The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) was employed to evaluate and rank language-learning applications based on criteria such as engagement, interactivity, feedback, content quality and usability. A pairwise comparison matrix was constructed, fuzzy logic was applied to convert qualitative judgements into numerical values, and these values…

Research indicates that high-immersion virtual reality (VR) has several unique affordances for language learning that contribute to learning outcomes, such as boosting learners' confidence, engagement, and motivation. However, little is known about the extent to which VR promotes language skills, in particular learners' verbal interaction using a…

Introduction: The current research project subsumes a vibrant analysis of the convoluted essence of reading comprehension, with the aim of exploring the diverse deficits learners encounter to assimilate texts in law in the English language at the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, University of Bejaia, Algeria. Then, it attempts to find…

Virtual reality is a rapidly developing technology and its applications are being explored in a variety of educational fields. While an increasing amount of attention is being paid to VR as a language learning tool, there remains less research on using VR with languages other than English. Adapting the Technology Acceptance Model, this study…

This book brings together a team of leading international scholars to explore the rich inter-section of technology and second language (L2) learning and teaching. This innovative volume offers a unique blend of cutting-edge empirical research, pedagogy-informed perspectives, and practical applications for educators, administrators, and researchers…

Background: This study was motivated by the need to enhance Mandarin learning through embodied interactions and physical engagement methods. While most studies confirm the positive effects of touchscreen devices on learning, mixed findings suggest a need for more engaging methods. This research addresses these gaps by exploring the benefits of…

Despite contemporary research calls for promoting learners' feedback dialogue, how feedback dialogue occurs and contributes to learners' uptake has been little addressed. This study on 28 pairs of EFL undergraduates attempts to explore the process of feedback dialogue, its potential and the main factors affecting it. The data collected from…

With the enhancement of internet medium and development of science and technology, interactive technologies have gradually emerged in the field of language education. However, previous empirical studies and meta-analyses have focused on the impact of specific types of technologies. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively synthesize the…

English as a foreign language (EFL) students' use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools that generate human-like text may enhance students' written work. However, the extent to which students use AI-generated text to complete a written composition and how AI-generated text influences the overall writing quality remain uncertain. 23 Hong Kong…

The purpose of the study was to examine students' learning experience with Google Meet, a virtual learning tool in tertiary contexts in Vietnam. The explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used with the participation of 188 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Vietnamese students at a private university in Vietnam. Findings from both the…

Research into the multimodal aspects of language is increasingly important as communication through a screen plays a greater role in modern society than ever before (Liou, 2011). Multimodality has been explored from a number of angles relating to computer-mediated communication (CMC), such as its affordances and impact on language learners,…

This investigation utilized a phenomenological approach to investigate the experience of English language educators in employing artificial intelligence (AI) tools into English language learning. The study used purposive sampling and 20 participants were interviewed. The data analysis was guided by Bronfenbrenner's (1979) ecological systems…

In the last decade, there has been a great deal of interest in language MOOCs (LMOOCs) and their potential to offer learning opportunities for large audiences, including those in disadvantaged communities. However, experiences and research have shown MOOCs to suffer from several challenges. Chief among these have been low participation and…

In ubiquitous learning, authentic experiences are captured and later reused as those are rich resources for foreign vocabulary development. This article presents an experiential theory-oriented approach to the design of learning analytics support for sharing and reusing authentic experiences. In this regard, first, a conceptual framework to…

This book brings together contributions on learner autonomy from a myriad of contexts to advance our understanding of what autonomous language learning looks like with digital tools, and how this understanding is shaped by and can shape different socio-institutional, curricular, and instructional support. To this end, the individual contributions…
