Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the education landscape and has been widely applied to language teaching and learning. This study investigates the transformative potential of AI-driven Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools in enhancing writing proficiency, focusing on language precision, content summarization, and creative writing…

In this essay, I suggest that we should embrace generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) writing tools, particularly chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude), because they can enable linguistic equity by leveling the academic playing field for English as an additional language students. As writing experts, we can find ways to use this…

Background/purpose: The study examined the potential benefits and concerns of implementing ChatGPT, an advanced tool of artificial intelligence technology, in the realm of teaching and learning. Materials/methods: A systematic review was conducted, detailing the processes of inclusion and exclusion criteria, selection, data extraction, and…

Technological advances have made the ability to translate no longer exclusively belong to humans. Today, machine translation has turned into a tool with superior performance to convert text between languages without the need for human intervention. One of the translation research foci is the studies of causative translation, especially from…

Adapting the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework, this study investigates English teachers' perspectives on the intention to adopt and integrate ChatGPT in their classrooms. This study utilizes quantitative cross-sectional research with 114 respondents answering the online questionnaire. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) statistical…

While recent and significant progress made in natural language processing and artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to drastically influence the field of language education, many language educators and administrators remain unfamiliar with these recent technological advances and their pedagogical implications. The primary purpose of this…

While artificial intelligence technology has been employed in different aspects of education for some time, the recent launch of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, has made a larger number of people aware of the advanced capabilities of these types of AI programs. Any time a new technology is introduced, the potential benefits it may have for…

We investigated whether learning and retaining vocabulary in a second language (L2) can be improved by leveraging a combination of memory enhancement techniques. Specifically, we tested whether combining retrieval practice, spacing, and related manipulations in a 'multidomain' pedagogical approach enhances vocabulary acquisition as compared to a…

Background: Introducing new technologies in education sparks debates, disrupting traditional practices, and requiring teacher adaptation. ChatGPT is an example. Research explores its benefits and concerns in education, with recommendations for classroom use. Nevertheless, limited evidence supports ChatGPT as a tool for supporting English as a…

This study examined the impact of collaborative pre-task strategic planning followed by rehearsal on the quantity and novelty of content used in task performances when strategic planning is performed in different language conditions in an online classroom. Forty Japanese university students of English as a foreign language (EFL) from two intact…

This paper provides fresh insights on how PIs (Polarity Items) in non-veridical contexts (questions and conditionals) are represented in the grammar of multilingual learners of Catalan at different stages of development. It explores how this non-native grammatical system interacts with other previously acquired systems of negation and the implicit…

Background/purpose: Artificial intelligence, namely ChatGPT, has garnered significant interest in language education due to its potential to enhance instruction and learning. Three primary topics are highlighted in this study's analysis of recent research on ChatGPT's use in language instruction: Reflection on instruction, instructor feedback, and…

"A Dictionary of Contemporary Figurative Language" is meant to be an appendix to an earlier, more comprehensive work: ED648945, "A Dictionary and Thesaurus of Contemporary Figurative Language and Metaphor 2024." This appendix simply updates the dictionary of that previous work to better reflect the language used during the 2024…

When studying grammar, students must not only focus on its structure but also on its form. Form-focused activities are integral to this process, requiring students to identify and manipulate language forms. A well-established technique for facilitating language acquisition is the consciousness-raising task (CR), which aims to heighten learners'…

This paper presents the integration of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and other AI tools in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, addressing the limitations of traditional pedagogical approaches. Conventional EFL methods, often reliant on rote learning for standardized tests, struggle to impart practical language skills relevant…
