“…In the same line, and considering that emotional factors were topics of analysis throughout the four stages, Farrell (2020) points to the fact that e-portfolios allow students to evidence not only academic issues in their lives but anything that has an impact on them is subject of analysis. Similarly, Chao (2022) states that digital tools are part of everyday life and can be used to plan robust learning experiences. This longitudinal study aimed at exploring pre-service teachers' identity formation during their transition to becoming EFL teachers using the e-portfolios they elaborated during their four-year teacher-training program as the main data collection instrument.…”

Pre-service teacher identity has gained relevance in teacher formation programs. The purpose of the study focuses on the exploration of EFL pre-service teacher identity formation during the transition to becoming EFL teachers in a four-year teacher-training program. A mixed methodological approach was used collecting data from the students' reflective self-assessments uploaded in their e-portfolio for four years and a survey at the end of the program. Grounded theory was used to analyze the qualitative data and a statistical descriptive approach for quantitative data. Results show four stages along this identity process: support, discourage, adaptation, and selfreflection mixed with emotions.

“…However, prior to the widespread availability of AI chatbots like ChatGPT, access to such technology was limited, and there remains a lack of understanding about how Chat-GPT is perceived and used by early adopters in the field of education and learning. Content creators who facilitate learning on YouTube are often deemed digital pioneers (Chao 2022;Zavyalova and Galvin 2022). As such, they may play a key role in shaping the ways in which the newly emerging learning tools are perceived and used.…”

Since late 2022, dozens of YouTube channels focusing on a diverse array of topics related to language learning with generative AI tools such as ChatGPT have rapidly emerged. This study explores the implementations and perspectives of YouTube content creators who now constitute an increasingly important segment of the ecosystem of language teaching and learning. A mixed methods netnographic approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. A total of 140 videos were identified and analyzed, and an in-depth content analysis was conducted to uncover underlying themes. Four main categories of creators were identified: educators, learners, technology professionals, and e-learning providers. Educators, especially English and Japanese teachers, were the majority, followed by learners and technology field professionals. This study highlights the benefits, drawbacks, and concerns associated with the integration of AI tools in language learning. By examining this rapidly evolving phenomenon, the study contributes towards an understanding of the role and impact of generative AI tools in language education.

“…Second, it motivates students to enhance their English skills as they feel motivated when engaging with people from different cultures and backgrounds (Frieson et al, 2023). Social media is invaluable for allowing students to establish a community of practice beyond their relationships in the classroom (Chao, 2022;Rajendram & Shi, 2022).…”

This study aims to explore the problems encountered by EFL secondary students in learning speaking skills in the context of Islamic schools in Indonesia. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method and used observation, interview, and questionnaire as data collection instruments. The findings revealed that the problems encountered by students in speaking skills can be categorized into fourgroups: language problems, mental problems, personal problems, and education problems. Language problems included mother tongue interference, poor pronunciation, poor grammar, unnatural spoken English, slow speech, and limited vocabulary. Mental problems included nervousness, shame, low confidence, and lack of ideas. Personal problems consisted of attitude, laziness, environmental effects, and cultural gaps. Finally, education problems included the technique and method of teaching, facilities in teaching-learning, and limited use of media. The results of the study underscore the importance of speaking instruction for EFL learners and the need for teachers and researchers to consider language learners' speaking needs in the context of teaching and learning English. This study contributes to the ongoing discussion on EFL speaking instruction and provides implications for teachers and researchers in designing effective language teaching programs.
