“…Their results indicate that the major effect of second language learning context, supported by the 3D images and symbols in VLE, accounts for the success of students who learn Chinese vocabulary in SL. Moreover, as reported by Hung et al [27], the visual 3D nature of SL can be helpful for English learners to differentiate prepositions such as "under", "above", "in", "out" etc., when describing and locating objects in space. Other studies have also confirmed that SL effectively supports language acquisition by building an immersive learning environment that helps learners easily visualize the learning contents.…”

Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) systems have been widely used in higher education as an effective e-learning platform. With its large user community and virtual facilities in various disciplines, including education, recreation, tourism, business, etc. Second Life (SL) has become one of the most dominant VLE systems for hospitality and tourism training. With better student devices and a faster internet connection, language education in Vietnam recently saw soaring interest in using SL for training, especially in an ESP area like English for hospitality and tourism. However, there is still very little research on the effectiveness of SL VLE for language training in hospitality and tourism. This fifteen-week quasi-experimental study was conducted on two classes (n = 81) in order to investigate the effectiveness of SL VLE for language training in hospitality and tourism with a focus on speaking skills. The instruments included English speaking tests, an attitudinal questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview. The findings of the study indicated that language training activities in SL positively contributed to students' language proficiency progress. Besides, students have positive perceptions about the use of SL VLE in their training. It is recommended that language training programs in hospitality and tourism make more substantial use of virtual restaurants, hotels, resorts, and entertainment places in SL to enrich students' learning experience. Hospitality and tourism training institutions should spend resources on formal SL VLE training for teachers and students and build their SL facilities.

“…According to Hung et al (2018), in traditional classrooms, the teacher's role was to be an expert giving lectures to learners who are considered empty minds that need filling. With the advance of Web 2.0 and social networks, learners have many media channels at their disposal to present their own ideas.…”

The rise in mobile learning has seen an impressive increase as smartphones and tablets have increased in popularity in recent years. The cheap, easy access to these devices for students contributes to the need for use for educational and learning purposes. This trend is no exception for physical education. This study surveyed 125 physical education students in 4 badminton classes from 2018 to 2020 to evaluate their readiness for mobile learning in terms of hardware devices, technology skills, learning styles, and habits. Data coming from questionnaires in the courses and server logs of a mobile learning system show that the majority of physical education students in the study are ready for mobile learning despite some challenges regarding internet infrastructure and lack of formal online learning skills training.

“…Only some of the studies focus on the major lexical categories (Giang & Khuong, 2014;Borovsky & Elman, 2006;Netra, 2016), L2 word order processing (Erdocia & Laka, 2018;Lee, Lu, & Garnsey, 2013;McDonald, 2008;Cat, Klepousniotou, & Baayen, 2015), language skills (Tare & Gelman, 2010;Burchinal, et al, 2000), teaching grammar (Raflis & Lase, 2018;Tian, 2015;Kermer, 2016), but not for a minor lexical group of words such as prepositions or particles. Few cognitive analyses of preposition have been studied so far; However, the field of these researches are mainly focused on language teaching (Wijaya & Ong, 2018;Hung, Vien, & Vu, 2018). That is why the research gap for conceptual transfer is open up at present.…”

English prepositions play a significant role in helping students form a well-structured sentence in their learning and communicating. To help Vietnamese learners of English acquire their competence, the authors have done survey research to investigate the factors affecting the uses of English prepositions made by Vietnamese learners of English. The population included 200 female and 200 male participants. A total of 400 answers on the questions provided in the 100-question questionnaire were used for hypothesis testing. The items in the survey were given different weights, and the total attainable marks were 100. The results showed that Vietnamese intra-lingual interference strongly affected prepositional sense expressed by Vietnamese EFL learners. Genders, level of learning (low, intermediate, and advanced), writing and speaking, and cognitive embodiment also played a significant role in terms of language transfer, affecting the usage of English prepositions by EFL learners.
