Yet, as the review of earlier investigations revealed, few inquiries have been carried out to divulge the pros and cons of leveraging AI in EFL classes. To narrow this gap, using the phenomenological approach, this inquiry investigated the opportunities and challenges of implementing AI in EFL classes from the perspective of Chinese EFL students. To do so, through the criterion sampling technique, a total of 45 EFL students was recruited from different educational institutions in China. To collect the dataset, participants were asked to complete an open-ended questionnaire. For the sake of triangulation, among the 45 participants, 15 were randomly selected to engage in a follow-up interview session. With the aid of MAXQDA software (version 2023), participants’ perceptions of AI opportunities and challenges were carefully analyzed. Overall, the analysis findings uncovered that leveraging AI in EFL classes can bring numerous opportunities for EFL students, including individualized learning, timely and immediate feedback, rich educational resources, and an interactive learning atmosphere. However, as demonstrated by the analysis outcomes, implementing AI in EFL courses may also face students with a range of challenges and problems. The research outcomes would be of great help to teachers and educational leaders in mitigating the challenges of leveraging AI in language classrooms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141444290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results from the structural equation modelling suggested EFL <em>EAP Talk</em> users perceived positively in AI affordances and wiliness to communicate with AI significantly influenced perceived usefulness and satisfaction, which further impacted their intentions to continue the usage. Moreover, the enjoyment they perceived is significantly associated with continuance intention, while the role of innovation was not suggested.

This study introduces the concept of NFT-based customer equity, which is designed to help understand the relationship between NFTs and consumer behavior. To achieve this objective, this study applies the mixed-method approach, in particular, by conducting in-depth interviews to identify key characteristics of NFT attributes that contribute to positive consumer perceptions—scarcity, resaleability, and trendiness—and following up with a survey examining these attributes’ impact on three dimensions of customer equity. Additionally, this study finds a moderating effect of online community engagement in that those who are highly engaged with NFTs in online forums show higher purchase intention. The findings of this research validate the idea that NFTs can create customer equity for consumers that can translate into increased purchase intention and increase the projected lifetime value of a customer.

Study 2 investigated the benefits of a UI widget that displayed the rotation performed in the Virtual Environment (VE). Study 3 evaluated the effects of a simplified configuration of landmarks explored in the VE. Findings across the studies indicated that age was the primary factor influencing performance. Younger participants consistently outperformed older ones across various tasks and reported higher usability and lower workload.

Younger participants rated SPACE above the level of mature products, while older participants found it useable but not always engaging. Critically, the significant interactions between age and experimental conditions indicated that younger and older participants benefited differently from the design modifications.
