The main objective of the present study is to report the challenges and affordances of technologies used for computerassisted vocabulary learning (CAVL), as described in current literature. A systematic review was conducted, and the results were visualized in a hierarchical data model. Following a rigorous screening process, 97 peer-reviewed articles published from 2014 to 2020 were selected from major related databases. Theoretically, the findings inform researchers about the reported limitations and advantages of computer-assisted L2 vocabulary learning and serve as a road map for future research directions. Pedagogically, the findings provide L2 teachers with an instruction manual to inform their practice, allowing them to benefit from the reported affordances of CAVL and take measures to address the reported challenges.","PeriodicalId":46819,"journal":{"name":"CALICO Journal","volume":"40 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81297934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, very few reviews have been conducted to examine teachers’ telecollaborative learning. To address this gap, this study provides a systematic review of 56 telecollaborative studies that focused on teacher professional learning and were published between 2010 and 2020. The study aims to address the following two questions: What are the main characteristics of methodologies used in teacher telecollaborative studies? What are the main characteristics of pedagogical applications of teacher telecollaborative studies? Besides reporting on emerging methodological trends among the primary studies, this synthesis uncovers three patterns in the pedagogical applications: (a) diversification of mixed pedagogical models, (b) increased integration of pedagogical mentoring across telecollaborative learning stages, and (c) increased integration of telecollaboration in classroom practices. These findings offer implications for future research and practice in the field of language teacher education.","PeriodicalId":46819,"journal":{"name":"CALICO Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88926434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we first provide an overview of Pear Decks’ features and some background information about this tool. Then, we discuss its technological features as well as its pedagogical features. Next, we evaluate the teacher fit in terms of theoretical underpinning of this tool and how it can support student learning. We underline that Pear Deck might be beneficial in creating more student-centered and collaborative slide presentations and in allowing teachers provide their students with ongoing formative assessments. We also discuss how Pear Deck can address the needs of diverse group of learners which is crucial in the distant learning environment of COVID-19 pandemic when learners might feel more isolated and might need individualized help. In this respect, we point out that Pear Deck has some features such as Teacher Dashboard which allows teachers to monitor individual student progress and provide immediate tailored feedback. However, we note that some additional features such as student-takeaways, immersive reader and audio options for slides are only available in paid “Premium” version which limits the efficacy of the product.\u0000Producer DetailsPear Deck308 E Burlington St #303,Iowa City, IA 52240https://www.peardeck.com","PeriodicalId":46819,"journal":{"name":"CALICO Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89377197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study investigates potential benefits of a nontraditional assignment, texting, on vocabulary acquisition and motivation in adult learners of Spanish. Quantitative results support the idea that nontraditional writing tasks can provide a beneficial supplement to traditional classroom instruction, offering a place for peer-to-peer interaction, which has been shown to increase learners’ vocabulary and potentially motivation. Future research regarding the use of texting in language learning, and the extent to which it could replace traditional writing assignments, is undoubtedly warranted.","PeriodicalId":46819,"journal":{"name":"CALICO Journal","volume":"521 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77451118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main affordances of virtual reality (VR) technology include immersing learners in an authentic cultural context almost anywhere on the globe, while manifesting a strong sense of presence and enabling learning through embodied cognition, which involves kinesthetic engagement. In this article, we first review current models of immersive learning and note how certain processes of second language and culture learning are missing in these models. Using some examples of IVR apps for second language learning, we discuss the research to date that focuses on the affordances of the technology for languaculture learning and propose how the effectiveness of these apps could be studied, expanding on the cognitive-affective model of immersive learning (CAMIL, proposed by Makransky & Petersen, 2021) to include social factors. We conclude with some recommendations for the development of future IVR apps for languaculture learning that follow our expanded theoretical model.","PeriodicalId":46819,"journal":{"name":"CALICO Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89269175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
