Hellmich, Emily; Vinall, Kimberly – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2021
Machine translation (MT) platforms have gained increasing attention in the educational linguistics community. The current article extends past research on instructor beliefs about MT by way of an ecological theoretical framework. The study reports on a large-scale survey (n=165) of FL university-level instructors in the U.S. Findings indicate…

Man, Deliang; Lee, Kok Yueh; Chau, Meng Huat; Smidt, Esther – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2021
The advent of technology has facilitated the study of language development and writing development in the form of learner corpora. While learner corpus studies have flourished in recent years, few consider evaluative language development. This paper reports on a study which examines the use of evaluative that-clauses, a linguistic structure that…
