Abstract

This study aimed to explore the perspectives of EFL instructors working in a variety of universities in the UAE on the effectiveness of AI applications in the EFL classroom. EFL teachers need to use AI applications in ways that are aligned with instructional goals and support student learning. A quantitative approach was used, and data was gathered from a survey of 46 EFL instructors. The results showed that the instructors strongly relied on AI applications to facilitate tasks, offer data-driven insights to improve instructional strategies and customize the learning process for each student. They also positively valued the benefits that AI applications bring to their classrooms for improving the teaching process. Notably, the results showed that the years of teaching experience had a statistically significant impact on the means of EFL instructors' perspectives regarding the benefits of adopting AI apps in EFL classrooms. The results also showed that, despite teaching experience, there were no significant differences in perceptions regarding the challenges of utilizing AI apps. This is probably because EFL students are accustomed to using technology in their lectures. Due to their benefits in English language instruction, the study suggests incorporating AI applications into the EFL teaching process. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-SIED1-05 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The present study aims to explore the perceptions and usage of Augmented Reality (AR) technology among media students in Palestinian universities. A quantitative approach was adopted, and data was gathered from a web-based survey of 237 media students. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was utilized to gauge participants' perceptions of AR, and descriptive statistics were used for analysis. The findings reveal a generally positive perception of AR as a beneficial tool for skill enhancement, with mean scores ranging from 3.70 to 4.04 indicating strong agreement. The study also found moderate to high AR usage among participants, particularly for translating texts using Google Translate, but noted that usage patterns were more individual-oriented. Additionally, 91.1% of respondents attributed the COVID-19 pandemic to increased technology usage in higher education. The novelty of this study lies in providing insights into the perception and application of AR in higher education within the Palestinian context, an under-researched area. The study sheds light on the potential for integrating AR more formally into curricula, which could foster a more engaging and immersive educational experience. However, it also highlights the need to address barriers such as lack of technical support and possible discomfort with technology. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SIED2-016 Full Text: PDF
