Direct linkTai, Tzu-Yu; Chen, Howard Hao-Jan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Virtual reality via mobile-rendered head-mounted displays (MVR) has emerged as a valuable language learning tool. However, research has yet to fully access its effects on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) listening. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of MVR on EFL learners' listening comprehension. Seventy-two seventh graders in…

Thomas, Michael; Schneider, Christel – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2018
This article is based on findings arising from a large, two-year EU project entitled "Creating Machinima to Enhance Online Language Learning and Teaching" (CAMELOT), which was the first to investigate the potential of machinima, a form of virtual filmmaking that uses screen captures to record activity in immersive 3D environments, for…

Living in a global world involves not only mastering languages, but also dealing with different habits and values. It becomes critical with students trained to deal with a multicultural public, such as the group of learners from tourism covered by our research. Our proposal aims to analyze whether the virtual world of Second Life (SL) facilitates…

Melchor-Couto, Sabela – ReCALL, 2018
In recent years, a considerably high number of research studies have looked into the use of virtual worlds (VWs) for language learning. A number of authors have hypothesised about the effects of anonymity when foreign language interactions are conducted via VWs. This study addresses the effect that the anonymity experienced in VW interaction may…

Howard, Craig D.; Do, Jaewoo – Teaching English with Technology, 2017
Participation in interactive games, especially those in immersive environments, is often employed in learning contexts to stochastically develop L2 learners' language ability. However, typical measures of language ability often do not reflect pragmatic competencies. This study juxtaposes two elementary school ESL learners' language ability, and…

Safar, Ammar H.; Al-Jafar, Ali A.; Al-Yousefi, Zainab H. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
This experimental research study scrutinized the effectiveness of using augmented reality (AR) applications (apps) as a teaching and learning tool when instructing kindergarten children in the English alphabet in the State of Kuwait. The study compared two groups: (a) experimental, taught using AR apps, and (b) control, taught using traditional…

Peyghambarian, Farideh; Ashraf, Hamid; Fatemi, Mohammad Ali – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2014
GoEnglish.Me can provide EFL learners with authentic materials in a variety of topics. In addition to authentic materials, the site can offer an opportunity of learning real Spoken English by American Native Speakers. To achieve the purpose of this study, you can probe the effect of GoEnglish.Me on lower-intermediate EFL learners' speaking…

Yang, Mau-Tsuen; Liao, Wan-Che – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2014
The physical-virtual immersion and real-time interaction play an essential role in cultural and language learning. Augmented reality (AR) technology can be used to seamlessly merge virtual objects with real-world images to realize immersions. Additionally, computer vision (CV) technology can recognize free-hand gestures from live images to enable…

Yang, Jie Chi; Chen, Chih Hung; Jeng, Ming Chang – Computers & Education, 2010
The aim of this study is to design and develop a Physically Interactive Learning Environment, the PILE system, by integrating video-capture virtual reality technology into a classroom. The system is designed for elementary school level English classes where students can interact with the system through physical movements. The system is designed to…

Leahy, Christine – ReCALL, 2004
This article draws on second language theory, particularly output theory as defined by Swain (1995), in order to conceptualise observations made in a computer-assisted language learning setting. It investigates second language output and learner behaviour within an electronic role-play setting, based on a subject-specific problem solving task and…
