Recognizing the emotion of learners by physiological sensors to improve english learning performance

Now the context-aware learning has been the hot subject for many scholars to explore in e-learning. In the context-aware learning, the learners interact with the learning environment to stimulate the learner's emotion. Learners will be immersed in the context-aware learning environment thus enhance their learning performance. However, most of scholars had discussed the interaction between the learner and the learning environment. In fact, the emotion of learner is a more important factor than the learning environment to affect the learning performance. Hence we want to design the learning system that uses physiological sensors to recognize the emotion of learner. The learning system will adjust the learning level and give suitable aids according to the emotion of the learner so that the learner can have the better learning performance.
