Hong, Jon-Chao; Hwang, Ming-Yueh; Liu, Yi-Hsuan; Tai, Kai-Hsin – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
Different types of gamification can be advantageous to enhancing students' learning. In contrast to the extant gamification literature focusing on designing reward systems and/or facilitating teachers' gamification of learning contents, this study focuses on the gamifying of learning content by students. To verify the efficacy of gamification as a…

Dashtestani, Reza; Hojatpanah, Shamimeh – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
Promoting students' digital literacy has become a significant challenge for educational authorities and course designers. However, very limited attention has been directed toward junior high school students' digital literacy in the literature of computer-assisted language learning (CALL). Thus, this mixed-methods study explored junior high school…

Tai, Tzu-Yu; Chen, Howard Hao-Jan; Todd, Graeme – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
VR technology allows learners to access simulated, immersive and interactive virtual environments to perform authentic learning activities. In particular, VR has emerged as a valuable tool for L2 learning. However, VR research has tended to pay more attention to desktop-based VR than to VR via mobile-rendered HMDs, leaving the potentials of VR…

Tseng, Jun-Jie – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2016
Researchers have been keen to develop instruments for the assessment of teachers' self-perceived technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK); however, few studies have been conducted to validate such assessment tools through students' perspectives in the context of English as a foreign language (EFL). The purpose of this study was thus to…

Mohsen, Mohammed Ali – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2016
Several types of help options have been incorporated into reading and listening comprehension activities to aid second language (L2) vocabulary acquisition. Textbook authors, teachers, and sometimes even students may pick and choose which help options they wish to use. In this paper, I investigate the effects of two help options in a multimedia…
