Undergraduate research can stimulate students' interest, especially in STEM disciplines. This research can be formally offered in different formats such as Undergraduate Research Experiences (UREs). One of these is Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs), which are offered as an integral part of scheduled courses. CUREs have been…

This interdisciplinary book uses key examples and specific case studies from the 'Trailblazers' of Anglia Ruskin University, UK, to address the successes and challenges experienced during the creation, development, and running of breadth modules. It's been carefully written to support anyone looking to implement this innovative method into their…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has significant potential in foreign language learning and teaching, and various scientific studies that monitor, investigate, and examine developments in this field have been conducted for many years. In fact, with the increasing importance and popularity of AI, there has been an observed growth in the number of…

Research on the use of ChatGPT in education has proliferated in the past years. However, there is limited understanding of how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners engage emotionally with and utilize ChatGPT during the pre-writing stage. Furthermore, how learners' affective engagement (emotional responses) with this tool in the planning…

English academic presentation (EAP) is an indispensable skill set of academic communication for university students. With the rapid development of desktop virtual reality (DVR), its application in language learning is worth exploring. The present study aimed to examine whether there is an improvement and difference in students' EAP by learning…

Active learning promises improved educational outcomes yet depends on students' sustained motivation to engage in practice. Goal setting can enhance learner engagement. However, past evidence of the effectiveness of setting goals tends to be limited to non-digital learning settings and does not scale well as it requires active teacher or parent…

This research delves into the transformative potential of humanoid robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), spotlighting their innovative contributions to modern language instruction. With a focus on robot-assisted language learning (RALL) and AI-powered tools, particularly…

Although mobile technologies are commonly used to support language learning, there is a lack of research to comprehensively determine the acceptance, readiness, affordances, and challenges in this area. To address this gap, this systematic literature review selected 49 articles indexed in the Scopus database between 2013 and 2022. This study found…

In an increasingly globalized world, translation technologies are critical in facilitating language comprehension and translation performance, especially among college EFL students. Despite their potential, the factors impacting their actual use in tertiary education remain underexplored. This study employs the UTAUT2 model to identify…

This paper examines how language-based artificial intelligence is envisaged to imagine new futures for indigenous languages. It draws on the visions, programmes, and plans of six language initiatives that are developing language technology for often-marginalised indigenous, tribal, and minority (ITM) languages, such as Gondi, Maithili, Rajasthani…

This study examines the contribution that generative AI (ChatGPT) can make to the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) of mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) when addressing pedagogical and mathematical events. The study involved 15 experienced MTEs who were tasked with planning training sessions for elementary school teachers. The…

Grammatical knowledge for effective English writing remains a significant need among Thai university students, while identifying the relevant grammatical topics to address this need continues to be a challenge in teaching writing courses. Previous papers on writing in Thai universities have mainly focused on writing performance issues, rather than…

This paper reflected on the traditional lecture teaching method and proposed an alternative English translation teaching method based on 3D computer vision technology to increase student interest in translation, improve students' translation ability, and compensate for the shortcomings of traditional translation teaching methods. Through…

This study aims to provide a descriptive and bibliometric analysis of the trend of artificial intelligence (AI) application in the development of computational thinking (CT) skills in publications from 2007 to 2024. A total of 191 articles were obtained from Scopus database with certain keywords, and analyzed using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. The…

This study explored how integrating e-learning tools, specifically free 'Google Workspace for Education' tools, enhances teaching proficiency and student engagement in the digital age within Rwandan secondary schools. By employing a phenomenological approach, interviews were conducted with 166 secondary teachers from four purposefully selected…
