This study aims to examine the effectiveness of collaborative learning, augmented reality, and learning cycle models on students' language success. This study employed meta-analysis methodologies to examine data derived from 54 studies with a sample size of 2,837 participants in Turkey. The data sources were obtained from online database searches…

Various studies have been done on shifting toward technology-based second language (L2) education. However, the influence of psycho-emotional factors on students' technology acceptance is overlooked. To fill this gap, the present quantitative study examined the role of students' achievement emotions and technological self-efficacy in predicting…

In recent years, the integration of big data and learning analytics has emerged as a significant trend across educational systems worldwide. The implementation of such technologies within universities -- particularly in China -- holds considerable potential for transforming teaching and learning practices. By enabling personalised, data-driven…

There is limited research concerning the use of visual materials for academic learning in Chinese undergraduate international students' experiences of studying in the United States. To help address this gap, drawing upon theoretical perspectives on multimodality and a literature review on using visual resources, this article discusses the ways in…

Evidence suggests that short-term study abroad experiences can help advance various dimensions of second language (L2) learners' linguistic competence. However, the extent to which gains following a brief sojourn are durable and maintained after immersion remains an open question. The present study examined both the immediate and sustained…

The ability of students to deal with common academic difficulties is referred to as academic buoyancy. It can also be described as the capacity of students over obstacles and difficulties that are typical of the everyday school experience. The purpose of this research was to examine the connections between the academic buoyancy of Iranian…

This study aims to examine the construct validity of the English Language Resilience Scale (ELRS), explore how English learning resilience can be predicted through the six factors of resilience (i.e. planning, self-control, persistence and continuity in English learning, growth mindset, flexibility, and sociability), investigate how English…

This study compared students' perceptions of their e-learning experiences in virtual and blended English for specific purposes (ESP) classes in an English as a foreign language (EFL) context. The study was conducted during an academic semester. The participants were two groups of Saudi ESP undergraduate students who took the same ESP course but in…

Purpose: There is an absence of systematic review papers in the achievement motivation theories literature. In terms of current research trends, English learning motivation is gaining attention as a determiner of success in FLA. Hence, this review aims to trace the trends in the empirical studies on achievement motivation theories and tools,…

Despite the significance of grit and motivational regulation strategies (MRS) to language learning, limited research has been conducted on their longitudinal interplay. The present study explores the relationship between these two constructs in an English as a second language (L2) learning context through a longitudinal design. This study utilizes…

This study explores the relationships between learner autonomy (LA), self-directed learning (SDL), goal commitment (GC) and academic achievement in English and also examines the scores which Turkish EFL learners obtained on selected measures according to demographic variables. The participants were 248 English-major Turkish undergraduate students.…

In recent years, there has been a growing shift in education towards learning that extends beyond traditional classroom settings. With the rise of digital technologies and the prevalence of self-directed learning environments, teachers are increasingly interested in how students take control of their learning. As traditional classroom structures…

Advanced adult Indigenous language speakers are essential in Indigenous language revitalization (ILR). As first language speakers age and pass away, communities increasingly depend on adults with high proficiency to carry the language forward (Fishman, 1991; Hinton, 2011; W.H. Wilson, 2018). Yet, few studies in ILR focus on adult learners, and…

Over the past few years, there has been an increasing focus on innovative approaches to language instruction in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. Task-supported language Instruction (TSLI) has emerged as one such approach. While previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of TSLI in improving language proficiency, its broader…

Although research has always related e-portfolios to self-regulated learning, recently agency, which includes individual, relational, and contextual domains, has also been highlighted. Likewise, agency has been explored in technological environments that support collaborative and co-design learning processes. This study, investigating the…
