Maintaining Reading Flow in E-Readers with Interactive Grammar Augmentations for Language Learning In Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (bib) |
Books can be a valuable resource for language learners, providing entertainment and showcasing authentic language usage. To further support learners, e-book platforms already include interactive vocabulary aids. Similarly, research has started to investigate the feasibility and usability of grammar aids. However, grammar aids can hinder reading flow. In this paper, we design an interactive e-reading interface with different levels of grammar support. We perform a within-subject user study (n = 24) where we assess the relationship between the reading flow, usability, and usefulness with these designs in a fiction reading scenario. Our findings show that more detailed designs are considered more useful, but also more disruptive and less usable than simpler designs. Hence, grammar support interfaces need to balance the focus on learning and the reading experience. |
