  • Expanding the learning ecology and autonomy of language learners with mobile technologies

    Yijen Wang

    Educational Technology & Society    2024年04月

     概要を見る

    With mobile phones now in the hands of virtually all of our learners, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to imagine environments that do not include learning through mobile devices in even some small capacity. The interest in mobile learning is reflected in the enormous number of publications which have appeared over the past 10 to 15 years, but there are still questions about when, how, and why learners will choose to use or not use mobile devices as a regular part of their learning (Stockwell, 2022). Furthermore, the "disruptive" nature of mobile devices (see Hampel, 2019) has caused mixed reactions from teachers, some of whom feel that they are a distraction in the classroom, while others see a shifting of responsibility to the learners as a positive that can lead to autonomous behaviours that facilitate learning. Making the most of learning through mobile learning is dependent upon understanding the expectations of teachers, learners, and administrators, and to capitalise upon the affordances of the device, the learning ecology, and the short-term and long-term goals of the learners. This paper explores how mobile learning can play a role both inside and outside of the classroom, and the impact that it may have on both formal and informal learning opportunities. It includes a discussion of the shifting roles of teachers and learners, and then going on to explore the myths associated with technology in the development and sustainment of motivation and autonomy.

  • Exploring the Challenges of Technology in Language Teaching in the Aftermath of the Pandemic

    Glenn Stockwell, Yijen Wang

    RELC Journal    2023年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been varied, and while there was a clear upsurge in the use of technology in language and learning contexts during the worst lockdown periods, the long-term impact on technology usage remains to be seen. As has been widely noted, lockdowns forced teaching into remote modes, making technology indispensable. Many teachers found themselves struggling to use technologies with little or no experience or training, and often in spite of earlier resistance to using it. The affective barriers to using technology may have decreased somewhat, but other potential problems have arisen as well. There has generally been a narrow view about the effectiveness of technology use in language teaching and learning. During the pandemic, teaching often entailed using videoconferencing tools as a means of emulating face-to-face teaching, albeit inhibited by the limitations and the affordances of the technologies. While research into mobile learning prospered prior to the pandemic, long periods of lockdown saw them being used as little more than a backup for when other technologies experienced technical difficulties. In this paper, we discuss not only the often-cited positive effects of technology usage in language learning during COVID, but also the possible negative implications for how technology has come to be used and viewed by learners, teachers, and administrators. Suggestions for a potential way forward in this ‘aftermath’ of the pandemic are discussed, along with some guidelines for making the most of what we have learned about using technology for language learning in the future.

  • In-service teachers’ perceptions of technology integration and practices in a Japanese university context

    Yijen Wang

    JALT CALL Journal   17 ( 1 ) 45 - 71  2021年

     概要を見る

    To understand in-service language teachers’ intrinsic barriers to technology integration in higher education contexts, this in-depth study investigated four teachers teaching Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) at a private university in Japan. The researcher trained the four teachers with varied digital literacy how to create and utilise online materials in a dedicated Moodle site, and the teachers’ training processes, as well as actual classroom practices, were then observed. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected over three semesters, including: (1) a pilot survey before Moodle integration to access the teachers’ attitudes and expectation of educational technology use; (2) classroom observations to investigate how the participants use technology in their CFL classroom; (3) audio recordings and field notes collected in a workshop and interviews to explore reasons behind behaviours; and (4) access logs in Moodle to determine the participants’ engagement through online materials inside and outside the classroom. The findings’ implications in terms of teachers’ experiences, emotions, competences, beliefs, motivations, and sociocultural factors affecting their determinations of technology integration in CFL classrooms in a Japanese higher-education setting are presented. Future considerations and ongoing challenges are discussed to highlight the implications for research, policymakers, teacher educators, and stakeholders.

    <jats:p>The XXIst International CALL Research Smart Conference was hosted by Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan on July 8-10, 2022. The theme of the conference was Smart CALL, where “Smart” is defined as possessing three qualities: personalization, contextualization, and socialization. Personalization is the extent to which technologies and learning environments are adapted to the specific profile of the language learner. Contextualization is how technologies and learning environments can be adjusted to the specific context of the learner. Socialization is the way in which technologies and learning environments afford meaningful interaction amongst learners, co-learners, teachers and researchers.</jats:p>

  • Training Japanese learners to use machine translation for academic English writing and reading

    2023年  

     概要を見る

    AI tools have gradually taken on a greater role in foreign language learning in recent years. However, there is a lack of explicit dialogue between teachers and students on how to use online machine translation (MT) for language learning purposes, despite evidence of its use by students. Additionally, the emergence of ChatGPT, a new chat bot, has caused controversy in education as institutions consider banning its usage due to concerns about cheating. While research has identified areas where MT can be useful for second language (L2) writing, ChatGPT's potential remains largely unexplored. To address this, a study investigated the perspectives and practices of approximately seventy Japanese learners of English at a university in Japan on the use of Deep-L and ChatGPT for academic English writing, as well as the impact of targeted training in their use. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, writing task analysis, and observation of learner strategies. The writing was analysed for content, structure, and lexical and syntactic complexity and accuracy. The results of the study indicate the shifts in learner attitudes and behaviour resulting from the training. The study sheds insights into raising awareness among language learners about the pedagogical uses and potential pitfalls of AI tools.&nbsp;

  • Exploring affordances of machine translation for academic English learning

    2023年  

     概要を見る

    Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have quietly assumed a larger role in learning foreign languages over the past several years. As the quality of online machine translation (MT) has improved in recent years, how to use it for language learning purposes seems to be the “elephant in the classroom” (Loock, Lechauguette, &amp; Holt, 2022), with a lack of explicit dialogue between teachers and learners regarding if, when, and how it should be used. There is evidence that students use online MT tools as a part of their language learning repertoire, but many teachers are still hesitant to allow them to be used officially (Ducar &amp; Schocket, 2018; Lee, 2022). Similarly, an emerging new chat bot called ChatGPT was released in late 2022, causing an uproar in education with many institutions considering banning its usage over concerns that students may use it to cheat on exams and assignments. While research has started to identify areas where MT has the potential to be useful for L2 writing, particularly with lexical and syntactic aspects, as an emerging technology, the affordances of ChatGPT in L2 writing remain largely unexplored. It has the potential to encompass some elements associated with MT such as the ability to translate text on request, but it tends to do this at a more holistic level when compared to standard MT tools even including relevant citations and references according to designated formats. To raise language learners’ awareness of the pedagogical uses and potential pitfalls of AI tools, approximately seventy Japanese learners of English at a university in Japan were investigated for their current perspectives and practices with Deep-L and ChatGPT, as well as the impact of targeted training in their use. Strategies that focus on using these tools for planning, writing, and editing were provided. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including: (1) learner attitude surveys; (2) analysis of writing tasks; and (3) observation of strategies used by learners. The processes and products of learners’ writing in English were analysed in terms of content, structure, and lexical and syntactic complexity and accuracy. The study seeks to explore the differences in attitudes towards academic English writing, MT, and ChatGPT, as well as examining both the writing processes and learners’ completed essays. Data collection is still ongoing, and preliminary results will be discussed in terms of the shifts in learner attitudes and behavior with Deep-L and ChatGPT as a result of the training.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;References&nbsp;Ducar, C., &amp; Schocket, D.H.

  • Using Moodle for Self-directed Learning: Teacher and Student Voice

    2022年  

     概要を見る

    The current research project aims to understand how teachers and students perceive self-directed learning on Chinese language through Moodle. The potential functions of the Learning Management System (LMS) allow students to set goals, select strategies, and evaluate learning outcomes that further facilitate their autonomy. However, how language teachers and learners view the use of the learning methods may be different. Understanding teachers’ and learners’ perceptions toward self-directed learning methods in online language learning contexts may help improve the quality of online education. Thus, this mixed-method research investigated Chinese language teachers’&nbsp;and university students’ perception of self-directed learning on a dedicated Moodle site by conducting: 1) three open-ended surveys to understand the participants’ attitudes toward self-directed learning; 2) individual interviews with the participants to explore their beliefs, and 3) activity logs on Moodle to record their engagement. The affordance and implications of using Moodle to facilitate autonomy will be discussed in light of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural engagement.
