Abstract

This study was aimed at exploring the effects on students’ English learning and learning performance of computational thinking when the educational robots with computational thinking are integrated into the game-based learning of English oral interaction. On the other hand, the control group used the unplugged board games, and integrated computational thinking into the English oral interactive learning game. The experimental results indicated that through the integration of computational thinking and the game-based learning of English oral interaction, whether with the unplugged tools or the educational robots, the same computational thinking with English oral interactive game-based learning content can all effectively improved learners’ learning performance on English and computational thinking. However, the learning effectiveness of the group adopting the educational robots was significantly higher than the group using the unplugged tools.
