“…For example, in [9], judging from the descriptions in the full text, each of 25 participating students were part of a different global virtual team, therefore, no co-located activities were covered and none are reported. Another example is [44] where it became only apparent after reading the descriptions about the study setup that the participants were in "separate soundproof rooms" [44, p.8] that no co-located portion was investigated. In a similar fashion, we analyzed and discussed the contents of each publication which seemed to be a plausible candidate based on the title and abstract on our mission to find the HCM needles in the haystack.…”

Interest in hybrid collaboration and meetings (HCM), where several co-located participants engage in coordinated work with remote participants, is gaining unprecedented momentum after the rapid shift in working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, while the interest is new, researchers have been exploring HCM phenomena for decades, albeit dispersed across diverse research traditions, using different terms, definitions, and frameworks. In this article, we present a systematic literature review of the contexts and tools of HCM in the ACM Digital Library. We obtained approximately 1,200 results, which were narrowed down to 62 key articles. We report on the terms, citations, venues, authors, domains, study types, and data of these publications and present a taxonomic overview based on their reported hybrid settings' actual characteristics. We discuss why the SLR resulted in a relatively small number of publications, and then as a corollary, discuss how some excluded high-profile publications flesh out the SLR findings to provide important additional concepts. The SLR itself covers the ACM until November 2019, so our discussion also includes relevant 2020 and 2021 publications. The end result is a baseline that researchers and designers can use in shaping the post-COVID-19 future of HCM systems.

“…Firstly, the typical speed of spoken content is seen as excessively quick for beginner language levels. This is an urgent problem as researchers discovered that the speech speed of native speakers corresponds to learners' understanding and faster pace gives more incredible difficulty to comprehend the audio (Duan et al, 2019;Silveira, 2019;Ye & Inoue, 2016;Zhang, 2018). Secondly, the problem which hinders second language learners from comprehending spoken texts is word limitations.…”

Extensive listening is crucial for language development, especially when students' exposure to the target language is not adequate. This study presents how VOA Learning English website is integrated into an English listening classroom as a listening activity outside the class. Data were collected through questionnaires and learners' extensive listening journal weekly entries, seeking to examine students' learning experiences and views on experiencing the website. Thirty undergraduate students participated in this study for 14 weeks. Results indicated that learners were satisfied with their learning experience as they had the chance to select materials that they found suitable and appropriate to their proficiency level and interests. Although the students did not enjoy writing the weekly journal assigned after extensive listening, they discovered that learning from VOA Learning English is convenient and useful in enriching their vocabularies and widening their knowledge of the world.

“…The above scenario reveals the complex influence of language diversity on work communication, and it has been commonly observed among global teams of various linguistic compositions (e.g., [2,32,34,40,44,49]). A long-standing interest of CSCW and HCI scholars is to understand and facilitate global team meetings across language boundaries (e.g., [14,18,25,58,70]). However, there is a significant gap between two lines of existing research:…”

Global teams frequently consist of language-based subgroups who put together complementary information to achieve common goals. Previous research outlines a two-step work communication flow in these teams. There are team meetings using a required common language (i.e., English); in preparation for those meetings, people have subgroup conversations in their native languages. Work communication at team meetings is often less effective than in subgroup conversations. In the current study, we investigate the idea of leveraging machine translation (MT) to facilitate global team meetings. We hypothesize that exchanging subgroup conversation logs before a team meeting offers contextual information that benefits teamwork at the meeting. MT can translate these logs, which enables comprehension at a low cost. To test our hypothesis, we conducted a between-subjects experiment where twenty quartets of participants performed a personnel selection task. Each quartet included two English native speakers (NS) and two non-native speakers (NNS) whose native language was Mandarin. All participants began the task with subgroup conversations in their native languages, then proceeded to team meetings in English. We manipulated the exchange of subgroup conversation logs prior to team meetings: with MT-mediated exchanges versus without. Analysis of participants' subjective experience, task performance, and depth of discussions as reflected through their conversational moves jointly indicates that team meeting quality improved when there were MT-mediated exchanges of subgroup conversation logs as opposed to no exchanges. We conclude with reflections on when and how MT could be applied to enhance global teamwork across a language barrier.
