Large Language Models (LLMs) in Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning enable highly personalized learning, yet raise significant challenges related to pedagogical grounding, data privacy, and instructional validity. Although Knowledge Graph...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities to generate instructional materials calibrated to learners’ proficiency levels; however, evidence on its use in extensive and intensive reading instruction remains limited. This mixed-m...
The China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) is a small, sodium-cooled fast reactor with 20 MW(e) of power. Start-up tests of the CEFR were performed from 2010 to 2011. The China Institute of Atomic Energy made some of the neutronics start-up-test data...
Many education systems globally adopt an English proficiency test (EPT) as an effective mechanism to evaluate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) speakers’ comprehension levels. Similarly, Taiwan’s military academy also developed the Mili...
Sociolinguistic competence (SC) has been recognised as essential for Communicative Language Teaching since the 1970s and features prominently in policy documents like the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Research demonstra...
This exploratory study examines whether chatbot-mediated written interaction supports adult B2 English learners’ performance in online interaction, pluricultural competence, and mediation in Official Language Schools (OLS) in Spain. The interve...
This study investigated how test room acoustic conditions relate to listening comprehension performance in a high-stakes English as a foreign language (EFL) assessment context. Using score data (n = 2532) from five TOEFL ITP test sessions conducted b...
Efficient and accurate recognition of highway pavement cracks is crucial for the timely maintenance and long-term use of expressways. Among the existing crack acquisition methods, human-based approaches are inefficient, whereas carrier-based automate...
During the last five years, language teaching in Europe has been heavily influenced by two major occurrences. On the one hand, the outbreak of COVID-19 forced teachers to extensively adapt many of their teaching practices to the digital world; this m...
Earth is currently facing a multifaceted planetary emergency, primarily due to a lack of fundamental knowledge regarding critical global issues. This situation necessitates the integration of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by...
In programs meant for foreign language majors, there is typically a broad range of linguistic competence in advanced-level Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP) courses. Troublesome in any course, this is especially so when instruction directly relat...
Awareness of the need for surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in water environments is growing, but there is uncertainty regarding appropriate monitoring targets. Adapting culture-based fecal indicator monitoring to include antibiotics in...
This exploratory cluster-randomized mixed-methods study examined reading development and learner experience across AI-adaptive, teacher-differentiated, and non-differentiated EFL reading instruction. Eighty-seven university-level EFL learners, classi...
This work introduces an automatic classification system for measuring the complexity level of a given Italian text under a linguistic point-of-view. The task of measuring the complexity of a text is cast to a supervised classification problem by expl...
Virtual Worlds (VWs) are popular tools for teaching/learning in the twenty-first century classroom. The challenge remains however, to provide the means by which teachers could sustainably analyse and assess the performance of large groups of students...
The study aimed to systematically analyze studies published between 2013 and 2025 on the second-grade primary school EFL curriculum in Türkiye. The study identified the strengths and weaknesses of the components of the English curriculum and exa...
This study investigated conceptual change in novice English teachers’ understanding of English teaching fostered through an Attentive Teaching-based professional development course. In particular, the practice of an approach called Attentive Te...
Grounded in sociocultural theory, collaboration has been recognized as a useful teaching method. In English teaching, while a number of studies have examined the effectiveness of collaboration on grammar, research on pragmatic awareness is scarce. As...
Currently, international nuclear fission reactors producing medical isotopes face the problem of shutdown and maintenance, decommissioning, or dismantling, while the production capacity of domestic research reactors for medical radioisotopes is inade...
Many studies have shown that flow, psychological capital (PsyCap), anxiety, and academic efficacy play significant roles in EFL learning, yet little attention has been paid to how these positive and negative states jointly shape learners’ PsyCa...
The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and gamification in language education has attracted increasing attention, but its link to sustainability is still largely unexamined. This study looks at whether and how much this area of research tac...
Pragmatic competence is an indispensable component of communicative competence, which plays an essential role in human communication. When an individual is communicatively competent, he/she can carry out an effective conversation in social situations...
