One of the core subjects, English, is the most widely mode of language both spoken and written in Singapore. Therefore it is of paramount important that the students can communicate effectively using it and become independent lifelong learners.
However due to the heavy workload and limited time that current students encountered led to students trying to find a more efficient way to revise and reinforce their learning method to better suit their current learning ability. Nevertheless, there is still an absence of studying technique that tailor to each individual student’s learning ability.
This project aims to develop and build an English Comprehension Knowledge System which will aid student in better prepare for their English examination. The author focused primarily on comprehension which includes Graphic Stimulus, Open-Ended, Closed-Ended and Comprehension Cloze, which holds a substantial percentage in the examination. With the increasing amount of technology used, the system will be web based providing numerous features like viewing, practicing and analyzing of questions. In order to overcome the above challenges, the author emphasize on two approaches, Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) and Test Paper Generation (TPG) techniques.
In conclusion, through the use of the system, the author hope that it will help enhance the quality of learning from the result of practicing questions that are in line with each student’s capability therefore achieving better grades. |
