Abstract
In this paper, we present a method of integrating a CALL system with RFID tags in a classroom in order to provide the basic support for listening activities based on the concept of Total Physical Response (TPR) Approach. We designed and developed a prototype system with the function of providing corrective feedback. The prototype system has the following three features: (1) Real objects are used as the options for responding to audio questions. (2) A considerable amount of attribute information is used to increase the variation in the questions. (3) The system has a function of providing error messages and additional questions, depending on the degree of a learner’s mistakes. Results from the experiment suggest that integrating real objects into the learning system by using RFID tags has a potential impact on the language learners.
