Although research has shown that 1 out of 10 learners might have a learning difficulty such as dyslexia, there is still a dearth of evidence on the teaching approaches that can support dyslexic learners in language settings. The present study explores the impact of inclusive practices (dyslexia-friendly), on dyslexic and non-dyslexic pupils in…

Changing mindsets may influence college students' motivation to learn, which in turn affects how they engage in learning activities. Based on mindset theory (Gollwitzer 1990; Gollwitzer 2012), this study explored the extent to which the concepts of the deliberative and implemental mindset are value-laden, and hence, might have different effects…

Flipped instruction has garnered significant interest in higher education for its potential to enhance student motivation and self-regulated learning.

In response to these reports, we designed, implemented, and evaluated the…

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…

While interest in the learning of a language other than English (LOTE) has increased, research on how to foster learners' motivation towards learning a LOTE is still scarce. With a specific focus on learners' ideal LOTE and multilingual selves, this article reports on an intervention study which employed near peer role model (NPRM) to construct…
