Incorporating immersive technologies in education has become increasingly popular due to their ability to facilitate active learning and engage students in the acquisition of concepts and skills. One form of immersive technology includes educational games that incorporate movement interaction, allowing children to engage with in-game elements by…

The connections between oral language skills and literacy achievement have been well documented. Despite this, there is a dearth of research regarding the use of multi-tiered systems of language support (MTSLS) within the educational setting to support oral language development. Currently, there are no studies examining the efficacy of MTSLS via…

This research presents that a closer look pertaining to learning style integrated with instructional technology within an educational setting is warranted. A better understanding of integrating instructional technology with learning styles and the impact on the learning process is possible if there is a closer look at the dynamic of…

Instructional technology in courses of K-12 level for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners demonstrates numerous benefits for their learning, including increased engagement and improved academic outcomes. However, integrating technology into teaching practices heavily relies on teachers' competence in technology. Even though teacher…
