The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted education, yet few scholars have explored AI-assisted classrooms, particularly in language education in China. Understanding the roles of classroom climate, AI literacy, and resilience is essential, as these factors foster positive learning environments and enhance student…

In the age of Anthropocene, we problematize the multitudes of affordances of humanism that we are ultimately entwined by and within. Education is a discipline that always placed predominance to the human centredness ignoring several non-human and non-living objects that also form a part of teaching and learning.

Concern is expressed that computer-assisted instruction may quickly become obsolete unless courseware reflects current trends in language learning. Current courseware is criticized as structure-bound and reflecting the 1960s audiolingual approach and for using computer-generated enhancements to cover up essentially trivial exercises. Work done at…
