This study investigates the adoption and impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners, focusing on self-efficacy, motivation, and predicted exam performance. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines survey data (N = 595) and interviews (N = 8) from Chinese university…

Epistemic agency is a significant factor in fostering teachers' innovation. Although previous research has highlighted the positive impact of epistemic agency on language teachers' knowledge creation, few studies have examined the role of this agency in navigating opportunities and challenges in an artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated context,…

This study investigates the beliefs and practices of secondary school mathematics teachers in Malta regarding the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), particularly through tools like ChatGPT, in teaching, using the TPACK framework. Through a case study methodology involving pre- and post-professional development (PD) session…

Objectives: This study examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance inclusion for individuals with intellectual disabilities in Thailand, addressing critical gaps in current policy frameworks and technological implementation strategies within the country's digital transformation agenda. Methods: A conceptual analysis approach was…

Chatbots with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, such as ChatGPT, are an important tool for language learning because they provide an interactive and adaptive learning environment that can be adjusted to each learner's level of skill. This paper explores the application of ChatGPT, an advanced AI-powered chatbot, as a tool for language…

Background/purpose: This study addresses challenges in graduate research supervision by developing and evaluating an AI chatbot research coaching system designed through Design Thinking and Educational Design Research. The research aimed to examine system usability, perceived value, and alignment between user experiences and original design…

This paper presents the design of a personalized learning agent powered by the Agentic RAG technique. The agent can interpret learners' queries and autonomously decide which tools should be used to generate the most suitable response. When the learner shares an Open Educational Resource (OER) they wish to learn from, the agent first breaks the…

This study investigated the translation competence (TC) development needs of foreign language majors at Guangxi University of Foreign Languages (GUFL) amid the AI-driven transformation of the translation industry. Employing a quantitative approach, the study administered a questionnaire to a sample of 359 students, with data analyzed via SPSS for…

Background: This mixed-method, controlled quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effects of metaverse-based English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction on high school students' listening skills and self-determination levels. The lessons, which were designed based on social constructivist theory, were implemented for a total of 8 weeks…

Background: The integration of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) into second language (L2) education has opened new possibilities for personalized and adaptive instruction. While Gen-AI has shown promise in supporting language production skills, its application in reading, particularly in pre-reading scaffolding, remains underexplored.…

This study explored if generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT can generate full lessons plans that are actually useful for real classrooms and meet the quality standards teachers and students deserve. The authors share how their teacher educator participants rated each type of lesson, what they preferred, and what the results…

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been increasingly recognised for their transformative potential in education. However, limited research has examined the emotional and behavioural impacts of AI-powered robots on students. To bridge this gap, the present study explored whether instruction supported by AI-powered robots enhances…

Within the changing perspective of artificial intelligence (AI) teaching, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students normally face an extensive range of educational challenges and difficulties, which can put their well-being at risk. Therefore, taking into account the elements that affect EFL students' well-being is crucial. Teachers' support…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that has been used quite effectively in the 21st century and has the potential to directly affect education as well as many other fields. AI is supported in many areas such as developing skills in education, increasing the effectiveness of education and student motivation, contributing to the…

Teachers' classroom communication behaviours play a significant role in students' academic performance and behaviours. However, insufficient research exists on the mediating impact of English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' clarity and credibility on their students' willingness to attend classes (WTAC) mediated by AI tools, to date. To fill…
