Willingness to communicate (WTC) in English in a classroom setting is considered a crucial factor for successfully learning English as a foreign language (EFL). This study investigated whether the intervention of technology-mediated oral tasks on the Flipgrid application designed as entrance and exit tickets could promote Thai EFL learners' WTC in…

The current study investigated disfluency and self-repair in L2 presentational and interpersonal speech to determine whether speech modes may affect L2 self-repair. Knowledge of self-initiated repair behavior in L2 speech is particularly relevant for understanding psycholinguistic processes of L2 speech production. Different speech modes, such as…

When we listen to human discourse, we do this in a context which may include the words themselves, tone of voice, stress on words, as well as gestures, visual context, facial expressions and interpersonal distance, which work to produce a multimodal message. The development of listening skills then implies focussing not only on audio input but…

This chapter focuses on the future of mentoring by focusing on digital mentoring of language and TESOL teachers in higher education with a lens on nurturing the faculty-student dynamic in primarily online/digital/blended teaching contexts. We also focus on a review of recent extant literature from the last ten years (2012-2022) on the topic in…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of those technologies with a wide range of applications, from planes to cars, from factories to homes. As IoT technology is an interdisciplinary field, it is generally one of the most difficult subjects to learn. Therefore, there is a need to use and develop new teaching methods to facilitate the teaching of IoT…

Purpose: Achieving self-directed health care with good health outcomes begins with clients having adequate health literacy (HL) skills. Higher education programs, like communication sciences and disorders (CSD), have a role in cultivating HL. This study examines the speech-language pathology leaders' (administrators and faculty) sense-making of HL…

Purpose: Students with multiple disabilities who are beginning communicators require augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to communicate during school and participate in its academic and social aspects. Triadic gaze is a method for accessing low-tech AAC that minimizes physical demands on access for students with limited mobility, such…

This study is centered on investigating students' preferences and measuring the level of their virtual remote learning experience satisfaction in a university-level language course within the framework of Social Constructivism. Using mixed methods, data collection was made primarily through a survey and focus group discussions of college students'…

This article foregrounds the role of the learner's experienced and expressive body in the process of action-oriented intercultural second language acquisition (SLA), drawing on phenomenological and related research on embodiment. It suggests that processes of perception, cognition, intentionality, and action are fundamentally shaped by the…

Background: Issues of risk and safety can be challenging to discuss with forensic patients with an intellectual disability. Talking Mats is a visual communication tool that facilitates therapeutic conversations. Method: A pilot study, adopting an ethnographic approach, was used to evaluate Talking Mats. Interviews and video observations were…

This article describes how three higher education literacy faculty shifted their traditional face-to-face instruction to a combined synchronous and asynchronous delivery in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and subsequent closure of the university. Faculty share specific lessons that were learned over the first year of the pandemic, and how these…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have emerged as a viable platform to engage large numbers of students in real-world scientific practices. Historically, CUREs have been offered throughout science, technology, engineering, and mathematics curricula at both the introductory and advanced levels and have been facilitated by a…

This learning activity outlines the transitioning of a Hotel and Lodging Management undergraduate course from face-to-face to asynchronous format. It describes how topics were converted into sequential learning modules that included short pre-recorded lectures (from the instructor and guest lecturers), discussion questions, activity tasks, quiz…

Video materials require learners to manage concurrent verbal and pictorial processing. To facilitate second language (L2) learners' video comprehension, the amount of presented information should thus be compatible with human beings' finite cognitive capacity. In light of this, the current study explored whether a reduction in multimodal…

In simultaneous prompting procedures, an immediate (i.e., 0-s) prompt is presented during all training trials, and transfer to the target discriminative condition is assessed during daily probes. Previous research suggests that simultaneous prompting procedures are efficacious and may produce acquisition in fewer errors to mastery when compared to…
