Abstract
Taiwan, a multicultural society, has a variety of local dialects except for Mandarin. Among the languages that our government intends to advocate, sign language is one of them. The Ministry of Education is dedicated to carrying out the development of Taiwan sign language. Nonetheless, due to the tense schedule of sign language courses, teachers are usually unable to maintain a good quality and smooth progression of the lessons in the past. Besides, lacking opportunities to practice for students after classes leading to a poor performance. With the innovation of technology as well as the booming of image recognition technology, the difficulties in learning sign language have a chance to be solved by providing the learning assistance and immediate feedback mechanism. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop an “AI Sign Language Recognition Assisted Learning Website”, including multimedia digital teaching materials and real-time feedback, to give aid to sign language learning, and to test its effectiveness through Quasi-experimental Research. 60 freshmen of senior high school students will be invited to this experiment. They will be grouped by experiment and control group and adapt different practice methods respectively after receiving sign language lessons. It is anticipated that the learning effectiveness and motivation strength of the students in the experiment group who receive real-time feedback provided by this research while practicing will be better than those who receive nothing in the control group.
