Hyper Mirror System Based Collaborative Language Learning between Foreign Language Learners and Native Speakers

This study verifies the validity of collaborative language learning between foreign language learners and native speakers in distance environment. In order to provide a high presence experience in remote video conferencing system, the environment used in our experiment is based on the Hyper Mirror (HM) video conferencing system in which students communicate with an experience of being somewhat similar to stay with partners side by side. In the current study, two separate coding schemes are separately used to analyze the students' learning outcomes and their learning process in HM system environment. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our combination of collaborative language learning and HM system for the foreign language learners.
