Qualitative Research on Information and Communication Technology
In the past decade, qualitative research has increasingly gained the attention of many scholars in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) for the investigations of ICT‐based language education. This entry sheds light on the latest advancements in ICT and the trends in qualitative research on ICT in language education. The following new trends have emerged in the field: (a) increased attention to contextualization; (b) heighte…
Enhancing Hots through role-playing GenAI: A case study in classical literature education
Purpose: This educational innovation introduces a customized role-playing GenAI that simulates characters from texts, operating under the premise that explicit instruction in classical literature education with an emphasis on active, learner-centered learning can cultivate students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS).Design/methodology/approach: The data were collected through pre- and post-surveys as well as students’ reflective journals. Furth…
Past, present, and future of virtual reality-based biological science education (2010–2025): A Bertopic-driven analysis
Virtual reality (VR) is transforming biological science education through the creation of immersive simulated environments. This study employs the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers Topic (BERTopic) modeling technique to conduct a structural and evolutionary analysis of the literature on VR in biological science education from January 2010 to July 2025. By analyzing 164 peer-reviewed articles, we identified five core research…
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Mind Mapping on Second Language Learners’ Listening Comprehension: Perspectives From Macau
AI-enhanced mind mapping has emerged as a vital tool for foreign language educators and learners, which facilitates deep learning and creative thinking through hierarchical and categorical organization of ideas. Despite its motivational potential, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness, particularly in listening comprehension. To address this, our study aims to investigate the impact of AI-enhanced mind mapping on colle…
Taming Frankenstein’s monster: Ethical considerations relating to generative artificial intelligence in education
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in the past two years is exerting profound effects throughout society. However, while this new technology undoubtedly promises substantial benefits, its disruptive nature also means that it poses a variety of challenges. The field of education is no exception. This position paper intends to deepen our current understanding of GAI in education from the perspective of ethics. We begin by dis…
Structured or Semi‐Structured? The Use of Reflection Journals in Postgraduates' Generative Artificial Intelligence Literacy Development in an L2 Academic Writing Context
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) not only has the potential to aid L2 academic writing but also poses unique challenges concerning impacts and ethics. Reflection journals, which promote critical thinking and metacognitive awareness, have the capacity to guide GenAI‐assisted writing, yet remain underexplored. This study examines and compares the effects of structured reflection journals (SRJs) and semi‐structured reflection journals (SSR…
Multimodal Composition as a Catalyst for Technology Self‐Efficacy
In technological learning environments, technology self‐efficacy (TSE) is a key to enhancing learners’ learning perceptions and performances. The present paper examines the potential of multimodal composing, a pedagogical approach that allows learners to use different semiotic resources, in enhancing learners’ TSE. This study employed a mixed‐methods design to investigate the impact of multimodal composing on TSE among a group of English for Spec…
Engagement and Incidental L2 Vocabulary Acquisition in Digital Gaming: A Qualitative Perspective of an “In‐Denial Gaming Addict” From Hong Kong
An increasing amount of language learning is occurring outside the traditional classroom settings, with digital gaming emerging as a prominent arena. This study presents a case analysis of an individual, Choi, who is a gaming enthusiast or even an “in‐denial gaming addict” (in his own words) and demonstrates a paradoxical academic profile: academically underperforming yet possessing an advanced level of English proficiency. Through reflective ess…
Computer-aided mobility solutions: Machine learning innovations to secure smart urban transportation
From shy to fly: Facilitating EFL learners’ willingness to communicate with an AI chatbot and an intelligent tutoring system
Mobile Assisted Language Learning Across Educational Contexts
Almost two decades have gone by since the printing of Kukulska-Hulme and Traxler’s (2007) seminal book Mobile learning: A handbook for educators and trainers. Evidently, there has been less debate concerning whether mobile technologies should be welcomed in language education. Instead, attention has been shifted towards ensuring the accessibility, equality, quality, safety, and sustainability of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) (Kukulska-…
Challenges in a mobile English telecollaborative project: Towards a conceptual model
This paper, drawing upon a mobile telecollaborative project, resonates with the rapid development of technology in language learning. We employed the instant messaging app WeChat to create an English telecollaborative environment for two groups of Chinese students to communicate within. Interview data were triangulated with students’ chat transcripts and comments from a teacher’s reflective journal. A mixed-methods approach, including quantitativ…
Tea or tears: Online teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic
This report describes two teachers' challenges and coping strategies while teaching online following the suspension of face-to-face classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings shed light on proactive and passive agency. This study also provides an understanding of teachers' 'tea or tears' in online teaching
