mingjie Zou; Binhai Ren – Journal for the Psychology of Language Learning, 2024
Flow, a subjective state of optimal engagement and immersion, is characterized by a balance of perceived challenges and skills, interest, attention, and a sense of control (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). Investigating flow in language learning can provide valuable insights into effective learning processes and contexts (Egbert, 2003). Self-regulated…

Lambert, Craig; Gong, Qian; Zhang, Grace – Language Teaching Research, 2023
This study investigates the effect of personal investment in the form of learner-generated content (LGC) on the lexical recall of beginning-level learners of Chinese. The study employed a 2 x 2 repeated-measures design with content at two levels -- teacher-generated content or TGC, and learner-generated content or LGC -- and time at two levels…

TuongVan Vu; Martijn Meeter; Abe Hofman; Brenda Jansen; Lucía Magis-Weinberg; Elise van Triest; Nienke van Atteveldt – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2025
Background: The purported reciprocity between motivation and academic achievement in education has largely been supported by correlational data. Aims: Our first aim was to determine experimentally whether motivation and achievement are reciprocally related. The second objective was to investigate a potential behavioural mediation pathway between…

Yi-Fan Li; Jue-Qi Guan; Xiao-Feng Wang; Qu Chen; Gwo-Jen Hwang – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a predictive variable in students' academic performance, especially in virtual reality (VR) environments, which lack monitoring and control. However, current research on VR encounters challenges in effective interventions of cognitive and affective regulation, and visualising the SRL processes using…

Altalhab, Sultan – International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, 2023
Although there is robust research on vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs), little is known about the strategies that learners use in pair work. Therefore, this study examines the VLSs employed by 40 Saudi undergraduate students whilst working in pair tasks. This study also investigates whether there is a relationship between using certain…
