Virtual reality (VR) has been gaining prominence in education, with its interactive capabilities continually expanding. This quantitative study (N = 91) tested the educational effectiveness of high-immersion VR (HiVR) versus low-immersion VR (LiVR) and the impact of interactivity on vocabulary learning. The between-subjects portion of this study…

This study aimed to assess the impact of digital storytelling on learners' receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge. For this purpose, 48 participants with intermediate English proficiency were divided into two equal groups: control and experimental. After conducting the pretest, implementing the treatment for the experimental group, and…

Learners of Japanese as a second language (JSL) find it difficult to learn various sentence patterns. To assist JSL learners with their study of Japanese sentence patterns (JSPs), this paper constructs a human-machine collaborative framework that combines artificial intelligence (AI) techniques with the users' active participation for Japanese…

This study explores student-initiated translanguaging in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, particularly with AI translation tools, an area largely overlooked in favor of teacher-led approaches. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-method design, the research examined how 69 undergraduates at a Thai university, across various…

Digital game-based vocabulary learning (DGBVL) integrates key game elements such as Challenges, Rewards, Human-Computer Interactions (HCI), Multimedia, and Fantasy. Although the overall effectiveness of digital games in enhancing English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) vocabulary knowledge development is well-established, the specific roles of…

Copying words by writing and typing are two effective methods in traditional learning, but their merits for learning L2 words have seldom been compared. Because of technological advances and the growing popularity of utilising smart mobile products to acquire L2 vocabulary, this study investigated the effectiveness of writing and typing techniques…

Although robots' social behaviors are known for their capacity to facilitate learner-robot interaction for language learning, their application and effect have not been adequately explored. This study reviewed 59 empirical articles to examine the contexts and application of various social behaviors of robots for language learning, and conducted a…

Vocabulary learning is important to learners of a second language (L2). Nonetheless, organizing young children to practice L2 words in a classroom setting might cause many challenges to educators and practitioners. New technologies such as Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) may be utilized to solve the issue. In this study, we present a…

Background: The utilisation of video-dubbing tasks, wherein learners record their voices over video clips to practise pronunciation, fluency, grammatical accuracy, and vocabulary use, is relatively novel in the English language learning context. Exploring the effectiveness of video-dubbing tasks can lead to more innovative and effective speaking…

This research examined the possibility of using Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and Total Physical Response (TPR) as a new method of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. This study sought to explore the potential benefits of this integration of methodologies in order to facilitate…

Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots have shown great application potential and research value in the field of language learning, especially in second language acquisition (SLA). Objectives: This study aims to validate the value of GenAI chatbots for SLA and elucidate which moderating variables affect learning outcomes.…

This study looks at how utilizing digital versions of classic games specifically Snakes and Ladders can help young learners learn more vocabulary in English. The study focuses on how digital versions of classic games can improve primary school students' vocabulary learning and retention. A quasi-experimental approach was used, with a control group…

Underpinned by constructivist learning theory (Feuerstein's theory of mediated learning experience) and the cloud computing model, an experiment was conducted to examine the differences between the control and experimental groups regarding the linear combinations of tool mediation on students' reading comprehension and vocabulary learning skills.…

This study explored how teachers could provide support to enhance students' out-ofclass mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) engagement. We interviewed five Korean English teachers who used "Class Card," a focal technology of this study, for their students' self-directed vocabulary learning. Additionally, students of the interviewed…

Vocabulary acquisition is crucial for language learning, yet learners face substantial challenges in memorizing extensive vocabulary. Numerous studies suggest Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technologies could significantly improve vocabulary acquisition among K-12 learners. Therefore, instructors or teachers must be fully informed of the…
