摘要

本文在全球英语教学(GELT)的背景下评估了Voki，一个创建说话虚拟形象的数字平台。它首先概述了在在线工具中使用动画角色来个性化语言课程和吸引学生的好处。作为一个基于网络的应用程序，Voki提供了多种定制选项，包括30多种语言的不同角色、背景和语音。本文描述了Voki如何通过让学生接触不同的英语口音和方言来支持GELT教学法，并通过“听力和发音”课程的反思来提高他们的听力和口语技能。尽管有一定的技术困难和教学限制，Voki似乎是一个有价值的工具来支持GELT教学法。

Supporting the Teaching of Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT) Through Voki

This paper evaluates Voki, a digital platform for creating speaking avatars, in the context of Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT). It firstly outlines the benefits of using animated characters in online tools to personalize language lessons and engage students. As a web-based application, Voki offers various customization options, including different characters, backgrounds and speech voices in over 30 languages. The paper describes how Voki can support GELT pedagogy by exposing students to different English accents and dialects and enhancing their listening and speaking skills with reflections from a ‘Listening and Pronunciation’ course. It is concluded that despite certain technical difficulties and pedagogical limitations, Voki seems a valuable tool to support GELT pedagogy.

期刊介绍： The RELC Journal is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on language education. The aim of this Journal is to present information and ideas on theories, research, methods and materials related to language learning and teaching. Within this framework the Journal welcomes contributions in such areas of current enquiry as first and second language learning and teaching, language and culture, discourse analysis, language planning, language testing, multilingual education, stylistics, translation and information technology. The RELC Journal, therefore, is concerned with linguistics applied to education and contributions that have in mind the common professional concerns of both the practitioner and the researcher.
