Abstract

The progress of modern technology has led to diversified teaching methods. Currently, many teaching tools are gradually being combined with technology to create interactive experiences that differ from those of the past. PlayTalk English Teaching E-book was developed in this study through the use of the Voiceflow platform. Teaching e-book for the fifth and sixth grades on an online education platform was used as a reference for the teaching contents. This study used Learning Motivation Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale to evaluate students’ learning effects under two of the above-mentioned different teaching methods. During the experiment process, the subjects were divided into two groups. In the experimental group, the subjects learned English by means of the PlayTalk English Teaching E-book, while in the control group, the subjects were taught by means of a web-based education platform e-book. All the subjects were tested by the Learning Motivation Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale before and after teaching. The experimental results indicated that the average score of PlayTalk English Teaching E-book teaching on the Learning Motivation Scale was 4.396 (out of 5.0), which was higher than the average score (3.770) of the web-based education platform e-book. The conclusions of this study can be used as a reference for future educators who design e-books to improve school children’s learning interest and to improve the existing learning platforms, as well as extend the application of new technologies in teaching so as to provide students with a higher quality teaching system.
