Jia-Hua Zhao; Patcharin Panjaburee; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Wararat Wongkia – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Scholars have suggested English classrooms with sufficient context and fun activities to increase English performance and promote learning motivation. With the rapid growth of technology-enhanced learning, virtual reality (VR) has become increasingly popular in English learning. Using VR without a well-designed learning environment, however, may…

Yuting Zheng; Yuanlan Jiang; Jian-E- Peng – SAGE Open, 2025
English Language MOOCs (LMOOCs) employ multimodal resources to enhance second language learners' engagement and motivation. This study examined the multimodal instructional discourse in English LMOOCs in a Chinese MOOC platform, focusing on the rhetorical relations between the linguistic mode, termed verbiage, and two non-linguistic modes, namely…

Tanjun Liu; Dana Gablasova – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2025
Collocations, a crucial component of language competence, remain a challenge for L2 learners across all proficiency levels. While the data-driven learning (DDL) approach has shown great potential for collocation learning from a shorter-term perspective, this study investigates its effectiveness in the long term, examining both linguistic gains and…

Shen Qiao; Samuel Kai Wah Chu; Susanna Siu-sze Yeung – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2025
Morphological analysis is a form of problem solving to work out the meanings of unfamiliar words by applying knowledge of morphemes. It has emerged recently as an important predictor of reading comprehension. However, while gamification can potentially be used to teach this skill, few studies have examined its use. To address this, a…

Yan Lin; Hongjian Liao; Suxian Weng; Wanqi Dong – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Children's preschool years are crucial for the development of computational thinking (CT) skills. However, debate continues regarding whether CT should be developed through plugged-in or unplugged activities. This study investigated the similarities and differences between plugged-in and unplugged activities with similar learning content and…

Saba Fazal Firdousi; Cui Yong; Beenish Amir; Ayaan Waqar – Open Education Studies, 2024
The main aim of this research is to study the influence of traditional, online, and hybrid teaching modes on student academic performance. For this purpose, three determinants of perceived satisfaction and academic performance are used to compare student learning outcomes across the different teaching mediums. This is the first study to examine…

Xin Yuan; Xuan Tang – Language Awareness, 2025
This study explored the effects of listening-based lexical focus-on-form (lexical FonF) on the acquisition and retention of morphologically complex words. One hundred eighty-two adult English learners with two levels of English proficiency (higher and lower proficiency) from a public university in mainland China were assigned to three different…

Baichang Zhong; Xiaofan Liu; Shuiyan Huang – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2025
While pair learning (PL) is considered a potential method in STEM education including robotics education (RE), the question of how to pair students for superior learning effects remains. Current grouping strategies for PL in RE are constrained by fixed grouping (FG) and short of attention to dynamic grouping (DG). Therefore, this study aims to…

Zhao Shurong; Song Junxia – SAGE Open, 2025
Emotional experiences significantly affect students' health, learning outcomes, productivity, and social interactions. Therefore, investigating learners' emotional experiences in typical technology-related scenarios during the information age is crucial and meaningful. Utilizing assessment to bridge online and offline activities serves as a…

Shadiev, Rustam; Wang, Xueying; Liu, Taoying; Yang, Mengke – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Fifty-one learning strategies were developed and validated in this study to make language learners more knowledgeable about unfamiliar environments. The study tested the effectiveness of the strategies in improving the creativity of students. 75 university students participated in the study and they were divided into three groups: (1) students who…

Qian Xu; Jennifer C. Richardson – Online Learning, 2024
Scholars indicated that learners who are strategic with their language learning (e.g., selfregulated learning [SRL], cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies) tend to be more efficient, resourceful, and flexible, and thus have better language learning outcomes (Oxford, 2016; Heo et al., 2012; Plonsky, 2011). Besides focusing on the knowledge,…

Ying Zhang – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
The role of practice has been largely overlooked in second/foreign (L2) pragmatics research. Furthermore, very few studies have directly compared the effects of different "practice contexts" (e.g. practice in a telecollaborative context versus practice in a face-to-face context) on L2 learners' pragmatic competence (e.g. in compliment…

Cheng Yao; Supawadee Kanjanakate; Nirat Jantharajit – Journal of English Teaching, 2024
The study explores the effects of a hybrid instructional approach combining Situated Learning (SL) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) on the executive functions and cognitive abilities of fourth-grade students learning English as a second language (ESL). Method: An experimental design was employed, with students divided into control and…

Chuanfang Shi; Asiah Kassim; Noor Raha Mohd Radzuan – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Traditional English education in China, with its emphasis on grammatical proficiency and written accuracy, often neglects public speaking, resulting in a notable deficiency in practical language application. This study investigated the potential of project-based learning to address this problem by promoting more interactive, student-centered…
