The Trainee Dilemma
A critical phase in professional identity formation is the ‘trainee dilemma’. This dilemma marks the transition from formally qualified to a capable professional. During this period, individuals are qualified but not yet capable. Using concepts from Cultural-Historical Theory, we consider how the development of professional competence extends beyond formal education to include development of a new professional identity shaped by workplace experie…
How do they stack up? Perceived communicative competence, foreign language anxiety, teacher support, and classroom environment in EFL learners’ willingness to communicate in Moocs
Given the shift to technology-mediated communication, this study investigated the factors that influence Chinese EFL learners’ willingness to communicate (WTC) in the second language (L2) in MOOCs. While most previous studies conceptualized L2WTC as a unified construct, this study made a first attempt to distinguish its oral and written dimensions, thereby addressing an underexplored gap and capturing the complexities of both modes in online lear…
Collaborative Making of a Boundary Object for Classifying Generative AI Learning Activities
Educational research has seen a surge in publications investigating the use of Generative AI (GenAI) for learning. The aim of this article is to initiate a discussion of how to systematise GenAI learning activities in a way that reflects the postdigital entanglement of humans and technology in contemporary learning, identifying key constituent aspects and how they mesh. We explore potential core categories of such a systematisation, and one way t…
Imagining personalisation
This paper examines how educational technology (EdTech) companies construct and promote the concept of personalisation, arguing personalisation functions less as a pedagogical innovation and more as neuroliberal governance. Drawing on a sociotechnical imaginaries approach, the paper analyses promotional materials from EDUtech Australia 2024 to explore how personalisation is framed, legitimised, and operationalised in commercial discourse. While p…
Fostering language student teachers’ transformative agency for embracing GenAI
This study aimed to explore the impact of a formative intervention on Australian student teachers’ agency when engaging with GenAI. Student teachers undertook structured group tasks using GenAI to prepare teaching materials, including output evaluation, prompt revision, and reflective discussion. Analysis of their GenAI interactions and discussions demonstrates the development of transformative agency as they evaluated GenAI outputs and formed pe…
Chinese university students’ self-regulated strategic learning in English medium instruction from a sociocultural perspective
Recently, there has been growing interest in research on learning strategies employed by students to regulate their learning in English medium instruction (EMI) settings. This study examines the self-regulated strategic learning by Chinese university students in an EMI programme over an extended period of time. Data were collected from 262 students through a questionnaire on learning strategies to gauge the way they learn as well as the role of t…
Using productive failure to learn genetics in a game-based environment
A sociocultural framework for exploring pre-service teacher dispositions
Teacher dispositions are important to teacher education. Although research recognizes the importance of context and experience in shaping pre-service teachers’ dispositions, the relationship between them and dispositions needs to be conceptualized and elucidated. This paper draws on Vygotsky’s concept of perezhivanie to develop an integrative framework for analysing the development of teachers’ dispositions within social situations. It illustrate…
Preservice teachers’ epistemic agency during practicums
Preservice teachers' (PSTs) epistemic agency during their practicum experiences is not yet fully understood. In this study, we collected data in the form of in-depth interviews, reflective journals, and lesson plans from two Chinese language PSTs, and examined their epistemic agency during their practicums in Macau from a cultural-historical activity theory perspective. First, this study offers an analytical model that revealed the dynamics of ep…
The current research trend of artificial intelligence in language learning
Although the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly developed, there has been little research to review, describe, and analyse the trends and development of empirical research on AI-supported language learning. This paper selected and analysed 25 empirical research papers on AI-supported language learning published in the last 15 years. These empirical studies were analysed using the activity theory from seven constituents: tool, subje…
The Use of Communication Strategies by Second Language Learners of Chinese in a Virtual Reality Learning Environment
Virtual reality (VR) for Language learning has been shown effective in improving students’ communication skills. However very few studies reveal the communication strategies students used in communicating in a VR environment, especially in learning Chinese as a foreign or second language (CFL/CSL). In this pilot study, a prototype Virtual Experiential Language Learning Environment (VELLE) was used to provide immersive learning experiences in deve…
Efficacy and safety of AnluoHuaxian pills on chronic hepatitis B with normal or minimally elevated alanine transaminase and early liver fibrosis
Treatment of CHB patients who had ALT<2ULN and F ≤ 2 with the traditional Chinese medicine AHP for 48 weeks improves liver fibrosis. However, due to the short duration of treatment and the limited sample size of liver pathology, the long-term benefits of AHP in reducing fibrosis and the risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in these patients need to be further studied in the future
Community languages school teachers’ pedagogical habitus in transition
This research investigated Australian community languages school (CLS) teachers’ emerging pedagogical habitus, focussing specifically on key dynamics effecting the adaptation in their pedagogical understanding and practice. Following an interview-based case study design, the research analyzed in detail major factors and their interplay that had impacted the development of an expanding pedagogical habitus of three overseas-trained CLS teachers. Fi…
