Chen, Hao-Jan Howard; Hsu, Hsiao-Ling; Chen, Zhi-Hong – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Vocabulary learning is vital for second language development, and the use of technology has greatly changed how second language vocabulary can be acquired. Some adventure video games were found to be beneficial for vocabulary learning. These games offer engaging plots, rich input, and immersive learning context. Despite these advantages, many…

Dooly, Melinda; Thrasher, Tricia; Sadler, Randall – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2023
Recently, immersive virtual reality (VR) environments for language learning have garnered interest from researchers and practitioners alike, based on their realistic imitations of environments where target languages might be used for "authentic-like" interactions (with other learners, bots and avatars). However, the majority of research…

Dimitrova, Vyara V.; McKenney, Susan; Kirschner, Paul A. – Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
Purpose: Second and foreign language (SL/FL) teachers' informal problem-solving has received little explicit research attention while it is widely acknowledged that problem-solving is crucial to expertise development in any complex knowledge domain. To develop a clearer understanding of the role of informal problem-solving in SL/FL teachers'…

Chan, Hang – TESOL Journal, 2023
The task-based language teaching (TBLT) approach has long drawn data from general learners and developed theories on the basis of those data. In this article, the author explores how to adapt TBLT materials for learners with special educational needs (LwSENs) who have difficulty learning, thinking, and communicating. TBLT conceptualizes…

Wang, Jing; Bai, Barry; Nie, Youyan – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2023
This study examined the role of perceived classroom goal structures and parent's goals in predicting students' achievement goals, engagement and achievement. Mastery goals were predicted by both classroom and parents' mastery goals. Both performance-approach goals and performance-avoidance goals were predicted by both classroom and parents'…

Tong, Christine Kong-Yan; Ho, Jana Chi San; Yang, Xiujie; McBride, Catherine; Ng, Melody Chi Ying; Pan, Dora Jue – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
The role of parental literacy skills in cross-linguistic transfer, the phenomenon of the sharing of skills and competence from one language to another, is under-researched. The present study tested 147 Hong Kong Chinese children and their parents (76 boys; mean age = 7.16). Parental literacy skills significantly explained children's reading and…

Fedzechkina, Masha; Hall Hartley, Lucy; Roberts, Gareth – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
Language is subject to a variety of pressures. Recent work has documented that many aspects of language structure have properties that appear to be shaped by biases for the efficient communication of semantic meaning. Other work has investigated the role of social pressures, whereby linguistic variants can acquire positive or negative evaluation…

Rezai, Afsheen; Ashkani, Parisa; Ismail, Sayed M. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
Although a range of studies has explored the effectiveness of group-dynamic assessment (G-DA) and process-based instruction (PBI) in second language (L2) learning, no study has compared the effects of G-DA and PBI on EFL learners' metacognitive awareness (MA) and listening comprehension (LC). Thus, this study aimed to explore the effects of G-DA…

Lee, On-Soon – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
This study investigates whether statistical learning ability, conceptualized as a cognitive ability to learn regularities implicitly, is a good predictor for L2 learners' online language processing performance. Native-English-speaking adults, as a control group, and native-Korean-speaking adult L2 learners of English participated. They completed:…

Wedlock, Joshua; Binnie, Christopher – English Australia Journal, 2023
Although using video to facilitate language learning is an exceedingly common practice, both for in-class and out-of-class learning, at present the literature exploring the use of authentic videos for intentional language learning is void of a user-friendly framework that educators and learners can refer to when selecting and using authentic…

Moore, Ashley R. – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2023
Despite a growing body of knowledge regarding the relevance of queer people and their lives to language education, we still know little about the power of classrooms, institutions, and larger macro structural forces to shape--and be shaped by--the identity experiences of queer L2 learners. This article presents a comparative analysis of the…

Helvich, Jakub; Novak, Lukas; Mikoska, Petr; Hubalovsky, Stepan – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
The aim of this study is to examine the satisfaction of EFL teachers with gamification platforms as well as to investigate how EFL teachers perceive gamification and its effects on pupils' motivation and learning outcomes. Five major databases (ERIC, Scopus, WoS, EBSCO, ProQuest) and Google Scholar were used to search for relevant studies. The…
