The teachers attitudes towards the use of multimedia-assisted instruction in Chinese kindergarten English classes
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to understand the attitudes, challenges, and teaching
strategies of 44 Education First (EF) kindergarten English teachers in Kunming and
Chongqing campuses towards Multimedia-Assisted Instruction. Using a combination
of quantitative and qualitative methods, this study explores the factors that affect
kindergarten English teachers' attitudes towards Multimedia-Assisted Instruction, the
challenges teachers encounter when using Multimedia-Assisted Instruction, and the
teaching strategies. It is found that most kindergarten English teachers support
Multimedia-Assisted Instruction; the teaching environment and multimedia training
kindergarten English teachers receive affect the kindergarten English teachers' attitude
towards Multimedia-Assisted Instruction in kindergarten English classroom. In
addition, kindergarten English teachers are faced with challenges such as the failure of
multimedia equipment, students' inattention and excessive dependence on multimedia.
The results also reveal that while using Multimedia-Assisted Instruction, kindergarten
English teachers should combine multimedia English classes with traditional English
classes to create a better learning environment. Kindergarten English teachers need to
strengthen the theoretical research of Multimedia-Assisted Instruction to clarify the
status and role of Multimedia-Assisted Instruction methods in teaching. Kindergarten
English teachers should not completely abandon the traditional English teaching
methods but should actively combine them with Multimedia-Assisted Instruction.
