Epistemic agency is a significant factor in fostering teachers' innovation. Although previous research has highlighted the positive impact of epistemic agency on language teachers' knowledge creation, few studies have examined the role of this agency in navigating opportunities and challenges in an artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated context,…

While willingness to communicate (WTC) is crucial for success in learning English as a foreign language (EFL), many Chinese EFL students prioritize test performance over communication skills, which hampers their language learning outcomes. Self-determination theory suggests that need-supportive teaching can improve students' motivation by…

Conversational tutoring systems (CTSs) offer a promising avenue for individualized learning support, especially in domains like persuasive writing. Although these systems have the potential to enhance the learning process, the specific role of learner control and inter- activity within them remains underexplored. This paper introduces…

This paper examines the implications of platforms as a repertoire for knowing and relating the intensities of pandemic restrictions on teaching and schoolwork. Building on platformisation in education, what work platforms do in unpredictable everyday pedagogical encounters is investigated. Specifically, the paper explores a methodological…

We examined how generalized and mathematics-specific language skills predicted the word-problem performance of students with mathematics difficulty. Participants were 325 third-grade students in the southwestern United States who performed at or below the 25th percentile on a word-problem measure. We assessed generalized language skills in word…

This paper explores the possibilities for student agency for multilingual learners. Drawing on sociocultural understandings of agency, the discussion provides a portrait of literacy policy across the United States and its influence on opportunities for multilingual learners during literacy instruction. Exploring past and current policies aimed at…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) has been one of the essential core skills for future students. However, we found that there are many studies on the evaluation of collaborative problem-solving skills, but there is little studies on the subject areas based on which collaborative problem-solving skills have been evaluated. The three-dimensional…

This article discusses the analytic-evocative autoethnographic exploration of my learning experiences planning for, facilitating, participating in, and reflecting on a series of expressive writing workshops for women-identifying Canadians who have served in the military.

This study examines the effectiveness of the Tamil-English Bilingual Method on vocabulary acquisition among Tamil-medium higher secondary school students in Tamil Nadu. Vocabulary development is a critical component of second language learning, particularly in contexts where exposure to English outside the classroom is limited. A…

Misinformation in digital media is growing at an exponential rate. The rapid growth of technologies such as social media and artificial intelligence necessitates the skills to navigate through the vast amount of digital media information. Education in digital media literacy is critical to ensure students do not fall prey to easily manipulated…

A collective intelligence factor (CI) was introduced by prior research to characterise the cognitive ability of groups. Surprisingly, individual intelligence did not predict CI. Instead, it correlated with individual social sensitivity, the equality of conversational turn-taking, and the proportion of females in a group. However, these findings…

For both first-year teachers and veterans, closing a lesson and assessing whether students met learning goals is a persistent challenge. This article explores how teachers using demanding, discourse-rich tasks can make informed decisions about when to move on in a lesson. Specifically, the author considers a "launch-explore-share and…

Economies and societies run on skills. But aging populations and technological disruption are accelerating skills gaps, which threaten to become a skills chasm without the right interventions. Those include a greater focus on making learning more effective and rethinking pathways to success in school and at work. Such changes would produce…
