Role-play tasks have long been used by researchers and practitioners to observe L2 (Second language) speaking performance. This social-situated simulation allows students to employ their language skills to converse about real-life themes. While role-plays are highly plausible to actively engage students in interactive learning environments, it has…

In most physical education courses, teachers generally observe and interact with students face-to-face, so as to assess their learning status and provide immediate and appropriate guidance. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, practical physical education courses moved completely online. Without physical contact, the safety, assessment, and…

This mixed-methods study delved into the perceptions, experiential narratives, and intricate interplay between students' technological backgrounds, prior experiences, and their perceptions concerning this innovative pedagogical approach. The study engaged a cohort of first- and second-year (n = 207), soliciting their insights through a combination…

Reading motivation is critical in learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Therefore, insufficient reading motivation leads to several problems concerning the learners' reading development. One of the strategies to maintain and boost learners' motivation is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools into language teaching practices. One…

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 research delves into the factors that shape Chinese college students' engagement with Generative AI (GenAI) for career exploration purposes, employing the lenses of the Comprehensive Model of Information Seeking (CMIS) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Utilizing a mixed-methods design, which integrates partial least squares…

As generative AI tools like ChatGPT become increasingly integrated into academic settings, understanding students' perspectives is critical--particularly in underrepresented regions such as Lebanon and Palestine. A mixed-methods approach using survey data and thematic analysis of in-depth interviews was employed to analyze students' perceived…

We present a case study of co-creating a policy for the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in a writing course at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Students and faculty in two sections of a required 1st-year writing course worked to draft and respond to a policy about AI and then reflected on the experience. Student reflections…

Given the importance of conversation practice in language learning, chatbots, especially ChatGPT, have attracted considerable attention for their ability to converse with learners using natural language. This review contributes to the literature by examining the currently unclear overall effect of using chatbots on language learning performance…

This study delves into the adoption of chatbot technology in higher education, with a focus on Indonesian online learning environments. Recognizing the potential of AI-driven tools to address academic support gaps, particularly in developing regions, the research explores how performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and facilitating conditions…

The aim of this study is to examine the intercultural sensitivity levels of teacher candidates using CART analysis and to develop a predictive model using machine learning algorithms. Additionally, this study provides a framework for understanding the relationship between internet usage and intercultural sensitivity. The participants comprised 416…

Higher education is in a period of massive transformation and uncertainty. Not only are current events impacting how institutions operate, but technological advancement--particularly in AI and virtual reality--are reshaping how students engage with content, how cognition is understood, and how learning itself is documented and valued. Our newly…

This study investigates the psychological and pedagogical factors influencing K-12 teachers' readiness to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into educational settings. An exploratory qualitative approach was employed, involving 66 teachers from 11 disciplines at a private school in Türkiye participating in a professional development program…

This study investigated English learner profiles and challenges among 884 Korean 5th-grade students, with a focus on the role of AI-assisted language learning in shaping proficiency outcomes. While AI-based interventions have gained popularity, their effectiveness across diverse learner populations remains insufficiently explored. The study aimed…

Artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT have emerged as a disruptive force in higher education. Stakeholders are debating the integration and relevance of AI in education to improve student learning outcomes. Further investigation is needed to determine not only the pedagogical impact but also address issues such as ethics, bias, and…
