Special issue information:
This special issue attempts to provide insights into the opportunities, challenges, and ethical considerations associated with the implementation of GenAI in L2 learning and teaching. The scope of this special issue will include but not be limited to the following aspects.
Opportunities:
The SI will examine the potential opportunities offered by GenAI in L2 learning and teaching. This includes exploring 1) how GenAI can enhance language acquisition by providing personalized and adaptive learning experiences; 2) the potential of GenAI to facilitate language production and performance; and 3) the role of GenAI in empowering L2 learning and teaching, such as through enhanced positive psychology and refined interactive and immersive learning environments.
Challenges:
The SI will delve into the challenges and limitations of integrating GenAI in L2 learning and teaching. This includes investigating 1) the technical challenges associated with the development and implementation of GenAI tools, such as ensuring accuracy, reliability, and adaptability; 2) the pedagogical challenges of incorporating GenAI in instructional practices from engagement, technology acceptance, and technology adoption lenses; and 3) the potential issues related to equity and access to ensure that GenAI is inclusive and beneficial for all stakeholders.
Ethical Considerations:
The SI will critically examine the ethical considerations stemming from the use of GenAI in L2 learning and teaching. This includes 1) how to seek a balance between GenAI-driven instruction and the essential role of human educators; 2) how to use GenAI tools responsibly, with a focus on the well-being and educational benefit of L2 learners; and 3) how to ensure fairness in language education in the era of GenAI.

System的CAR指数
2023年3月份科睿唯安官方一次性踢除35本SCI期刊，多数涉及学术诚信问题，让我们意识到学术期刊的“被踢”指数，也很重要。目前，对于期刊的“被踢”指数，这里介绍一下：CAR指数（关于CAR的详细介绍，请关注：www.jcarindex.com），这是一种评价期刊学术诚信风险的指数，指数越高代表可能的风险越大。从数据看，System不管是2022年度，还是2023年度的CAR指数，都是比较低的。当然，CAR指数仅供参考，期刊风险情况，需以科睿唯安或中科院预警等官方为准！
