Recent years have seen increased interests in applying the latest technological innovations, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to the field of education. One of the main areas of interest to researchers is the use of ML to assist teachers in assessing students' work on the one hand and to promote effective…

Students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are included in the general education classroom more often than ever before. Despite mathematical strengths and early success, these students experience poor outcomes (academic and employment) compared to their typically developing peers. The language of mathematics increases in complexity, use, and…

Maloof & Associates (M&A), a well-regarded small auditing and accounting firm in Atlanta, kept a close eye on the media buzz surrounding ChatGPT. The partners knew that they must make decisions soon regarding the new technology, but they did not realize how soon until they lost a long-standing and substantial client to a rival that had…

Close reading, as Paula Moya (2016) writes, may remain the "most powerful discipline-specific tool we have at our disposal" (p. 9). At a time when the work of English teachers is threatened by many factors, including political polarization and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), close reading may be the soundest way of unifying and…

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, you have most likely experienced a significant expansion in your teaching responsibilities. Your role may have stretched to encompass being proficient in various technology platforms, nurturing the social and emotional learning of your students, and adjusting to amplified documentation requirements.…

The escalating integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly the widespread use of ChatGPT in higher education, necessitates a profound exploration of effective communication strategies. This paper addresses the critical role of prompt development as a skill essential for university instructors engaging with ChatGPT. While…

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) programs such as ChatGPT and other large language models are designed to engage in complex, responsive dialogues that feel like human interactions. The dialogic and responsive nature of GAI signals the potential for users to form relationships with GAI platforms or digital personalities created on these…

The Competition Model has served as a functional explanation of cross-linguistic influence and transfer for more than 30 years. A large number of studies have used the Competition Model to frame investigations of sentence processing strategies in different types of bilingual and multilingual speakers. Among the different bilingual speakers…

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) fundamentally shifts how educational knowledge is created, shared, and validated. Through the lens of epistemic technologies--tools that transform knowledge creation and dissemination--we analyze how GenAI challenges traditional notions of practical wisdom in education doctorate (EdD)…

Purpose: Recent advances in artificial intelligence provide opportunities to capture and represent complex features of human language in a more automated manner, offering potential means of improving the efficiency of language assessment. This review article presents computerized approaches for the analysis of narrative language and identification…

This special issue revisits a classic topic in linguistic theory, A-bar movement, applied to developing and bilingual grammars. We claim that A-bar movement, or filler-gap dependencies, is still the quintessential linguistic phenomenon to illustrate the interaction between the biological endowment, the experience with language (past and present),…

This article dives into the reality of how, since 2023, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as an inescapable force in education and highlights the work of community college faculty in use of AI in teaching and learning. ChatGPT is an example of a relatively new and rapidly evolving aspect of AI research, the large language model.…

Quality control and assurance plays a fundamental role within higher education contexts. One means by which quality control can be performed is by mapping the course learning outcomes (CLOs) to the program learning outcomes (PLO). This paper describes a system by which this mapping process can be automated and validated. The proposed AI-based…

There is currently much interest in the role of prediction in language processing, both in L1 and L2. For language acquisition researchers, this has prompted debate on the role that predictive processing may play in both L1 and L2 language learning, if any. In this conceptual review, we explore the role of prediction and prediction error as a…

The landscape of generative AI in Education Doctorate (EdD) programs is multifaceted and rapidly evolving, demonstrating a significant impact on educational methodologies and student engagement. In the Molloy University EdD program, AI is leveraged extensively for a range of purposes, from assessment tools like Perusall to advanced platforms like…
