摘要:The outbreak of COVID-19 generated an unprecedented global push towards remote online language teaching and learning. In most contexts, language teachers and learners underwent a rapid switch to online instruction with limited resources and preparation. Their experiences demonstrate resilience, perseverance, and creativity under highly challenging conditions. This collection of studies examines the challenges that language teachers and learners have experienced in teaching and learning online, explores how they have addressed these challenges, and identifies critical lessons to help language educators better respond to emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic. In this introductory article, we discuss the background of this special collection on teaching and learning languages online, provide a review of the growing body of research on online language education in the field, and introduce the studies published in the collection.

论文:Gao, Y. & Cui, Y. 2022. English as a foreign language teachers’ pedagogical beliefs about teacher roles and their agentic actions amid and after COVID-19: A case study. RELC Journal 53(1), 1-17.
摘要:The COVID-19 outbreak has seen the largest-scale emergency remote teaching in world history. Drawing on concepts of teacher belief and teacher agency, this study seeks to explore whether teachers’ beliefs about teacher roles may influence their agentive use of online technology amid and after COVID-19. By tracing four English as a Foreign Language teacher participants in both an emergency remote teaching context and a resumed face-to-face classroom setting, our study reveals a complex relationship between teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and their online teaching practices. This study highlights the role of teacher agency and calls for a closer examination of the complexity of teacher roles to better understand teachers’ agentive technology integration in teaching. The study bears significance for educational technology development and teacher education for emergency remote teaching in the post-pandemic era.

论文:He, X. (S.). & Loewen, S. 2022. Stimulating learner engagement in app-based L2 vocabulary self-study: Goals and feedback for effective L2 pedagogy. System 105, 102719.
摘要:Despite its increasing popularity, application-based (app-based) second language (L2) learning faces the persistent issue of low learner engagement. This study explored app-based L2 vocabulary self-study as a course assignment by drawing on Mercer and Dörnyei’s (2020) latest proposal of goal-setting with feedback for stimulating learner engagement and motivation. We adopted a quasi-experimental design that consisted of a treatment group who completed goal-setting-and-checking activities (n = 32) and a control group who did not (n = 31), and compared learner engagement as indexed by the number of words studied weekly and L2 skill development as assessed by TOEIC scores before and after app use. Ratings and comments were also collected from the treatment group on goal-setting-and-checking activities and from both groups on two supplementary feedback tools, Unfinished Lists (lists of students who did not finish app-based self-study assignments) and leaderboards (student rankings based on assignment performance). Quantitative results showed the treatment group studied more words than the control group, although TOEIC scores did not differ between or change within groups significantly. Quantitative ratings and qualitative comments supported overall positive effects of these three pedagogical interventions. Practical suggestions are provided to guide L2 instructors to adapt these pedagogical interventions into their teaching.
