Abstract

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly prominent in multiple domains, including education, the scrutiny of the acceptance of this technology is critical for future educational agendas. ChatGPT is an example of AI that garners attention in the English Language Teaching (ELT) domain. This present study sought to evaluate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ acceptance of the pedagogical implementation of ChatGPT as an English grammar learning resource in classrooms. To this end, a descriptive quantitative design was employed. A questionnaire rooted in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was adapted to investigate 98 middle school students’ technological acceptance of ChatGPT upon completing a 6-week language teaching. Several items under the concern construct were added to the questionnaire to explore students’ concerns about using ChatGPT. The results suggest that the students generally had a constructive view of the usefulness, ease of use, attitude, and continuance intention to leverage ChatGPT to learn English grammar. However, some students raised concerns, such as becoming excessively reliant on ChatGPT, receiving inaccurate responses, deteriorating advanced cognitive skills, and possible academic misconduct. For pedagogical implications, this study underscores the significance of systematic instructional preparation, curricular alignment, and guidelines from educational institutions to incorporate ChatGPT into ELT classrooms

Abstract

This meta-analysis aimed to assess the overall effectiveness of Gen-AI-based interventions on learners’ English outcomes and to explore potential variations across educational contexts, broad language domains, and specific language domains. A total of 34 independent studies involving 2,579 participants were collected from three academic databases. The pooled estimate analysis revealed a statistically significant effect of Gen-AI on English learning outcomes. However, considerable variations were found across the included studies. This suggested that the effect varied depending on contextual and instructional variables. Further moderator analyses showed that Gen-AI was more consistently effective at the tertiary level and for productive skills, specifically writing skills. In contrast, evidence for other language learning domains and educational contexts remained inconclusive due to the limited number of available studies. Thus, future experimental studies are still needed, particularly to examine Gen-AI’s effects in underexplored areas. Finally, the findings suggest that ELT practitioners can use Gen-AI to support English teaching and augment learners’ outcomes. This meta-analysis offers evidence-based insights for policymakers to produce proper guidelines on Gen-AI use in ELT contexts.

Abstract

Writing medical Research Articles (RA) titles in English is a challenging endeavor, particularly for those who come from an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) background. This study thus sought to provide insights into the titling practices of medical RAs in Indonesian national and international journals. It aimed to uncover syntactic structures and rhetorical combinations of medical RA titles. A comparative mixed-methods design was employed to examine 120 RA titles published between 2021 and 2024 from 4 different international medical journals and 4 different national medical journals. The results suggested that RAs published in international medical journals have longer titles than those in national medical journals. Compound phrase titles are the most dominant syntactic feature in international medical journals, while nominal phrase titles are the most common syntactic feature in national medical journals. The most frequent rhetorical combination is the topic–method category. Finally, the indicative-form titles are far more dominant than the interrogative-form titles. In essence, there are meaningful similarities and differences between RA titles published in international and national journals, which potentially could have implications for English for Medical Purposes. Finally, the findings contribute to informing the titling practices of medical RAs in two distinct groups of journals.

Abstract

This present research aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and visual mapping of research trends and directions on second language willingness to communicate (L2 WTC) studies published between 2020 and 2025. Biblioshiny was used to conduct the bibliometric analysis, and VOSviewer for network visualization map. A total of 631 articles were collected from the Scopus database. The findings revealed a steady publication growth each year, with the highest rise in 2025. The three most productive and impactful authors included Lee, J.S., MacIntyre, P.D., and Peng, J-E. The most productive journal is the Language Teaching Research. China became the leading nation in both research production and international research collaboration. Finally, the keyword analysis showed seven clusters, with “WTC” as the largest node. Five emerging topics were identified, including emerging technologies, positive psychology, emotional regulations, intercultural and international orientations, and informal digital learning. Yet, scholarly interest around the foundational elements of L2 WTC, including individual and situational variables, remains relevant. Following the findings, implications for L2 teachers and future researchers are proposed in this study.
