Title
Dynamic e-book guidance system for English reading with learning portfolio analysis.
Abstract
Purpose - Learners were provided with personalized and adaptive articles in a dynamic real-time manner. This study aims to improve learners' interest in learning English and motivate them through an appropriate e-book assistance mechanism, thus increasing their English reading-comprehension skills. Design/methodology/approach - In addition to their general auxiliary functions, e-books were designed to provide other relevant auxiliary functions to meet the English reading-learning requirements. The e-book was also equipped with a personalized reading guidance and assistance mechanism for conducting systematic assessments and calculations on the basis of the learner's reading comprehension skills, article difficulty and difficulty stratification and connections between articles. Findings - The personalized reading guidance and assistance strategy, which provided articles in line with the learners' personal abilities and presented the articles in a correlated method, facilitated learners' progressive learning and improved their reading-comprehension abilities. Learners' confidence and satisfaction toward English reading can be improved effectively through adaptive guidance. Originality/value - A real-time and dynamic reading guidance strategy was established in this study by considering the learner's reading-comprehension skills, article difficulty and difficulty stratification and the connections between articles.
