Evidence indicates that providing personalized support is critical to SRL. However, providing personalized support is time-consuming and challenging to implement in language classrooms. Although personalized support has been built into many online reading systems, the support is often delivered in a one-way manner, with little chance for follow-up discussions. This innovation in practice introduces an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot developed to provide personalized SRL support for EFL students in reading. The AI chatbot was designed as a reading companion to facilitate active, out-of-class reading that expands in-class instruction. By giving autonomy to students to engage with appropriate reading materials and receive personalized self-regulated reading (SRR) guidance, the innovation empowered learners to overcome challenges in the reading process and facilitated their use of SRR strategies. The pedagogical values of the innovation were explored from students’ perspectives. Future pedagogical directions for AI-supported SRR instruction is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":46946,"journal":{"name":"Relc Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the popularity of Exploratory Practice in different contexts, there has been little exploration of how Web 2.0 can be employed in Exploratory Practice to enhance language learning and teaching, considering the reality of a digital world for both language teachers and learners. This article bridges this gap by introducing Exploratory Practice with Web 2.0 to a Chinese high school English class, prompted by a teacher's puzzle regarding her students’ English-speaking difficulties. Normal classroom activities were used as data-collection tools. This innovation was found effective in boosting students’ confidence and comfort in speaking English in class and in enhancing teaching and learning experiences. The innovation, therefore, affirms Exploratory Practice as a viable research proposal for practitioners and the value of integrating Web 2.0 with Exploratory Practice to explore issues in language classrooms.","PeriodicalId":46946,"journal":{"name":"Relc Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140972963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The innovation stemmed from the common situation that English-language learners feel self-conscious when speaking in front of their peers. To overcome this problem, the metaverse was used to provide a virtual space for students to practice dialogues and speeches using avatars. The two-phase implementation involved practicing dialogues from the American sitcom Friends and celebrity speeches in the metaverse space. Surveys and reflections showed that this approach significantly improved students’ confidence, motivation and English speaking skills by reducing the anxiety associated with physical presence. Nevertheless, some technical limitations, such as connectivity issues and constraints on virtual expression, were observed. Based on the findings, this study suggests the metaverse as a powerful tool for overcoming affective barriers in language learning, providing a safe and engaging platform for students to practice speaking skills. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of selecting appropriate metaverse platforms and considering technical factors such as device compatibility and internet stability.","PeriodicalId":46946,"journal":{"name":"Relc Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140942196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These platforms enable job candidates to take automated video interviews remotely using their personal devices. The interviews are analysed by artificial intelligence (AI) powered algorithms to produce analytics which inform hiring decisions. In this article, we explore the use of automated job interviewing within professional English subjects delivered to undergraduate students in Hong Kong. The innovation was introduced to help students to keep up with recruitment practices, provide speaking practice and explore AI-powered evaluation as a form of feedback. As well as outlining how automated interviewing was integrated into our teaching practice, we discuss student feedback on the experience and offer suggestions for future teaching practice with this technology. We also highlight considerations for practitioners such as the acceptance and adoption of AI technologies into language learning provision and the development of AI literacy skills. AI technologies have much potential for language teaching and this article offers a practical exploration into one such technology: automated job interviewing.","PeriodicalId":46946,"journal":{"name":"Relc Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140711525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
