Effective Impacts of Smart Screen on English Language Acquisition at Different Ages and Study Levels

Effective Impacts of Smart Screen on English Language Acquisition

الملخص

This research investigates the intersection of educational technology and second language acquisition (SLA) through examination of smart screen integration at SpokenEnglish Academy, a private language institution.  A quantitative survey has been conducted to explore how interactive technology mediates the language acquisition process. The survey's data include 25 students who provide insights into learner perceptions of smart screen effectiveness. Also, a case study documents how SpokenEnglish Academy has implemented smart screens to examine language skill areas across (2.5-3) years during teaching class time. Findings have shown that students rate images/videos on smart screens (M=4.64) significantly higher than traditional methods for understanding new vocabulary. Primarily, 100% of respondents reported increased willingness to speak English during smart screen activities. Moreover, the literature review, including Krashen's Monitor Model regarding SLA, has been indicated. Therefore, this paper contributes valuable insights into how smart screen technology can enhance language acquisition by making input more accessible through multimodal presentation, such as lowering the affective filter through anxiety reduction, and facilitating meaningful interaction through authentic communication contexts.
