Assessing electronic educational cards (EECs) as a method of foreign language learning: An experimental design approach using kindergarten students

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of Electronic Educational Cards (EECs) on Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in Kindergarten. The experimental group participants (N = 500) and the control group participants (N = 500) were observed for six months and did pre-and post-experimental tests. The results showed that children in the experimental group compared to the control group demonstrated significant improvements in learning English as a Second Language. This study concluded that there is irrefutable empirical evidence that modern teaching methods should be encouraged and embraced for the betterment of early education students' learning. It is recommended that the format and structure of implementing the electronic revolution in Jordan’s early education sector be premised closely with that of the experimental group used in this study and rolled out throughout all the kindergartens in the Ma’an Governorate, and the entirety of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
