“…Given the positive impact of peer support on academic performance, the direct and indirect effects of peer support on academic performance have been extensively explored (Bergey et al, 2019;Kaynak & Kaynak, 2023;Wang et al, 2019). For example, in a study with middle grades students, Kaynak and Kaynak (2023) documented that motivation fully mediated the association between peer support and academic achievement. However, the prior studies ignored the domain specificity of peer support (Leung et al, 2013), and research on peer support in the EFL education context needed to be improved.…”

For secondary school students, peer support is an essential component of social support, which might significantly influence their academic achievement. However, the mediating mechanism between peer support and academic achievement needs to be further explored, especially in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). The present study explored the relationship between peer support, foreign language (FL) self-concept, and EFL achievement based on the data of 499 Chinese secondary EFL learners. Structural equation modelling (SEM) and mediation analysis results demonstrated that peer support positively affected EFL achievement. FL self-concept fully mediated the relationship between peer support and EFL achievement after controlling for gender and age. The direction and strength of the mediating effect of FL self-concept between peer support and EFL achievement clarify the complex relationship between peer support and EFL achievement and helps EFL teachers and educators take intervention measures. Implications, limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

“…Shared goals and a sense of responsibility will avoid distractions (Ho et al, 2022). In addition, through CL, students collaborate with others to complete learning tasks, solve problems, and share knowledge and experience, which addresses isolation (Kaynak et al, 2023). Finally, CL provides opportunities for communication and creates a language environment for students to practise oral English through group activities.…”

As globalization continues to grow, there is an increasing need for skilled interpreters. However, the interpreting skills of many students are still deficient: firstly, they are incapable of understanding the source language clearly; secondly, they are incapable of expressing standard English accurately. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how mobile-assisted collaborative language learning (MACLL) can help English as a foreign language (EFL) students improve their interpreting competence and motivation. The study used a quantitative methodology and involved a sample of 60 students from one university. Their performance was monitored over a semester. To facilitate MACLL, mobile technologies such as Chaoxing App, iFlytek Input, and Praat were used as teaching tools. The results showed that MACLL had a positive effect on the improvement of students' interpreting competence, as evidenced by their improvement in academic performance and acquisition of language knowledge. The research also showed that students' learning motivation was enhanced in the MACLL environment.
