Computers have been used for language teaching since the 1960s (Warschauer & Healey, 1998), and several recent studies suggest that there is still a strong need to experiment with technology and digital tools in both education and language learning (Godwin

The flipped classroom (FC) model has recently gained an increasing interest in higher education. Similarly, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have attracted international attention in the literature. However, a review of previous studies suggests that although a MOOCbased FC model has often been advocated in theory, it has consistently been disregarded in practice. Therefore, the main significance of this study lies in its implementation of a MOOC-based FC model in an English Language Teaching (ELT) program for pre-service English language teachers for the first time in a Turkish context, and also in the literature. Moreover, the study explores pre-service teachers' perceptions of a MOOC-based FC model and its effects on their academic achievement. In this regard, the study provides an exciting opportunity to advance our knowledge of the MOOC-based FC model in teacher education, especially in the field of ELT. The study took place at a state university in Turkey with 27 pre-service English language teachers in the 2019-2020 academic year. The methodological approach adopted in this study was a mixed-methods research design, benefiting from both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. It followed a preexperimental research design, involving the One-Group Pre-test -Posttest Design. A four-week intervention of MOOC-based FC implementation took place between the pre-test and the post-test. Taking the findings of this study into account, some stakeholders, e.g., educators, teacher trainers, policymakers, administrators, and other professionals might consider integrating a MOOC-based FC model into the traditional classroom settings or creating a blended course that incorporates a MOOC into their existing face-to-face programs.

This qualitative study explored pre-service English language teachers' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control beliefs regarding their intentions to use augmented reality (AR) technology for their future language classes. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews (n=15) and retrospective reflection papers (n=55) from two groups of pre-service English language teachers in a state and foundation university in Istanbul, Turkey. In development of the interview questions and analysis of the data, the authors utilized decomposed theory of planned behavior as their research framework. Findings revealed that participants intend to use AR in their future classes due to its perceived usefulness, student influence, and perceived ease of use. Additionally, they also reported their views on affordances and drawbacks of augmented reality technology for language learning and teaching purposes. Furthermore, the findings portrayed that new technologies such as AR can be adopted by pre-service teachers once they are given an opportunity to experience.

In this journal, research articles which reflect the survey with the results and translations that can be considered as a high scientific quality, scientific observation and review articles are published. Teachers, students and scientists who conduct research to the field (e.g. articles on pure sciences or social sciences, mathematics and technology) and in relevant sections of field education (e.g. articles on science education, social science education, mathematics education and technology education) in the education faculties are target group. In this journal, the target group can benefit from qualified scientific studies are published. The publication languages are English and Turkish.
