互动电子书在英语教育中的潜力与挑战——基于2021~2023年实证研究结果的分析
|
Abstract:
随着技术的不断进步，互动电子书在英语教育中的应用日益普及。在过去的研究中，学者们综合分析了互动电子书的研究趋势。然而，针对互动电子书在英语等特定学科领域的有效性却鲜有探讨。因此，本研究着眼于互动电子书作为一种便捷的英语教育工具展开分析。首先，本研究筛选出2021~2023年期间15份高水平的文章，并根据本文所开发的编码方案解答五个研究问题：1) 近阶段融入互动电子书的英语课堂研究中，采用了哪些研究方法和学习策略？2) 运用于英语课堂的互动电子书一般的设计特点是什么？3) 融入互动电子书的英语课堂，学习者一般是何种教育环境、教育背景、参与者角色、学习场景？4) 在选定的融入互动电子书的英语学科研究中，重点关注哪些方面？研究议题是什么？5) 在英语课堂上使用互动电子书作为教育工具的潜在好处和局限性有哪些？本文认为，互动电子书在英语课堂上是一种宝贵的学习工具，但它在实际教学和技术配置方面也面临一些挑战。
With the continuous progress of technology, the application of interactive e-books in English education has become increasingly popular. In past studies, scholars have analyzed the research trends of interactive e-books. However, little has been done to address the effectiveness of interactive e-books in specific subject areas such as English. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing interactive e-books as a convenient tool for English education. First, this study screened 15 high-level articles for the period 2021~2023 and answered five research questions based on the coding scheme developed in this paper: 1) What research methodologies and learning strategies have been used in recent studies of English classrooms incorporating interactive e-books? 2) What are the general design features of interactive e-books utilized in English classrooms? 3) What kind of educational settings, educational backgrounds, participant roles, and learning scenarios do learners typically have in an English classroom that incorporates interactive e-books? 4) What are the areas of focus in the selected research on English subjects incorporating interactive e-books? What are the research topics? 5) What are the potential benefits and limitations of using interactive e-books as an educational tool in the English classroom? This paper argues that interactive e-books can be a valuable learning tool in the English classroom, but it faces some challenges in terms of practical pedagogical and technological configurations.
