Combining the fine-tuned GPT model and linguistic complexity indices in assessing second language (L2) Spanish writing
Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) is increasingly leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), but research on fine-tuned models for L2 Spanish and their relationship with linguistic complexity (LC) remains limited. This study evaluates three models for assessing a large corpus of L2 Spanish writing: (1) a fine-tuned Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT)-4.1 model, (2) a model using 87 LC indices, and (3) a hybrid model integrating both. Results …
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…
Exploring linguistic complexity metrics in second language (L2) Italian writing assessment
The motivation-efficacy nexus
Will, Skill, Not Tool
The generative AI (GenAI) has exhibited diverse functions in supporting academic writing, especially for university students who encounter both disciplinary content and academic English challenges in English medium instruction (EMI). However, existing studies have rarely addressed EMI students' behavioural intentions to use GenAI for academic writing beyond formal classroom settings. By adopting the Will, Skill, Tool (WST) model, this study explo…
Language Mindset and Discipline Mindset Both Matter
In English medium instruction (EMI), students face cognitive and emotional demands in second language (L2) communication, which may hamper their motivation and willingness to communicate (WTC). Adopting a mixed‐methods design, this study explores how growth mindsets affected student motivation (e.g., ideal L2 self and ideal disciplinary self) and WTC at a Chinese full EMI university. Growth mindset was conceptualized as language mindset and disci…
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…
