Special Issue Call for Proposals

2019-08-13

We are now accepting proposals for a special issue on ''The Effect of Technology-Enhanced Language Learning on ELLs’ Achievement, Motivation, and Engagement''. Specifically, we are interested in research studies that address any of the following questions: 
-How does technology-enhanced language learning affect ELLs' motivation? 
-How does technology-enhanced language learning affect ELLs' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills? 
-How does technology-enhanced language learning affect ELLs' engagement in class activities? 
-How does ELLs' L1 culture affect their attitudes towards technology-enhanced language learning? 
-What are the challenges of technology-enhanced language learning for teachers and students? 
-How do educational policies affect technology-enhanced language learning? 

While we acknowledge the difference between ESL and EFL, we do not aim to target the difference in this special issue. Therefore, studies in both ESL and EFL contexts are welcome. Similarly, the focus of this special issue is not on any specific educational technology; rather, we would like to see how different types of technology affect L2 learning.
