Abstract
In the context of global integration, there is a growing need for talents who master English, the lingua franca, and excel in English communication. Therefore, an important goal of English teaching is to enhance the students’ ability to communicate in English. After analyzing the ideas and principles of applying virtual scenes based on electronic schoolbag (e-schoolbag), this paper established an e-schoolbag model with several function modules, and created virtual scenes that seamlessly connect with actual scenes. Next, a questionnaire survey was carried out on students’ English communication ability, and virtual scenes were designed based on e-schoolbag for English teaching. Finally, a comparative analysis was conducted to verify if the e-schoolbag-based virtual scenes can improve students’ ability to communicate in English. The results showed that the main problems of English teaching are the lack of diverse teaching methods, the boring teaching contents, and the overemphasis on examination; students are not good at English communication, due to the absence of a suitable linguistic environment; the e-schoolbag-based virtual scenes can provide students with a favorable linguistic environment, arouse their interests in learning English communication, and significantly improve their English communication ability.
Highlights
Language is a tool for people to exchange their ideas and emotions
After the experiment, the average scores and the comprehensive average scores of the test group in English dialogue, English oral composition, and English material reading are all significantly higher than those of the control group, and the scores of the test group after the experiment are significantly higher than the scores of the test group before the experiment, to a certain extent, this verified that the e-schoolbag-based virtual scene English teaching mode had a significant impact on improving the teaching effect of English courses and it had a positive promotive effect on improving students’ English communication ability
This paper applied the e-schoolbag technology to create virtual scenes that seamlessly connect with the real-life language speaking scenarios, and researched the impact of the proposed e-schoolbag-based teaching mode on the improvement of students’ English communication ability
Summary
Language is a tool for people to exchange their ideas and emotions. under the traditional exam-oriented education mode, in China, the cultivation of English communication ability has long been neglected during the English teaching, and the phenomenon of “dumb English” is quite common due to the lack of a good linguistic environment. In France, the e-schoolbag function models were established using the method of virtual collaborative working space, they are mainly used to support group activities, due to the lack of research on the materials and tools, they could not meet the actual teaching requirements, either [4]. Teacher Zhu Zhiting introduced a variety of teaching aids and learning tools to improve the utilization of third-party teaching resources; based on the “service platform + mobile terminal + educational content” pattern, Zhu constructed an e-schoolbag model with comprehensive functions, but it’s not sure whether it can support interaction outside the class [6]. It’s found that the domestic and foreign studies have obtained rich research results on e-schoolbag and its related technologies, but there’re quite a few shortcomings, and there are few research results on the virtual scenes based on eschoolbag technology
