This study provides empirical evidence of how self-monitoring tasks contribute to improving the Korean pronunciation of foreign learners of Korean in blended courses, which combine face-to-face classes with online assignments. The study focuses on lateralization and nasalization rules, which are obligatory assimilation rules that frequently occur…

Attaining a high level of proficiency in speaking a second language (L2) is a formidable challenge, particularly in many English as a foreign language (EFL) settings, such as Taiwan. In such environments, students often encounter limited opportunities for English-speaking practice within formal classroom settings due to the prevalence of…

This study used idiodynamic methodology to investigate the dynamics of second language (L2) learners' foreign language anxiety (FLA) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE), and the details of emotion regulation (ER) directed at managing these emotions, in pair- and group-work speaking tasks performed by 10 advanced English-as-a-foreign-language…

This study aims to investigate students' speaking anxiety in English classes in the second semester of Universitas Borneo Tarakan. Specifically, this study examines the factors that influence students' speaking anxiety and strategies to minimize it based on what the students have experienced. Thirty-eight students were selected as research…

While self-regulated learning (SRL) has become an important paradigm in the field of English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, how adolescent learners utilize SRL strategies in the field of reading remains underexplored. Also largely unknown is the relationship between SRL strategy use and readers' motivational beliefs. To bridge the gaps, the…

This paper aimed to explore the impact of self-regulated learning strategies on English language abilities and knowledge of 421 final-year undergraduate students at a public university in Thailand. The instruments used in the present study were: (1) the 65-item Questionnaire of English Self-Regulated Learning Strategies (QESRLS), and (2) the…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been consistently correlated with academic achievement across various educational contexts. Although its importance is widely acknowledged, there remains a notable gap in research on SRL and its predictive power concerning academic achievement within the Moroccan educational setting. This study investigates the…

This study aimed to explore the predictive value of self-regulation, critical thinking, and creative thinking on the writing performance of Iraqi EFL learners on TOEFL iBT, including both integrated and independent writing tasks. To this end, 300 advanced male and female Iraqi EFL learners took the Cornell Critical-Thinking Test-Level X, the…

This study first validates a survey on self-regulated vocabulary learning strategies. It then examines the effects on the acquisition of new second language (L2) words from a reading text of three word-focused exercise conditions: reading + marginal glosses, reading + gap-fill and reading + sentence writing. It also evaluates the extent to which…

While self-regulation (SR) in student and teacher interactions in online environments, foreign language enjoyment (FLE), and foreign language anxiety (FLA) are significant issues in the English as a foreign language (EFL) learning process, research on SR in student and teacher interactions in online environments seems scarce in the EFL research…

Acquiring and retaining vocabulary is a cornerstone of mastering a new language, and digital tools are playing an increasingly significant role in this process. This study investigated the role of Quizlet, a digital flashcard application, as a self-regulated learning (SRL) tool in enhancing vocabulary acquisition among upper-intermediate English…

The research study explored online language learners' self-directed language learning (SDLL) experiences, benefits, motivations, and challenges when employing educational tools like Duolingo in an out of classroom context. To gain insights into SDLL, in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 10 Duolingo users were conducted. Study results…

While engaging with feedback is of significance for learning, current studies have highlighted students' lack of engagement with feedback. This study aimed at identifying predictors of university students' feedback use in a blended learning environment based on the extension of the Planned Behaviour Theory. Data were collected via a questionnaire…

This study attempts to empirically examine the predictive power of learner anxiety and motivation and their causality in explaining proficiency in English as a foreign language (EFL) and other interrelated affective variables, including attitudes, self-confidence, and grit via a treatment-based causal model. To achieve this, the study carried out…

The aim of this study is to examine the development of self-regulated learning (SRL) of university students in an EFL course via Flipped classroom through a novel measurement roadmap. Microanalytic techniques were used throughout the process rather than students' perceptions at a given moment. SRL skills scores are reported as well as sample…
