Although the effectiveness and experiences of computer-based examinations is a widely investigated area of research, the question of whether and how computer-based assessment limits or heightens the experience of negative test emotions remains largely unexamined. Drawing from the control-value theory of achievement emotions, we investigated…

This study inspected how techno-competence in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven evaluations affected EFL learners' boredom, self-esteem, and writing skills. To do so, 66 Saudi Arabian male students from Saudi Arabia participated in the study. They were then split into the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG). While the CG was…

The introduction of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory (SCT) into the second language (L2) domain provides a potential site to explore the mechanisms underlying L2 learners' cognitive modification and the transformation of social understanding into the personal one. This study provided a picture of L2 personalization in two groups of advanced and…

This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of e-assessment in higher education from the perspective of students, and it also examines the student's reaction to this method.
