Research on the Application of Wordwall Platform in Children's Chinese Language Teaching under the Framework of Multiple Intelligences Theory
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v7i12.5023
Abstract
With the rapid development of international Chinese education, the number of young Chinese learners is rising yearly, calling for the innovation of traditional teaching methods. Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory (MIT) has been widely proven applicable to Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (CSL), yet research on integrating MIT with digital technologies for children’s CSL remains insufficient. This study explores the application of the gamified Wordwall platform in children’s Chinese teaching under the framework of MIT and verifies its effectiveness through empirical practice. The results show that Wordwall can significantly improve teaching efficiency and stimulate students’ intrinsic learning motivation. While the platform has good adaptability in teaching, it has limitations such as inadequate module connection, insufficient personalized feedback and poor task difficulty control, which require further optimization.
