X-Education Framework: Enhance EFL English writing skills through smart Q&A mechanism
In the framework of a visit and working visit to the College of Technology, and the Faculty of Information Technology, on the afternoon of April 18, 2025, Professor Wu-Yuin Hwang gave a presentation with the topic: Xducation of Things (XoT): Harnessing AI and Edge Computing to Educate All Things with Edtech Lab members and students.
Presentation content focuses on the subject. XoT model for Education of all things using AI, IoT and edge computing through 5G/6G network, which becomes promising in the era of disruption. All objects covered in this study include not only physical objects but also digital objects. This study proposes XoT to create brains for objects and educate them. The foundation of this framwork is based on the forwarding mechanism of questions and answers Q&A forwarding.
This study aims to propose a theoretical framework and empirical implementation to answer the questions: the research question about X-Education concerns the impact of writing English as a foreign language (EFL) with or without forwarding mechanism Q& Answer (Q&A):
Is there any significant difference in the knowledge level of objects with or without the transition mechanism Q& Answer in X-Education?
Is there any significant difference in the interaction between humans and objects with or without transition mechanisms Q& Answer in X-Education?
Is there any significant difference in the learning behavior of EFL learners with or without transition mechanism Q& Answers and their impact on EFL writing in src="https://nct.neu.edu.vn/uploads/download_5_8bb08cb577.png" alt="download (5).png" width="732" height="750">
X-Education for EFL Learning
For implementation, a system has been developed with learning activities that have been designed to measure the progress of special learners. especially learning foreign languages.
This preliminary study shows that in the X-Education model, all objects can educate each other through learning and teaching from objects another entity, whether physical, digital, artificial intelligence or human.
Hence, the X-Education framework can be used as a foundation for designing pedagogical aspects of the future of education. This is because teachers not only teach learners but also teach other objects, such as smart physical objects, to improve their knowledge.
Many discussion questions were raised by students and lab members related to the differences between IoT and XoT as well as methods to increase learners' English writing ability.
