For this week, I read Salmanov's article. The ideas are creative and innovative. 

Azar, A. S., & Tan, N. H. I. (2020). The application of ICT techs (mobile-assisted language learning, gamification, and virtual reality) in teaching English for secondary school students in Malaysia during COVID-19 pandemic, Universal Journal of Educational Research, 8(11C), 55–63.

The article mentioned that integrating AI and gamification into language education is a highlt innovative method compared to the traditional one.  AI platform and applications are introducing points, rewards and competitions into the learner's linguistic learning process so that they can practice language when they are not under the guidance from AI. With the continuous development of related technologies, the gamified learning method is gradually becoming one of the most important methods for improving foreign language learning efficiency.

Ahmed Fadhil & Adolfo Villafiorita (2017). An Adaptive Learning with Gamification & Conversational UIs: The Rise of CiboPoliBot. Adjunct Publication of the 25th Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization.

This article focuses on the point of how AI-based gamification of studying promotes positive participation by providing rewards like medals and progress tracking. It changed the language study in some extent. Those mechanism could provide a sense of achievement, to promote the learners participate in studying more frequently and more enduringly. And this kind of personalized is especially good for the learners who study alone, just to fix up the blank of outside motivation.

New trends in second language learning and teaching through the lens of ICT, networked learning, and artificial intelligence. In C. Fernández Juncal & N. Hernández Muñoz (Eds.), Vías de transformación en la enseñanza de lenguas con mediación tecnológica, Círculo de Lingüística Aplicada a la Comunicación, 76, 13–30.

But when mentioning the possible shortcomings of this pattern, it might lack the handling of spontaneous conversations. Different from AI bots, human communications are closely related to emotional reactions and extemporaneous speeches. So, it is not appropriate to only use AI tools for language learning, we must develop our understanding of the second language while taking part in communication activities in real contexts.

Annotated Bibliography 2026.01.15

Yu Borui         2026.01.15 Annotated Bibliography In this assignment, I mainly focus on the technological learning methods and the digital literacy of digital natives. Prensky, M. (2001). Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants . On the Horizon , 9(5) October 2001 Prensky wrote about and popularised the idea of a generation of "Digital Natives". He argued that the digital natives/the net generation/millennials are seasoned users of technology who are innately or inherently tech savvy, and that they behave and think differently because of their use of technology. Technology can shape one's way of thinking, and that directly leads to changes of one's learning styles. Warschauer, M. (1996). Motivational aspects of using computers for writing and communication. In M. Warschauer (Ed.), Telecollaboration in Foreign Language Learning (pp. 29–46) . University of Hawai‘i Second Language Teaching & Curriculum Center. Warschauer's findings are significant. Based on his r...

Yu Borui Annotated Bibliography 2026.02.05 For this week's reading, I mainly focused on New perspectives of L2 acquisition related to human-computer interaction (HCI) written by Meunier.  According to Song et al., while voice-activated AI assistants are highly effective at processing spoken commands from native speakers, they are far less effective when the commands are given by second-language speakers. The accuracy for a second language learner is approximately 55 percent whereas the one for a native speaker rise to around 98 percent. Despite functional fluency in a second language, subtle but significant pronunciation difficulties may persist, impacting human-computer cognition. However, this also proves that speech AI can also serve as a teaching tool for learning and improving second language pronunciation. This is because that AI assistant will give a synchronal feedback when the learner provides a linguistic practice, whether it is positive or negative, t...

Annotated Bibliography 2026.02.14 Yu Borui For this week's reading, I mainly focused on Chen et al.'s article, t his article introduced the application of AI technologies in second language learning.  The author emphasizes the importance of balancing AI with traditional teaching methods and using these tools responsibly in language education. Lai, C., & Gu, M. (2011). Self-regulated out-of-class language learning with technology. Computer Assisted Language Learning, 24(4), 317–335. Lai and Gu mentioned the importance of t eachers actively encourage and guide students to use technology outside the classroom to enhance their language learning. Teachers' support is in various forms, including sharing useful technical and resource information and providing instruction. In other words, the role of the teacher is a "facilitator", not a simple knowledge lecturer. It is also worth mentioning that the scholars believe that the key goal is that teachers should conscious...
