“…These findings are consistent with the assumption of the social constructivist theory that effective learning takes place when it involves communication, participation, and physical activities (Vygotsky, 1978). The findings of this study also concur with many previous studies on the effectiveness of task-based learning in developing English learners' speaking skills (Dewi et al, 2020;Fang et al, 2021;Nita & Rozimela, 2019;Omar et al, 2021;Sariannur, 2017). Task-based learning activities are conducted fascinatingly as learners communicate freely with instructors and peers.…”

Effective teaching and learning activities are required to provide language learners with chances to develop communicative competence. In 2000, the Malaysian Ministry of Education introduced a program entitled “Literacy and Numeracy Screening” (LINUS) to enhance learners’ language proficiency. Despite the existence of this program, research shows that students in Malaysia face difficulties in developing English speaking abilities. This study, therefore, focuses on the application of task-based learning, particularly under the LINUS program. Specifically, the study aims to explore primary school pupils’ English speaking achievements and determine the extent of their improvements after learning through the task-based approach. This study employed a quasi-experimental method in which English-speaking tests (pre-test and post-test) were used as data-gathering instruments. The data were collected from a sample of 30 first-year primary school pupils at a national primary school using purposive sampling. The findings showed that as most of the pupils scored higher marks in the post-test compared to the pre-test. Further analysis revealed that task-based learning under the LINUS program enhances pupils’ English speaking achievement significantly. The task-based learning approach provides learners with chances to interact with peers and teachers to develop self-confidence, which in turn, helps them acquire language skills. It was envisaged that this study could provide English instructors, particularly primary school teachers, with valuable insights into the development of a more creative approach to teaching English speaking subjects through task-based learning under the LINUS program.

In order to improve the quality of college English vocabulary teaching, this paper studies the application of mobile technology in college English vocabulary teaching. The advantages of mobile technology are analyzed, and different mobile technology communication deployment schemes are determined according to different needs and environments of English vocabulary learning, so as to build a college English vocabulary teaching system, which is mainly composed of the user layer, mobile network layer, and English vocabulary data layer. Among them, the main functions of the user layer are user login, system information setting, English vocabulary resource browsing, uploading English vocabulary homework, etc., and determine user preference data through user logs. The mobile network layer is designed using mobile technology to create the delay control technique of the system mobile communication, and the system mobile network layer’s LAN is set up to increase data transmission speed. Finally, set up the database according to the English vocabulary of English words field, calculating Euclidean distance to determine the relationship between them, and then through random set classification vocabulary data types, calculate the similarity degree of the data extraction vocabulary data characteristics and remove high similarity of the English vocabulary data to reduce the difficulty of system storage. The experimental findings suggest that the mobile technology-based system has high performance and dependability and may be widely used in practice.

“…Figure 12 suggests that there are significant differences in four dimensions in the paired sample t-test, including classroom progress anxiety (p = 0.000 < 0.05), classroom speaking anxiety (p = 0.000 < 0.05), evaluation anxiety (p = 0.017 < 0.05), and oral anxiety (p = 0.025 > 0.05). The above data once again proves that the HCI training system is an effective way to improve learners' learning motivation (Fang et al, 2021) and self-confidence.…”

The role of the human–computer interaction (HCI) system in college students’ oral English learning is discussed to analyze the current situation of college students’ oral English based on the HCI simulation system. The purpose is to study the oral education of college students. First, the theories of educational psychology, the HCI system, and the current situation of college students’ oral English learning are elaborated. Meanwhile, in oral English teaching, teachers use support vector machines and multimodal fusion intention perception methods in set theory to realize the interactive teaching between students and machines; then, the HCI simulation of oral English is explained. The current situation of college students’ oral English learning is analyzed by a questionnaire from the perspective of educational psychology. Finally, the HCI system in college students’ oral English learning is explored based on the learning level detection. The results show that 12% of college students are unqualified in oral English; 25% of them think their oral English level is medium; most of college students’ English learning anxiety is related to English progress anxiety; 18% of the students believe that they will study oral English for life; 32% of the students think that they have more opportunities to learn English at ordinary times; and most of the students learn English through English movies and songs outside of class. What attracts college students to learn oral English through the HCI system is that learning is not limited by time and space. Most students believe that their English level is good and hope that learning anxiety can be reduced through HCI systems. The strategies of college students’ oral English education with an HCI simulation system are evaluated based on the perspective of educational psychology, providing a research basis for oral English education in other regions and even the whole country to facilitate the better development of oral English education.
