Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for education are being developed at an increasing pace. It seems reasonable to assume that these applications would enhance student experiences and course satisfaction, and that therefore educational institutions should invest in these technologies to enhance their student offer. However, this should be tested empirically. In the current study a gender-balanced sample of 302 UK students rated course satisfaction, completed the General Attitudes towards AI Scale (GAAIS), comfortableness with AI educational applications, and course satisfaction if AI educational applications were adopted. Although students were, on average, moderately comfortable...

Although affective states play a crucial role in education, they are often difficult to communicate and observe in online learning environments. This challenge has led to growing research on systems that can automatically detect affective states. This systematic literature review used PRISMA to analyze 96 studies on affective computing in online higher education, published between 2019 and 2024. The findings show that the most frequently studied affective states include learning-centered states, such as engagement, confusion, frustration, sentiment, as well as basic emotions, such as happiness, anger, sadness, surprise, and fear. Terminology often overlaps, and basic emotions are commonly...

El presente artículo se centra en algunos aspectos del conocimiento receptivo y productivo del vocabulario de LE. Primero, en base a las diversas definiciones de los conceptos propuestas por los especialistas en el léxico de LE, se constata que todavía no existe una definición conclusiva de los dos tipos de conocimiento. Segundo, se pretende aclarar su relación exponiendo algunos de los modelos explicativos de dicha relación propuestos desde la década de los años noventa.

The present paper focuses on some aspects of the receptive and productive knowledge of the vocabulary in second language. At first, on the basis of the various definitions of these concepts that have been proposed...

To address the complexity and high costs of developing listening tests for test-takers of varying proficiency levels, this study investigates the capabilities of an OpenAI's large language model, ChatGPT 4, in developing listening assessments. Employing prompt engineering and fine-tuning of prompts, the study specifically focuses on creating listening scripts and test items using ChatGPT 4 for test-takers across a spectrum of proficiency levels (academic, low, intermediate, and advanced). For comparability, the 24 topics of these scripts were selected from topics found in academic listening tests. We conducted two types of analyses to evaluate the quality of the output. First, we performed...

The rapid adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and DeepSeek R1 is transforming learning in higher education, yet unstructured use can weaken critical thinking by encouraging cognitive offloading, metacognitive disengagement, and reduced epistemic agency. This paper presents a conceptual and normative analysis that synthesises research from cognitive psychology, educational theory, and AI ethics to develop a design-oriented pedagogical framework for integrating LLMs in ways that strengthen, rather than displace, higher-order thinking. Grounded in design-based research principles, the framework identifies six essential processes that underpin critical engagement: conceptual...

En este artículo tratamos las estrategias de vocabulario destinadas al aprendizaje léxico, así como al buen desarrollo de la comunicación. Tanto las estrategias de aprendizaje de vocabulario como las de comunicación contribuyen al desarrollo de la competencia léxica y comunicativa y así permiten al aprendiz llevar a cabo comunicaciones exitosas. Las estrategias de comunicación tienen, asimismo, un papel compensatorio para cubrir lagunas léxicas. Los aprendices recurren a diversos subtipos de estrategias con base en la L1 o la propia L2 para compensar su falta de conocimiento léxico.

This paper delas with vocabulary strategies aimed at lexical learning and at the development of...

The use of video and paper-based materials is commonly widespread in foreign language learning (FLL). It is well established that the level of acceptance of these materials influences learning outcomes, but there is lack of evidence regarding the use and related impact of videos generated by artificial intelligence (AI) on these aspects. This paper used linear mixed models and path analysis to investigate the influence of student acceptance of AI-generated short videos on learning outcomes compared to paper-based materials. Student acceptance was assessed based on perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), attitude (A), intentions (I), and concentration (C). The results...

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly integrated into students’ academic lives in Ghana, making it crucial to examine their perspectives on ethical dimensions. Against this backdrop, this study assesses the artificial intelligence ethical awareness (AIEA) among 509 Ghanaian university students across the dimensions of human autonomy, beneficence, and fairness, based on AIEA scale originally developed and validated in Hong Kong. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the scale’s three-factor structure within this setting. The network analysis also demonstrated meaningful interconnection among the dimensions, with select items serving as conceptual links, most prominently tying...

Spanish Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) provision perfectly reflects what is happening in the kaleidoscopic European language learning landscape. Even though English is the most widely used language in this type of programme, in the course of more than two decades of implementation, CLIL has adapted to the diverse and ecological language policy of the European Union through disparate models in the different regions. Despite the differences among the various contexts, CLIL implementation has morphed into the design of language policies at school level (San Isidro & Lasagabaster, 2019), and these language policies are inextricably connected to teacher qualification,...
