Investigating pre-service teachers’ AI literacy for ELL instruction
Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken the educational field by storm, offering unique affordances for addressing diverse learners’ needs, including those of English language learners (ELLs). Harnessing the pedagogical value of AI, however, largely depends on teachers’ preparedness to integrate the new technology effectively into teaching. Pedagogical integration of AI is especially important for pre-service teachers (PSTs), who often struggle to…
Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Extended Reality in Language Education
This systematic literature review examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Extended Reality (XR) technologies in language education, synthesizing findings from 32 empirical studies published between 2017 and 2024. Guided by the PRISMA framework, we searched four databases—ERIC, Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore—to identify studies that explicitly integrated both AI and XR to support language learning. The review explores…
Peer Feedback, English Public Speaking Self-Efficacy, and Performance in Facebook and Brightspace
Social media applications (SMAs) stand at the forefront of emerging technologies in language education due to their transformative potential to enhance English speaking skills. Unlike traditional tools, SMAs leverage features like real-time communication, multimedia integration, and global connectivity, fostering authentic, meaningful interactions in socially engaging environments. Although learning management systems (LMSs) such as Brightspace h…
Impact of augmented reality-enhanced biological taxonomy instruction on students’ knowledge gains and science motivation
Several studies have emphasized the importance of adopting innovative approaches to science education to foster students’ interest and engagement with science. Emerging technologies, such as augmented reality (AR), have shown great promise for enhancing science learning experiences and continue to be explored for their benefits. In this paper, we examine the impact of AR-enhanced versus 2D-image instruction on students’ knowledge gains and motiva…
The Evolution of Virtual Reality in Foreign Language Education
Virtual Reality (VR) has been utilized in foreign language education for over 50 years, and it has gone through four distinct stages in foreign language education: Two-dimensional (2D) text-based VR, three-dimensional (3D) desktop-based VR, 3D HMD-based VR, and AI-enhanced 3D HMD-based VR. Drawing on relevant studies and examples, this article reviews the major breakthroughs in VR technology, presents some widely used VR applications and their af…
Development and validation of the PA-SDA Scale
A Framework for Examining the Relationship and Classifying Instructional Strategies, Methods, and Techniques
Globally, educators and researchers use different terms to describe instructors’ approaches when presenting instructional material in formal and informal settings. Terms commonly used to describe instructional approaches include teaching/instructional strategy, teaching/instructional method, and teaching/instructional technique. Although practicing educators and researchers use these words interchangeably, they have different meanings, leading to…
Applying Systems Thinking for Designing Immersive Virtual Reality Learning Experiences in Education
Authentic Learning Experiences to Improve Online Instructor’s Performance and Self-Efficacy
Using personalized learning as an instructional approach to motivate learners in online higher education
In this qualitative comparison study, we examine the perceived efficacy of using personalized learning (PL) activities based on PL principles to support students’ psychological need satisfaction and intrinsic motivation in an online course using a traditional one-size-fits-all model. We apply self-determination theory as a framework to investigate students’ perceptions of their psychological need satisfaction (e.g., competence, autonomy, and rela…
