Abstract

In the domain of first and second language (L1/L2) acquisition, Morpheme Order Studies (MOS) encapsulate a body of influential research. This study specifically aimed to (1) assess the accuracy of nine grammatical morphemes used by Chinese learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in their compositions, (2) investigate the factors affecting the accurate use of these morphemes among Chinese EFL learners, and (3) explore the interventions implemented by their instructors to assist the Chinese EFL learners in accurately using these intricate grammatical constructs. Employing the Target-Like Use methodology, the data were collected from the essays of 108 high school learners in Kunming, Yunnan, China, to ascertain the order of their accuracy in using these morphemes. Subsequently, a semi-structured interview was conducted with five EFL instructors and 15 tested learners to delve into the factors influencing their proficiency with specific complex morphemes and the application of instructional interventions used by the instructors. The findings of the study revealed that the learners did not consistently adhere to Krashen’s hypothesized natural order; rather, they exhibited idiosyncratic acquisition patterns. Particularly, it was noteworthy that there was a relatively low accuracy observed in the usage of certain morphemes, such as irregular past and 3rd person singular –s (features absent in the learners’ native language). Furthermore, factors contributing to the diminished accuracy of these specific morphemes include the learners’ mother tongue interference in their use of these morphemes, syntactic and semantic complexities, motivational factors, environmental factors, and limited output of specific morphemes. Additionally, the research uncovered various interventions such as peer review, storytelling, and incorporating songs employed by the EFL instructors to assist the Chinese EFL learners in using these challenging grammatical morphemes correctly. This study provides valuable insights for EFL students, instructors, curriculum developers, and textbook editors.

Abstract

The Malaysian Chinese Independent Secondary Schools (MCISS) strive to develop students proficient in three languages: Chinese, English, and Malay. Despite the national status of the Malay language, learners in these schools consistently demonstrate low proficiency in it. A key reason for this shortfall is the students’ limited interest in learning the language. This study explores the underlying factors contributing to this phenomenon, including students’ attitudes toward the language, motivation, instructional methods, learning strategies, family engagement, National Education Policy and UEC recognition. Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 4,602 Senior II MCISS students through convenience sampling. Pearson correlation analysis indicated positive relationships between language learning interest and variables such as language attitude, motivation, instructional methods, learning strategies, family engagement, and National Education Policy and UEC recognition. Multiple regression analysis revealed that motivation, attitude, classroom learning, family engagement, the National Education Policy, and UEC recognition collectively accounted for 32.2% of the variance in students’ interest in learning Malay. The study’s implications extend to policymakers, educators, and curriculum designers, suggesting the integration of culturally relevant and engaging teaching strategies, stronger home–school partnerships, and policy adjustments to strengthen Malay language learning motivation among MCISS students.

Abstract

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on language learning has grown rapidly, with various AI-based tools emerging. However, comprehensive reviews of its role in College English education in China remain scarce. Following PRISMA guidelines, this study systematically reviewed peer-reviewed empirical articles published between August 2013 and August 2023 across nine databases, including CNKI. Of the 1,224 screened studies, 15 empirical works from China (two in Chinese) were included, and a comparative analysis was conducted on the types of AI applied and their relevance to College English teaching. The findings indicate a generally positive attitude toward AI integration in College English, with particular emphasis on AI assessment systems and visual technologies. However, the review also identifies a techno-instrumentalist bias, with AI primarily framed as a tool for performance enhancement, while its implications for learner agency and identity construction remain underexamined. This review summarizes the decade's research trends, revealing that studies predominantly used quantitative and experimental methods, while qualitative research and mixed-methods studies were relatively scarce. Notably, research between 2019 and 2023 surged around immersive and automated systems, raising questions about which types of AI attract academic and institutional focus. Future research should diversify methodologies and address sociocultural, ethical, and equity issues in AI use. Though generative AI is emerging, its accessibility and ease of use mark a shift from resource-intensive tools like VR. Yet, its growing adoption requires critical inquiry into whose knowledge it privileges and what ideologies it reinforces in English education.
