Chapter 6 Conclusions and Recommendations
6.2 Recommendations
The recommendations for future research are summarized as follows:
1. In the future, the research can establish the database which stores the test performances of the students. Then teachers, students and parents could check the students’ progress, and based on Fig. 1.3, it is suggested that the individual learning path could be provided to students.
2. The proposed Matlab toolbox is suggested to be compared with other toolbox of relevant theory to reach better effect.
3. In order to reach more accurate decision-making results, it is suggested to increase more coursebook selection criteria, and interview more professionals and students in experimental test 3. Besides, in order to obtain teacher’s and student’s attitudes toward choosing English coursebook, the qualitative research, like questionnaire could be done.
Moreover, other soft-computing method, like the rough set, can also be used to verify the results, and it is believed that better results can be reached.
89
4. The diagnosis sheet is suggested to be established in future research (please see Fig. 6.1).
Diagnosis Sheet
---Listening → CEF AI
( suggested learning path: LEI-level 1 ) Subject: English
school system students
parents teachers
Fig. 6.1 Suggested Diagnosis Sheet
According to Fig. 6.1, students, parents, and teachers could benefit from the diagnosis system where students can follow the suggested learning path;
teachers can provide remedial instructions and adjust their teaching methods;
parents can check their children’s learning progress immediately.
