Abstract

Stimulating learners’ engagement in a large class is one of the most important issues for language educators (Lamb, 2017). The present review aims to offer a review of Mentimeter for creating interactive presentations in large language classrooms. Driven by the continuous development of mobile technologies, language educators and teachers apply ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) approach in using technology in classes. BYOD allows teachers and students to use their personally owned device and invite them to actively participate in various forms of in-class activities (Stowell, 2015). Mentimeter is an engaging and interactive Learner Response System (LRS). It allows real-time interaction between language educators and learners via mobile devices. At present, Mentimeter has over 200 million users, and 90,000 customers across more than 220 countries and territories (Mentimeter, 2021), and the application of this tool in language education deserves a deep and critical review.
引人入胜,令人印象深刻和迷人的语言学习者通过互动演示-回顾Mentimeter
对于语言教育者来说,在大班教学中激发学习者的参与度是最重要的问题之一(Lamb, 2017)。本综述的目的是对在大型语言教室中创建交互式演示的Mentimeter进行综述。在移动技术不断发展的推动下,语言教育者和教师在课堂上运用“自带设备”(BYOD)的方法来使用技术。BYOD允许教师和学生使用自己拥有的设备,并邀请他们积极参与各种形式的课堂活动(Stowell, 2015)。Mentimeter是一个引人入胜的交互式学习者响应系统(LRS)。它允许语言教育者和学习者通过移动设备进行实时互动。目前,Mentimeter在220多个国家和地区拥有超过2亿用户和9万客户(Mentimeter, 2021),该工具在语言教育中的应用值得深入和批判性的审查。
