Abstract

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) has become an integral component of contemporary language education, leveraging the ubiquity of mobile technologies to facilitate interactive learning beyond traditional settings. This study critically analyzes and classifies free, texting-based interaction applications, specifically HelloTalk and Linguado, assessing their features, pedagogical effectiveness, and user experiences through a mixed-methods design. Data were collected from twelve adult learners using judgmental evaluations, structured questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. Results demonstrate that HelloTalk exhibits superior feature diversity, user engagement, and facilitation of cultural exchange compared to Linguado, positioning it as more effective for intermediate language learners. Nonetheless, both applications present challenges concerning user safety, technical stability, and informal learning constraints. The study contextualizes these findings within constructivist and communicative language teaching frameworks, underscoring the potential of interaction applications to enhance communicative competence and intercultural understanding. Recommendations include advancing user safety protocols and integrating sophisticated interactive elements such as AI-driven chatbots to augment pedagogical value. This research addresses critical gaps in MALL application evaluation, particularly for adult learners and non-English languages, contributing valuable insights for educators, developers, and policymakers in digital language education.

Abstract

The education system in Pakistan faces challenges in effectively teaching English as a second language, prompting students to seek external support through coaching classes. This studyexplores the impact and implications of coaching classes on English language learning, examining their influence on academic performance and their emergence as a parallel education system. A mixed-method approach was adopted, utilizing surveys of 300 participants, in-depth interviews with 30 students, teachers, and parents, and classroom observations conducted in 10 schools and coaching centers. Quantitative analysis revealed that 75% of students attended coaching classes, with significant academic improvements in English performance noted for coached students compared to non-coached students (p < 0.05). Qualitative findings highlighted both the benefits and challenges: while coaching classes offer personalized attention and enhance exam preparation, they also impose a financial burden on families and reflect inadequacies in formal education. The study concludes that while coaching significantly enhances students’ English skills, it underscores the need for improvements within schools to provide more comprehensive language education. Addressing gaps in formal education could reduce over-reliance on coaching classes, ensuring more equitable access to language learning opportunities.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education offers transformative possibilities, particularly in enhancing classroom communication. However, its adoption remains uneven, especially in developing countries like Nigeria, where sociocultural, linguistic, and infrastructural barriers persist. This study investigates the adoption of AI-mediated communication among academic staff at the Federal College of Education (Technical) Akoka, Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative survey data from 200 respondents with qualitative insights to explore the extent of adoption, challenges encountered, and sociocultural influences. Results indicate that while 19.2% of respondents extensively use AI tools, a significant portion faces challenges such as inadequate funding (42.3%), limited technical expertise (15.4%), and infrastructural deficiencies (25%). Moreover, sociolinguistic issues, including the mismatch between AI tools and local languages, hinder effective communication. Resistance to change, rooted in traditional teaching norms, further complicates adoption. The study contributes by highlighting the interplay between sociocultural norms and technological resistance, offering a multidisciplinary perspective on AI integration in education. Recommendations include targeted professional development, infrastructure improvements, and the creation of culturally adaptive AI tools. These findings provide a replicable framework for enhancing AI adoption in similar educational contexts globally. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts of AI integration on teaching outcomes and develop policies addressing ethical considerations in AI usage. This study underscores the critical need for inclusive and localized AI solutions to bridge the technological gap in education.

Abstract

The impact of trauma on children's social, emotional, and academic growth is profound, yet teacher preparation programs, particularly in bilingual and multicultural contexts, often lack comprehensive training in trauma-informed practices. This qualitative study investigates the integration of trauma-informed approaches into a bilingual teacher education course at a university in West Texas. The study included 59 undergraduate pre-service teachers enrolled in a course on bilingual and multicultural education. Data were collected through preliminary and concluding written interviews, alongside ongoing instructional interventions, including discussions, case analyses, and trauma-informed strategies. Initially, participants demonstrated a limited understanding of trauma, associating it primarily with extreme events such as accidents or death. Post-course assessments, however, revealed a broadened understanding, recognizing everyday traumas like poverty, bullying, and family instability. Findings suggest that integrating trauma-informed approaches significantly enhances pre-service teachers' ability to identify and apply practical strategies to support trauma-affected students. The study introduces the Trauma-Informed Bilingual Teacher Preparation Model, focusing on key components such as foundational trauma knowledge, recognizing trauma symptoms, culturally responsive teaching, creating supportive environments, and fostering teacher resilience. By embedding trauma-informed practices in teacher education, this model prepares future educators to cultivate compassionate, inclusive classrooms, particularly in bilingual and multicultural settings. The study emphasizes the importance of curriculum reform to equip teachers with the necessary skills to support both students' emotional well-being and academic success.
