The Influence Of Ipads And Tablet Computers On The Development Of Oral And Listening Abilities In Young Students

Abstract

This research looks at how using tablets like iPads affects the development of kids' listening and speaking skills. It is critical to comprehend the impact of educational technology on basic communication skills since it is becoming more and more incorporated into classrooms. Young students' capacity to express themselves verbally, participate in group discussions, and understand what others are saying is the primary emphasis of this study. In order to determine how well tablet-based learning aids work, the research uses a mixed-methods strategy, integrating quantitative tests with qualitative observations. Analysis of variance tests quantify changes in listening comprehension and verbal expressiveness. To put the numerical findings in perspective, qualitative insights are derived from interviews with educators and classroom observations. Evidence from early studies indicates that tablet computers may improve listening and speaking abilities via the provision of interesting, interactive material that demands engagement. Improving one's articulation and understanding may be possible with the help of educational applications made specifically for language development, which provide possibilities for practice and dynamic feedback. But how well these tools work depends on things like how often you use them, how well they integrate with conventional teaching approaches, and how good the apps are. The studies presented here shed light on the pros and cons of using tablets in preschool and elementary classrooms, highlighting the need for thoughtful content selection and methodical implementation. Tablets may help kids improve their listening and speaking skills, but the research says they shouldn't replace more conventional methods of teaching if researchers want them to reach their full potential as communicators.
