Artificial intelligence (AI) has been introduced into tools and technologies, such as chatbots, for language teaching, allowing educators to better meet the needs of individual students. Chatbots may act as virtual tutors in online learning environments, giving students the ability to access leaning support as needed. Chatbots can improve…

Recent developments in technology have contributed to the reshaping of the practice of foreign language education. Among those, even though generative artificial intelligence (GENAI) is not a recently emerged technology, it has started to become prominent in the field of foreign language teaching. Therefore, it is possible to observe GENAI tools…

Students' behavior and academic achievement are improved when technology is integrated into instruction in ways that support learning. Technology integration competency (TIC) has become a critical capacity for second language (L2) pre-service teachers in the digital era. However, the significance of such competency has been neglected in the field…

As artificial intelligence (AI) gains prominence, its integration into second language (L2)/foreign language (FL) instruction has become a significant trend. Despite the considerable promise of AI for L2/FL learning, more research is still needed on its effects on student academic engagement in literature classes and the corresponding emotional…

Amid the growing interest in generative AI technologies like ChatGPT for educational purposes, this research seeks to better understand Chinese EFL learners' acceptance and usage of them for L2 writing purposes. This study conducts an investigation by establishing a structural equation model that incorporates the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)…

The bulk of recent research on generative AI (GenAI) in education mainly focused on its potential pedagogical uses as well as how students actually exploit such tools during learning, while little has been done to systematically investigate how teachers integrate those tools in different parts of their teaching process. To bridge this gap, the…
