Aryadoust, Vahid; Ng, Li Ying; Foo, Stacy; Esposito, Gianluca – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
This is the first study to investigate the effects of test methods (while-listening performance and post-listening performance) and gender on measured listening ability and brain activation under test conditions. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to examine three brain regions associated with listening comprehension: the…

Lee, Ju Seong; Drajati, Nur Arifah – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2020
This study introduces a new scale of willingness to communicate in a second language (L2 WTC) in digital and non-digital EFL contexts. The psychometric testing of the revised L2 WTC (L2 WTC-R) was undertaken with 114 Indonesian EFL students by means of exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The results yielded an 11-item scale composed of three…

Ballance, Oliver James – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2016
In pedagogical contexts, concordancing is often researched in relation to a non-concordanced-based learning condition, such as dictionary-based learning, and studies have generally shown concordancing to be a valuable language learning resource, as indicated by Tom Cobb and Alex Boutlon's recent meta-analysis. However, studies framed in terms of…

Sahin Kizil, Aysel; Savran, Zehra – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2018
Focusing on Self-Regulated Learning, this study aims to contribute a gap in current research by developing a learning environment and domain-specific measure (i.e. vocabulary learning in Information and Communication based environments) that could be used for research and pedagogical purposes in language learning. The development and validation of…

Aryadoust, Vahid; Mehran, Parisa; Alizadeh, Mehrasa – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2016
A few computer-assisted language learning (CALL) instruments have been developed in Iran to measure EFL (English as a foreign language) learners' attitude toward CALL. However, these instruments have no solid validity argument and accordingly would be unable to provide a reliable measurement of attitude. The present study aimed to develop a CALL…

Vandewaetere, M.; Desmet, P. – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2009
The great majority of questionnaires measuring non-observable constructs such as attitude towards CALL are often developed from a specific point of view and are seldom followed by psychometrical validation. Psychometrical properties of the questionnaire, such as construct validity and reliability, then remain unanswered too often, laying a heavy…
