Exploring University ELLs' AI Literacy
This study examines university ELLs' AI literacy by investigating their perceptions, attitudes, and engagement with AI technologies. This research employed a survey methodology with 109 undergraduate students from a Korean university. The findings show that ELLs demonstrate a strong interest in AI learning and recognize the need for AI education, though their actual knowledge remains moderate. ELLs reported high confidence in using AI tools such …
Cognitive Load and Working Memory in Multimedia Video Podcasts
Educational video podcasts are increasingly used in higher education, yet the cognitive mechanisms underlying their effectiveness remain underexplored. This experimental study examined how working memory capacity and additive contextual features influence situational interest, cognitive load, and learning from educational video podcasts. Sixty-two university students viewed video podcasts on lightning with standard narration with visuals (control…
Email Communication in English-Medium Instruction
This study examined how cultural background and self-reported gender influence student–faculty email communication in English-Medium Instruction (EMI) settings. Advanced international language learners (N = 113) wrote emails in English to either Korean or international professors without prior instruction. The emails were analyzed for framing elements and request strategies using holistic assessment. The findings revealed significant patterns in …
Revisiting contextual relevance
Early research on pedagogical agents centered on functionality within multimedia environments. A specific, yet under-researched area was the contextual relevance of the agent’s appearance, leaving its validity neither confirmed nor refuted. This study investigated contextual relevance using a humanoid agent, a fox character agent, and a no-agent condition. Results didn’t conclusively support contextual relevance as the character agent was rated s…
Integrating generative AI into EFL writing
This study examined how 59 English as a foreign language (EFL) students utilize generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in English writing and their perceptions of AI-assisted instruction. Using pre- and post-intervention surveys, the quantitative research measured writing strategies across three dimensions and AI experiences. Results showed significant improvements in idea generation (η2 = .08) and content refinement (η2 = .09) strategies,…
A multilingualism-as-resource approach in a graduate-level English-medium instruction (EMI) program at a Korean university
The trend of internationalisation of education has resulted in the wider implementation of English Medium Instruction (EMI) programmes in education, especially at the tertiary level. While some of these programmes adopted strict English-dominant policies, others embraced flexible bilingual or multilingual policies to ensure students' learning and wellbeing. This study explored international graduate students' learning and languaging experiences i…
Rethinking linguistic capitals and asset-based language learning
This exploratory study attempts to understand how bilingual instruction can be incorporated effectively in a non-English speaking higher education context by examining the effectiveness of bilingual Korean instruction for Chinese international students at a South Korean university. Using quantitative and qualitative data sources consisting of an end-of-semester survey (n = 42) and individual in-depth interviews (n = 6), descriptive statistical an…
Exploring gesture frequencies and images in multimedia environments with pedagogical agents
Exploratory research on understanding university students’ artificial intelligence literacy in a Korean university
This study explored university students’ perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and AI education. Specifically, the authors sought to understand the level of AI literacy among university students, the extent of their prior exposure to AI education, and the factors that affect their AI education. The study was conducted through an online survey distributed among 300 university students at a Korean university. The study findings indic…
University students’ perceptions of artificial intelligence-based tools for English writing courses
This research explores the perceptions of Korean university students regarding artificial intelligence (AI)-based writing tools that include tools guided by machine learning, such as Google Translate and Naver Papago, and generative AI tools, such as Grammarly. A mixed methodology was used, including both quantitative and qualitative data. Among students who have taken English writing courses, 80 Korean university students volunteered for the onl…
Reimagining raciolinguistic ideologies through an analysis of localized language-in-education policies in Turkey and Korea
As global migration and transnational mobility have increased steadily in the recent few decades, interests in equity-based theories and pedagogies have intensified to respond to racially and linguistically diverse student needs in today's classrooms. Raciolinguistic ideology is a theoretical framework challenging monoglossic language ideologies and the 'White gaze' that privileges White speaking and listening subjects (Flores, N., & Rosa, J. (20…

The introduction of ChatGPT for public use has generated increasing interest among educational researchers in evaluating the utility of artificial intelligence (AI) in pedagogical settings. This study aims to contribute to this growing body of research by developing an entire course curriculum and lesson plans exclusively using ChatGPT. Case study findings support many of the affordances and limitations observed in previous studies, such as ident…
Different effects of facial attractiveness on empathic responses in counselors and matched controls
The effects of virtual human gesture frequency and reduced video speed on satisfaction and learning outcomes
