Integrating Robotics in Art Education
As educational paradigms continue to evolve in response to technological advancements, there is growing interest in interdisciplinary approaches that bridge the gap between STEM and the arts. One such emerging area is the integration of robotics into art education, which holds the potential to enrich learning experiences and foster a range of cognitive and social skills. This study investigates the integration of robotics into art education throu…
What Deserve Studying the Most? A Q‐Methodology Approach to Explore Stakeholders' Perspectives on Research Priorities in GenAI ‐Supported Second Language Education
Recently, there has been a significant increase in research on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in the domain of second language (L2) education. Given the limited resources, it is essential for GenAI research to focus on key areas. However, there is still uncertainty about which topics should be prioritised. Research priorities are often shaped by individual researchers' personal interests, which can skew the focus of many studies. Addi…
Translanguaging as an emotional assessment practice
The role of translanguaging (TL) pedagogies has recently received a surge of scholarly attention across educational contexts. However, its mechanism and realization in relation to second/foreign language (L2) assessment has been ignored. To bridge this gap, this qualitative study examined the perceptions of 42 Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) students regarding TL integration in assessment and its emotional outcomes. The data were coll…

“To Use or Not to Use?” A Mixed-Methods Study on the Determinants of EFL College Learners’ Behavioral Intention to Use AI in the Distributed Learning Context
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities for English as a foreign language (EFL) learners to enhance their learning outcomes, provided that they have access to AI applications. However, little is written about the factors that influence their intention to use AI in distributed EFL learning contexts. This mixed-methods study, based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), examined the determinants of behavioral intention to use AI am…
Modelling the interplay between resilience, emotion regulation and psychological well‐being among Chinese English language teachers
With the rise of positive psychology (PP) in 1954 and its flowering in the last decade of the 20th century, the focus of psychological and educational studies has shifted from examining negative health‐related outcomes to their positive counterparts. In line with this new research agenda, several L2 researchers have studied different positive health‐related outcomes and their predictors among language teachers. Few language studies, however, have…
Validating the AI-assisted second language (L2) learning attitude scale for Chinese college students and its correlation with L2 proficiency
The positive impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on second language (L2) learning is well-documented. An individual's attitude toward AI significantly influences its adoption. Despite this, no specific scale has been designed to measure this attitude, particularly in the Chinese context. To address this gap, our study aims to construct the AI-Assisted L2 Learning Attitude Scale for Chinese College Students (AL2AS-CCS) and evaluate its reliabil…
On the relationship between EFL students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence, teachers' immediacy and teacher-student rapport, and their willingness to communicate
The Chinese adaptation and validation of the Fear of Being Single Scale for college students
The Fear of Being Single Scale (FOBS) is a widely used measure of the fear of being single, but its applicability to Chinese populations has not been established. This study aimed to translate the FOBS into Chinese and examine its psychometric properties among Chinese college students. The study consisted of three phases with three samples (total n = 1768). In the first phase (Sample 1: n = 571), an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) supported a u…
