This study aims to investigate the impact of the flipped classroom (FC) on students' grammatical competence. To achieve that, a mixed-methods approach was adopted using a quasi-experimental research design to examine the differences between a control (n=20) and an experimental group (n=20) from two different high schools based in Morocco. The…

In this article, the author offers the example of a collegelevel writing course exploring Mexican foodways in the United States as a way to consider the "funds of knowledge" Latinx students, and all students, can use to explore communities. He argues that in a globally connected and multilingual world, the influence of foodways across…

How can we identify authentic reading material that matches the learner's proficiency and fosters their language development? Traditionally, this involves assigning a one-dimensional label to the text that identifies the grade or proficiency level of the learners that the text is intended for. Such an approach is inadequate given that both the…

Teaching some concepts in statistics greatly benefits from individual practice with immediate feedback. In order to provide such practice to a large number of students we have written a simulator based on an historical event: the loss in May 22, 1968, and subsequent search for the nuclear submarine USS Scorpion. Students work on a simplified…

Emotions have an essential impact on students' learning outcome. Empirical findings show negative correlations between negative emotions and learning outcome. Negative emotions during learning are quite common and become more frequent over the course of an academic career. Thus, regulating these emotions is important. Existing studies indicate…

This study aims to integrate kinesthetic technology and collaborative learning into total physical response (TPR) and to investigate the effect of collaborative total physical response (CTPR) on English language acquisition by high school students. To accomplish this, we utilized Microsoft Kinects to develop Collaborative Kinesthetic English…

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) on Iranian EFL learners' vocabulary learning. Furthermore, this study was an attempt to explore if there is any difference between the impact of CALL instruction on Iranian male and female EFL learners' vocabulary learning. Therefore, 50 homogeneous…

Universities are increasingly looking towards online technology to assist their students. Grammarly advertises itself as the world's most accurate online grammar checker, yet little research exists on its performance as a feedback tool in universities. This paper reports on a study investigating students' perceptions of Grammarly when used in…

The use of videoconferencing technology to support the delivery of language programs shows great potential in regional and rural settings where a lack of access to specialist teachers limits equitable access to education. In this article, we investigate the establishment of two regional and rural primary school networks in Australia for…

A possible path towards preserving and remediating driving skills while aging is driver training. Previous studies have yielded mixed results with respect to various types of interventions, such as classroom-based training, on-road driving classes and functional abilities training. The present study-incorporated training features found to be…

Language classrooms are complex systems, but theory often simplifies these processes making researching effectiveness difficult. Assemblage theory -- a theory of complexity in the social sciences -- allows us to examine complexity in the language classroom. In this paper, I present an account of the language classroom that captures the complexity,…

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is a crucial 21st century skill; however, current technologies fall short of effectively supporting CPS processes, especially for remote, computer-enabled interactions. In order to develop next-generation computer-supported collaborative systems that enhance CPS processes and outcomes by monitoring and…

Opportunities matter when it comes to students' math attitudes and performance. Over two semesters, across treatment sections of college algebra students, we implemented a set of dynamic computer activities linking animations and graphs. Across all sections, we administered a fully online survey of students' attitudes toward math. Using mixed…

Learner-centered education (LCE) is an instructional model that focuses on learners and the learning process as opposed to instructors and the instructional process. LCE has been the impetus for the move from the traditional instructional paradigm to a new learning paradigm that provides learners with authentic, autonomous, and more effective…

This article describes a simple exercise using a free, easy-to-use, established online program. The exercise helps to reinforce protein purification concepts and introduces undergraduates to pH as a parameter that affects anion-exchange chromatography. The exercise was tested with biochemistry majors at California State University-Chico. Given the…
