Adapted from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Integrated Model of Technology Acceptance (IMTA) has been used to examine the perceptions and acceptance of computer-assisted language learning (CALL), such as online learning, mobile learning, and learning management systems. However, whether IMTA can be applied to empirical research on…

As international students increasingly pursue higher education in English-dominant countries, developing their academic writing skills is crucial. However, limited access to individualized feedback remains a challenge. AI-driven tools and self-assessment offer promising solutions, making feedback more accessible. This study involved 50…

Automated writing evaluation (AWE) systems have been introduced to ESL/EFL classes in the hopes of reducing teachers' workloads and improving students' writing by providing instant holistic scores and corrective feedback (Jiang & Yu, 2020; Link et al., 2014; Ranalli & Yamashita, 2019; Warschauer & Ware, 2006). When it comes to…

With the increasing recognition of the pedagogical applications of corpus linguistics, there has been a growing interest in developing teachers' corpus literacy to popularize the use of corpora in language education. This longitudinal study investigated Arab Gulf EFL student teachers' immediate and long-term responses to corpus literacy…

In this article, we focus on the design of a second language (L2) formative feedback system that provides linguistic complexity graph reports on the writings of English for special purposes students at the university level. The system is evaluated in light of formative instruction features pointed out in the literature. The significance of…

Grounded in the three-tiered transdisciplinary SLA framework of the Douglas Fir Group (2016), we explore how the concept of 'semiotic resources' may be integrated into CALL activity designs. Starting at the macro level, we discuss how language ideology may influence where to situate semiotic resources within initial design considerations. We next…

This study aims to investigate the identity and attitudes towards the past, present and future of the first and second year MA students in the "Digital Teacher of English" specialization conducted at a university in Poland. During the academic year 2017/2018, a questionnaire administered to 30 pre-service teachers revealed that according…

In this study, the participants learned English as a foreign language (EFL) in the classroom and then worked on five learning tasks to apply their newly learned knowledge to unfamiliar environments. The participants took photos of people, objects, situations or scenarios and described them in detail using a mobile learning system. Familiarization…

The study investigates the use of the hybrid method in the teaching and learning of English reading for speakers of English as a second language. Through an interview, a questionnaire and class observation, the research seeks to investigate the benefits and drawbacks that the hybrid model would possibly bring to the course.

This study explores the differences between face-to-face (FTF) interaction and text-synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) regarding corrective feedback (CF). Eight native speakers (NSs) and eight second language learners were paired up and divided into two groups: instructed and uninstructed. Native speakers in the instructed group…

The emergence of virtual worlds and simulation games provide ample opportunities for developing cultural competence by offering a visual, contextual, immersive, and interactive experience. Learners can benefit from contextual interactions and develop cultural competencies by fulfilling quests or exploring the environment. However, most of the…

The subject of computers in language learning was not covered at a postgraduate level in Greece independently but as an add-on module in more broad programmes, such as "applied linguistics" or "TEFL." In such programmes, this module was merely scratching the surface of the subject, leaving students with the impression that…

We developed a story creation platform that allows for collaborative content creation in a 3D environment by utilizing avatars, animations, objects, and backgrounds. Our story envisioning platform provides a shared virtual space that promotes collaborative interaction for story construction, involving a high degree of learner input and control. It…

Contribution: A flipped classroom approach to teaching empirical software engineering increases student learning by providing more time for active learning in class. Background: There is a need for longitudinal studies of the flipped classroom approach in general. Although a few cross-sectional studies show that a flipped classroom approach can…

The purpose of this study was to compare the attitude of Iranian and non-Iranian English language students' attitudes towards Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Furthermore, the relations of gender, education level, and age to their attitude are investigated. A convergent mixed methods design was used for analyzing both quantitative and…
