Using biometric measures to capture foreign language anxiety
No full text[EN] Despite foreign language anxiety (FLA) being the most extensively researched emotion in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research (Boudreau et al., 2018; Dewey et al., 2018; MacIntyre, 2017; Teimouri et al., 2019), its measurement has largely relied on self-reported surveys that capture only retrospective and subjective perceptions. This article explores an alternative approach to survey-based research by proposing the integration of biometric data to assess FLA objectively and dynamically. Wearable devices that track physiological indicators such as heart rate now allow researchers to more easily capture real-time fluctuations in anxiety as participants engage in foreign language tasks. This paper provides a practical guide for researchers interested in collecting biometric data, including an overview of available devices and methods.Thrasher, T.;Kaplan-Rakowski, R. (2025).

Establishing a VR club for language speaking practice
No full text[EN] Traditional classroom settings, especially with numerous students, are often characterized by an absence of speaking practice opportunities. Emerging technologies such as high-immersion virtual reality (VR) can offer authentic scenarios in which language learners can practice speaking with each other, native speakers, or artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted chatbots in a safe space. This paper reports on an initiative that established a VR club aimed at providing English as a Second Language (ESL) learners with additional speaking practice outside of class time. Thirty ESL students enrolled in the summer session at the Intensive English Language Learning Institute in the United States joined the VR club. The club met twice a week over three weeks—six times total—and gave students the opportunity to practice speaking in English using a VR platform, Immerse. This paper describes the steps taken to establish the VR club and provides practical guidelines, including a description of the necessary resources. Moreover, potential challenges and preliminary lessons derived from the initiative are discussed. This paper serves as a blueprint for language teachers, language centers, and stakeholders wishing to establish VR clubs at their own institutions.Ye, Y.;Thrasher, T.;Kaplan-Rakowski, R. (2025).
