Abstract

This study delves into the effect of interactive e-content on enhancing listening skills and language comprehension through a quasi-experimental approach. The 200 secondary school students from eighth standard were randomly divided into groups. The researchers executed pre-test to assess the initial language skills of the learners. Experimental group was taught with interactive e-content, control group underwent traditional teaching. The intervention was followed by post-test. SPSS was used to analyze the data descriptive statistics and t-value specified significant enhancements in the experimental group. Pre-test and post-test t-value of control group was 58.4 and experimental group was 146.14, demonstrating substantial progress in listening skills. Post-test t-value of both groups was 31.09 (p0.01), approving superior effect of interactive e-content enhancing listening skills.  For language comprehension, pre-test and post-test t-value of control group was 70.23 and experimental group was 113.11. Post-test t-value of both groups was 28.05 (p0.01) conforming greater improvement for experimental group. The t-value of the rural 38.45 and urban 44.18 reveals more significant advancement, implying interactive e-content is effective for enhancing listening skills and language comprehension for both rural and urban students. The study recommends conducting further research on the impact of interactive e-content on reading and speaking skills in English language.

Abstract

The present study aimed to develop interactive e-content, conduct expert validation, and examine the appropriate level. The researchers used a purposive sampling technique to select the sample of 100 secondary school students and 35 teachers from the Kerala state scheme. The researchers adopted the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) model to develop interactive e-content. The study employed two quantitative methods. Firstly, the study administered expert validation sheets to three content and two media experts to validate developed interactive e-content. The study utilized the percentage analysis to evaluate the results of the expert validation sheets. Secondly, the study administered a survey questionnaire to 100 secondary school students and 35 teachers to examine the appropriate level of interactive e-content. The study employed the correlation method to analyze the questionnaire results, examining the strength and direction of relationships between variables. The average score of content expert validation is 95.5% and media expert validation is 91.5% confirm that the developed interactive e-content is highly valid and appropriate. A major challenge for the researchers was the insufficient internet speed in rural areas of Kerala. The study recommends that teachers have to develop interactive multimedia teaching-learning aids to improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing (LSRW) among students.
