Online learning programs provide real time feedback and offer some degree of access to "real" oral communication, yet these platforms, for the most part, involve using the software in isolation. Though Rosetta Stone is designed for independent learning, the present study experiments with a model for implementing it as a collaborative…

Despite the proliferation of help options for computer-based second language (L2) listening comprehension, little attention has been given to a comprehensive understanding of the pedagogical effects. To gain a thorough understanding of the overall and moderator effects, drawing on the activity theory (AT), this study conducted a meta-analysis of…

A systematic review examining the efficacy of commercially available foreign language-learning apps (FLL) was completed. A database search of ERIC, PsychINFO, and LearnTechLib produced 1,786 journal articles. After applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria based on Burston's seminal study (2015) requiring a minimum number of 10…

The recent advancement in technology has attracted learners' attention worldwide to Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for educational purposes. While GenAI has shown promising results for general language purposes (Godwin-Jones, 2023; Xiao & Zhi, 2023), the potential of GenAI for language learning has not been fully explored. This…

Mobile apps are becoming part and parcel of our daily lives. Hence, this study examined the differential effects of app modes on listening comprehension and recognition. From a pool of Egyptian EFL sophomores, 107 students were randomly assigned into 3 groups practicing mobile-assisted listening in 3 modalities: Unimodal (n = 35), Bimodal (n =…

The design of tasks to induce learning from audiovisual input is vital for second/foreign language teachers and has attracted a good deal of attention in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) research. This study presents a new contribution to research in this area by investigating learner engagement in the context of vocabulary learning…

Chatbots have shown great potential for language learning. However, previous studies have reported mixed results on the efficiency of chatbot-assisted language learning (CALL). This study integrated the results of previous experimental studies on CALL by using meta-analysis to explore its effectiveness. A total of 61 samples from 18 studies were…

Purpose: This research investigated college student preferences for and engagement in mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) classes and whether the level of class engagement differed among students according to class preferences. Design/methodology/approach: Using a mixed-methods approach, 115 first-year college students who were experiencing…

Despite the rapid growth of integrating language learning applications into educational settings, limited studies have reported students' continuance intention to use mobile English learning applications in the mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) context. This study extended the expectation confirmation model (ECM) with mobile self-efficacy…

Evidence that L2 learners of Spanish overgeneralize indirect object pronouns (OPs) to direct object contexts with human referents and direct OPs to indirect object contexts with nonhuman referents has been provided by Zyzik (2006), Malovrh (2008), and Olsen and Juffs (2022). However, the effect of instruction on this phenomenon has not been…

This comprehensive systematic review synthesizes thirty-four peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2022, utilizing eye-tracking research within interactive language learning environments. Following the PRISMA scheme for article selection, this review illuminates both the affordances and challenges of eye-tracking technology in…

We are developing a Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system for learners of Icelandic as a second and foreign language (L2). Based on pre-designed tasks in pronunciation exercises, this system will provide corrective feedback on learners' speech. One of the main features we are implementing is a new method for automatic…

This paper proposes an updated framework for the evaluation of the computer-assisted language learning (CALL) framework, further developed from Chapelle (2001) and González-Lloret and Ortega (2014). Based on a review of prominent previous CALL evaluation frameworks, an exploration of relevant literature in formal evaluation and my own first-hand…

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of explicit information (EI) in the context of Processing Instruction (PI) as an alternative to traditional teaching methods. PI encompasses explicit information and structured input activity (SI). However, the effectiveness of EI has been a subject of debate. To address this question, grade-7…

The Objective of the study was to ascertain how Rosetta Stone in English class affected students' ability to pronounce English. This methodology employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with 30 samples split into two groups. The technique used was non-probability sampling. Pronunciation test technique was employed for data collecting.…
