Evers, Katerina; Chen, Sufen – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
This study examined the difference in adults' pronunciation performance with peer feedback and individual practice when using an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. The same ASR software was used in both the comparison (n = 31) and the experimental group (n = 33) for 12 weeks. The participants were working adults in Taiwan. During the…

Liao, Jian; Lu, Xiaofei; Masters, Katherine A.; Dudek, Jaclyn; Zhou, Zhi – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
Real world places are important for foreign language (FL) learning since they provide rich and authentic language and cultural contexts for learners. However, numerous FL learners are unable to travel to target-language environments for language learning purposes. This article develops the concept of telepresence-place-based FL learning and…

Vakili, Shokoufeh; Ebadi, Saman – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
Theoretically grounded in Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of mind, Dynamic Assessment (DA) provides researchers with the opportunity to investigate different aspects of learners' developmental trajectory, including the ways they overcome their errors. As a qualitative inquiry into the nature of errors reflecting learners' development in academic…

Bueno-Alastuey, M. Camino; Nemeth, Katalin – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
To date, several studies have investigated the potential benefits of using Quizlet and podcasts for vocabulary development. However, they have mainly focused on the use of available material, and its effects on receptive vocabulary acquisition and students' motivation. In contrast, relatively little has been done to study the effects of…

Xu, Zhihong; Banerjee, Manjari; Ramirez, Gilbert; Zhu, Gang; Wijekumar, Kausalai – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2019
Learning to write well can be a significant contributor to English language proficiency. The large population of English language learners (ELLs) has highlighted the need for educational technology as an important support for the different approaches to writing instruction for ELLs. In this meta-analysis, we examined the effectiveness of…

Henry, Michael; Carroll, Fiona; Cunliffe, Daniel; Kop, Rita – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2018
Advances in technology are currently helping to speed up the globalisation of 'super' languages. One can argue that at the same time technology might be used to help reverse the decline of less widely spoken languages. Cada Dia (CD) is a social learning method which uses online web meeting platforms, in combination with asynchronous learning…

de Vries, Bart Penning; Cucchiarini, Catia; Bodnar, Stephen; Strik, Helmer; van Hout, Roeland – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2015
Speaking practice is important for learners of a second language. Computer assisted language learning (CALL) systems can provide attractive opportunities for speaking practice when combined with automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology. In this paper, we present a CALL system that offers spoken practice of word order, an important aspect of…
