Application of Big Data-based Information Technology in Business English Courses in Colleges and Universities

Abstract In this paper, after using Cool Edit Pro2.1 software to complete the speech signal acquisition work, the DTW method is used to pre-emphasize the speech signal. Due to the small continuous correlation between adjacent frames, the use of windowing and frame-splitting operation makes the amplitude change of the speech signal smooth and obtains the spectral envelope of the speech signal. The negative impact of MFCC feature parameter extraction is optimized by parameterizing the volume intensity and fundamental trajectory, and the application of the English scoring mechanism in business English education is explored. According to the current situation of business English teaching in colleges and universities, research problems and sampling objects are identified, and statistical analysis is applied to analyze the teaching effect of business English informatization by example. The results show that the speech evaluation system of spoken business English based on DTW does not differ much from the similar results of the scoring of the master’s degree of English majors in our university, and its difference value always stays between 1 and 10. In terms of the simple correlation coefficient and significance level (0.01), the simple correlation coefficient between teaching effectiveness and the use of technological media is 0.385 (P=0.00), which means that there is a significant correlation between both teaching effectiveness and the use of technological media. This study improves the standardization of English pronunciation among students, which is important for the development of business English in colleges and universities.

MULTIMEDIA DESIGN PROXEMICS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF TRADE EXPOSITION AS A SOCIOCULTURAL PHENOMENON

The article deals with the relationship between space, time and communication in the context of a trade exposition. The role of proxemics, studying the use of spatial relationships in the process of communication, as well as the concept of “affordance”, defining the ways of using space, are analysed. Particular attention is paid to scenario-based design, which allows to create products meeting the users’ needs. In modern shopping centres, social interaction occurs, and companies actively use gaming scenarios to attract and engage customers. Learning to interact happens through a variety of channels, with social media and peer-to-peer interaction playing an important role. In peer-to-peer manufacturing, producers collectively create a product by participating in a decentralised network production system. Communication through trade exposition design with the use of media technologies allows to combine all this into a system, including in the virtual world owing to the artistic and aesthetic aspect. As a result of the study, it can be concluded that communication practices in the commercial space have evolved from interpersonal contacts, where the main goal was the acquisition of goods or services and where communication could be one of the interaction goals, to a gradual reduction in the role and importance of direct contacts between the seller and the buyer.

The Application of Digital Multimedia Technology in the Innovative Mode of English Teaching in institutions of higher education

Abstract Innovative English teaching resources will inevitably result from the use of media technology in the classroom. This article will examine the new approach to teaching English in college from the standpoint of teaching resources. In order to establish a new mode of English teaching in higher education institutions based on personalized recommendation of teaching resources, this paper proposes two recommendation algorithms: one is content-based, and the other is collaborative filtering. The algorithm is enhanced by combining it with the design of multimedia English teaching resources. The influence of hit rate and MAE values prior to and following the cooperative filtering recommendation method is examined. The distinction between the pre-and post-test results of the experimental and control courses is analyzed and compared to conclude the examination of the impact of the novel model of teaching college English. The analysis indicates that the improved recommendation algorithm has a 4.85% higher hit rate than the traditional collaborative filtering algorithm. The improved recommendation algorithm is more accurate than the traditional recommendation algorithm, as suggested by this.
