“…Consequently, digital literacy exerts an important impact on learners' ability to carry out their daily adoption of metaverse technologies in a successful way (Hasse, 2017). Digital literacy can be improved by school training instructors and learners (Alvarez-Risco et al, 2022). In addition, an external effect such as institutional support ensures that instructors' and learners' digital literacy can be enhanced smoothly (Balakrishnan, 2017;Shao and Kwon, 2019).…”

“…The metaverse, which provides high immersion through visualization, may cause users to feel socially distant as learners, as it attracts users with the same hobbies and interests to interact and communicate in virtual environments (Fola-Adebayo, 2019). The metaverse may cause a risk of learner isolation, although it creates learner autonomy (Alvarez-Risco et al, 2022). It supports virtual social connection even in the real world, which may lead to social distancing or social alienation (Fola-Adebayo, 2019).…”

“…The metaverse platform developers may pay more attention to designing 3D virtual learning worlds that emphasize emotional achievements, learning support, and the desired learning outcomes (Dalgarno and Lee, 2010;Reisoglu et al, 2017). They can design online applications to enhance supervision over learning behaviors and provide reminders when learners behave improperly (Alvarez-Risco et al, 2022).…”

Over the past two decades, various digital technologies have been applied to sustain higher education. As the latest emerging information technology, the metaverse has been a recurring theme to be considered as a new direction to promote blended English learning. This study aims to investigate metaverse-based blended English learning. Through a systematic review based on bibliographic and content analysis, the study attempts to integrate the evidence to generate a model that links the education-based metaverse. The metaverse platforms in which learners' academic success can be significantly enhanced due to a high degree of learner engagement in immersive virtual environments. In addition, the virtual learning experience is restricted by the degree of digital literacy at the same time. To improve instructors' and learners' digital literacy levels, necessary support is indispensable by educational institutions and designers of the metaverse platforms. Meanwhile, this study addresses potential challenges that may hinder sustaining metaverse-based blended English learning, and provides some suggestions based on the previous literature. In future research, we will keep updating and polishing the metaverse-based blended English learning research to provide more detailed guidance for researchers and educators.

Learning motivation is one of the important factors that ensure the success of language acquisition. Although numerous studies has been done on students' learning motivation, little is known about online learning motivation. Hence, this quantitative study aims to explore students' online learning motivation when learning a language through Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). Data were collected using a survey of 5-point Likert scale given to learners studying languages in a Malaysian public university. The survey consisted of four sections. Section A has 2 items on demographic profile. Section B has 12 items on behavior. Section C has 14 items on personal factors. Section D has 12 items on environmental factors. The respondents were 108 diploma and bachelor degree students. Data analysis was done using SPSS. The findings showed that SCT has a positive impact on students' online learning motivation. All three elements of SCT which are behaviour, personal factors and environmental factors were significant in promoting students' online learning motivation for language learning. Moreover, there are also a strong positive relationship between behaviour and personal factors, a moderate positive relationship between behaviour and environmental factors, and a moderate positive relationship between environmental and personal factors. These findings established that SCT has an important role in cultivating online learning motivation in a language classroom. Teachers can also design their teaching and learning process based on SCT as it is proven to promote students' online learning motivation. Therefore, future studies on SCT can be beneficial towards students' online learning motivation.
