Cultural immersion and AI-supported instruction: international students' Chinese as a foreign language enjoyment.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: While Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) has been widely investigated in English learning, Chinese as a Foreign Language Enjoyment (CFLE) remains underexplored, particularly in AI-supported culturally immersive contexts. Guided by Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study examines how an AI-supported immersive Chinese culture course contributes to learners' psychological needs and the experience of CFLE among international students in China. Methods: A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was used. Eighty-two international students joined the study completing a 40-item questionnaire assessing teacher-, learner-, and environment-related CFLE. Reliability and validity analyses, descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation analyses were performed. Eight participants completed semi-structured interviews, and the interview data were analyzed thematically. Results: Participants reported moderately high levels of CFLE ( Discussion: Interpreted through SDT, CFLE appeared to surface in learner's reported accounts when cultural immersion and AI-supported instruction was perceived as jointly satisfying learners' needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The findings advance CFLE research and suggest implications for the design of AI-supported immersive CFL learning environments.
