Integrating Artificial Intelligence Into English Language Teaching: A Systematic Review
artificial intelligence english language teaching systematic review...
This research aims to systematically review the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in English language teaching and learning. It specifically seeks to analyze the current literature to identify how AI could be utilized in English language classrooms, the specific tools and pedagogical approaches employed, and the challenges faced by educators. Using the PRISMA-guided Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, articles were selected from Scopus, Science Direct, and ERIC, and then analyzed thematically with NVivo software. Findings reveal that AI enhances English teaching through tools like grammar checkers, chatbots, and language learning apps, with writing assistance being the most common application (54.55% of studies). Despite its benefits, challenges such as academic dishonesty, over-reliance on AI (27.27% of studies), linguistic issues, and technical problems remain significant. The study emphasizes the need for ethical considerations and teacher training to maximize AI’s potential. It also highlights societal concerns, including the digital divide, underscoring the importance of equitable access to AI-powered education for learners of all socioeconomic backgrounds.
A Ten-Year Bibliometric Study on Augmented Reality in Mathematical Education
augmented reality bibliometric collaboration mathematical education scopus database...
This study analyzes trends, collaborations, and research developments on augmented reality (AR) in mathematics education using a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database on July 31, 2024, identifying 542 documents published between 2015 and 2024. After screening, 194 journal articles were selected for analysis. Using VOSviewer, the study produced visualizations related to document types, publication trends, journal sources, research subjects, institutions, countries, keywords, and author collaborations. The results show that 88.7% of the documents are journal articles, indicating that this topic is predominantly published in scholarly journals. Publication trends reveal significant growth since 2016, peaking in 2024, reflecting increasing global interest. Education Sciences and IEEE Access are among the top journal sources. Subject-wise, social sciences and computer science are the main disciplines exploring AR in mathematics education. Chitkara University (India) and Johannes Kepler University Linz (Austria) are leading institutions, while the United States, Malaysia, and Spain contribute the most publications. Keyword analysis shows rapid growth in research using terms such as "augmented reality" and "mathematics education," emphasizing the role of immersive technology in enhancing student engagement and conceptual understanding through visual and interactive learning. Influential authors like Lavicza, Mantri, and Haas highlight the importance of global collaboration. Based on a thematic analysis of the most-cited articles, this study proposes the AI Mathematical Education Impact and Outcome Framework. In conclusion, although research on AR in mathematics education has significantly advanced, further studies are needed to evaluate its effectiveness across varied educational contexts.
