Research on teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) has been burgeoning recently. Yet, little is known about how teachers integrate AI tools such as ChatGPT in language teaching. This preliminary qualitative study investigates the exploration and incorporation of ChatGPT in language teaching by graduate student instructors (GSIs). By analyzing data from questionnaires, focus group interviews, screenshots of interactions with ChatGPT, and participants' lesson plans, this study shows how instructors develop their knowledge about ChatGPT and mobilize content and pedagogy knowledge to enact technology integration. Findings reveal that GSIs adopted various strategies when exploring the affordances of ChatGPT. Furthermore, while GSIs form positive perceptions of ChatGPT affordances, negative perceptions pertain to its limited capacity to process the Chinese language. Lastly, GSIs drew on various aspects of TPACK to design lessons, among which content knowledge and its interplay with technology seem to be prominent.

As globalization continues to grow, there is an increasing need for skilled interpreters. However, the interpreting skills of many students are still deficient: firstly, they are incapable of understanding the source language clearly; secondly, they are incapable of expressing standard English accurately. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how mobile-assisted collaborative language learning (MACLL) can help English as a foreign language (EFL) students improve their interpreting competence and motivation. The study used a quantitative methodology and involved a sample of 60 students from one university. Their performance was monitored over a semester. To facilitate MACLL, mobile technologies such as Chaoxing App, iFlytek Input, and Praat were used as teaching tools. The results showed that MACLL had a positive effect on the improvement of students' interpreting competence, as evidenced by their improvement in academic performance and acquisition of language knowledge. The research also showed that students' learning motivation was enhanced in the MACLL environment.

Cultural differences and geopolitical disputes severely impede the globalization process. As a method of eliminating cross-cultural misunderstandings and fostering mutual respect, it is crucial to increase cross-cultural awareness through cross-cultural education to support the world's peaceful and healthy development. This article investigates, from the perspective of cognitive semiotics, how the integration of digitization and language learning through reading can provide foreign language learners with a more immersive and stimulating learning experience. Questionnaires and interviews demonstrate that digital reading has exerted more significant learning effects on cross-cultural education than traditional paper reading. Digital reading reflects cognitive communication, cognitive subjectivity, and cognitive diversity more accurately. The integration of digital reading and cross-cultural education makes language learning more accessible and effective and can encourage students to grasp the target language while simultaneously promoting Chinese culture.

This paper explores the literature on AWE feedback, particularly its perceived impact on enhancing EFL student writing proficiency. Prior research highlighted the contribution of AWE in fostering learner autonomy and alleviating teacher workloads, with a substantial focus on student engagement with AWE feedback. This review strives to illuminate these facets and offer critical insights on AWE effectiveness, feedback quality, reliability, and usefulness. Guided by the research questions, 16 studies were selected, adopting specific inclusion criteria to assess the effectiveness of AWE in enhancing EFL learner writing performance. Recommendations and implications from the reviewed articles regarding AWE implementation were synthesized and discussed. The review concludes that AWE can improve EFL student writing skills, with varying effectiveness based on student proficiency levels. AWE provides quality feedback and can be a reliable and valuable tool. However, despite its effectiveness, human intervention is essential to maximize its outcomes and mitigate limitations.

Despite its controversial nature, machine translation (MT) has been increasingly integrated into learning in the past decade. This controversy arises from two different beliefs. While some believe that MT negatively impacts students' language proficiency, others argue that it allows students to stay abreast of technological advancements. Despite the numerous risks associated with the unstoppable development and irresistible use of MT, it is imperative to explore appropriate integration methods instead of outrightly banning its use in learning the translation practice. Consequently, this article examines existing research on methods of using MT in classroom learning and highlights its strengths and limitations. The article explores pedagogical solutions to harness the capabilities of MT and proposes a novel approach for the practical and efficient utilization of GNMT in translation-learning classroom. The findings propose a novel strategy for optimizing the efficacy of GNMT tools in the context of classroom learning. Also, they emphasize the importance of integrating MT tools in classroom and to the curriculum design as a fast-developed technology tool.

Automated writing evaluation (AWE) software is an increasingly popular tool for English second language learners. However, research on the accuracy of such software has been both scarce and largely limited in its scope. As such, this article broadens the field of research on AWE accuracy by using a mixed design to holistically evaluate the accuracy of the corrective feedback of the leading AWE program Grammarly. 1136 Grammarly-identified errors related to style, lexis, and form were graded and discussed by two native English speakers. An overall accuracy rate of 78.86% and an accuracy rate of 91.60% when excluding style-related errors were found. However, several issues relating to the promotion of a set writing style, variance in feedback quality, and accuracy of style-related corrective feedback were also identified.

The flipped classroom approach is becoming increasingly popular in higher education as a substitute for more conventional teaching methods. This study examines pre-service teachers' task engagement in flipped Chinese language and culture learning by employing three engagement facilitators as a theoretical framework. In this study, 50 American undergraduate pre-service teachers who were enrolled in an ESL methods course learned Chinese language and culture online outside of class and then engaged in practice and collaborative learning under the guidance of an instructor. Surveys, follow-up interviews, focus groups, and student documents were analyzed to explore how pre-service teachers perceived their task engagement in their learning tasks and the reasons for their perceptions. The main findings reveal that students are positively engaged in flipped learning when tasks match their abilities, offer opportunities to set their learning goals, provide instant feedback, and have clear learning goals, instructions, and directions. The results also indicate that a fixed course format, clearly defined learning tasks with step-by-step instructions, and effective assessment were essential in engaging students in learning. Conclusion and implications are generated for flipped instructional design and practice for foreign languages. Finally, limitations and future studies are discussed.

The aim of this study is to examine the satisfaction of EFL teachers with gamification platforms as well as to investigate how EFL teachers perceive gamification and its effects on pupils' motivation and learning outcomes. Five major databases (ERIC, Scopus, WoS, EBSCO, ProQuest) and Google Scholar were used to search for relevant studies. The study followed the PRISMA guidelines and the PICO framework. Inter-rater reliability analyses were performed for both study selection and study quality assessment. Eleven relevant quantitative or mixed studies were identified. The findings indicate that EFL teachers perceived a positive effect of gamification on pupils' motivation and are satisfied with the applicability of gamification platforms. The findings revealed that internet and technology issues and a lack of teachers' skills are the most prominent negative factors when implementing gamification. Further experimental research is needed to provide evidence of the EFL teacher-perceived effectiveness of gamification on learning outcomes.

This research investigates a cohort of bilingual Chinese teachers' use of a multimodal approach in their Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) teaching. The data include the participants' CFL teaching practices and their reflections on multimodal teaching as recorded in their theses and a focus group discussion. The theoretical underpinning of this paper is based on Paivio's dual coding theory (DCT) and Kress's social-semiotic theory (SST). This research found that the teachers' multimodal use in CFL teaching demonstrated their research-informed committed endeavour in designing content specific activities to achieve pedagogical purposes, utilizing some digital technologies as a resource. The uniqueness of the written form of the Chinese language availed these teachers the opportunity to engage the multiple modes and advance their own understanding of multimodality as a concept. This research also found the teachers' meaning making through the multimodality did not always equate to that of their students' due to their social and cultural differences.

This study explores how students produce their own mini videos using the target language to share experiences and communicate with native speakers. Multimodality is used as a theoretical approach. Class observations and in-depth interviews were used for data collection, which was analysed by theme. The research results indicate that students deem it the agency of their own learning rather than completing the assignments given by the tutor; they gain more from the discussions among their peers and native speakers than from giving the presentations in class only; watching and making comments on their own videos is visually and mentally stimulating, which triggers more thoughts and expressions. Students appreciate the cooperation among themselves, while they also find it challenging to manage their publicity. This research provides empirical evidence on how to encourage students' initiative to improve language skills and enhance intercultural communication competence, which sheds light on reshaping language and intercultural communication education.
