Van Ginkel, Stan; Ruiz, Dominic; Mononen, Asko; Karaman, Cendel; de Keijzer, Ander; Sitthiworachart, Jirarat – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Feedback plays a central role in learning. Crucial to this is the nature and timing of the feedback. This experimental study explores the efficacy of immediate computer-mediated feedback within a virtual reality environment designed to facilitate the development of pre-university students' presentation skills. Two conditions were established to…

York, James; Shibata, Koichi; Tokutake, Hayato; Nakayama, Hiroshi – ReCALL, 2021
Studies on computer-mediated communication often compare the affective affordances of different technologies with face-to-face communication. This study aimed to understand how three different computer-mediated communication modalities may affect EFL learners' foreign language anxiety (FLA). Using a counterbalanced 3 by 3 factorial design, 30…

Ebadi, Saman; Ebadijalal, Marjan – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
This study reports the results of a mixed-methods investigation on the impact of a virtual reality (VR) tool on Iranian EFL learners' willingness to communicate (WTC) and oral proficiency. Twenty upper-intermediate EFL learners were divided into experimental and control groups role-playing as museum guides with and without Google Expeditions VR…

Limei Shan – International Journal of Technology in Teaching and Learning, 2023
This paper explores the impact of AI applications in adaptive learning on learners with varying levels of Chinese proficiency and diverse learning needs. The study investigates the robustness of VR technology in enhancing Chinese oral proficiency and pragmatic skills among 1st year and 2nd year learners. It compares the established VR app Mondly…

Tokutake, Hayato; York, James; Shibata, Koichi; Nakayama, Hiroshi – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2021
This study explored the effect of differing levels of interactivity in a VR language learning system on learner oral task performance. 30 participants were divided into 15 pairs which undertook two spot-the-difference tasks. One in a static-VR system, the other in an interactive-VR system which required them to move objects into the correct…

Sydorenko, Tetyana; Jones, Zachary W.; Daurio, Phoebe; Thorne, Steven L. – Language Learning & Technology, 2020
Usage-based linguistics posits that communicative functions, including pragmatics, are at the core of language (Tomasello, 1992). It is surprising, then, that pragmatics is rarely systematically included in second language curricula (e.g., Bardovi-Harlig, 2017), especially since pragmatics instruction has been shown to significantly contribute to…

Solimani, Elahe; Ameri-Golestan, Ahmad; Lotfi, Ahmadreza – International Journal of Instruction, 2019
This study sought to probe the effect of two non-conventional instructions namely Flipped Classroom Model (FCM) vs. Unplugged Classroom Model (UCM) on Iranian EFL learners' oral proficiency. Therefore, 90 upper-intermediates were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (30 each). The FCM and UCM participants were…

Sydorenko, Tetyana; Daurio, Phoebe; Thorne, Steven L. – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2018
To address the problem of limited opportunities for practicing second language speaking in interaction, especially delicate interactions requiring pragmatic competence, we describe computer simulations designed for the oral practice of extended pragmatic routines and report on the affordances of such simulations for learning pragmatically…

Canto, Silvia; Jauregi Ondarra, Kristi – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2017
This article attempts to shed some light on the possible learning benefits for language acquisition and intercultural development of authentic social interaction with expert peers through computer mediated communication (CMC) tools. The environments used in this study are video communication and the 3D virtual world "Second Life." For…

Abal, Abdulaziz – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The population of English Language Learners (ELLs) globally has been increasing substantially every year. In the United States alone, adult ELLs are the fastest growing portion of learners in adult education programs (Yang, 2005). There is a significant need to improve the teaching of English to ELLs in the United States and other English-speaking…

Adriaans, Frans; Kager, Rene – Journal of Memory and Language, 2010
Emerging phonotactic knowledge facilitates the development of the mental lexicon, as demonstrated by studies showing that infants use the phonotactic patterns of their native language to extract words from continuous speech. The present study provides a computational account of how infants might induce phonotactics from their immediate language…
