The online flipped classroom model (OFC) is increasingly being adopted in higher education. However, little is known about the effect of OFC on students' self-regulated learning (SRL). The current study explored the students' SRL strategy in the OFC. A quantitative method with multiple linear regression analysis based on online survey data was…

Introduction: Assuming responsibility of learning and showing flexibility in case of changes and problems in learning could make this process more conscious and fruitful. This is significant, particularly at a time when traditional universities are increasingly moving into online education. To address the gaps in previous self-regulated learning…

Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) research includes examination and development of second language learners' cognitive and metacognitive self-regulated learning skills, but the affective learning component of self-regulation in this context remains largely unexplored. Support for affective learning, which is defined by learners' beliefs,…

Considerable effort has been invested in innovative learning practices in English Foreign Language courses (EFL) in universities. Flipped classroom model transforms passive listeners into active learners in school and home activities pace. Flipped classroom model and the foreign language teaching methods are student-centred learning environments…

Teaching intercultural communicative competence (ICC) is still a challenging goal to achieve in English as a Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) education. ESL/EFL instructors teaching in textbook-based educational contexts require more tangible approaches to designing and implementing purposeful intercultural language teaching that amplifies the…

This conceptual article begins with a general definition of reflection and the soft skills of PBL: collaboration, agency, and metacognition. Then it presents theoretical frameworks for reflection from second language teacher education (SLTE) (Farrell, 2015; Pennington & Richards, 2016) and illustrates six types of reflection with examples from…

Given the significance of cultivating students' autonomous learning ability, there is a need to develop an instructional model that can improve students' awareness and behavior of autonomous learning, as well as to explore the effectiveness and optimization of this model effectively. Taking college English course as a case study, this paper…

Many adult second and foreign language learners have insufficient opportunities to engage in language learning. However, their successful acquisition of a target language is critical for various reasons, including their fast integration in a host country and their smooth adaptation to new work or educational settings. This suggests that they need…

This qualitative research investigates students' resistance to autonomous learning activities in an English language course at a university in Lebanon. Data was gathered across four sections of English 101 based on observations of 68 students, focus group discussions and two teachers' reflective diaries. Thematic analysis yielded that students…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide digital learning spaces for individualized professional development that may create opportunities in teacher education and support language teachers. Language teachers need continuous professional development to develop their digital literacies, and further research is essential to investigate new…

Despite extensive studies on self-regulated learning in the past three decades, there is still little research exploring self-regulated learning on foreign language vocabulary acquisition. Therefore, in a classroom-based context, this study explores the effectiveness of a course design that promotes self-regulated learning coupled with formative…

The roles of self-regulation and structuration in mobile learning are poorly understood. This study therefore examines these aspects in relation to the design and use of mobile technology in an online language learning setting. The online self-regulated learning (SRL) instrument was adopted to measure students' perceived level of self-regulation.…

In recent years, the flipped classroom has become prevalent in many educational settings. Flipped classroom adopts a pedagogical model in which short video lectures are viewed by students at home before class so that the teacher can lead students to participate in activities, problem-solving, and discussions. Yet the design or use of technology…

This volume addresses issues related to English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teaching practices as well as ESP teacher education as they arise in today's constantly changing and developing world. "ESP Teaching and Teacher Education: Current Theories and Practices?," supported by the Language Centre of the Cyprus University of Technology,…

The concept of self-regulated learning has been a prominent topic in education and has been researched and applied to various educational fields. In the field of TESOL, self-regulation has been categorized into dimensions and linked with possible application tools to help ESL/EFL students better apply and develop related skills (Andrade and Evans…
