Investigating High School Students’ Attitudes Toward the Use of AI in Education
Recently, there has been a plethora of studies about students’ attitudes toward the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in education, particularly in higher education and language education; however, research on AI use in high school settings has gained relatively little attention, leaving a huge research gap in the literature. This study seeks to address this research gap by examining high school students’ attitudes toward using AI-…
Do Interactions with ChatGPT Influence L2 Learners' Oral Speaking Ability, Summarization Ability, and Perceptions of Generative AI Tasks
The current study investigated the impact of AI‐mediated interaction on L2 learners' oral speaking ability, summarizing ability, and perceptions. Participants were EFL university students from South Korea who were randomly assigned to one of three groups: aiSPEAK, aiSUM, and control. The two experimental groups, aiSPEAK and aiSUM, engaged in interactional exchanges with ChatGPT‐3.5 to complete oral summary tasks, while the control group completed…
We are Korean people and we must speak Korean well
This study investigated parental involvement in five Korean American families where there was evidence of successful heritage language (HL) maintenance in the second generation. The data in the current study were drawn from interviews of five Korean women who were first-generation immigrants to the U.S. and their daughters who were raised in the U.S. for most or all of their lives and were able to successfully acquire a high degree of competence …
The complexity epistemology and ontology in second language acquisition
Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST), an instantiation in applied linguistics of complexity epistemology that transcends disciplinary boundaries, has gained much traction and momentum over the last decade, finding expressions in a fast-growing number of empirical second language developmental studies. However, the literature, while rapidly expanding, has displayed much confusion, notably oscillating between invoking CDST as a metatheory and as a…
Role of individual differences in incidental L2 vocabulary acquisition through listening to stories
This study examined the moderating role of two individual difference factors, metacognitive awareness of listening and motivation, in young second language (L2) learners’ incidental vocabulary acquisition from listening to stories. Participants were 66 fifth-grade English as a Foreign Language learners in South Korea who were randomly assigned to one of two groups: listening to stories or control. A vocabulary meaning recognition test was adminis…
Materializing assessment
Various examinations are administered at universities across the US as a means of assessing bilingual/multilingual international teaching assistants’ (ITAs’) proficiency in spoken English before they are permitted to teach. While such exams are taken by students in a range of academic disciplines, recent research suggests that communicative success in academic disciplines such as STEM is more accurately understood through a materialist, as oppose…

Exploring which test-taker characteristics predict young L2 learners’ performance on listening and reading comprehension tests
Test-taker characteristics (TTCs), or individual difference variables, are known to be a systematic source of variance in language test performance. Although previous research has documented the impact of a range of TTCs on second language (L2) learners’ test performance, few of these studies have involved young learners. Given that young L2 learners undergo rapid maturational changes in their cognitive abilities, are susceptible to affective fac…
Using China English, creating translingual space
Inner Circle contexts, and especially Inner Circle academic contexts guided by ideologies of monolingualism, can frequently be spaces that are hostile to 'different,' non-Inner Circle varieties of English. Meanwhile, recent research in translingualism demonstrates how individuals can produce spaces that are conducive to linguistic plurality. This paper analyzes how speakers of a non-Inner Circle variety of English are able to use linguistic and s…
