• Abstract: Many language learners need to be supported in acquiring a second or foreign language quickly and effectively across learning environments beyond the classroom. The chapter argues that support should focus on the development of two vital learning skills, namely being able to self-regulate and to collaborate effectively in the learning process. We base our argumentation on the theoretical lenses of self-regulated learning (SRL) and collaborative learning in the context of mobile situated learning that can take place in a variety of settings. The chapter examines a sample of selected empirical studies within the field of mobile-assisted language learning with a twofold aim. Firstly, the studies are analyzed in order to understand the role of learner self-regulation and collaboration while acquiring a new language beyond the classroom. Secondly, we aim to provide a deeper understanding of any mechanisms provided to develop or support language learners' self-regulated and collaborative learning skills. Finally, we propose that fostering SRL and collaborative learning skills and strategies will benefit from recent advances in the fields of learning analytics and artificial intelligence, coupled with the use of mobile technologies and self-monitoring mechanisms. The ultimate aim is to enable the provision of individual adaptive learning paths to facilitate language learning beyond the classroom.

  Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) imitate human tutors and aim to provide customized instructions or feedback to learners. With the emergence of generative artificial intelligence, large language models (LLMs) entitle the systems to complex and coherent conversational interactions. We investigate how pedagogical instructions facilitate the scaffolding in ITSs, by conducting a case study on guiding children to describe images for language learning.

  The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of this idea, such that we can enhance learning programming by activating language learning mechanisms. We observed that the training of the artificial language can be easily integrated into our curriculum. However, within the context of our study, we did not find a significant benefit for programming competency when students learned an artificial language first.

  We propose a tailored learning approach to distill such reasoning ability to smaller LMs. We exploit the potential of LLM as a reasoning teacher by building an interactive multi-round learning paradigm. To exploit the reasoning potential of the smaller LM, we propose self-reflection learning to motivate the student to learn from self-made mistakes.

  Long-term goal of machine learning is to learn general visual representations from a small amount of data without supervision. Self-supervised learning and meta-learning are two promising techniques to achieve this goal, but they both only partially capture the advantages. We propose a novel Bootstrapped Meta Self-Supervised Learning framework that aims to simulate the human learning process.

We perform in-context learning distillation under two different few-shot learning paradigms: Meta In-context Tuning (Meta-ICT) and Multitask In-context Tuning (Multitask-ICT) Our experiments and analysis reveal that in-context learning objectives and language modeling objectives are complementary under the Multitask-ICT paradigm.
