AbstractMachine translation (MT) practice and activity development in education are possible when students with diverse backgrounds contribute to helping define how MT can best be used for language learning. This study employed a questionnaire based on an adapted version of the technology acceptance model (TAM) to gain perspective on the perceptions, attitudes, and use of MT tools like Google Translate among Saudi and Korean university students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). A total of 470 students were recruited from Saudi Arabia and South Korea to complete a questionnaire measuring scales on perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude, actual use, and intended future use of MT websites. Structural equation modeling analyzed the relationships among the TAM variables. Results found that Saudi and Korean students both reported high levels on the TAM variables, indicating that translation tools were easy to use and useful for studying language. Lower L2 proficiency correlated with greater perceived usefulness and a more positive attitude. Students frequently use MT tools when learning English and plan to continue using them in the future. The model explained 71% of actual use and 42% of behavioral intention to use MT for language learning. Furthermore, Saudi students reported a slightly easier time using MT tools for language learning, while Korean students planned to use MT more often. Other findings, along with practical applications, are presented in this paper.Keywords: Machine translationGoogle Translatetechnology acceptance modelEnglish as a Foreign Language computer-assisted language learning Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementAvailable upon request.Additional informationFundingThe authors extend their appreciation to the Deanship of Scientific Research, Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU), Saudi Arabia, for funding this research work through Grant No. (221407008).
摘要当不同背景的学生参与定义机器翻译在语言学习中的最佳应用时,机器翻译在教育中的实践和活动发展是可能的。本研究采用了一份基于技术接受模型(TAM)的调查问卷,以获得沙特和韩国大学生学习英语作为外语(EFL)时对谷歌翻译等机器翻译工具的看法、态度和使用的看法。从沙特阿拉伯和韩国共招募了470名学生,完成了一份MT网站的感知易用性、感知有用性、态度、实际使用和预期未来使用量表的问卷调查。结构方程模型分析了TAM变量之间的关系。结果发现,沙特和韩国学生都报告了高水平的TAM变量,这表明翻译工具易于使用并且对学习语言有用。较低的第二语言熟练程度与较高的感知有用性和更积极的态度相关。学生在学习英语时经常使用MT工具,并计划在未来继续使用它们。该模型解释了使用机器学习进行语言学习的71%的实际使用和42%的行为意图。此外,沙特学生报告说,在语言学习中使用机器翻译工具稍微容易一些,而韩国学生计划更频繁地使用机器翻译。本文还介绍了其他研究结果以及实际应用。关键词:机器翻译谷歌翻译技术接受模型英语作为外语计算机辅助语言学习披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。数据可用性声明可根据要求提供。作者感谢沙特阿拉伯伊玛目穆罕默德·伊本·沙特伊斯兰大学(IMSIU)科学研究部主任通过第5号拨款资助本研究工作。(221407008)。

AbstractThis study investigated participants’ perceived attitudinal learning in language massive open online courses (LMOOCs). A mixed-method design was used to evaluate the attitudinal learning outcomes of 151 participants who completed the attitudinal learning questionnaire at the middle and end of the course, as well as 10 participants who participated in interviews. The questionnaire was used to measure four areas of attitudinal learning: cognitive, affective, behavioural and social. Results showed that participants perceived positive learning outcomes in cognitive learning, behavioural learning and social learning, providing insights into evidence that an LMOOC can be a useful tool to support positive attitudinal learning toward learning Chinese language and culture. Special attention should be paid to designing and facilitating LMOOCs in various contexts to further understand language learners and their attitudes.Keywords: Attitudinal learninglanguage MOOC (LMOOC)mixed methods designlanguage learnerscross-cultural communication AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank Paz Díez-Arcón for her valuable comments and suggestions.

AbstractDrawing on Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, the present study aims to examine the effectiveness of technology-mediated teaching vocabulary in the form of multimedia glosses on EFL learners’ depth and breadth of lexical knowledge. The study was conducted with 91 male and female undergraduate students at a lower-intermediate level of English proficiency in Iran. Participants of the study were randomly assigned into two-variable group contrasts, experimental (text + visual) and control (text-only) groups. They attended 16 reading sessions once a week during which the experimental group practiced computerized reading texts with pop-up text and picture glosses and the control group practiced reading similar texts with pop-up text only. The relative efficacy of teaching activities in vocabulary learning was assessed by using the Word Associates Test for measuring lexical depth and the Updated Vocabulary Levels Test for measuring the lexical breadth before and after the intervention program. To scrutinize the data, ANCOVA and t-test have been done. Results of ANCOVA revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in both tests, and the result of the t-test specified that participants kept the scores in the Vocabulary Levels Test significantly higher than the Word Associates Test in the outperforming group. This means that using multimedia glosses in teaching vocabulary has a significant effect on improving both the breadth and depth of lexical knowledge of EFL learners. However, the effect is more significant on breadth than depth of lexical knowledge. The study by analyzing separate measurements of the breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge of EFL learners provided original research in vocabulary teaching and learning and offered pedagogical implications for language teaching.Keywords: ESLlanguage teachingmultimedia glossescomputerized textscognitive theory AcknowledgementsThe researcher appreciates all the participants of the study.Authors’ contributionsThis study is a single-author study, and the only contributor is the author herself.

摘要本研究以迈耶的多媒体学习认知理论为基础,探讨多媒体词汇教学对英语学习者词汇知识深度和广度的影响。这项研究是在伊朗对91名英语水平较低的男女本科生进行的。研究参与者被随机分配到双变量组对比,实验组(文本+视觉)和对照组(纯文本)组。他们每周参加16次阅读课程,在此期间,实验组练习电脑阅读带有弹出文本和图片注释的文本,对照组练习阅读只有弹出文本的类似文本。采用词汇关联测验测量词汇深度和更新词汇水平测验测量干预前后词汇广度,评估教学活动在词汇学习方面的相对效果。为了仔细检查数据,我们做了ANCOVA和t检验。ANCOVA结果显示,实验组在两项测试中的表现均优于对照组,t检验结果表明,表现优异组的词汇水平测试成绩显著高于表现优异组的单词联想测试成绩。这意味着在词汇教学中使用多媒体词汇表对提高英语学习者词汇知识的广度和深度都有显著的效果。然而,这种影响对词汇知识的广度比对词汇知识的深度更为显著。本研究分析了英语学习者词汇知识的广度和深度,为词汇教与学提供了原创性研究,并为语言教学提供了教学启示。关键词:英语教学多媒体词汇计算机文本认知理论致谢研究者感谢所有研究参与者。作者的贡献本研究为单作者研究,唯一的贡献者是作者本人。作者阅读并批准了最后的手稿。披露声明作者报告无竞争利益需要申报。数据可用性声明支持本研究结果的数据可应要求从作者处获得。作者简介:mandana Rohollahzadeh Ebadi是伊朗伊斯兰阿扎德大学北德黑兰分校外国语学院的兼职助理教授。她在马来西亚马来亚大学获得TESL博士学位。Mandana教授在应用语言学的不同子领域拥有超过15年的教学经验,包括第二语言习得/学习、理论与原理、英语语言学习技巧、测试与评估、语篇与语用学和研究方法。她的研究兴趣包括基于技术的语言教学,CALL,纠正反馈和吸收。

AbstractIn Computer-assisted language learning (CALL), the relationship between learner background and classroom-based digital language learning has been widely studied; however, little attention has been directed to informal digital learning of English (IDLE), a crucial subdomain of inquiry of CALL. Building on our prior IDLE study, this explanatory mixed-method study set out to examine and explore the relationships between IDLE and learners’ demographics by drawing on questionnaire responses collected from 1080 Chinese university EFL learners and interview results from nine selected survey respondents. Quantitative results revealed the variance in IDLE that can be accounted for individually and in concert with learners’ demographic information, socioeconomic backgrounds, proficiency levels, and their use of digital devices and the predicting power of these factors. The results indicated that gender, university type, students’ self-rated speaking skills, standardized test results, and the number of digital devices in use contributed to the variance of IDLE. Learners’ majors, writing skills, devices using time, ethnicity, family income, and regional backgrounds predicted their engagement in IDLE activities. Qualitative results further explained these findings by highlighting how learners of various backgrounds engaged in IDLE practices in specific settings. Cross-case content analysis of the interview results provided interpretations and an in-depth understanding of learners’ situated IDLE experiences. Future studies are suggested to focus more on ethnic minority groups, students from less developed regions and ordinary universities, and non-English majors, who are less likely to benefit from IDLE activities. More attention should also be paid to how students of various sociocultural backgrounds actually engage with IDLE activities in various settings across time to address IDLE dynamics.Keywords: Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE)language learning beyond the classroomdemographic informationproficiencydigital devices Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
摘要在计算机辅助语言学习(CALL)中,学习者背景与基于课堂的数字语言学习之间的关系得到了广泛的研究;然而,非正式数字英语学习(IDLE)这一CALL研究的重要子领域却很少受到关注。在我们之前的IDLE研究的基础上,本解释性混合方法研究通过对1080名中国大学英语学习者的问卷调查和对9名被调查者的访谈结果,开始检查和探索IDLE与学习者人口统计学之间的关系。定量结果显示,IDLE的差异可以单独解释,也可以与学习者的人口统计信息、社会经济背景、熟练程度、数字设备的使用以及这些因素的预测能力相一致。结果表明,性别、大学类型、学生自评口语能力、标准化考试成绩和使用数字设备的数量对IDLE的差异有影响。学习者的专业、写作技能、设备使用时间、种族、家庭收入和地区背景预测了他们参与IDLE活动的程度。定性结果进一步解释了这些发现,强调了不同背景的学习者如何在特定环境中进行IDLE练习。对访谈结果的跨案例内容分析提供了对学习者所处的IDLE经历的解读和深入理解。未来的研究建议更多地关注少数民族,来自欠发达地区和普通大学的学生,以及非英语专业的学生,他们不太可能从IDLE活动中受益。还应该更多地关注不同社会文化背景的学生如何在不同的时间背景下实际参与IDLE活动,以解决IDLE动态问题。关键词:非正式数字英语学习(IDLE)课堂之外的语言学习人口统计信息熟练程度数字设备披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

Telecollaboration: from linguistic insecurity to linguistic confidence in Spanish as a heritage language 远程协作:从语言不安全感到西班牙语作为传统语言的语言自信

AbstractFor heritage speakers (HSs), speaking their heritage language (HL) sometimes comes accompanied by HL anxiety and/or lack of confidence in their HL skills Although, HL anxiety and lack of confidence in the HL usually intertwine with few opportunities to use the language and/or being perceived as speakers of a stigmatized variety of the HL, the present study focuses on telecollaboration as a catalyst for linguistic confidence in the HL. For six weeks, 13 dyads of HSs and Mexican Spanish speakers synchronously interacted via Zoom and Google Docs. To observe the effects of telecollaboration on HSs’ linguistic confidence, data were collected via weekly written reflections and the recordings of the Zoom meetings. Although all HSs participants were enrolled in third-year courses for Spanish HSs at a large public U.S. university in Texas, their proficiency levels varied from low self-perceived to high self-perceived proficiency. Results exhibited that these differences did not derive in distinct outcomes and all the participants could develop linguistic confidence when interacting in their HL. These results shed light into the importance of providing HSs with more resources to maintain their HL and encouraging them to use Spanish in different contexts.Keywords: TelecollaborationSpanish Heritage speakerslinguistic confidencelinguistic insecurity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Linguistic confidence is a concept that was firstly used in the field of Second Language Acquisition as a predictor of the Willingness to Communicate Model (see Clément et al., Citation2003; MacIntyre, Citation1994; MacIntyre et al., Citation1998). This construct is defined as a ‘variable encompassing both a lack of anxiety and positive self-ratings of L2 proficiency’ (cf. MacIntyre et al., Citation1998; Sampasivam & Clément, Citation2014, p. 25).2 From the three-orientations toward Language Diversity Model (Nover, Citation1995), HLs or minority languages may be seen from a language-as-a-problem orientation in the United States.

摘要对于传承语者(HSs)来说,说他们的传承语言(HL)有时伴随着HL焦虑和/或对他们的HL技能缺乏信心。尽管HL焦虑和对HL缺乏信心通常与很少有机会使用该语言和/或被认为是HL的耻辱变体的使用者交织在一起,本研究侧重于远程协作作为HL语言自信的催化剂。在六周的时间里,13对HSs和讲西班牙语的墨西哥人通过Zoom和Google Docs同步互动。为了观察远程协作对HSs语言自信的影响,通过每周书面反思和Zoom会议记录收集数据。虽然所有的HSs参与者都在德克萨斯州的一所大型美国公立大学参加了西班牙语HSs的三年级课程,但他们的熟练程度从低到高不等。结果表明,这些差异并没有产生明显的结果,所有参与者都可以在他们的语言交流中建立语言自信。这些结果揭示了为高英语学生提供更多资源来维持他们的语言水平并鼓励他们在不同的环境中使用西班牙语的重要性。关键词:远程协作西班牙语传统演讲者语言自信语言不安全感披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1语言自信是一个概念,最初用于第二语言习得领域,作为交流意愿模型的预测因子(参见climastment et al., Citation2003;麦金太尔,Citation1994;MacIntyre et al., Citation1998)。这个结构被定义为“包含缺乏焦虑和对第二语言熟练程度的积极自我评价的变量”(参见MacIntyre等人,Citation1998;Sampasivam & climement, Citation2014, p. 25)从语言多样性的三取向模型(Nover, Citation1995)来看,美国的语言或少数民族语言可以从语言作为问题的取向来看待。从这个角度来看,少数民族语言被贬值,有利于主导语言。从这个意义上说,少数民族语言的维护和使用成为“个人为减轻[这种语言]统治的影响而采取的行动”(de Heredia, Citation2013, p. 6)来自两所大学的参与者之间的接触是可能的,因为作者和来自墨西哥的教授是长期的熟人本研究报告的结果仅适用于这26名参与者根据试点研究的结果(Guerrero-Rodriguez, Citation2021),可以观察到,在同性组/组中工作的参与者比随机分配到混合性别组的参与者在相互交流时感觉更舒服该项目是根据完成情况进行评估的来自墨西哥的讲师用英语确定了对话的最小长度。这是为了尽量减少她的学生与来自美国的人说英语时所经历的焦虑。学生们只互动了五次,因为试点研究的参与者报告说,由于每个人的时间表和活动不同,每周见面很复杂参与者没有接受任何有关美国西班牙语动态、语言使用、传统双语等方面的培训。所有的参与者都只说这个项目是大学生之间的文化和语言交流数据来自于参与者在与墨西哥学生第一次互动之前提交的反思分析根据参与者对双语语言概况的反应。11参与者与他们的墨西哥伙伴进行了至少1小时的互动(即3次互动,每次至少20分钟),并保持了两次书面互动。这些参与者平均互动时间为2.30小时母语主义(Holliday, Citation2006)是一种意识形态,认为母语者是理想的语言教师(Viáfara González, Citation2015, Citation2020;Widdowson, Citation1994)基于单语意识形态、纯粹主义和“无口音”意识形态(如Cook, Citation1999;Lippi-Green Citation1997;火车,Citation2007)。

For six weeks, 13 dyads of HSs and Mexican Spanish speakers synchronously interacted via Zoom and Google Docs. To observe the effects of telecollaboration on HSs’ linguistic confidence, data were collected via weekly written reflections and the recordings of the Zoom meetings. Although all HSs participants were enrolled in third-year courses for Spanish HSs at a large public U.S. university in Texas, their proficiency levels varied from low self-perceived to high self-perceived proficiency.

AbstractBeing described as two sides of one coin, language and culture are increasingly recommended to be inseparably addressed. Thanks to technological advances, this is now more feasible than before. In response, this study examined the comparative effects of synchronous and asynchronous telecollaborative digital media projects (DMPs) on learners’ macro-and micro-level oral proficiency and intercultural competence. Telecollaboration took place between Egyptian TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) student-teachers (N = 56, randomly selected) and a convenient sample of English natives (N = 28) at Michigan State University in the US. Each group was randomly assigned to two groups: synchronous and asynchronous. The concurrent triangulation mixed-method design was followed to collect and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data. The study concluded that synchronous and asynchronous telecollaborative DMPs yielded improvements in all micro-and macro-level oral proficiency skills except discourse management, which did not only improve among the synchronous participants but also retreated among the asynchronous ones. Also, synchronous telecollaborators outperformed the asynchronous ones in all macro-and micro-level skills except vocabulary and grammar. Besides, despite improvement after telecollaboration, none of the four groups outdid the others either in overall or factor-level intercultural competence. Qualitative findings revealed that TEFL participants appreciated telecollaboration and DMP generation and exchange activities, whereas they were dissatisfied with the inadequate and unequal opportunities for interaction with the natives, native speakers being too natural, and being restricted to single-mode interaction. However, they reported a number of linguistic, cultural, and emotional gains from these experiences.Keywords: Synchronous and asynchronoustelecollaborationdigital media projectsmacro-and micro-level oral proficiencyintercultural competence Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethical approvalBoth the TEFL and native participants in the current study were volunteers. An informed consent form was filled out by them prior to participating in the study and after explaining the treatment procedures in detail. The participants’ anonymity was also assured.

摘要语言和文化被称为一枚硬币的两面,越来越被认为是不可分割的。由于技术的进步,这比以前更可行。为此,本研究考察了同步和异步远程协作数字媒体项目(dmp)对学习者宏观和微观层面的口语能力和跨文化能力的比较影响。远程协作在埃及TEFL(英语作为外语教学)学生教师(N = 56,随机选择)和美国密歇根州立大学的英语母语学生(N = 28)之间进行。每组随机分为两组:同步组和异步组。采用并行三角剖分混合法设计,对定量和定性数据进行采集和分析。研究发现,同步和异步远程协作dmp在微观和宏观层面的口语熟练程度均有提高,但话语管理水平在同步参与者中有所提高,而在异步参与者中有所下降。此外,除了词汇和语法外,同步远程协作者在所有宏观和微观层面的技能上都优于异步远程协作者。此外,尽管远程协作后有所改善,但在整体或因素层面的跨文化能力方面,四组都没有超过其他组。定性研究发现,TEFL参与者对远程协作、DMP生成和交流活动表示赞赏,而对与母语人士互动的机会不足和不平等、母语人士过于自然、仅限于单一模式的互动感到不满。然而,他们从这些经历中获得了许多语言、文化和情感上的收获。关键词:同步与异步合作;数字媒体项目;宏观与微观水平;口语熟练程度;跨文化能力披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。道德认可在当前的研究中,TEFL和母语参与者都是志愿者。在参与研究之前和详细解释治疗程序之后,他们填写了知情同意书。参与者的匿名性也得到了保证。没有根本的利益冲突。研究方案由密歇根州立大学(MSU)的IRB(机构审查委员会)审查,因此已获得批准(MSU研究IRB批准ID: STUDY00007691)。

AbstractThis article reports on the results of an investigation into what matters to learners of language Massive Open Online Courses (LMOOCs). The study conducted content and sentiment analyses of learner reviews of LMOOCs to investigate the key themes/subthemes in learner reviews and learners’ emotional tendencies in the themes/subthemes as well as differences in learners’ emotional tendencies detected in themes/subthemes. The dataset for this study included 8,671 learner reviews collected from 42 College English MOOCs hosted at a major MOOC platform in China. The content analysis identified four major themes—course, instructor, learning, and platform—and nine subthemes, revealing what learners were concerned about LMOOCs. The sentiment analysis detected both similarities and differences in learners’ emotional tendencies expressed in different themes/subthemes, showing that learners as a whole held overwhelmingly positive attitudes towards the LMOOCs but had grave concerns about curriculum design, instructors’ personal traits, and learning management system. These results yield a nuanced understanding of learners’ likes and dislikes about LMOOCs and provide important implications for enhancing the design, delivery, and development of LMOOCs.Keywords: Language Massive Open Online Courses (LMOOCs)content analysissentiment analysiscourse review AcknowledgementsThis study is part of a larger research project on computer-assisted language learning supported by the National Social Science Fund of China (23AYY023) and the Start-Up Research Grant of Ningbo University.

This study explored teachers’ perceived benefits, issues and their responses to the issues when conducting synchronous online English language teaching (SOELT) for young learners via the lens of Bourdieu’s (Citation1986) capital framework. A mixed-methods design using in-depth interviews and a Likert-scale survey was adopted to investigate the perceptions of 124 Vietnamese EFL teachers in different public primary schools in Vietnam. Quantitative analyses revealed teachers’ little access to economic capital as compared to social and cultural capital when conducing SOELT. Content-based analyses of interview data show that conducting SOELT for young learners increased teachers’ access to social and cultural capital in the form of 1) enhanced online pedagogical skills, 2) greater awareness of the potential of technologies for online teaching and professional development, and 3) increased collaboration among colleagues and students’ parents. However, the lack of economic capital created issues for implementing SOELT. Notably, teachers’ perceptions appeared to be contradictory because they reported good access to social and cultural capital, but they stated multiple issues related to the access to these two types of capital. The interviews also revealed teachers’ adoption of two strategies to resolve emergent SOELT issues: approach coping and avoidant coping strategies. Besides, the results show that teachers’ degrees of access to capital were not associated with their background characteristics. The results overall indicate benefits and issues of SOELT that are both common to online education and specific to the characteristics of young learners.
本研究通过Bourdieu (Citation1986)的资本框架,探讨了教师在对年轻学习者进行同步在线英语教学(SOELT)时的感知利益、问题以及他们对问题的反应。采用深度访谈和李克特量表调查的混合方法设计,对越南不同公立小学的124名越南英语教师的认知进行了调查。定量分析显示,与社会和文化资本相比,教师在进行外语教学时获得的经济资本很少。基于内容的访谈数据分析表明,对年轻学习者进行SOELT增加了教师获得社会和文化资本的途径,其形式是:1)提高了在线教学技能;2)提高了对在线教学和专业发展技术潜力的认识;3)增加了同事和学生家长之间的合作。然而,缺乏经济资本为实施SOELT带来了问题。值得注意的是,教师的看法似乎是矛盾的,因为他们报告了良好的社会和文化资本,但他们陈述了与获得这两种资本相关的多个问题。访谈还揭示了教师在解决突发英语问题时采用的两种策略:趋近式应对和回避式应对。此外,研究结果显示,教师的资本获取程度与其背景特征无关。总体而言,结果表明了SOELT的好处和问题,这些好处和问题既适用于在线教育,也适用于年轻学习者的特点。

AbstractResearch on second language (L2) writing suggests that student engagement with automated writing evaluation (AWE) feedback is influenced by various individual and contextual factors. Little attention, however, has been given to the role that students’ digital literacy can play in this process. Increasingly, digital literacy is becoming indispensable in language teaching and learning as reading, writing, and communicating are conducted and mediated by digital technologies. This study explores how seven L2 students engaged with AWE feedback on their L2 writing in a Chinese university, analysing data collected from student written texts, AWE feedback, and student interviews. We found that the students engaged with AWE feedback in different ways in terms of their perceptions, attitudes, and revisions. The study shows that students’ digital literacy has considerable impact on how they engaged with AWE feedback regardless of their L2 proficiency. We argue that L2 students’ digital literacy, characterised by an awareness of the affordances and constraints of technologies, an ability to evaluate digital information, and a willingness to use digital technologies for peer collaboration, can be a key factor in effective student engagement with AWE feedback on L2 writing.Keywords: Digital literacystudent engagementAWE feedbacksecond language writing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
摘要对第二语言(L2)写作的研究表明,学生对自动写作评估反馈的参与受到各种个人和情境因素的影响。然而,很少有人注意到学生的数字素养在这一过程中所起的作用。数字素养在语言教学和学习中越来越不可或缺,因为阅读、写作和交流都是通过数字技术进行和调解的。本研究通过分析从学生书面文本、AWE反馈和学生访谈中收集的数据,探讨了一所中国大学的七名二语学生如何利用AWE反馈来提高他们的二语写作。我们发现,学生们在感知、态度和修改方面以不同的方式参与AWE反馈。研究表明,无论学生的第二语言熟练程度如何,他们的数字素养对他们如何参与AWE反馈有相当大的影响。我们认为,第二语言学生的数字素养,其特点是对技术的支持和限制的认识,评估数字信息的能力,以及在同伴合作中使用数字技术的意愿,可以成为学生有效参与AWE对第二语言写作反馈的关键因素。关键词:数字素养学生参与度awe反馈第二语言写作披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突
