Chu, Shih-Ting; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Chien, Shu-Yun; Chang, Shao-Chen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
In recent years, several studies have reported the potential of employing digital games in EFL (English as Foreign Language) courses to promote students' learning motivation. However, scholars have pointed out that students generally lack self-learning ability, which is the key to the success of learning a foreign language. Therefore, it is…

Reynolds, Eric D.; Fuchs, Richard W.; Johnson, Peter – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2021
The landscape of technology in language classrooms is changing so quickly that it's hard for us to keep pace. Games-based student response systems (GBSRS) in a bring-your-own-device environment have only recently become widely available for language classrooms; consequently, little research has been conducted into the efficacy of GBSRSs for…

Qian Xu; Jennifer C. Richardson – Online Learning, 2024
Scholars indicated that learners who are strategic with their language learning (e.g., selfregulated learning [SRL], cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies) tend to be more efficient, resourceful, and flexible, and thus have better language learning outcomes (Oxford, 2016; Heo et al., 2012; Plonsky, 2011). Besides focusing on the knowledge,…

Calvo-Ferrer, José Ramón – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2021
The frequency of word exposure in teaching materials, along with corrective feedback, has often been identified as a powerful variable in the learning of vocabulary in a foreign language. The effect of the number of times an action is presented as accurate in digital game-based language learning scenarios (i.e., knowledge of correct response [KCR]…
