This research employed microlearning and flipped teaching approach, both together and separately, to examine EFL learners’ grammar achievement and motivation. The design of this study was quasi-experimental by employing three intact classrooms as experimental groups (i.e. microlearning, flipped learning, and microflipped learning) and one intact classroom as a control group (N = 25 for each group). The data was collected through pre-test and post-test that were administered to experimental and control groups, as well as motivated strategies for learning questionnaire (MSLQ) that was filled by the participants from experimental groups. The results showed that microlearning, flipped learning, and flipped learning approaches could help EFL learners to achieve significantly higher grammar skill. Besides, it was depicted that EFL learners revealed higher motivation in experimental groups for learning when compared with the control group. At the end of this study, the researchers provided recommendations on how to use flipped learning and microlearning methods, both together and separately. Findings suggest that the use of microlearning, flipped, and microflipped teaching/learning can be considered as an alternative model of teaching, as opposed to the traditional method, to motivate EFL students to better learning.

For language learners situated in contexts where there is limited exposure to the target language, an authentic learning environment is important. Virtual Reality (VR) has been increasingly used in education to simulate realistic scenarios; however, little is known about whether VR can enhance the nature of authentic learning for learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). Motivated by that reason, this study was conducted to examine the affordances of VR when integrated with language tasks to facilitate authentic learning for EFL learners. Herrington et al.’s (2010) model of authentic tasks was adopted to evaluate the VR-integrated tasks. Twenty-four students participated in the VR technology intervention and were followed up with individual interviews. The results showed VR has the potential to enhance many of the ten attributes of Herrington et al.’s (2010) authentic tasks. Suggestions are provided to further extend the model to be more applicable in EFL contexts, alongside implications for practice and future research.

COVID-19 has created a dramatic and rapid transition to emergency remote teaching in higher education (HE) creating both new opportunities and challenges for lecturers and their students. As HE adapts to these new circumstances, there is a need for instructors to design and teach classes that support collaborative learning and increase opportunities for student interactivity. This article reports on an ongoing study exploring university students’ experiences and perceptions of using breakout rooms (BRs), a technical feature of many synchronous online platforms, as part of their online classes. Using a mixed methods research approach, 127 students, who were registered on English language courses at a university in Cyprus during Spring 2021, participated in the study. Findings indicate that students’ experiences and perceptions of breakout rooms during this period were impacted in five key areas: (1) emotional/affective, (2) moral/ethical, (3) social, (4) pedagogical and (5) technological. These findings suggest that students’ personal feelings, attitudes to online learning, sense of connectedness to their peers, expectations of the role and presence of the lecturer and issues relating to the technology, are all considered to be significant factors in their use of BRs. This study offers initial insights for educators who wish to use, modify and/or adapt synchronous online teaching to incorporate collaborative learning opportunities through breakout rooms.
