Abstract:
Plain Language Summary The Impact of Interactive Picture Book Teaching Methods This study aims to understand the effects of applying language picture books to interactive teaching methods on the English learning motivation, performance, and language and reading abilities of elementary school students in southern Taiwan. The research method employed is an experimental design model. In total, 192 students from eight Grade Six classes across two elementary schools in southern Taiwan, each class consisting of 24 students, utilized the same picture book materials for this experimental study. The methodology integrates language picture books with interactive teaching methods, combined with various teaching activities, to create a fun and enjoyable learning environment. This study observes students’ active participation and performance in the classroom and evaluates the impact of these activities on their learning motivation, language proficiency, and reading skills. The findings of this study are as follows: 1) The use of interactive teaching methods with language picture books significantly enhances students’ motivation to learn English, as evidenced by their active participation in class. 2) English picture books ignite children’s curiosity and interest in reading, boosting their motivation to learn English and fostering a profound interest in reading. 3) The curriculum, enriched with diverse teaching activities, establishes a joyful learning atmosphere, motivating students to continue their English learning journey even after the course concludes. Based on the results, we also present conclusions and discussions, hoping that language picture books can cultivate students’ listening and concentration abilities and contribute to the growth and enhancement of their language and reading skills.
