Authors:Qin; Feng, Yu, Anping Pages: 1 - 18 Abstract: In the 21st century, virtual reality technology has developed rapidly, and many researchers are full of enthusiasm for this technology. More and more researchers are devoted to the field of scientific research and attach importance to virtual reality research. Development and application is a hot topic in today's world. Virtual reality has been endowed with the function of bringing visual entertainment to people, and it is still used in the preview and talent training of many projects. In immersive multimedia art design, the application of virtual reality technology expresses the content vividly and creates an environment where art and technology are combined. Therefore, we need to examine the application of virtual reality technology in art design. Through the study of multimedia art design, the research on multimedia is no longer limited to the level of technology, but rises to the height of art, and establishes the language rules of multimedia design.

Authors:Zou; Bin, Xie, Sitian, Wang, Chenghao Pages: 1 - 18 Abstract: Willingness to Communicate (WTC) plays a crucial role in developing students' speaking proficiency in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. This study investigates whether students' in-class WTC can be enhanced through an AI-supported program and explores their perceptions of using the AI for future academic speaking development. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, incorporating questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to collect data. The quantitative findings indicate a significant improvement in students' in-class WTC following the implementation of the AI-powered English speech evaluation and feedback program named EAP Talk. The interview data further reveal that participants generally hold positive attitudes toward using the AI platform for speaking practice. They report notable improvements in their speaking skills and learning experience and express a strong willingness to continue using the platform in the future. This study offers pedagogical implications for EFL learners, teachers and language learning software developers, highlighting the potential of AI-assisted programs in fostering WTC and confidence. It also provides recommendations for future research on the integration of AI in spoken language teaching and learning.

Authors:Hou; Hsing-Yu, Wu, Pei-Jung, Chen, Chih-Teng, Huang, Li-Wen Pages: 1 - 22 Abstract: This study created an all-English learning environment for teachers and students by integrating the theoretical framework of the University Competence Assessment Network common competency with the pedagogical method of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI). The study targeted approximately 45 students, ranging from sophomore to senior, taking general education big data application courses. The study used a questionnaire with a satisfaction scale that combined the school's teaching evaluation items with four EMI skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) to assess whether innovative teaching strategies satisfied the students. The results showed that all competencies except interpersonal interaction significantly improved, especially problem solving ability. The teaching environment created by the study employed Tableau software, which makes it easier to create clear and information-rich graphic designs and visual presentations. The all-English teaching method improved students' English listening and other skills. These results suggest that in the future, big data courses using EMI should incorporate more elements of oral expression and technical English writing.

Authors:Cuevas; Erik Hombre, Zaldivar, Daniel, Perez, Marco Pages: 1 - 17 Abstract: The integration of various programming languages into the undergraduate engineering curriculum often occurs without adequate evaluation of their effectiveness within specific disciplines. Recently, Python and MATLAB have garnered significant attention as preferred languages for teaching subjects such as image processing and computer vision. Despite their popularity, few studies have evaluated their effectiveness in teaching these topics. This study aimed to determine which programming language, Python or MATLAB, facilitates a better understanding of image processing concepts. The analysis compared the learning performance of two groups, each comprising 40 students. One group utilized MATLAB as the programming tool, while the other implemented image processing algorithms using Python. To analyze the differences between these languages, a testing method of experimental design was employed. The results indicate that students who learned with MATLAB demonstrated superior learning performance compared to those who used Python.
