Despite the increasing use of conversational artificial intelligence (AI) in language learning, few studies explored how to develop collaborative partnership between AIs and humans. This systematic review examines empirical evidence of human-computer collaboration from 24 studies conducted in an AI-integrated language learning environment and…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest growing technologies today. Its extraordinary scope and capabilities have led people of all ages and abilities to employ it in many of their activities. Language learning is a lifetime experience that could benefit from the use of AI and thus it is worth exploring people's awareness of this…

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…

Although Global Englishes (GE) research continues to grow in English language teaching (ELT), the role of technology in enhancing GE awareness remains underexplored. Addressing this gap, the study investigates the potential of English as a lingua franca (ELF) interactions with artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots in raising GE awareness. Using a…

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…

The increasing integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, in education has prompted growing interest in their pedagogical potential and the emergent competencies required for their effective use in language instruction. While generative AI is beginning to influence language teaching and learning practices,…

Artificial intelligence has recently seen tremendous growth, and been applied to several fields, including the second-language domain. In this article, we share an innovative practice based on one of potential artificial intelligence technologies for second-language teaching and learning -- artificial intelligence-based content generator, which…

Role-play activities are considered a useful instructional design in enhancing the speaking performance of foreign language learners. However, in the traditional classroom context, learners may not readily have access to interlocutors for role-play activities. In this study, we proposed a designed method that integrated the GenAI agent into…

The study investigates the effects of AI-enhanced multi-display language teaching systems on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Utilizing a pretest-posttest random assignment experimental design, the research involved 302 EFL students aged 19 to 28 in a higher education setting. The study examines the effects of AI-powered virtual…

This study investigates the efficacy of task-based chatbots in enhancing speaking skills and shaping the attitudes toward language learning of L2 learners while fostering a translanguaging space. The research employs a mixed-methods approach through quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. A sample of 80 L2 learners participated in…

Although AI technologies show great promise for education, their inclusion into assessment systems has generated debates regarding student motivation, anxiety, learning opportunities, and academic results. This study explored the influence of teacher support in AI-assisted exams on L2 learners' demotivation, anxiety, L2 learning experience, and…

The importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in second/foreign language (L2) education has recently captured the attention of several scholars. However, the current scope of literature lacks a cross-cultural investigation into teachers' AI-readiness. To bridge the gap, this study employed a semi-structured interview to unveil the perceptions of…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly become a pivotal force in education, offering personalized learning pathways and dynamic solutions to longstanding instructional challenges. In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, idiomatic competence remains a challenging aspect of language development, often eluding effective coverage through…

This study investigates the effectiveness of a computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT) system on second language learners' acquisition of three grammatical features. It presents a CAPT system on top of a phoneme-based, fine-tuned speech recognition model, and is intended to deliver explicit, corrective feedback on the pronunciation of the…

Several barriers hinder students from producing clear and impactful written work. Writing assignments are often given on an individual basis, similar to homework, and without any assistance. Students in a classroom context have access to both their classmates and the teacher while they are working in groups or pairs as part of their assignments.…
