Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) offers a modern setting for learners to engage in meaningful (meta)cognitive and socioemotional interactions. However, the task design, not technology alone, significantly shapes students' learning interactions. This study investigates how a conceptual physics task and a hands-on robotics task…

This study qualitatively develops further understandings regarding knowledge and identity construction within computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) research by applying discourse analysis and the dialogical self theory (DST) to investigate the role of interpersonal and intrapersonal voices in facilitating knowledge construction. We…

This multi-stage study introduces a comprehensive set of considerations to inform task design for pedagogical purposes in computer-based L2 listening environments. Using a 360-degree approach to consideration construction and validation, which included bottom-up and top-down perspectives, this study engaged participants with diverse backgrounds in…

The present investigation aimed to assess the use of scaffolding strategies by young English as a second language learners who carried out communicative tasks in the context of high-immersive virtual reality (HVR) (Kaplan-Rakowski & Gruber, 2019). More specifically, 24 students enrolled in an intensive program in the province of Quebec,…

This study investigates the efficacy of task-based chatbots in enhancing speaking skills and shaping the attitudes toward language learning of L2 learners while fostering a translanguaging space. The research employs a mixed-methods approach through quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. A sample of 80 L2 learners participated in…

This paper proposes an updated framework for the evaluation of the computer-assisted language learning (CALL) framework, further developed from Chapelle (2001) and González-Lloret and Ortega (2014). Based on a review of prominent previous CALL evaluation frameworks, an exploration of relevant literature in formal evaluation and my own first-hand…

This research considers the need to train teachers who can effectively integrate technology for teaching and learning mathematics. The primary goal of this research is to showcase a successful training experience by identifying and describing some indicators of the technological pedagogical content knowledge acquired by pre-service early childhood…

Background: Misconceptions are unjustified beliefs about a topic. Nonetheless, they are pervasive among educational practitioners. Although the internet can be a powerful tool to learn and debunk misconceptions, their use requires competencies like navigating through search engine results pages (SERPs), evaluating the reliability of content, and…

Grounded in the activity theory, we adopted a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach to explore the impact of automated written corrective feedback (AWCF) on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' academic writing skills (i.e. task achievement, coherence and cohesion, lexicon, and grammatical range and accuracy). To this end, two…

There has been much debate in assessment research about the inclusion of Global English accents in high-stakes listening tests. This study explored test-takers' attitudes toward the inclusion of different English accents in the Duolingo English Test (DET) 2021 test version and their associations with listening test scores. One hundred sixty…

Aim/Purpose: This study examines the effects of the mobile-assisted task-based language teaching (M-TBLT) approach on EFL learners' oral production. It evaluates three key second language acquisition measures: complexity (syntactic and lexical), accuracy (error-free clauses and correct verb forms), and fluency (unpruned and pruned speech rates).…
