This study aims to assess the adoption and impact of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) tools in higher education, focusing on a private university in Latin America. Guided by the question, "What is the impact, as perceived by university students, of using Artificial Intelligence tools on various dimensions of learning and teaching within the…

In the AI field of language learning, chatterbots are an interesting area for language learning and practice. This research investigates Arabic EFL vocabulary learning using an interactive storytelling chatterbot. A chatterbot was created and equipped with four vocabulary tools: a dictionary, images, an L1 translation tool, and a concordancer. The…

Vocabulary teaching and learning constitute a major problem for EFL instructors and students. EFL freshman students have difficulty in pronouncing, recognizing the meaning of, using and spelling new English words. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, all college courses have shifted to online distance learning since March 2020. Surveys with samples of…

The present study investigates the effects of two different vocabulary learning conditions in digital reading environments equipped with electronic textual glossing. The first condition presents the concordance lines of a target lexical item, thereby making learners infer its meaning by reading the referenced sentences. The second condition…

Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) proposed by Mishra and Koehler is a theoretical construct of teacher knowledge that describes how teachers teach subject matter content using certain instructional methods with specific technology in particular contexts. This study aims to explore the interface between TPACK and SLA, intending to…

Corpus consultation is gaining in prominence as a language learning tool. This approach to language analysis has made its way into the language classroom where its presence ranges from the presentation of printed concordance data with accompanying tasks to the direct use of concordancing software by learners themselves to carry out analyses of…

Ways for using computer-generated concordances in language teaching are suggested, specifically, a typology of exercise types. Kinds of information to be derived from a concordance (e.g., keyword-in-context type) are considered, followed by a discussion of the rationale and technical problems encountered.

Online templates have the potential to scaffold complex writing processes and to provide information and language prompts for writers. The purpose of this study is threefold. First, for assisting students in their scholarly writing, an online Scholarly Writing Template (SWT) was designed and developed. SWT includes two major features: (1) an…

For many years, computerized concordancing has been the domain of computational linguists, lexicographers, and dictionary compilers working with large corpora of millions of words. The use of small-corpora concordancing in English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) settings is a relatively new application and has sparked keen interest among researchers…

This paper reports on a paper to develop two computer text corpora, called Hong Kong Texts on Hong Kong," at the University of Hong Kong English Centre. These corpora are intended to serve as a resource for teachers and researchers who need information on English usage in published text in Hong Kong. The aim of the report is to disseminate…

This bibliography cites 26 books, papers, and reports dealing with various uses of computers in engineering education; and describes several computer programs available for use in teaching aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical and electronic, mechanical, and nuclear engineering. Each computer program entry is presented by name, author,…

Describes a way of using English concordances, when English is the language of instruction, in the teaching of German. The article suggests that concordances have the potential to address problems faced by undergraduate learners. These problems include a lack of awareness of different levels of meaning in language.

Describes a recent longitudinal case study of the concordancing strategies used by two nonnative English-speaking postgraduate students at Monash University, Australia. In the study, a computer-assisted technique was used to correct English expression in sections of the students' written texts; these texts were then used in the corpus for the…

This resource document lists 36 books, papers, and reports dealing with various uses of computers in chemistry instruction; and describes several computer program packages available for use in teaching undergraduate, experimental laboratory, physical, and nuclear and X-ray chemistry, including biochemistry. Each program package is presented by…

Discussion of the use of computerized concordancers (computer software packages that enable large quantities of text to be searched for all occurrences of a particular lexical item) focuses on their potential as a tool for students to use in learning a second language. In considering the pedagogical value of such tools, three areas are considered.…
