This study explored the experiences and perceptions of Thai and Vietnamese EFL learners regarding the use of ChatGPT for second language (L2) writing. It aimed to contribute to the ongoing discourse on using generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools to enhance L2 writing skills. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design with quantitative data gathered from 357 survey respondents from three educational institutions in Thailand and Vietnam and qualitative data from 16 interviewees from the same group of respondents, this study found that ChatGPT was perceived positively for L2 writing. Participants in the study found it a valuable tool for L2 writing, where its ability to generate ideas...

La fraseodidáctica es un área de la lingüística aplicada a la didáctica de las lenguas adicionales cada vez más prolífica. Múltiples estudios en Colombia se han centrado en este asunto a excepción de aquellos sobre la variante paisa. El presente estudio analiza la presencia de locuciones en el manual Maravillas del Español (v. 4). En términos generales, este estudio cualitativo encontró una cantidad considerable de locuciones en el manual (77), entre las cuales las más recurrentes fueron las verbales y las adverbiales; además, evidenció que estas se presentaban mayoritariamente al momento de exponer el input y que hay un conocimiento poco explícito y no declarado sobre el nivel de análisis...

This study investigates the transformative potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), particularly ChatGPT, in addressing educational challenges faced by Iranian English language teachers (N = 23). Drawing on qualitative data from focus group sessions, semi-structured interviews, and reflective essays, the study reveals five key themes: accessible learning materials, personalized learning experiences, addressing ideological influences, overcoming technological barriers, and combating isolation from global trends. The findings highlight GenAI’s capacity to provide diverse and up-to-date learning materials tailored to individual learners' needs, address ideological biases, and...

Intelligent voice assistants (IVAs) such as Alexa or Siri are voice-based AI systems that support users in various tasks with simple voice commands, making everyday life easier. However, users tend to have only a superficial understanding of the technological functionality of IVAs, leading to misconceptions and usage risks. To foster a self-determined interaction with IVAs, developing specific AI-related competencies, such as a comprehensive functional understanding, is essential. Three online training modules were developed based on learning psychology and media didactics principles to deepen the functional understanding of IVAs and empower self-determined use. In total, 180 participants...

The rise of Artificial Intelligence in educational contexts has sparked both excitement and trepidation, highlighting the urgent need to investigate its implications, especially in English Language Teaching. In light of this context, this study aimed to find out how English language teachers perceive the pedagogical benefits and challenges posed by ChatGPT when incorporated into ELT and identify potential avenues for such digital innovations. Adopting a qualitative research design, data were purposively collected by distributing an open-ended questionnaire to 46 English language teachers from multiple countries. This sample was solicited via the academic and research platform ResearchGate,...

The use of computational tools to predict academic success has become increasingly popular. Machine learning algorithms, trained on past study histories, have been shown to provide valid predictions. However, knowing about biases and unfairness in algorithms, one should take a closer look at these predictions. This paper explores the extent to which the predictive accuracy of academic success varies between specific groups of students, focusing on traditional and non-traditional students (NTS), who have not acquired a higher education entrance qualification at school. In a case study the study compares several popular algorithms and their prediction quality, and investigates whether...

This study examined and categorized the views of students and teachers in Philippine Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and correlated those with similar patterns of views regarding ChatGPT usage. While previous studies explored ChatGPT's risks and benefits, a significant gap remains in understanding how college students and educators perceive this technology for its culturally relevant and equitable integration into teaching and learning. Using Q-Methodology, 27 participants (15 students and 12 professors) were surveyed, interviewed, and invited to rank-order 36 statements about using ChatGPT. Three factors emerged from using factor analysis: Ethical Tech Guardians, Balanced Pedagogy...

Open-ended assessments play a pivotal role in enabling instructors to evaluate student knowledge acquisition and provide constructive feedback. Integrating large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 in educational settings presents a transformative opportunity for assessment methodologies. However, existing literature on LLMs addressing open-ended questions lacks breadth, relying on limited data or overlooking question difficulty levels. This study evaluates GPT-4's proficiency in responding to open-ended questions spanning diverse topics and cognitive complexities in comparison to human responses. To facilitate this assessment, we generated a dataset of 738 open-ended questions across...

ChatGPT's impact on education is both significant and inevitable, presenting a paradox of threats and benefits. While studies have explored ChatGPT's usage, intention, and motivation, few have addressed its paradoxical use from a benefit-risk-coping perspective, leaving gaps in practical and theoretical solutions. This study integrates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to elucidate ChatGPT's paradoxical use in education. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and fuzzy sets Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), it aims to provide insights and solutions for managing the benefits, risks, and coping mechanisms associated...

The potential application of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in schools and universities poses great challenges, especially for the assessment of students’ texts. Previous research has shown that people generally have difficulty distinguishing AI-generated from human-written texts; however, the ability of teachers to identify an AI-generated text among student essays has not yet been investigated. Here we show in two experimental studies that novice (N = 89) and experienced teachers (N = 200) could not identify texts generated by ChatGPT among student-written texts. However, there are some indications that more experienced teachers made more differentiated and more accurate...
