Abstract

Objectives This study aims to investigate the learners' perceptions and practices of English viewing in elementary school, and find educational implications on teaching viewing. Methods For this, a survey was conducted from Nov. 13 to Nov. 16, 2023 to 531 elementary English learners. They were asked 17 questions about perceptions and practices of viewing, as well as their perceptions and practices with English digital textbooks(EDT) in learning viewing. Results The analysis results are as follows. First, most of the students were positive about their viewing ability and attitudes and reported that digital devices helped their viewing. The students used and preferred tablet PC the most, and they used EDT, AI digital learning materials, Youtube for English viewing. More than half of the students engaged in self-directed viewing within 30 minutes or an hour, but teacher-centered viewing lessons were conducted in most classes. Second, the experiences of students in using EDT were limited at home, also student-centered learning using EDT was not conducted in school. Third, Most of students were positive about viewing using EDT, and had high interests and motivation in viewing using EDT. Conclusions For the successful implementation of the 2022 revised national English curriculum, digital devices need to be supplied to every student for learning viewing, and digital device usage training courses will be helpful for their learning. Furthermore, teachers should make an effort to participate in training to teach viewing effectively. In addition, AI EDT should be developed to promote students' self-directed viewing and student-centered viewing lessons.
