Since their release in late 2022, generative AI (genAI) tools have led to widespread use, including among teachers. The aim of our study is to examine several factors that may be implicated in teachers' motivation and engagement to harness genAI in teaching and learning. We examined contextual (i.e., autonomy-supportive leadership, autonomy-thwarting leadership), occupational experience (i.e., professional growth striving, change-related stress), and background factors (i.e., gender, age, teaching experience, contract length, class size, school level) as predictors of motivation (i.e., genAI valuing) and, in turn, engagement (i.e., integration in teaching-related work and student learning...

Retaining learner engagement is a major challenge in online learning environments, which is even more intensified with learning spaces increasingly built by combining resources from multiple independent sources. Narrative-centric learning experience has been found to improve learner engagement by several researchers. Towards this end, we propose an AI-based approach that generates auxiliary learning content called narrative fragments which are interspersed into the learning pathways to create interactive learning narratives. The proposed approach consists of the automatic generation of two types of narrative fragments– overviews of the learning pathway segments and reflection...

Teacher corrective feedback (TCF) plays a vital role in second language (L2) learning. Recent studies have examined feedback provided by both human teachers and large language models (LLMs). However, little is known about how students' trust differs toward scaffolded corrective feedback (SCF)—that is, feedback that incrementally progresses from indirect to direct during interaction—when it is provided by an LLM such as ChatGPT versus a language teacher. To address this gap, this study compared the effects of SCF, delivered by language teachers and ChatGPT, on L2 learning outcomes and student trust. Using a mixed-methods design, 40 lower-intermediate Iranian learners of English as a foreign...

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies has revolutionized higher education, enhancing personalized learning and teaching practices. This study conducts a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effects of GenAI on university students' motivation and engagement (cognitive, behavioural, emotional, and agency). By synthesizing experimental studies and applying association rule mining, the study (i) identifies significant positive impacts of GenAI on students' motivation and engagement across diverse educational settings. (ii) key moderating variables, such as subject category, learning strategy, and context of GenAI usage, are shown to...

The learning process depends on the nature of the learning environment, particularly in the case of open-ended learning environments, where the learning process is considered to be non-linear. In this paper, we report on the findings of employing a multimodal Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based methodology to investigate the temporal learning processes of two types of learners that have learning gains and a type that does not have learning gains in an open-ended collaborative learning activity. Considering log data, speech behavior, affective states and gaze patterns, we find that all learners start from a similar state of non-productivity, but once out of it they are unlikely to fall back into...

Spanish is one of the most widely spoken and learnt languages worldwide. Spanish teaching in Africa has been relevant in Francophone countries and the Magreb. In the Southern region of Africa, Madagascar and South Africa are the two countries with the higher number of learners. In South Africa, although students in higher education are motivated to learn Spanish, the implementation of language policies and the current Spanish language curriculum in South African universities have largely set back the number of enrolments in recent years. In this paper, we examine the current situation of Spanish studies in higher education institutions in South Africa, focusing on the cases of the...

ChatGPT has quickly infiltrated the educational landscape and teachers are engaging with this tool to support their teaching activities, including lesson development. In this study, eight elementary school teachers are guided in the development of motivationally-supportive mathematics lessons using ChatGPT as a tool to support student positive mathematics emotions, motivation, and engagement as theorized within Control Value Theory (CVT). Results reveal that teachers found ChatGPT useful for this purpose and that the lessons implemented demonstrated some success in fostering motivationally-supportive math activities. Compared to non-ChatGPT lessons, in lessons developed with ChatGPT, the...

The present study investigates the effectiveness of a GenAI-based chatbot, “Reading Bot,” in reducing foreign language reading anxiety (FLRA) and improving foreign language reading performance (FLRP) among Chinese secondary school students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). To do so, a mixed-methods quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design with qualitative interviews was employed. After ensuring homogeneity between the two groups, one class was designated as the experimental group (n = 42), utilizing a chatbot as a treatment, while the other class served as the comparison group (n = 42), receiving traditional teacher support. Both groups participated in five 45-min reading...

En el presente artículo se dan a conocer los resultados de la investigación que tiene como finalidad abordar el papel de las variables afectivas motivación y actitudes en el aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera (E/LE) en un contexto formal extraescolar. Este estudio se sitúa en el campo de adquisición del español como lengua extranjera con aprendientes adultos alemanes. Se ha optado por una metodología que se adapta a los modelos de tipo descriptivo correlacional para establecer las posibles relaciones entre las variables estudiadas. Para medir estadísticamente las posibles correlaciones entre las variables estudiadas, se ha aplicado el Coeficiente de Correlación de Pearson (r)....

This study examines the impact of structured instruction on artificial intelligence (AI) use for improving academic writing in a non-English context. Participants included first-year students enrolled in a teacher education program, including some with disabilities. Three writing tasks were designed: typed essay, AI-based essay, and a critical AI use essay. The repeated measures analyses revealed that targeted AI integration supported overall writing quality, as indicated by improvements in language use, structure, and content. Additionally, students felt more confident when familiarizing themselves with effective prompt strategies. Students with learning difficulties exhibited the most...
