Abstract The advancement of information technologies has led to increased attention AI chatbots as valuable tools for computer-assisted language learning (CALL), drawing the both academic scholars and industry practitioners. However, there remains limited understanding regarding adoption chatbots, specifically within context English language. To address this existing research gap examine perception motivation usage ChatGPT, employed hedonic system model (HMSAM) ChatGPT. Employing structural equation modelling (SEM), a comprehensive investigation was conducted using data sourced from 189 valid responses obtained through an online survey administered Chinese international students who are currently enrolled in British universities. findings reveal that effectively elucidates elements influencing ChatGPT learning. Notably, boredom, joy, focused immersion, control emerged significant mediating factors pertaining link between perceived ease use behavioural intention. These offer meaningful perspectives upcoming researchers practitioners teaching learning, contributing promoting innovation domain.

Artificial intelligence generates vibrant characters, encompassing teachers, peer students, and advisors within diverse educational media. However, the impact of perceived embodiment such characters in language learning videos on students' technology acceptance adoption is unclear. Integrating structural equation modeling into thematic analysis, this study analyzes 1042 valid responses from higher education students to bridge research gap. Our reveals that four subdimensions (human-likeness, credibility, facilitation, engagement) significantly positively predict higher-education ease use usefulness artificial intelligence-generated virtual teachers videos. Notably, an exception arises, as human-likeness does not our context. Students' systemic interactivity process emerge pivotal mediators. The qualitative analysis identifies concerns about classroom administration, developmental support, technical issues, deprived interpersonal collaboration, liberal attainment cultivation with teacher presence.

Since the outbreak of pandemic, many students have been forced to receive education assisted by augmented reality technologies at home. To investigate effects on educational outcomes, researchers conducted a meta-analysis using Stata/MP 14.0. The results suggested that reality-assisted significantly improved learner attitudes towards and learning achievements when compared non-augmented education. However, study failed identify any significant differences in motivation levels between models. Several potential reasons were explored account for this unexpected finding. Future research should consider more comprehensive influencing factors such as styles personality determine effect outcomes.
