With the burgeoning popularity and swift advancements of automated writing evaluation (AWE) systems in language classrooms, scholarly and practical interest in this area has noticeably increased. This systematic review aims to comprehensively investigate current research on three prominent AWE systems: Grammarly, Pigai, and Criterion. Objectives…

Purpose: ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology that can solve multiple complex tasks. ChatGPT-4 can facilitate educational empowerment in China through technology to understand and generate Chinese text. Although ChatGPT's benefits have been widely discussed, its educational capabilities have not been systematically…

With the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically generative AI and large language models (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini), into education, there is a conversation regarding what knowledge teachers still need and will need moving forward. In this article, we describe how AI can, and should, be aligned to the Technological…

The release of ChatGPT has marked the dawn of a new information revolution that will transform how people communicate and make meaning. However, to date, little is known about the implications of ChatGPT for L2 composition instruction. To address this gap, the present study uses a systematic review design to synthesize available research on the…

This study explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically GPT-4, in analysing classroom dialogue--a key task for teaching diagnosis and quality improvement. Traditional qualitative methods are both knowledge- and labour-intensive. This research investigates the potential of LLMs to streamline and enhance this process. Using…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots are increasingly becoming integral components of the digital learning ecosystem. As AI technologies continue to evolve, it is crucial to understand the factors influencing their adoption and use among students in higher education. This study is undertaken against this backdrop to explore the behavioral…

Online assessment is an essential part of online education, and if conducted properly, has been found to effectively gauge student learning. Generally, textbased questions have been the cornerstone of online assessment. Recently, however, the emergence of generative artificial intelligence has added a significant challenge to the integrity of…

The use of artificial intelligence tools is currently increasingly common, causing changes in teaching-learning processes, generating debates in the educational sector about its utility. Proving to have benefits and advantages, however, there are still gaps in how artificial intelligence tools should be used in education. This research aims to…

This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools within the School of Arts at a private university in Latin America, focusing on student perceptions and emotional reactions. The research addresses two primary questions: how students perceive the integration of AI tools in their educational experience, and how…

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into web-based individual formative e-assessments in higher education is a nascent field that warrants further exploration. This study investigated the use of GenAI within an 8-week undergraduate-level research methods course at a university in the United States of America, aiming to…

This paper responds to the prevalent discourse on the 'lack of English proficiency' among EMI teachers in contexts where English is used as an additional language. It explores how AI-powered tools, particularly ChatGPT, enable EMI teachers in Taiwan to leverage their expertise and teach in English with more confidence. This study first describes…

Manually scoring and revising student essays has long been a time-consuming task for educators. With the rise of natural language processing techniques, automated essay scoring (AES) and automated essay revising (AER) have emerged to alleviate this burden. However, current AES and AER models require large amounts of training data and lack…

Decades of psycholinguistics research have shown that human sentence processing is highly incremental and predictive. This has provided evidence for expectation-based theories of sentence processing, which posit that the processing difficulty of linguistic material is modulated by its probability in context. However, these theories do not make…

This systematic review explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in enhancing intercultural communication competence (ICC) at the university level. As AI increasingly integrates into educational settings, its potential to revolutionize student learning and cultural…

This paper explores the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) feedback into higher education. Specifically, it examines the views of 11 experienced instructors on fine-tuned GenAI formative feedback of student works in an online graduate program in the United States. The participants assessed sample GenAI reviews, and their…
