Description
Summary:This article investigates the use of in-real-time Study with Me streaming sessions as an out-of-class tool for English-language learning among Austrian secondary school students. Taking the form of a multiple-case study, this paper examines how three students utilize Study with Me to support their English-language development. Through semi-structured interviews and member checking, the study explores participants’ motivations, interaction patterns, and learning strategies during Study with Me sessions. Findings reveal a nuanced approach to Study with Me use, emphasizing its role in minimizing distractions, fostering a sense of community, and enhancing self-regulation skills. While participants perceive Study with Me as beneficial primarily for subjects requiring process internalization, they acknowledge only limited utility for English-language learning. The study underscores the need for further research on the efficacy of Study with Me in non-language learning contexts and highlights students’ adaptive learning strategies within an exams-oriented education system.
