The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) was employed to evaluate and rank language-learning applications based on criteria such as engagement, interactivity, feedback, content quality and usability. A pairwise comparison matrix was constructed, fuzzy logic was applied to convert qualitative judgements into numerical values, and these values…

Peer feedback via CMC modalities has become an alternative to conventional in-class peer feedback due to the rapid rise of educational technology and the widespread use of computer-mediated communication in L2 education. Despite the fact that much research has been published on the benefits of CMC tools for enhancing L2 proficiency, the number of…

Generative AI has stormed the education community worldwide. Gen-AI's potential to assist teachers in providing feedback to students is the focus of the current research. Specifically, the research investigated how similar or different AI-generated feedback was from teacher feedback, and whether there were differences in students' responses to the…

The strand of feedback research within the field of Instructed Second Language Acquisition (ISLA) examines the effects of feedback on the development of second language (L2) knowledge and learning behaviors. While findings often make claims about the relationship between feedback and language processing, much of this research has not measured…

This study provides insight into the role of learner-generated content (LGC) in affective response and engagement during interactive tasks on a video conferencing platform. It also examines task content, affect and conation with respect to recall of the language used on tasks. The performances of four learners on recommendation tasks are analyzed…

Computer-assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) tools have become increasingly dependent on Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology to provide automated corrective pronunciation feedback to learners. The extent to which ASR-based tools measurably improve second language (L2) pronunciation is of great interest to language educators globally,…

The emergence of digital game types has opened up significant opportunities to facilitate language acquisition through feedback provision, attracting diverse research strands to explore their potential as arenas for technology-assisted language learning. This study investigates the effects of learner-, peer-, and collaborative-regulated feedback…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of intervention studies addressing foreign language speaking anxiety through a meta-analytical approach. Research on foreign language speaking anxiety was conducted across various databases using targeted keyword phrases. Statistical data were collected and analyzed using Comprehensive…

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing writing education, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. This comprehensive review explores the transformative potential of AI-powered writing tools, with a specific focus on large language models like ChatGPT, in enhancing writing skills and learning…

The use of automated feedback (AF) has been increasing in English writing courses for emergency remote education (ERE) due to the escalating COVID-19 pandemic crisis in Vietnam. The ERE English writing courses for in-service bachelor programs demanded an effective, fast, free, and user-friendly AF tool that does not require a login ID, which can…

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Kahoot! educational game learning media on German language students' learning outcomes in the "Sprechfertigkeit" 2 course. The sample of this study consisted of 37 students. The test instruments were given during the pretest and posttest. The data were processed and analyzed by the SPSS…

While studies on teacher written feedback and automated writing evaluation (AWE) feedback have proliferated in recent decades, little attention has been paid to how AWE-teacher integrated feedback would influence students' engagement and their writing performance in second language (L2) writing. Against this backdrop, a quasi-experimental design…

Although the potential of group awareness (GA) tools on triggering student engagement has been recognized in literature, little is known about the effects of GA tools on student engagement with peer feedback in the context of online collaborative language learning. This quasi-experimental study with 86 college students explored how GA tools…

Writing achievement is crucial for English as a foreign language (EFL) learners due to its impact on language skills, overall proficiency, academic success, creativity, and critical thinking. However, the teacher feedback may be problematic due to timing, subjectivity, overemphasis, and alignment with learning goals. Automated feedback, on the…

Information and communication technologies have been transforming the way we teach and learn. Either for facilitating teaching practices or for making learning more interesting and joyful for the learners, artificial intelligence-based applications are utilized in recent years.
