ChatGPT has been a revolutionizing AI Chatbot, that has impacted academia significantly. Although there has been a number of studies over the influence of AI and education, a focus towards why students use it is minimal. This study explores factors affecting student use of ChatGPT through a triangulation approach, blending exploratory, qualitative, and quantitative analyses. Through exploration of factors via prior literature and analysis of narratives by the respondents of qualitative analysis to measuring their relationships quantitatively using SEM techniques, the study identifies core reasons to use ChatGPT by students of higher education. The findings highlight the significance of six...

This study extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate the adoption of AI tools among university students, incorporating Ethics and Trust as moderating variables and Subjective Norms as a quadratic variable. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) on a sample of 437 students’ reveals that Perceived Usefulness (PU) significantly influences Attitude Toward Using (ATU), while Perceived Ease of Use (PU) significantly influences Attitude Toward Using (ATU), while Perceived Ease of Use (PEoU) does not, suggesting familiarity with technology reduces the role of ease of use. Ethics positively impacts ATU, highlighting its importance in shaping attitudes. However, Ethics and Trust do not...

Este estudio explora la integración de ChatGPT en la formación inicial del profesorado de ELE, destacando la necesidad de incluir formación en IA en el currículo docente. Los hallazgos indican una percepción positiva de ChatGPT como herramienta educativa, con estudiantes reconociendo su utilidad para mejorar el aprendizaje y la enseñanza de idiomas. A pesar de la familiaridad limitada con la IA, la mayoría aprecia la posibilidad de integrar estas herramientas en su formación. El estudio, aplicando un enfoque metodológico mixto en un grupo selecto de estudiantes, arroja luz sobre las aplicaciones potenciales de ChatGPT y su influencia en la motivación y compromiso estudiantil,...

Resumen:

This mixed-methods study examined how learners’ competence-based and affect-based trust in their teachers predicted their feedback-seeking behaviors both directly and indirectly through their internal cost–value analyses. Questionnaire data were collected from 207 foreign language learners at a North American university, and interviews were conducted with seven participants with high vs. low levels of trust in their teachers. Multiple regression results showed that competence-based and affect-based trust predicted learners’ feedback-seeking behaviors (both monitoring and inquiry), and these relationships were mostly mediated either positively by feedback value or negatively by the self-presentation cost of feedback-seeking. Analysis of the qualitative data supported the quantitative findings, highlighting radically different concerns...

En la enseñanza de segundas lenguas, la pronunciación ha quedado, generalmente, relegada a un segundo plano. Al intentar señalar las causas de este hecho, se ha destacado como una de las principales la inseguridad de los profesores, quienes suelen considerar que es indispensable poseer amplios conocimientos de fonética para poder enseñar este aspecto de la L2. No se ha prestado tanta atención, en cambio, a la reticencia de los propios estudiantes a aprender la pronunciación. Es habitual que los aprendices se muestren escépticos, en cierta medida, ante sus propios errores: no acaban de creer que sus emisiones no se ajustan al modelo de corrección presentado por el profesor, puesto que no perciben...

Given the complex language repertoire of a large number of students within Austrian schools, particularly in lower secondary schools, it would be critically important to understand their practices, attitudes, and beliefs towards the multiple languages they encounter in their different areas of life. In this study I redefine and expand on the construct of engagement with language to incorporate an investigation of the different languages (hereafter LX) that learners come into contact with in and outside of school. I propose the construct of ‘engagement with LX’ to depict how learners utilize, reflect on, and relate to the LX in their repertoires in all contexts of their lives, including English as...

Resumen:

Peer assessment has been found to have many advantages in learning particularly when viewing it through a socio-cultural lens. This study explored peer assessment across language teacher education coursework, following 15 teacher candidates through three semesters of TEFL coursework. This longitudinal approach is rare with peer assessment research. Surveys and interviews were collected to understand the students’ perception of peer assessment, including how it contributed to their learning and its summative use. Results indicated that repeatedly practicing peer assessment in coursework led to increased positive perception about its usefulness in learning and enhanced trust in peers as qualified assessors, but with a complex interaction of various factors in students’ perception, such as perceived task difficulty, interpersonal...

Resumen:

Although the positive relationship between growth language mindsets and engagement has been consistently supported in previous empirical studies, the literature is dominated by quantitative approaches in the English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) contexts, neglecting the triangulation of qualitative data delving into how learners perceive the contribution of growth mindsets to engagement. Such neglect is especially notable among multilingual learners. Further, it remains unknown which dimensions of growth language mindset were the most influential for specific dimensions of engagement and whether the pattern was different for English learning and language other than English (LOTE) learning. To fill the gaps, the current study adopted a concurrent embedded mixed-methods approach with questionnaires and interviews. A total of 464 Chinese...

Resumen:

The present study examines how learners’ language mindsets (beliefs about the malleability of language intelligence) and achievement goals predict learners’ preferences for different types of corrective feedback (CF). Questionnaire data were collected from 537 learners of Spanish as a foreign language at two North-American universities. Factor analytic and multiple regression results showed two clear patterns. A growth language mindset (the belief that language learning ability is malleable) predicted preferences for all types of CF whereas a fixed language mindset predicted a preference for conversational recast and absence of CF. A development-approach goal (concerned with improving one’s language competence) positively predicted learners’ preference for the explicit types of CF whereas a development-avoidance goal (concerned with...

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar las diferencias culturales que acontecen en el aula de enseñanza de español de diferentes universidades de China. La investigación se centra en la valoración del enfoque comunicativo por parte de los estudiantes, basándonos en un diseño mixto de datos cualitativos y cuantitativos. Los resultados de investigaciones anteriores realizadas a profesores de lengua inglesa muestran que los estudiantes chinos poseen un bajo nivel de adaptación ante los métodos de enseñanza que practican los profesores extranjeros, por este motivo, mediante la presente investigación, tratará de ver si sucede lo mismo con las clases de ELE de los profesores hispanos, para...
