| Summary: | In recent years, ‘reading comprehension’ has become one of the core general education courses in colleges. Meanwhile, flipped learning is a common way used in domestic education sectors for the teaching of these ‘reading comprehension’ courses. This paper explores how to employ quality talks in the ePUB3 eBook-based flipped learning and hence proposes a quality talk-centric ePUB3 eBook-based flipped learning ‘reading comprehension’ course design for increasing the learning effects of students' ‘reading comprehension’. Then, it applies this design to the ‘prose reading’ unit of a ‘reading teaching’ course in a local university to design its ePUB3 eBook contents and quality talk mechanisms. For assessment, a quasi-experimental study on the control analysis and its accompanied questionnaires are conduced to verify students’ learning effectiveness and satisfaction of applying quality talks to the ePUB3 eBook-based flipped learning in ‘reading comprehension’ courses. The research results show that the proposed course design, through the quality talk-centric ePUB3 eBook-based flipped learning, can produce the better learning effects of students' ‘reading comprehension’ than that through the general talk-centric one. Further, students also satisfy using this approach in their learning. |
