Abstract

With the concern about the sense of distance brought by online teaching and learning, the main focus of this article is to study the impacts of teacher's rise-fall intonation on students’ feelings of online distance and willingness to approach the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Through observing and micro-analyzing a video of online English speaking course, some impacts of the rise-fall intonation on the student’s interaction are found as follows: 1) Teacher’s rise-fall intonation can attract students' attention, bring a sense of friendliness, and subconsciously decrease the sense of online distance and increase their willingness to approach the ZPD. 2) Students will lose attention, feel tedious, and become less interactive to approach the ZPD if the teacher keeps using the same rise-fall intonation pattern. On this basis, there are three suggestions for researchers in the future: 1) Different teachers’ intonation pattern can be transformed into digital signal through Fourier Transform and Laplace Transform and then stored in a database. 2) The digital signal of flat intonation can be transformed and finally output as a rise-fall intonation. 3) Some software are needed in the future development of online education. They can constantly monitor teacher's intonation pattern and give a hint for teacher when the prolonged use of the same intonation pattern occurs.
