The Impact of Teacher Feedback on Student Interaction Based on A Case Study in China

Teacher feedback plays a significant role in English teaching. Effective teacher feedback can not only enhance students' enthusiasm and motivation for learning but also improve their language skills and ability to think critically. This study analyzes data from classroom observations of the four teachers and their four English classes, attempting to explore the impact of teacher feedback on student interaction. A few instances of the usage of teacher feedback in Chinese college English classrooms are compiled in this study. The author suggests that teachers employ feedback language in the following three ways, based on the findings of the research: First and foremost, educators need to be aware of how much language is used in feedback. Second, educators should work to raise their own standards and employ a variety of feedback language in a flexible manner. Thirdly, input from teachers ought to be varied and not overly straightforward. In the future, incorporating these strategies into pedagogical practice may completely transform English instruction in Chinese universities, creating a more engaging and dynamic learning environment that not only gets students ready for success in the classroom but also gives them the critical thinking abilities they need to thrive in the increasingly interconnected world.

Toward Domain Adaptive Learning-Based Variation Autoencoder Emotional Analysis in English Teaching

Speech emotion analysis plays an important role in English teaching by analyzing the reading state of students. Teachers can dynamically adjust the teaching content according to the emotional feedback of students and improve the teaching quality of the school. Due to unstable student emotions and background noise, the accuracy of speech emotion recognition is constrained. Although multimodal data can alleviate the deficiency of a single modality, collecting and annotating multimodal samples requires a significant amount of resources. To resolve this issue, this paper proposes a novel multimodal sentiment analysis framework based on domain adaptive learning mechanisms to assist English teaching. We construct a novel multi-task variation autoencoder framework in which we simultaneously complete reconstruction and classification tasks. To improve speech emotion recognition performance, we introduce domain adaptive learning based on the Wasserstein distance between two variational hidden layers from the video domain (source domain) and speech domain (target domain). To validate the effectiveness of our proposed model, we conducted extensive comparative experiments on two public datasets and a self-built English oral dataset. All experimental results indicate that domain adaptation learning mechanisms can effectively improve the recognition performance of the target domain. On the self-built dataset for English teaching, the proposed model achieves higher performance compared to other deep models.

An Action Research on English Reading Compensatory Teaching Based on the Diagnostic Assessment of "Youzhenxue" (University Edition)

Numerous studies have shown that diagnostic assessment plays a certain backwash role in English teaching, and the results of diagnostic assessment are used as the basis for subsequent compensatory teaching design. "Youzhenxue" (University Edition) is a language assessment platform that provides targeted diagnostic assessment results for English reading assessment. This paper explores the effectiveness of English reading compensatory teaching based on the diagnostic assessment results of "Youzhenxue" using a mixed research method. It is found that compensatory teaching focusing solely on the weaknesses of reading micro-skills identified in the assessment has limited effect on improving reading proficiency.

Application of Multimedia Technology in Teaching English in Colleges and Universities

Multimedia plays a crucial role in English teaching by enhancing engagement, providing diverse learning experiences, and catering to different learning styles. English teaching through multimedia, while beneficial, presents challenges. Unequal access to technology and the digital divide can hinder some students' participation. Ensuring digital literacy and quality content selection is crucial to effective use. This paper proposed the Hidden Markov Model for English Teaching (HMM-ET) to improve the performance of college and university students. The proposed HMM-ET model computes the Markov chain of English teaching through multimedia technology. With the implementation of multimedia technology, the HMM model estimates the performance of students in colleges and universities. Through the estimation of HMM-ET the classification of students' performance in English learning is computed with the machine learning model. The performance of the students is examined comparatively with the conventional Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest. Through analysis of a dataset comprising observation sequences reflecting English learning tasks, HMM-ET consistently outperforms SVM and Random Forest, achieving an average accuracy of 96%, while SVM and Random Forest attain accuracies of 90% and 88% respectively.

Research on Teaching of Reading Based on Krashen s Input Hypothesis in Senior High Schools

It is well known that reading teaching plays a vital role in English teaching in high schools, because it can not only improve students cultural literacy, but also promote their development of other language skills. According to the requirements of New Curriculum Standard of the Ministry of Education, students should have read more than 200, 000 English words before graduating from high schools. However, in traditional teaching mode, the teacher s teaching and the student s learning are not closely connected, so students reading ability can hardly be improved. Based on this phenomenon, the paper combines Input Hypothesis with English reading teaching in senior high schools, which aims to raise students reading interest and improve their reading ability, so that English reading teaching can be promoted at the same time. In this paper, the current problems in high school English reading are found out. To address the problems, the author gives some suggestions according to Krashen s Input Hypothesis, including teaching of various reading strategies and application of comprehensibility , relevance and interest , not grammatically sequenced and sufficient quantity principle. It is hoped that the advice can provide reference and guidance for English reading teaching in senior high schools.

Research on the application of English short essay reading emotional analysis in online English teaching under IoT scenario

AbstractSpeech‐emotion analysis plays an important role in English teaching. The existing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can fully explore the spatial features of speech information, and cannot effectively utilize the temporal dependence of speech signals. In addition, it is difficult to build a more efficient and robust sentiment analysis system by solely utilizing speech information. With the development of the Internet of Things (IoTs), online multimodal information, including speech, video, and text, has become more convenient. To this end, this paper proposes a novel multimodal fusion emotion analysis system. Firstly, by combining convolutional networks with Transformer encoders, the spatiotemporal dependencies of speech information are effectively utilized. To improve multimodal information fusion, we introduce the exchange‐based fusion mechanism. The experimental results on the public dataset indicate that the proposed multimodal fusion model achieves the best performance. In online English teaching, teachers can effectively improve the quality of teaching by leveraging the feedback information of students' emotional states through our proposed deep model.

Analyzing Patterns of Classroom Interaction In An Elementary English Online Teaching and Learning Processes

Interaction plays a pivotal role in English teaching and learning processes. The patterns of interactions in classroom activities highly influence the success of the teaching-learning process. This study aimed to describe the classroom interaction patterns in an online teaching and learning process through a qualitative approach using the Flanders' Interaction Analysis System (FIAS). This study is focused on the young learner classroom interaction at the elementary school level. An English online class was observed and recorded to collect the data. The data were confirmed by interviewing the English teacher. The findings revealed that the dominant patterns of interaction that emerged in the online teaching and learning processes were asking questions (Teacher's Talk) and giving responses (Students' Talk). The patterns of interaction were produced from teacher and student(s) and student(s) and student(s) interactions concerning the teacher talk and the students' talk categories used in the online teaching and learning activities. By understanding classroom interaction patterns, the results can be worth considering in selecting activities to support students in improving their full potential in teaching and learning processes. Besides, classroom interaction plays a crucial role in achieving the intended goals in the teaching and learning processes.

The Application of the Inductive Method in Secondary School English Teaching

Grammar is a foundational procedure throughout English teaching, which enables helps students to further know about the structure of language formation and the ideographic function of language and promotes the cultivation of students' comprehensive language ability. After reviewing previous literature, the main findings of this paper were: 1) the introduction of the inductive method, 2) prosses, 3) practice. Grammar plays the main role in English teaching, including reading, listening, speaking, and writing. However, during practical English teaching, especially in the secondary school period, Chinese students suffer from all four parts because of grammar problems. Therefore, the inductive method plays an important role in grammar teaching because it can help students understand easily confusing words, phrases, and grammatical structures.

Common mistakes in pronouncing English consonant clusters: A case study of Vietnamese learners

Pronunciation plays a significant role in English teaching and learning around the world and this particular field has received much attention from several scholars. The study was conducted to investigate common mistakes made by Vietnamese university learners while pronouncing English consonant clusters. This is a quantitative study with the participation of 39 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. To collect data for the study, a pronunciation test was employed. The results show that the common mistakes made by the learners varied, depending on the types of consonant clusters. Specifically, clusters containing voiceless plosives led to the highest mispronunciation. There was also a tendency to simplify the complex clusters of three-consonant by deleting the first, second consonant, or in some cases, both. Accordingly, this study suggests pedagogical implications for teachers and learners in similar contexts in Vietnam in acquiring the pronunciation of English.

Analysis on Teacher’s Roles in Lead-in Activities of College English Class

Lead-in activity is the most important part of English classroom teaching and plays an important role in English teaching. At the same time, the role of teachers in English class is also very crucial, which not only affects the quality of teaching to a great extent, but also greatly affects the teacher-student relationship and teaching atmosphere in the class process. After reviewing relevant literature, it is found that the combination of the two studies is relatively rare. What kinds of roles teachers play in classroom leading activities, and what kind of role each role has, there is still a lack of substantive research. Therefore, this paper tries to study the role of teachers shown in the lead-in link of the 30 excellent teachers who participated in The National Final of the "Teaching Star" Competition of in 2020-2021, and tries to extract the efficient classroom lead-in methods and the effective teacher roles, so as to improve the teaching quality and promote the overall progress of teaching. Three revelations are drawn from the whole study: the effectiveness of classroom introduction, teachers' language literacy and the optimization of teachers' roles jointly determine the quality of English classroom teaching.

Optimization of College English Classroom Teaching Process from the Perspective of Educational Psychology Based on Multi-feature Blended Learning

In the traditional English teaching process, instructors tend to conduct teacher-centered classroom activities. This is convenient for teachers to play a leading role in the teaching process, and effectively organize and control the entire classroom instructional process. The initiative of students is neglected and the creativity and imagination of students is limited, which cannot focus on student individual differences in accordance with their aptitude. As a result, the use of the computer-assisted learning should be paid more attention. Compared with traditional classroom learning, online learning not only has no time and space constraints, but more importantly, students can choose their own learning content and learning according to their own conditions during the online learning process, in order to give full play to the initiative of students in learning. This study combines the practical teaching of the English grammar course of educational psychology, focuses on the correlation between English classroom teaching and learning level, major, and gender. Data will be collected, organized and analysed by mathematical statistics. The optimization process is designed by mixing multiple features and multiple methods. The results indicate that only 26% of freshmen believe that educational psychology has played a significant role in English teaching, while 72% of seniors believe that educational psychology is very important for learning English. It can be seen that teaching English to students from the perspective of educational psychology is very important for students. Meanwhile, it can be said that the blended learning mode is a new and optimized learning method under the background of e-learning, which can effectively improve the current English classroom teaching effect at tertiary level.

The Role of Technology for Language Teaching and Learning: An Evaluative Study

The primary objective of this paper is to examine the role of technology for language teaching. It focusses to make English language teachers cognizant of the techniques to implement appropriately. Technology plays an essential role in teaching of English. It helps in giving a practical method to a resource. Technology when perfectly incorporated enriches the objectives of learning. Efficacious integration of technology is fruitful when students can select them to acquire information in a judicious manner, examine and combine the information, and present it professionally There is a significant development in the teaching of English language methodology with the application of new technology. Technology is unceasingly, and precipitously, growing. To maximise progressive language learning outcomes, student-teacher platforms are created extensively. Accordingly, the present English language teachers now actively integrate different technological aids devised to help the best possible teaching approaches.
