Past research on teacher shortages due to turnover has not adequately distinguished between teachers leaving the profession (attrition) and moving between schools (migration), hindering the identification of tailored retention strategies for schools and/or the profession. This study, part of a comprehensive project including a systematic review,…

Language learning practices have transformed significantly due to the advent of digital technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) tools and gamified mobile applications. This study explored the effects of gamified mobile language learning (GMLL) and AI-assisted language learning (AIALL) on academic integrity, creative trait motivation and…

This study investigates the self-initiated use of real-time speech-to-text translation (STTT) tools among Thai university students in English language classrooms, and how they perceive these tools to support their comprehension, motivation, engagement, and participation. Adopting a mixed-methods research design, data were collected from 224…

Previous studies have found that pride is a frequent and important emotion in achievement contexts although it is under-researched in the second/foreign language (FL) context. Therefore, the aim of this research was to explore pride in the context of FL learning. For this purpose, we proposed a conceptual model of FL pride, drawing on previous…

This research study examines the impact of the online tool "Classbank" on student engagement in reassessment in middle school. Research questions for this study are (1) To what extent does Classbank affect students' willingness to improve their performance through reassessment? and (2) How do students perceive the role of Classbank in…

This study developed and validated an instructional model that integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI), gamification, collaboration, and engagement in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. Using a three-phase consensus-based approach, Phase 1 synthesized theoretical foundations from Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Second Language…

In second language (L2) research, aptitude is typically viewed as a multicomponential, cognitive construct. Yet we know that L2 learning is influenced by multiple learner individual differences (IDs) besides cognitive abilities and that these IDs interact. In this article, we consider the affordances and implications of working toward a broader…

In the post-pandemic era, lecturers in Higher Education (HE) are confronted with the challenge of motivational and attention deficits in their students. Hence, incentives to foster student engagement and motivation are subject to recent research. One such approach is game-based learning, involving specifically conceptualized games for HE, commonly…

Purpose: College health courses provide one point of intervention for health behavior promotion. Little research has examined both motivational and behavioral aspects of change across multiple health behaviors. The present study examined changes in health behaviors, motivation and intentions across outcomes of diet, exercise, smoking and stress…

Despite the increasing use of digital tools in education, limited research has explored their combined impact on both cognitive and affective learning outcomes in mathematics. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the effect of integrating GeoGebra technology through Augmented Reality (AR) and microgames on students' motivation,…

This study explores the use of analytical artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance lesson planning in teacher education, particularly in vocational business education. Providing detailed, individualized feedback for lesson planning is challenging for university instructors. An analytical AI platform that offers expert-level feedback on lesson plans…

Textbook costs remain a significant barrier to student success in higher education. Open Educational Resources (OER) offer a promising solution by reducing costs and allowing content adaptation. This study examines the perceptions and use of OER by 70 faculty members at a small liberal arts college (Franklin College) through a campus-wide survey…

University policy setting and implementation has the potential to significantly affect the quality and delivery of teaching and learning by effecting academic wellbeing and performance, particularly during times of significant change. Existing research predominately focuses on student wellbeing, largely overlooking academic wellbeing. This article…

Most people view language learning as a feminine domain and take it for granted that females have better performance in foreign language learning. Despite researchers' efforts in uncovering the phenomenon of gender stereotypes in language learning, it remains unclear: (1) whether there were differences in language learning stereotypes and their…

This study explores the perspectives of Vietnamese students on nonverbal cues from their English teachers and how these cues influence their first impressions and motivation in EFL classrooms.
