Abstract :
The concept of information assisted instruction has been gradually introduced into English courses. Adaptive integration of technology and reading strategy not only strengthens students´ language ability and reading comprehension, but also promotes the effectiveness of language learning. In addition, related studies showed that reading articles for English learning on an e-book can improve English learning effectiveness. Therefore, this study developed an advanced e-book system equipped with a reading guidance mechanism for English reading learning process. The guidance mechanism can provide a dynamic and real-time personalized article recommendation in light of the analysis of article correlation, article difficulty, and learners´ ability. Our findings indicate that this dynamic guidance mechanism could effectively enhance the learners´ interest as well as promote the effectiveness in learning English.
