These changes include the integration of ICT applications into the academic culture. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of AI in supporting students who use a second language in higher education. This evaluation is conducted through a case study focusing on the course ‘Approaches to Teaching Hebrew as a Second Language’, designed for Arab-Bedouin female students in Israel. The study examines the impact of AI tools on the students' written and oral expression in Hebrew, their second language. Employing the method of self-reflection, a form of action research, the study centres on the experiences of teachers and teacher trainees. The analysis draws on three data sources: written assignments submitted by the students, oral presentations of academic articles delivered in Hebrew, and reflective insights provided by the students at the end of the course. The findings reveal that in both contexts–written and oral expression–the use of AI proved effective. AI tools enhanced the quality of the students' written projects, which focused on research topics, and improved their oral presentation skills.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47585,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Education","volume":"61 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these students frequently encounter distinct challenges stemming from their cultural backgrounds, language proficiency, and prior educational experiences. This study focuses on the achievement gap between ethnic minority and non-minority students within the Chinese higher education system. By analysing data from 19,637 undergraduates across 37 universities, this study used the Chinese version of the College Student Experiences Questionnaire to examine the influence of college environment on student learning gains and to determine whether the mediating effects of academic and social activities varied across ethnic groups. The structural equation modelling results suggested that: (1) a positive association existed between college environment and learning gains for both ethnic minority and non-minority students; (2) both academic and social activities partially mediated this relationship; and (3) the impact of social activities on learning gains was significantly less pronounced for ethnic minority students, thereby revealing a critical disparity. This study underscores the important role of college environment in fostering student learning and emphasises the necessity of tailored support mechanisms designed to address the unique challenges experienced by ethnic minority students.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47585,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Education","volume":"61 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, these models may not fully capture the contextually grounded competencies needed for effective L2 teaching. Furthermore, many of these models are designed for in-service L2 teachers, leaving pre-service teachers largely unaddressed. To fill this gap, this study utilised the Behavioural Event Interview (BEI) to analyse the GenAI literacy of 20 pre-service L2 teachers from universities in China, who were divided into two groups: 10 high-performing and 10 average-performing participants. Using MAXQDA 2022 for data analysis, 18 key GenAI literacy attributes were identified. An independent <i>t</i>-test conducted with SPSS 26 revealed that nine of these attributes were discriminative (i.e., <i>Agency</i>, <i>Developmental Motivation</i>, <i>Resilience</i>, <i>Prompt Design</i>, <i>Multiple-tool Integration</i>, <i>Classroom Interaction</i>, <i>Personalised Teaching</i>, <i>Reflective Practice</i>, and <i>Collaborative Innovation</i>), distinguishing high performers from average ones. The remaining attributes were categorised as benchmark competencies (i.e., <i>Value Cognition</i>, <i>Characteristic Cognition</i>, <i>Basic Operations</i>, <i>Resource Preparation</i>, <i>Interdisciplinary Goal Integration</i>, <i>Content Evaluation</i>, <i>Homework Grading</i>, <i>Ethics</i>, and <i>Emotional Care</i>), which are essential for all pre-service L2 teachers. Based on McClelland's Iceberg Model, these attributes were further organised into four dimensions: <i>Knowledge</i>, <i>Skills</i>, <i>Traits</i>, and <i>Motives</i>. Finally, we discuss the implications of our model and provides directions for future research in GenAI literacy for pre-service L2 teachers.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47585,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Education","volume":"61 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147562919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on critical analysis of existing literature and recent socio-political and educational changes in Hong Kong, it traces the shift from a Western-oriented global citizenship—characterised by neoliberalism, global competitiveness and limited national affiliation—to a form of global citizenship aligned with Chinese characteristics, foregrounding national identity, Chinese cultural heritage and the interests of the Chinese government. This transformation, accelerated since 2020 under the National Security Law, raises critical questions about the marginalisation of local voices and the potential instrumentalization of global citizenship to justify nationalism. The analysis indicates that while Hong Kong's education system increasingly prioritises national over global perspectives, genuine global citizenship with Hong Kong's unique characteristics remains elusive. The paper recommends greater balance in curriculum design, teacher development, assessment and stakeholder engagement to support a more inclusive and context-sensitive vision of global citizenship education in Hong Kong.</p>","PeriodicalId":47585,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Education","volume":"61 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejed.70553","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147562901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
