Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design and develop a three-in-one share platform in cooperative English reading (3-in-1 SPICEreading) to help EFL teacher effectively implement cooperative reading in EFL settings. With the attempt to make SPICEreading truly match both EFL teachers’ teaching and students’ learning requirements, a design research approach is adopted to make sure that the system is revised both at the target users’ suggestions and early English reading teaching rationale. Two versions of SPICEreading system as well as the revision reasons will be introduced in this paper. With the supports provided by the 3-in-1 SPICEreading system, it will be easy for an EFL teacher to develop reading materials, to guide students to do cooperative reading, and to assess students’ performance.
