This study explored the effects of technology-mediated task-based language teaching (TMTBLT) in an English as a foreign language (EFL) writing course on students’ descriptive writing performance. A quasi-experiment was conducted. Students in two writing courses were recruited and randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The participants in the experimental group were engaged in the technology-mediated writing task of transforming their descriptive writing assignment, in which they introduced local tourist attractions, into videos to exchange online with foreign virtual peers. A mixed-methods research approach was adopted to analyze the data collected from participants’ compositions and self-reflections. The results revealed that TMTBLT was effective in developing EFL students’ descriptive writing proficiency. In addition to improving their writing, the students enjoyed participating in the task and used multiple skills. The implications of this study for TMTBLT in EFL writing teaching practices are also discussed.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have come to stay supported by the development of educational technologies, and within them Language MOOCs (LMOOCs) are a phenomenon that has risen expectations but also shown their limitations. This study aims at comparing students’ preferences from two universities (UCO, Spain, and ULS, Poland) regarding the learning design preferences of LMOOCs and analyze whether there are differences based on sociocultural context, gender and educational stage. The respondents (n = 260) stated to be in favor of a balance between the constructivist and instructionist educational practices in online language courses. The findings reveal significant differences regarding LMOOCs learning and feedback design in terms of gender and sociocultural context, while no significant differences were found between undergraduate and postgraduate students. These results may be used to plan innovative and effective learning situations that suit learners’ needs and preferences, which should lead to higher quality of learning, and higher learner engagement and satisfaction.

Despite the increasing awareness of digital games’ potential for language learning, only a handful of studies focus on their integration into classrooms. Informed by bridging activities, this mixed methods case study recruited six students to engage in instructed gameplay in class and game-related activities after class. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analyzed so as to measure participants’ learning outcome, document their engagement, and explore their perceptions of game-based language learning. Results suggest progress in vocabulary recall and transfer. Participants also reported gains in writing and listening, satisfaction with the project, along with a positive attitude towards GBLL. Moreover, it is found that the instructor has a pivotal role to play in pre-game set-up, in-game guidance and post-game feedback. The study yields empirical evidence regarding the benefits of GBLL and may hold pedagogical implications for the integration of games into educational settings. The limitations of this research and future directions are also discussed.

In 2020, video conferencing went from a novelty to a necessity, and its usage skyrocketed due to shelter-in-place throughout the world. However, there is a scarcity of academic research on the psychological effects and mechanisms of video conferencing, and scholars need tools to understand this drastically scaled usage. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand EFL teachers’ expectations and needs for video conferencing tools. 578 English as a foreign language education teachers who live in Turkey participated in this study. Mixed-methods research was used to analyze the survey results. The findings of this study can be used to guide the selection of appropriate videoconferencing systems for educational purposes. They also provide information on how to investigate teaching methods and pedagogies for online education. This study also includes a series of suggestions for how to improve videoconferencing tools.

The language of evaluation can be identified not only in individual lexis but also in extended lexical-grammatical units such as phrase-frames. This study aims to explore evaluative phrase-frames and phraseological patterns in a corpus of conclusion chapters of doctoral theses. Through a corpus-driven analysis, a list of highly frequent phrase-frames were extracted and further refined to 21 evaluative phraseologies which contain an adjective in the variable position and are followed by a complement structure (e.g., it is * that). The identified phrase-frames were mapped onto different grammar patterns (Francis et al., 1998) and were analysed by Appraisal types (Martin & White, 2005) and evaluated entities (Thetela, 1997). The findings indicated that different phrase-frames and patterns showed clear preferences for particular Appraisal functions and evaluation types. This study suggests that there are interconnections among evaluative phrase-frames, their discourse functions, and different types of evaluation in academic discourse.
评价语言不仅可以在单独的词汇中识别，而且可以在扩展的词汇语法单位(如短语框架)中识别。本研究旨在探讨博士论文结论章节语料库中的评价性短语框架和短语模式。通过语料库驱动的分析，提取了一个频繁短语框架列表，并进一步提炼为21个评价性短语，这些短语在可变位置包含一个形容词，后面跟着一个补语结构(例如，it is * that)。识别出的短语框架被映射到不同的语法模式(Francis等人，1998年)，并通过评估类型(Martin & White, 2005年)和评估实体(Thetela, 1997年)进行分析。调查结果表明，不同的短语框架和模式显示出对特定评价功能和评价类型的明显偏好。本研究认为，学术语篇中评价性短语框架及其话语功能与不同类型的评价之间存在着内在联系。

This study aims at investigating the language strengths and weaknesses of Hong Kong self-directed learners, their learning needs and their self-directed learning experiences with the use of diagnostic language test and examining whether the test can help the learners to self-direct their own learning. The test results showed that less than half of the participants reached the satisfactory level of the diagnostic tests in the areas of listening, vocabulary, reading and grammar, and their weakest competence was vocabulary. The findings also revealed that the learners wanted to improve their communication skills, vocabulary, as well as speaking and listening skills, and that they had a need to learn a series of specific sub-skills regarding the four areas. The results yielded that the diagnostic test provided valuable information on the self-directed language learning, and suggested that teacher intervention, learning strategies and self-evaluation skills are required for the initial development of self-directed language learning.

This study explored forty-eight English as a second language learners’ perceptions of and attitudes towards pre-task planning in synchronous video-based computer-mediated (SvCMC) and real-time face-to-face (F2F) communication. The participants, randomly divided into SvCMC and F2F groups, performed a planned and unplanned task in SvCMC/F2F conditions. Interviews were conducted immediately after task performance to capture their perceptions of and attitudes towards pre-task planning and the communication modes. The findings revealed that over half of them perceived the usefulness of pre-task planning and favoured F2F to SvCMC. The participants’ opinions for pre-task planning were elaborated regarding the differences between the ±planning conditions concerning multitasking, organization planning, content preparation, real-world relevance, and responsiveness among non-planners. Their attitudes towards SvCMC and F2F were explained by the different natures of the communication modes and pair/group dynamics. The findings shed light on teaching L2 speaking in physical and virtual settings.

The use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) has been growing as an approach to facilitating second/foreign language (L2/FL) acquisition. Existing literature adopting CMC has investigated the efficacy of various devices (e.g., blogs, emails). However, few studies have explored the potential advantages of augmenting CMC-based learning with instruction. This study investigated the impact of CMC paired with instruction on EFL learners' pragmatic competence. Sixty-five Chinese EFL students were divided into two groups; the experimental group engaged in CMC with native English speakers and received instruction in compliment responses (CRs), while the control group had CMC without intervention. Result from an independent samples t-test indicated a significant difference between groups for properly using CRs, favoring the experimental group (p = .023). Furthermore, findings from interviews showed that cognitive load, teachers, and pragmatic knowledge affect EFL learners' pragmatic behaviors. Implications are discussed.

In an authentic class experience, preservice (N = 54) and in-service (N = 65) EFL teachers were assigned digitized formative assessment tasks, and their preferences were assessed using an assessment preferences questionnaire, with both open- and closed-ended questions. Following the pretest-posttest mixed-method design, data were collected and analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Quantitative findings revealed that, though the variety of their preferences increased, both groups had similar preferences after the intervention. Thematic analysis of their responses showed that most preservice and in-service teachers preferred online assessment methods to traditional and formative ones. With respect to the reasons they mentioned for selecting or avoiding a particular method, in-service teachers tended to be more practical and time-oriented than preservice ones, who were more precautious about the intricacies of preparing, responding, and reviewing the assessment task. Both groups also shared a number of emotional reasons and even prioritized them over all the other reasons.

The innovative use of technologies in language learning and teaching significantly impacts language education. This paper aims to investigate technology-enhanced language learning (TeLL) and teaching (TeLT) in higher education through surveying 223 students and 93 teachers across four Hong Kong universities, and interviewing around 50 students and 20 teachers. The current study investigated the e-resources/tools frequently adopted in language learning and teaching, how participants perceived the affordances of TeLL and TeLT, and challenges they had faced in technology-enhanced language learning and teaching. The results reveal that students and teachers perceived several affordances of TeLL and TeLT, such as provision of authentic materials, enhancement of interactivity, and enhancement of learner autonomy. A list of commonly adopted e-resources/tools for language learning and teaching were identified. The students and teachers also indicated what support they would hope to receive from a Community of Practice (CoP) on technology-enhanced language learning and teaching.
