The present study aims to investigate the effect of Facebook discussion on EFL learners' metacognitive strategy application. Various language learning strategies suggested in many studies have a positive and significant influence on learners' academic accomplishment. However, there is little research on how to promote the learners' learning strategy applications through the assistance of social networking. Social networking has been drawing huge attention in different research fields. Especially in higher education, it has been applied to promote learning, interaction, and engagement. Thus, in this study, 83 EFL college learners are recruited to participate in the Facebook discussion for the purpose of examining whether learning contexts would have an influence on learners' strategy applications, especially the metacognitive strategies. After a semester's study, the participants in the Facebook discussion group reported to apply more metacognitive strategies and most of them have positive attitudes towards the Facebook-assisted discussion.

This study described and examined on the current English language learning strategies used by Indonesian Students English Education Department enrolled at State Islamic University of Sultan SyarifKasim Riau in Indonesia. The subjects of the study were (99) male and female students still studying for their Undergraduate degree in English Education Department. The study investigates the frequency of strategies use among these students according to gender and proficiency variables. Proficiency is reflected by students’ learning level (i.e., sophomore, junior, senior), self-reported proficiency in English (i.e., the students’ university average in English courses) and language self-efficacy (i.e,. how good the students perceived themselves as English learners). The collecting data used Questionnaire adopted from Oxford (1990a), Mohammad Amin Embi (1996) danPolitzer (1993), interview lecturers about the language learning strategies used by students. The results of this study showed that State Islamic University of Sultan SyarifKasim, English Education Department used learning strategies with high to medium frequency, and that the highest rank (79.6%) was for Metacognitive strategies while the lowest (63%) was for compensation strategies and the others used cognitive, memory, affective and social. In general, the results showed that gender and proficiency had no significant differences on the use of strategies. Based on these findings, the researcher recommends that more training should be given in using Cognitive, Memory, Affective, social and Compensation strategies by embedding them into regular classroom activities or teaching and learning process

Objectives: On the basis of the statistics offered by World Health Organization annually, there are about 3 million people who die from smoking. Tobacco products have been produced and advertised in a large variety of ways, although the evidence on their safety and smoking cessation benefits is uncertain. So is the electronic cigarette. Active tobacco control measures should be taken. Public service tobacco control advertising plays an important role in tobacco control. In contemporary society, multimedia network technology has been widely used in the education industry, and the combination of internet and education has been increasingly significant. Methods: This inevitability is due to the fact because the traditional teaching method can no longer meet the needs of the education, the combination of internet and education has the inevitability. In this research, we will explore the English teaching method in multimedia environment to build a new ecological system of “artificial intelligence + writing education” in English Writing Teaching of tobacco control theme public welfare in multimedia environment. The field of writing in language education is a major challenge for artificial intelligence, especially writing assessment. In traditional English writing teaching, the emphasis of score evaluation is more common, and the assessment method is relatively simple. Achievement assessment, as an important part of teaching mode, plays an increasingly important role in improving the subjective initiative and ability. In addition to the traditional methods of literature research, questionnaire survey and case analysis, the research method based on design is also adopted to help learners establish effective learning strategies by carrying out reasonable functional design according to learners’ learning needs. Results: This study will have a really important impact on the language learning of Chinese English learners, and provide a new learning environment that will be more convenient and effective for learners. Conclusion: It is a useful attempt for artificial intelligence to spread widely in the field of human knowledge transmission.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are expanding the scope of online distance learning in the creation of a cross-country global learning environment. For learners worldwide, MOOCs offer a wealth of online learning resources. However, such a diversified environment makes the learning process complicated and challenging. To achieve their objectives, learners need to adapt regulation strategies based on different situations in the process, which is called self-regulated learning. Previous research findings emphasize that self-efficacy is one of the key factors that influences self-regulated learning. Currently MOOCs are primarily offered in English, but many students are non-native English speakers. For these learners, English serves as a cross-language and cross-cultural communication medium, and English self-efficacy is a defining element affecting this language application. To further examine the impact of English self-efficacy on self-regulated learning, this study uses non-native English learners in MOOCs as test subjects. It is evident that there is a positive and significant correlation between non-English learners' self-efficacy and self-regulated learning in MOOCs; the higher the English self-efficacy, the better use of self-regulated learning strategies. This study aims to offer some insight into self-regulated learning strategies of non-native English speakers taking MOOCs, so relevant instructors can subsequently provide more suitable and effective learning methods.
