Computer Assisted English Learning System with Gestures for Young Children

摘要

Kids use the computer assisted language learning systems to learn English. The contents of the system are well designed and kids enjoy them. From Cognitive Psychology we found gestures played useful role in learning so we developed the language learning system utilizing gestures. The system provides similar contents as the existing system but tries to enforce users to follow gestures related to given words. We compared the proposed system with an existing one in terms of memorizing test scores. The average improvement achieved using the proposed system was little better than one achieved using the existing system.
