    Abstract

    Traditional language teaching has often focused on language in isolation from real-world contexts. However, recognizing the inherent link between language and content, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) emerged some time ago as a global standard (Goris et al., 2019). Over time, CLIL has evolved and diversified to address new challenges. With current concerns about generative artificial intelligence (AI), global politics, and the role of education, enhancing CLIL with innovative methods that cater to local and global needs is vital. Maker Education, which combines hands-on projects with STEAM content (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), is a practical approach to merge action, knowledge, and skill development. Maker Education’s benefits in first language contexts are well-documented, but its application in language learning is still in its nascency. This paper investigates the benefits and drawbacks of integrating Maker Education into CLIL curricula. The results suggest that Maker Education provides linguistic and developmental advantages, complementing CLIL approaches.

    How should we handle generative AI in the classroom? Many educators create policies that restrict or limit its use, which may be effective short-term but overlook the long-term impact on language learners as global digital citizens. Limiting AI to specific activities can lead to misconceptions about its capabilities and limitations. It’s essential to dedicate class time to exploring AI’s true affordances and pitfalls, allowing students to make informed decisions about its use. This paper will outline a 10-lesson unit integrated into 1st and 2nd-year courses across several universities in Japan. The unit introduces students to the current AI landscape, covering the history and inner workings of generative AI, while also teaching effective usage. A final project involves designing a local newspaper using AI, with evaluation focused on reflection and prompt effectiveness rather than the product itself. The unit also addresses ethical issues in employing generative AI.

    Language learning and teaching is under increasing pressure from stakeholders to adapt and evolve in response to changing policies, rapid technological advances, and evolving needs. There is pressure to add more value to language teaching and learning by integrating content and skills instruction. In many contexts, such as schools, community centers, and libraries, a new educational approach, Maker Education, which focuses on learning through constructing hands-on projects, is an effective way of building learner’s skills and content knowledge (Bevan, 2017; Martin, 2015). Researchers have noted Maker Education’s potential for language learning, as it situates language in an immediately relevant context (see Dubreil & Lord, 2021). However, little research has been done on whether the Maker Education approach can maintain its efficacy in English language learning contexts. Accordingly, this paper will explore a Maker Education approach based on core principles derived from established Maker Education frameworks in a Content Language Integrated Learning context. Participants (n = 129) participated in Maker Education activities and immediately reflected on their experiences. The reflections were analyzed for evidence and alignment to the core constructs, showing strong support for Maker Education’s capability to help learners develop skills and competencies even in a language learning environment.

    New technologies often influence the ways in which one shares linguistic experiences. One such technology, Augmented Reality (AR), may initiate concepts used in language learning through digital storytelling. This paper describes an exploratory research project based on Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) AR digital storytelling which investigated how Collaborative Learning (CL) and AR can be used to enhance language learning. Different AR activities were evaluated, culminating in an AR digital storytelling project. Analyses of qualitative data collected after each activity provided insights into important considerations when utilizing AR in the classroom. The findings suggest that learners found considerable value in AR, but also highlighted challenges in its application. CL was key to the success of this project.

    Virtual reality (VR) offers unique opportunities for immersive activities previously not possible in the language classroom. However, as with any new instructional medium, it is difficult to employ these technologies effectively. There is often a gap between teachers' understanding of how to use the technology and the pedagogical needs of the classroom. This chapter introduces the VR Application Analysis Framework. The framework, supported by established theory, assists with the analysis and implementation of commercial off-the-shelf VR applications into language classroom tasks. This chapter explores the history of VR and the background for its potential use in the classroom. The four key aspects of the framework are presented: immersive capacity, cognitive load, purpose, and communicative capability. Four existing VR applications and their accompanying activities are presented as examples of using the framework.

    During the first year of the project, the researchers continued to develop the theoretical foundation of the study. The researchers refined the research instruments that would be used to collect data. The instruments were then piloted by the principal investigator and co-investigators with a group of 154 participants. The data gathered from this pilot study were used to revise the instruments and data collection methods. The collected data, in the form of a linguistic corpus, were analyzed using natural language processing and corpus analysis tools. Additionally, participants were interviewed to gather qualitative data. Participant experiences were collated and published in an internal publication.
