Peijian Paul Sun; Zeqi Ren; Xian Zhao – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Student engagement has been conceptualised and operationalised in various learning environments. However, there is currently a lack of established scales to measure student engagement in synchronous online learning. One possible reason is the existence of the conceptual and structural ambiguity regarding student engagement. Objective:…

Aysel Sahin Kizil; Blanka Klimova; Marcel Pikhart; Antigoni Parmaxi – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: The rise of intelligent chatbots powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning has ignited interest in their potential for revolutionising second language (L2) acquisition and foreign language learning (FLL). While their potential seems vast, understanding their actual impact on learning outcomes requires comprehensive…

Zixuan Cheng; Peijian Paul Sun – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: While a substantial number of studies have investigated English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL/L2 English) anxiety, they predominantly examined it from a unidimensional perspective, overlooking the potential insights offered by examining language-skill-specific L2 anxiety from a multidimensional lens. Moreover, prior research has…

Alamer, Abdullah; Al Khateeb, Ahmed; Jeno, Lucas M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) has long been advocated to promote students' language study outcomes. However, little is known about how using instant messaging applications (an example of MALL) affect student motivation, language anxiety, and actual achievement. Objectives: To help close this gap, we have conducted a…

Peijian Paul Sun; Xinran Luo – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: In a context where synchronous online teaching has become a new trend of instruction for online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is valuable and insightful to examine what factors contribute to teachers' satisfaction with synchronous online teaching. Objective: Informed by the technology acceptance model (TAM), this study…

Razagifard, P. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2013
This paper reports on a study investigating the potential effect of synchronous and asynchronous text-based computer-mediated communication (CMC) on oral fluency development of second-language (L2) learners. Sixty-three intermediate learners of English were randomly assigned to one of three groups (two experimental groups and one control group),…
